Shipbuilder Press began publishing manual style engineering books about ships’ workings in around 1906. The books in the series are known for their incredible detail from an engineering perspective. Generally used as a reference manual for technical information, the vintage editions relating to Titanic, such as this one, have become so collectible as to have fostered a cult-like following, with some collectors seeking the book as more of a status symbol than a research tool.
