Description: Step aboard one of the Orient Line's most storied vessels in this compelling maritime history of the RMS Otranto, from her 1909 launch as a proud passenger liner to her transformation into a wartime troopship. Follow her peacetime routes across the seas before the Great War drew her into service, culminating in the fateful events off the Scottish island of Islay in 1918. Drawing on detailed accounts of the collision, wreck, and daring rescue efforts, this book honors the courage of those involved and preserves the memory of a ship whose story deserves to be remembered.
