Welcome
to the Ocean Liner Virtual
Museum (Est. 2005) - the only online museum in the world dedicated to
telling
the inspiring story of the ocean liners and ocean travel. In our
website we hope to give you a brief insight into the rich diversity of
companies and ships that sailed the oceans of the world during the
heyday of the ocean liners. As a virtual
museum we are accessible to everyone around the world 24 hours a day
via the wonderful technology that is the Internet. This of course
assuming that you have a computer and access to the Internet. But you
obviously do, otherwise you would not have reached this website and be
reading this! We
hope you enjoy your experience with us today and look forward to
welcoming you to the Ocean Liner Virtual Museum again very soon.

nature being a virtual museum, it does not physically exist. Therefore
