Ocean Liner Curator — evidence-first maritime history

Ocean Liner Curator is a reference site for understanding historic ocean liners through evidence, material culture, and responsible interpretation. It approaches ocean liners not as legends, but as documented objects and systems.

The focus is on attribution, provenance, and comparative analysis — clarifying what can be known with confidence, what cannot, and why methodological restraint matters. This project is intended for collectors, researchers, and readers who value clarity over speculation.

For those who wish to explore further, Ocean Liner GPT is available as a guided research companion, applying the same standards to AI-assisted inquiry.
