Description

Great passenger ships that never were is a completely revised and updated version of Damned by Destiny (Teredo Books, 1982), a comprehensive account of the large passenger ships that, for one reason or another, never entered commercial service.

Some never made it off the drawing board or out of the model shop, some met with disaster after launch and some were diverted to wartime service but didn’t survive, never used for their original purpose.

They were all the victims of circumstance, whether due to financial crises, timing or changing technology.

Some of these liners and cruise vessels may have become the greatest passenger ships ever achieved.

They would have surpassed the most famous, not only in speed and splendour but in size and appearance, besides setting trends that were subsequently adopted for ships that did enter service.

With beautiful pictures and detailed diagrams this book is a true insight into what might have been.
