Ocean liners were the main mode of intercontinental travel for over a century,
from the mid-19th century until airliners became popular and affordable for most travellers in the late 1960s.
Ocean liners also important carriers of mail and cargo.
Ships contracted to carry British Royal Mail used the designation RMS.
The North Atlantic route was busy with ships travelling between Europe and North America and known for
the fastest, largest and most advanced ocean liners.
Other busy routes included Europe to African and Asian colonies, Europe to South America, and migrant traffic from Europe to North America in the 19th and first two decades of the 20th centuries, and to Canada and Australia after the Second World War.
