Ocean liners are large passenger ships designed for long-distance travel across oceans. They were primarily used in the early to mid-20th century for transatlantic voyages, connecting cities like New York and London. These vessels are built for comfort and speed, often featuring luxurious amenities such as dining rooms, lounges, and cabins.
Unlike modern cruise ships, which focus on leisure and entertainment, ocean liners were primarily intended for transportation. They played a significant role in immigration and trade, carrying thousands of passengers and cargo. Famous examples include the RMS Titanic and the Queen Mary.
