It is a good read, but... Unfortunately, it relies mostly on secondary sources and leaves out major developments in the design of the Atlantic liner. Some of them left out developments are somewhat astounding. Also, the author makes frequent errors. At one point he mentions the Mauritania, I think it was, and the "ancient" Celtic in the same sentence. The problem is the Celtic was only two years older. Finally, his foot noting leaves a lot to be desired. It's minimal, at best, and not in the accepted "Chicago"style for a book about history. The book is interesting, but not something I would use as a reliable source. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Thalomen|Thalomen]] ([[User talk:Thalomen|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Thalomen|contribs]]) 03:18, 30 October 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
