Please Note: All ssMaritime and other related maritime/cruise sites are 100% non-commercial and privately owned. Be assured that I am NOT associated with any shipping or cruise companies or any travel/cruise agencies or any other organisations! Although the author has been in the passenger shipping industry since 1960, although is now retired but having completed around 680 Classic Liners and Cargo-Passengers Ships features I trust these will continue to provide classic ship enthusiasts the information the are seeking, but above all a great deal of pleasure! Reuben Goossens.

 

Trans Atlantic Record Breakers & Blue Riband Holders

The following is the latest consensus list of the research to date. Because there was no sanctioning body for the Blue Riband researchers are limited to surviving shipping company archives and press reports to develop the list of Blue Riband winners.

SS United States continues to hold the Blue Riband to this day!
