Incredible Ships That Were Lost to War

Not every ship that graces the seas has the luck of outlasting history long enough to face the scrapper's torches. Many of these fell victim to a similar fate - struck down in their prime in the throes of wartime combat, doomed to an eternity on the ocean floor. The unique history of these once great ships were of no protection in times of war. Whether it be a grand ocean liner such as the SS Rex, a cargo ship like the SS Thistlegorm, or even vaunted destroyers like HMS Glowworm, no ship is ever truly safe when battle lines are drawn, and everyone is a target. Oceanliner Designs explores the design, construction, engineering and operation of history’s greatest vessels– from Titanic to Queen Mary and from the Empress of Ireland to the Lusitania.
