Regular price
€31.99
What more can be said about the ill-fated RMS Titanic, a ship that has achieved almost mythological status throughout the world? In truth, not a lot. But what about her sister ship, the railway stations and the boat trains that served her, the vessels that sent ice warnings and those that responded to her distress calls? Here Patrick Mylon explores many of the lesser-known aspects of Titanic’s legacy, telling the wider story that developed around the disaster. Using rare and previously unpublished images from his collection of White Star memorabilia, he places fresh emphasis on the vessels, events and locations Titanic encountered during her short life.
PATRICK MYLON spent his working life in the travel industry. He became captivated by Titanic after seeing the film A Night to Remember in 1958 and began what would become a lifetime’s hobby collecting White Star memorabilia. He purchased his first postcard in 1983 and now has a collection of over 4,000 items. He is a member of various societies connected with the Titanic and the White Star Line and lives in London. He has also written The Unseen Olympic, RMS Titanic: The Wider Story and White Star Liners at War for The History Press.
