"'Titanic' and Her Sisters 'Olympic' and 'Britannic'" by Peter Davies-Garner is a wonderful reference for serious ship modelers or for historians of the class. I am fairly knowledgeable about this class of ships, but Davies-Garner turns up detail I previously had no knowledge of (e.g. the arrangement of benches on deck of the three sisters, the two foot addition to the beam of "Britannic," etc.) The information about the myriad of lifeboat and davit arrangements (which were modified extensively after the "Titanic" disaster) is greatly helpful to understanding the configurations of the ships at different times in their lives. Likewise the level of detail concerning changes made to the ships throughout their careers (especially important in the case of the long-lived "Olympic") is excellent.The book begins by discussing the history of the ships, and putting it in context of the then-current maritime world. There are numerous excellent photos of all three sisters, and frequent comparisons and contrasts between them. The book then discusses the pros and cons of each kit available of the ship at the time of publishing, and gives information on converting "Titanic" into one of her sisters (there are more differences than you might at first think.) There are also excellent line drawings of the three ships from different perspectives, and in a very welcome development, substantial discussion of the dazzle camouflage schemes worn by "Olympic" during World War One. Aftermarket details (brass railings, etc.) are also discussed, as are sources for additional reference.If you are interested in building an accurate scale model of "Olympic," "Titanic," or "Britannic," this book is a must. Even if you aren't interested in the modeling aspects involved, this is still a great handbook of details of the three great ships.
