One of my favourite #OceanLiners, #RMSAquitania, was launched on #ThisDayInHistory in 1913. With a service life running from 1914 to 1950, #Cunard's stately and handsome #Aquitania worked as a troopship during both World Wars & was the last four-stack liner working the Atlantic.

#RMSTitanic left the port of #Southampton in 1912 on #ThisDayInHistory for her maiden voyage to NYC. She never made it, striking an iceberg and sinking due to her captain's negligence in not reducing speed. #Titanic is one of very few #OceanLiners known to the general public.

#RMSCeltic, first in a quartet of big new #OceanLiners for #WhiteStar, was launched on #ThisDayInHistory in 1901. She and her sisters in #TheBigFour inaugurated White Star Line's new emphasis on unparalleled luxury & comfort instead of competitive speed (with her modest 16 kn).

My love of #OceanLiners extends to the odd ones, like #Soviet liner #MikhailLermontov, which was launched in 1970 for the Atlantic run but converted into a #CruiseShip. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1986, in harbour & under command of a #NewZealand pilot, she was run aground and sunk.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1967, the Atlantic greyhound #RMSQueenMary arrived in my home town of #LongBeach, CA, to begin her new life as a hotel. Growing up in the shadow of the #QueenMary was great for an autistic nerdy kid who loved the #OceanLiners! I still enjoy visiting her.
