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!
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!
