Presented by Tim Collins, this three-part series presents a portrait of the twentieth century by following the fortunes of three history-making ships. From the Titanic’s fateful launch to the sinking of the Bismark, from the German sea blockade to the departure of the TS Canberra to fight in the Falklands, we experience the century of ship-building through a series of resounding naval engagements that saved Britain and Europe from wartime disaster.
