	Ocean liner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An ocean liner is a large passenger ship, typically a motorized vessel that undertakes longer voyages on the open sea primarily for the purpose of transporting people from one place to another.
		Ocean liners were the primary mode of intercontinental travel for over a century, from the mid-19th century to the 1960s, when they were finally supplanted by airliners.
		The most notorious liner was the Titanic, infamous for sinking on her maiden voyage from Britain to the United States in 1912.

		But its pre-eminence as a major passenger liner port really dates from the early years of this century when the various facilites - docks, wharves, graving yards, railway links and passenger terminals - made Southampton one of the finest passenger ports in Europe - 'The Gateway to the World'.
		With the number and size of all these large passenger liners using the port and the narrow confines of its coastal waters allied to the nearby presence of the important and busy Naval base of Portsmouth, the risk of collision had become quite high.
		The liner was compelled to remain in Southampton for two weeks undergoing temporary repairs just to make it seaworthy for its journey to Belfast for a complete overhaul, which took another six weeks at a cost of £103,000.

	Torpedoed! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Diana Preston traces her investigation of the sinking of the Lusitania, the British passenger liner torpedoed in May of 1915 by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland, to the day in 1998 that she came across the ship's "giant bronze propeller, stark as a dinosaur bone, sitting on the quayside in Liverpool's docks."
		She unearthed evidence that sheds new light on the attack, which killed 1,201 of the 1,962 people aboard and, in her view, heralded the brutality that would characterize World War I. "The sinking of the Lusitania signaled a sea-change in the nature of warfare," she writes in Lusitania: An Epic Tragedy, published in May 2002.
		Following world condemnation after the sinking, German authorities recanted their initial boasts that they had deliberately torpedoed the ocean liner, saying that the captain of the submarine that launched the two torpedoes—one of which struck home—didn't know what he was firing at.

	Final port: the scrap heap for passenger liner SS Monterey
		But on Monday, the world's oldest major ocean liner is scheduled to begin its final journey as a powerful tug pushes it from Tampa's port to a beach in the Indian subcontinent, where workers will slice it into scrap metal.

		Dominion Monarch with 525 passengers, combined with her crew passenger ratio, offered a service that is unequalled to this day.
		Many larger, faster passenger liners would later serve on the Australasian service, however, with the eventual demise of the Dominion Monarch, the era of deluxe traditional sea travel ended.
		All too often, she would depart with just a small complement of passengers, therefore the time came when Shaw Savill had to decide that this grand liner had simply become uneconomic and was to be sold.
