Secrets of the Lost Liners

An extremely well done documentary series that offers an entertaining & informative background on notable ships that have been lost or abandoned. The period footage and photographs included offer a window into what it was like to experience ship travel in its heyday, but at least as compelling is the sad and dramatic stories behind the loss of the liners which are profiled.

The is how to do a documentary series. Production values are first class. There is little in the way of "Coming up next..." teases and subsequent recaps that pad out American shows. The footage is fascinating, the narration clear, and the information presented is compelling.

I don't know enough about the history of these ships to be able to comment on the accuracy of the six episodes in series one but the overall presentation is impressive indeed. I hope there will be more series to come.
