Last Liners of the White Star Line book

[Mark Baber]

Mark C.---

I don't remember your mentioning a Georgic book before, and I can't seem to find it in any archived message. Do you have any of the details---title, author, etc.---of the book you saw in Liverpool?

 

[Mark Chirnside]

Hi!

It must have been another forum. I am afraid not -- but it was not very detailed from what I remember (I think it was quite thin). I seem to remember it being white or greyish and it might have been privately printed or by a small publisher. It might have been something like 'MV Georgic' -- but I really didn't take much notice. Sorry.

Best regards,

Mark.

Here is a reasonably interesting photo of Britannic loading cars in 1931. This from a White Star magazine of that year. Its not Georigc but an unusual view non the less.

Brian:

Here is classic photo-postcard image of the Georgic. This is taken after the second world war as she has been re-fitted with only one funnel and is also in White Star Livery. Also please note the dual house flags on the mainmast.

And now for an image of the Britannic taken in New York Harbor in 1939 just two weeks prior to the outbreak of the second world war.

Georgic never did look good after the war.

Here she is pre war.

It seems that amazon.co.uk also has it; yesterday I received an email from them that they had shipped a copy that I had ordered from them a long, long time ago.

 

[Paul Wilkinson]

Amazon certainly do have it, I received my copy from them a few weeks ago.

Cheers

I received the book today and am quite pleased with it. The photos are excellent, and include many I have never seen before. It also has much new info about the ships. I would have liked even more, but this is only nit-picking.
I would like to see a similiar book on White Star Line's Big 4.

Mine arrived today; from a brief skimming over lunch, it looks very good.

Richard deKerbrech has done some really first-class books on liners over the years. This looks like another example of that.

 

[Iain Stuart Yardley]

That pint is still on offer!

Has anyone seen it ANYWHERE?

Cheers,

Boz

 

[Mark Baber]

Yep, Boz, it's out, it's quite good and quite a few of us have it. Check amazon.co.uk; that's where I got mine.

 

[Iain Stuart Yardley]

Thanks for that Mark. It's on order, it's due to arrive Tuesday and it's going to be a big surprise for one particular old chap.

Now, what would you like to drink, sir?

Cheers,

Boz

If anyone is still interested, I found this book on ebay. It's not the book mentioned above, but may still be of some interest to people.
