Travel history: transatlantic liners of Italy



Recently my cousin Tony was telling me about his first trip to Italy when he was a very little boy; they sailed from New York directly to Naples. This was in the early 1960s when the last of the transatlantic liners were still running, and his family took the Cristoforo Colombo, a ship of the Italian Line. Read more about the line here:

It's a very interesting site about a part of travel history that is all but gone.
