I am building a reference archive of image
galleries, showing postcards and photographs of ocean liners, cruise
ships, ferries and excursion vessels. This is a huge task that will take
many years. Currently, there are over 2000 separate pages showing over 60000 images
on this website. However, there are still many shipping companies which
have not yet been added.
To aid navigation, you can browse the site index in the grey frame to
the left - if you cannot see this index frame,Click Here!!! You can also browse thumbnails from the
Gallery
Header Pages There is a list of recently
updated web pages showing details of all website
additions as they are
made
Please see the
Copyright Information for use of images - no images may
be used without permission. I cannot assist with family history enquiries and I have no access to
any passenger lists - try:-

Harold Jordan Postcards has an excellent website with postcards for
sale, including most Simplon Postcards releases.
The most valuable published reference sources on
modern cruise ships are the three editions of
Cruise Ships by William Mayes published by
Overview Press (www.overviewpress.co.uk).
The 3rd Edition is being published in September 2009, and details are
shown below. Each volume gives updates and disposals for ships in the
previous volume providing a continuous history of world cruise ships
fleets. It is therefore useful to have earlier volumes to gain a
complete record. Contact the publishers
Overview Press direct with an enquiries -

Anyone with an interest in passenger ships should

in its many forms. Whether your interest is the liners of yesteryear,
