ocean liners

The Titanic and Normandie would be dinky now alongside modern cruise ships like the Symphony of the Seas, which is longer and heavier than those two. Are they also more luxurious?

The Lost Ships of Robert Ballard is a 2005 reprint of the 1997 book Lost Liners by the same authors, but it has another chapter added; which is about the Bismarck and other lost military ships of WWII. Lost Ships is only available in hardcover, but Lost Liners is in paperback and hardcover. I...

Bombshell story behind Titanic discovery revealed | Fox News I found this Titanic article that caught my attention not by the title but by the image it used. The funny part is that it is obviously not Titanic. From the gold stripes, promenade decks as well as most of all the funnel. The actual...

It looks like a French line vessel. The scene is set in the 1930s. Here is a GIF link of it, which looks like it includes behind the scenes CGI of it, and the scene in the film, which is set in fog.

Just read of the passing of billionaire David Rockefeller. Born 1915. Died 2017. Searched ancestry to see which liners he sailed on and there were quite a few, primarily in the 1920's and 1930's. e.g. Majestic, Europa, Bremen, New York, Liberte, Deutschland, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth. Do...

So I was rewatching the Titanic: Birth of a Legend documentary last night and paused at the part where Thomas Andrews and Mr. Chisholm were looking at "plans" for the Olympic class liners, depicting them with only three funnels instead of the four that we know them to have in their final design...

I have a spare copy of the third edition of the reprint from the Shipbuilder 1911 published by Patrick Stephens 1988. In nice condition, only the spine is a little faded. Will sell at a reasonable price, please message me if interested.

Going back to 1907, suppose you were the head of the design department at Harland and Wolff and given free reign over the design of the Olympic-class liners Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic, how would you guys have designed them? You would have the benefit of working with Thomas Andrews and...

Recently a book of photographs came into my posession of the liner Neptunia. I am selling this album on ebay.nl because I am more of a Normandie buff. If you are interested, have a look.

Hello, everyone. I just wanted to take a few minutes to let everyone here know that I am keeping smaller quantities of both of my books on hand at any given time. This has a number of advantages for me, including freeing up precious space at the house. However, when the stock is gone, it could...

Fine documentary covering liners form their beginnings to today. Some great footage and an interesting look at some peoples collections and memories. incidentally I've visited the Rex cinema in Stonehouse(mentioned in the documentary!) and its an amazing place. link below...

Hi all, Next Thursday 22 October there is an hour long doco about classic ocean liners on BBC4 at 9pm, featuring the cinema up in Scotland with Homeric's fittings and a house with four Mauretania cabins. Should be good. Cheers Rich

I've seen a poster which you can buy on a cruise ship website called "Evolution of the Ocean Liner". It has pictures and facts about 11 ships that were vital in the evolution of the ocean liner. The poster can be found here: http://www.cruiseserver.net/images/other/ocean_liner_poster_1000.jpg...

I like the two modern cruise ship designs of the SS Poseidon in the 2005 and 2006 remakes of "The Poseidon Adventure". Here's a link to a picture of the 2005 design: http://library.qualitysimulations.com/file-db/1229890873/thumbnail.jpg Here's a link to a picture of the 2006 design...

Just when I think every possible Titanic angle has been covered, intriguing new ones emerge. I don't know if this has been covered previously, but I have not seen anything at all relating to it. Captain Smith, as I understand it, traditionally and ceremonially (in regard for the high esteem...

I was not quite sure where to put this. For a few months I have considered the possibility of a Scottish Ocean Liners society. Its main interests will be the main shipping companies of Scotland such as the Allan line, and the great liners which were built on the Clyde etc, as well as immigration...
