The Unseen Olympic: The Ship in Rare Illustrations Paperback – 1 Sept. 2017

A superbly illustrated book and an interesting read. The book cover photo in particular gives an impression of her awesome size. The sister ship of Titanic had an illustrious career as troop ship and luxurious passenger liner. Scrapped in 1935, a great pity. This book is a good companion to Unseen Lusitania.

My son loves the book. He’s so into the Titanic and the sister ships too. I’m glad I bought this.

It is good to see R.M.S. Olympic, the much lesser-known sistership to the infamous Titanic, receiving much more attention the last few years. Unlike her sisters Titanic & Britannic, Olympic had a long & successful career. She was the first liner to be over 800 feet long and to break the 40,000 ton mark. She was also one of the best looking liners of her era.Overall, "The Unseen Olympic" is a well done book with lots of photos and a moderate amount of text. The author avoids many of the typical errors that often creep into books about Olympic.My only minor gripe is that many of the images in the book I have seen before. For a book titled "Unseen", there was a lot I had seen. But there were photos new to me and that is always welcome.I recommend this book on Olympic to anyone who has an interest in "Old Reliable".

This is a most pleasing book on a truly remarkable ocean liner.

Good book and pictures

Bought this for my father in law and he says that it is a really good book with plenty of details.

Interesting book to compare the Titanic with.

super.

My great nephew is enthralled with the Titanic and it's sister ship the Olympic. This book has fantastic illustrations, factual information even including the menu that the passengers had. This will be his Christmas gift and I can't wait to see the look on his face. I would highly recommend this book.

Mucha información y fotografías desconocidas, lo veo muy interesante, lo recomiendo

Finally I got the book! Frankly, there WAS some rare Olympic Pictures in the book, but, I feel hey - what about all the People who took pictures of her With their own camera? I am sure there are thousands pictures of her in private hands. just sad they don't come up With what they have(their kids). You can tell the author loves the ship, and have dedicated the book to her designer and to a man that DO NEED some credit....I won't name him - go look at the book! The author gives a lot of personal touch in the book and feel, like me, that the long endured Old Reliable DID deserve more credit than both Titanic and Britannic(as much as I am Titanic buff). She had a part in WW I and had hundreds of voyages. she saw the Statue of Liberty many times and had her home at the pier waiting her each time. Out of my understanbding why they scrapped ships. Now, we only have the deteriorating Britannic. I find it sad, so sad the Olympic was underated. Well, the book is(I just got it today!)full of Pictures and the information is very detailed. a 5 star buy!! Because I can't give 6.

Excellent document!
