Damned By Destiny | A complete account of all the World's projects for larger 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 splendour, but in their very size and appearance. They were victims of circumstances - a fate narrowly missed by a few of the most celebrated liners.
