Growing up on the Isle of Wight, ships and the sea have always been
a huge part of David F. Hutchings’ life. He has been lucky enough
to turn this love of the maritime into a lifelong career, first as
a shipbuilder, then as a published historian. Two of his books have
been named ‘Book of the Month’ by Ships Monthly.
Research for RMS Mauretania (1907): Queen of the Seas led to the
preparation of a lecture for his local branch of the Royal
Institution of Naval Architects and the Institution of Marine
Engineering, Science and Technology, where it won the award for
‘The Best Technical Paper of 2016’. It is his second book for The
History Press.
[Pride of the North Atlantic is] an exceptional volume, noteworthy
for its engaging and fact-packed style.
[QE2: A Ship for All Seasons] keeps the historical record moving
along . . . a first-class tome.
[RMS Titanic: Owner’s Workshop Manual] comes through loud and clear
that the authors know ships from stem to stern.
