Ocean Liners

The millions of people who cross the Atlantic every year usually do so by jet. These planes are fast, safe, and convenient. But in the past, virtually all Atlantic travelers took ships. The first ocean liners were primitive. On early 19th-century sailing ships, cabins were cold and wet. Food was fresh only on the first day, and the passengers suffered constantly from the condition Charles Dickens called “not ill, but going to be”. Some were going to be worse than ill. In those days, one out of six sailing ships crossing the Atlantic sank. Ocean Notes for Ladies, published in 1877, advises passengers to dress well because “a body washed ashore in good clothes would receive more respect”. But by the end of the 19th century, along with improved safety came comfort and, in some cases, luxury. Ocean liners were strictly divided by class. Down below, hundreds of immigrants were crowded together in steerage – the section having the poorest accommodations. Up above, first class passengers had private rooms with marble bathrooms, and they ate in elegant dining rooms.

After World War I, taking the boat to Europe became fashionable and popular for tourists as well as the rich. Bigger and bigger ships were built that carried a million tourists a year to Europe. This was the time of the greatest ocean liners. They were faster and more comfortable, and they offered food and luxuries comparable to good hotels. The voyage to Europe was seen as part of the vacation. Passengers swam, danced, and walked the decks looking for famous people on board. One passenger wrote about sailing on the French liner Normandie: “Caviar and pâté for dinner yesterday. The whole place is like a setting for a ballet.”

The Normandie was destroyed by a fire in 1942, and today almost all of the other great ocean liners are gone, too. They have been put out of business by jets. Jets are crowded, they aren’t elegant, and they serve mediocre food – but they are fast. Planes cross the Atlantic in six hours instead of six days, and travelers can’t resist their speed.
