    Hi there. I'm doing research for a novel I'm writing and am wondering if you know if the SS Bremen would leave from Germany on a particular day of the week.

    Many thanks for your help!

    Hello, Sir! I am grateful for your fine research and lively writing on liners in film. In a similar vein, for a school project I am putting together a web application to capture as many references as possible to sea voyages depicted in films or television. Would you permit me to quote with credit from your remarkable essays or reproduce the images? This is an educational / enthusiast project for me to demonstrate skills acquired during a Web & Mobile app dev bootcamp. If you need more information or prefer email I am at prince dot george35 at gmail dot com. Best regards and thanks, George Prince Chicago IL

Ocean Liners in Movies or Films at Sea (updated Nov 2017)

Von
For liners and the shipping companies movies and films had been a top marketing tool Movies or Films and liners at sea, had been intriguing me since I have read about in my youth in LUXUSLINER - BILDER EINER GROSSEN ZEIT by Lee Server ( THE GOLDEN AGE OF OCEAN LINERS ). But earlier, mot only since my first crossing, I was keen watching movies with liners in it, and disapointed, which was an understatement, when I realized the films have been made in a set ashore in some movie "factory". That was after my first crossing.   by Earl of Cruise an essay in progress `Sabrina´, Humphrey Bogart in the office, while LIBERTÉ is sailing out of New York harbor - screenshot Ocean liners, especially those of the luxury category, had been the location of dramas, love stories, thrillers, suspense and catastrophies sinde film was born, or nearly.

HISTORY - The CUNARD - WHITE STAR Liner rms QUEEN ELIZABETH (1938-1972)

Von
Over years, in my early youth, the QUEEN ELIZABETH was shaping my mind for the perfect ocean liner, despite having made my first experiences with a liner onboard the HANSEATIC (1), ex EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND, ex EMPRESS OF JAPAN. When leaning at the rail of HANSEATIC entering the port, my eyes where every where and I wished to by a camera, I took all in. And when seeing the QUEEN ELIZABETH with my own eyes, the nice behaving young boy turned into a tomboy, that my grandmére was no longer able to tame ... I did draw quite a lot of looks, back then. I found, while on research, this article and thought it interesting publishing in my blog: written and published by John Sheperd at liverpoolships.org editing and comments by Earl of Cruise I ( John Shepard ) joined the CUNARD LINE in March 1962 as an Assistant Purser and sailed the QUEEN ELIZABETH throughout that year, before transferring to the Liverpool-based CARINTHIA in November, where I remained as Crew Purser for the next five...

Dr. Tamás Balogh told me his long journey with his new book `LINERS ´ of scaled liner drawings.

TITANIC Hungarian Research Group start to prepare a graphical presentation of the history of transoceanic passenger liners by scale drawings in 2002. The author leads us through the story from 1838 to the present day using more than 500 profile drawings of 280 liners from 40 shipping companies, with descriptions of the individual liners and the operating companies ( FaceBook LINERS ), which made the collection exceptionally abundant. The collection represents such rarely discussed topics as the history of the late Austro-Hungarian ocean liners or the planned, but ultimately cancelled giant passenger steamers.

Britain s Sleeper Trains - Enjoy a Revival

Von
A  revival of British Sleeper Trains is coming to enjoy us. by Alexander Naughton, editing by Earl of Cruise  Sleeper Trains epitomise the romance of travel and have a magic touch and cosmopolitan spirit to them as you go to sleep in one location and wake up refreshed in another. They are convenient, cost effective and environmentally friendly ways to travel. These lifeline trains allow people to make connections – for business, leisure and family – in a way that no other mode of transport can. In recent years, sleeper trains in Britain have experienced a great revival in their fortunes.
