Sea Lines Quarterly Magazine

Our magazine ‘Sea Lines’ is essential reading as it is the magazine for those interested in passenger liners of old and cruise ships and ferries of today. Now 48 pages of full colour,  with many photographs that are only to be seen on its pages. Articles cover new ships in service, the older vessels still in service and other interesting stories are recorded of ships that have changed their role or are no longer with us . Book and video reviews come ‘From the Library’ followed by news and industry talk in the quarterly column ‘Through the Porthole’, which keeps abreast of ships and their fate. Lastly Society news and information on talks is signalled ‘From the Engine Room’.

This magazine is for many members the main reason for joining the Ocean Liner Society. Back issues 10-56 are currently still available. For details of back issue contents see below. To order use the Membership Form
