The golden era of the transatlantic liner, never before has such majesty and splendor taken to sea. As ships grew larger with time, the luxury and opulence for which they become synonymous grew in proportion. Beginning as early as the 1920's and lingering on until the 60's, the heyday of the atlantic liner was a period when travelling meant style. These steel leviathans, transformed into graceful elegance by the finest craftsmen of the times, were more than just a mere method of transportation. Ocean liners came to symbolize hope for the starving emigrant, and status for the wealthy. They were icons of pride for the craftsmen who built them, and flagships of nationalism to the companies who operated them. Through time, as their being faded into the past, their memories have burned bright. Legends such as these will never die. From the memory of the ill-fated Normandie to the experience of a young child aboard the Queen Mary for the first time, these great ships have impacted the lives of so many. Join us as we look to the past, and pay tribute to these legendary giants. |
