Historic Ships Network is a global alliance of organizations, companies, and individuals joined together in order to keep living memories about ocean liners, transatlantic voyages, powerful shipping companies, and travelers — from the beginning to the end of long-distance ocean voyages.

Founded in 2007 by Tadija Miletić, the Network has grown from a personal passion into a worldwide institution comprising eminent historians, nautical scientists, archaeologists, and thousands of enthusiasts.

We do not merely catalog ships. We resurrect them. Through meticulous research, digital preservation, and community collaboration, we ensure the golden age of maritime history is never forgotten.
