Please Note: In recent times a good
number of ships were discovered on the system and many of these
are now online:
Recent update: The very last of these
ships, the 15th ship in-fact, is another two page
feature and it is now online. This is the P&O passenger Liner
and Cruise Ship, the much loved S.S. Himalaya (3)
of 1949, and I am sure that you will enjoy her story and the
countless photographs of her interiors and exteriors, etc. There
are even images of Cricketers heading to play the Ashes in the
All the 15 ships have now been uploaded,
and these ships include
1. From France came one of
the most amazing French liners ever, being the magnificent first
ever Art Deco style S.S. Īle de France of 1927, she remained the
French Lines most popular ship ever, in spite of
their new super sized and fast liner 2. the S.S. Normandie
of 1935, which was one of the greatest ships, but sadly she was
their least successful ships ever. Then there were four simply
delightful Dutch liners, 3. the S.S. Prinses Amalia of
1874, 4. the S.S. Gelria of 1913, and 5. the S.S. Jan
Pieterszoon Coen of 1915, and 6. the M.S. Colombia of
1930, next is the magnificent Scandinavian super luxury cruise
ship 7. the M.Y. Stella Polaris of 1927, and two great
Italian liners - 8. the S.S. Conte Grande of 1928, and 9.
the S.S. Frederico C of 1958, 10. is the R.M.S. Monarch of
Bermuda of 1931, which was sold to become the humble S.S. New
Australia and finally the Q.S.S. Arkadia, 11. the amazing R.M.S.
Aquitania of 1914, and she was such an amazing ship and I know
you will enjoy this spectacular feature as well - but she is
followed by - 12. The magnificent 31,938 GRT Cunard Liner, R.M.S.
Mauretania (1) of 1906 she was considered one of the
most elegant liners of her time and this feature will cover her
in detail with countless photographs as well as excellent Deck
Plans, etc. 13. M.V. Britannic (3) of 1930, 14.
and her sister-ship the M.V. Georgic (2) of 1932, two
brilliant Motor ships.

The worlds first ever Nuclear
Passenger-Cargo Liner, the N.S. Savannah was an
ultra modern, elegant and she was certainly one of the most
streamlined ships built for her day, and let me be totally honest
she is still as beautiful to this very day as she was on the day
as she was she departed on her maiden voyage on August 20, 1962!

Sadly, due to sheer fear of her being an Atomic ship she in reality was doomed to become a failure from the beginning for she would only carry passengers in her magnificent facilities, with the sublime service, cuisine, etc, but in just around two and a half years her passengers service concluded and she commenced a freight only service that continued until 1972.
Today she has become
