Steamship Lines Advertisements, "The World is Yours," and "The Changeless Wonder of the Capes," July 1929
01
Artifact Overview
From the mid-19th century into the mid-20th, large ocean liners carried passengers between Europe and North America, and to other places around the world. Operators competed to build the fastest or most luxurious ships. The arrival of long-range jet airliners in the late 1950s -- which cut travel time from days to hours -- ended the age of ocean liners.
