SHIPS OF THE CENTURY

 One thing that always generates a heated debate is picking the best or first "something."

Fortunately, in selecting the "Ships of the Century," we were guided by the wisdom of you, our readers. Many of you cast your votes (along with some very impassioned and thoughtful pleas) via e-mail.

We also turned to our own archives, which stretch back more than 100 years. Many of the photos and accounts of the ships are from MARINE LOG'S ancestors, including: International Marine Engineering, Marine Engineering and Shipping Review, Marine Engineering and Shipping Age, or Marine Engineering Log.
Special thanks also to knowledgeable folks such as Charles Barker of George G. Sharp, Inc., and Jack Gilbert of John W. Gilbert & Associates, Inc., and the volunteers of Project Liberty Ship (www.liberty-ship.com) for their insight.
