Damned By Destiny

Williams, D.L. and De Kerbrech, R.P.: 1982 Brighton. Hardcover with dust jacket, 349 pages, illustrated. A complete account of all the world's projects for large passenger liners, which, for one reason or another, never entered service. Some were still-born, some met with disaster after launching, and some were diverted to other purposes during war. Potentially, some were the greatest liners ever conceived and would have surpassed the most famous, not only in speed and in splendor, but in their very size and appearance. They were victims of circumstance-a fate narrowly missed by a few of the most celebrated liners. ISBN 0903662094 In very good condition.
