Forthcoming events

The Ocean Liner Society is a non-profit organisation whose members celebrate the passenger ship in its many forms.

Whether your interest is the liners of yesteryear, the cruise ships of today or ferries, the society has something for all.

Members include employees of major shipping companies, authors and ship buffs, inveterate travellers and armchair sailors.

Members receive the superb quarterly magazine Sea Lines - 48 colour pages of detailed articles by noted maritime authors on ocean liners and cruises ships, plus all the latest passenger ship news.

Membership applications are accepted all year round.

Queen Mary 2 is featured in Sea Lines Issue 55



Empress of Australia, Mardi Gras and Disney Wonder are all featured in Sea Lines Issue 55

Sea Lines Editing Team Vacancy

The editorial team of Clive Harvey and Chris Mason has put together 49 issues of this magazine and when the 50th comes round in the Spring, it is intended to be their last.

We therefore need new blood to take the magazine forward from the summer of 2010 so please think about what you can contribute as part of a team or whether you would be able to take on the full task.

You could be in America or Australia, Aberdeen or Alton, the Internet makes it possible to edit from anywhere, but having access to a good collection of memorabilia and brochures certainly helps. The exiting team wants to make the handover smooth and seamless and all help possible will be offered to get the new team up and running.

If you would be prepared to take over the wheel and steer Sea Lines into the next decade, please let Bill Mayes know via vacancies@ocean-liner-society.com
