Artifact Overview
United States Lines was formed in 1921 and operated transatlantic passenger ocean liners until 1969. In the 1930s, when this brochure was printed, the company built two new liners: Manhattan and Washington. The arrival of transatlantic jet airliners in the late 1950s -- which cut travel time from days to hours -- ended the age of ocean liners.
