The book describes the history of three sister ships - Titanic, Olympic and Britannic, which were built by Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland, between 1907 and 1914. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the design, construction, launch, service and fate of these ships, including their technical specifications, passenger accommodations, and the tragic accidents that befell them. It also explores the impact of these events on the public and the media, as well as the lessons learned from these incidents that have influenced maritime safety regulations and practices today.

The book is divided into six chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the ships' lives, from their conception and construction to their maiden voyages and subsequent fates. The first chapter discusses the background to the ships' construction, including the rise of the White Star Line and the demand for luxury ocean liners. The second chapter examines the design and building process, highlighting the innovative features that made the ships revolutionary at the time.
