Ross Watton's book is a must for the 'rivet counter', scratch model builder, or Queen Mary buff that wants to know the full ins-and-outs of the ship's construction. Made up mostly of B&W photos taken during the fitting-out of the ship, and highly detailed deck and hull plans and drawings, the book is the perfect companion piece to the Queen Mary book by James Steele, which, through text and period photos, tells the story of the ship's successful historical career. None of that here. This is the (literally) nuts and bolts of the Queen. From the lifeboat davit schematics to the cabin number listings deck-by-deck, this book is a ship lovers' technical dream.
