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.
