TGOL - What's New?

Last update was on March 9^th 2009.

*March 9^th:*	Major change: due to problems with our domain registrar, we lost our old domain name which has served us since 2001. From now on, you will find us on our new URL: www.thegreatoceanliners.com. Please update your bookmarks accordingly! We apologise for the inconvenience.
*March 29^th:*	Another two years since our last update... Daniel has touched up his lists of the largest and longest passenger ships throughout history, to bring them up to date with the giant cruise ships of recent years. In accordance, we have also added two new profiles to our "evolution in size" chart, to give our readers a clear view of how large these new ships are compared to the ships of yesteryear.
*July 15^th:*	It has been almost three years (!) since the last update. My, how time flies. A lot has happened since we first started this website back in 1999. Since then, our interest in ocean liners has - quite frankly - diminished to a considerable degree, and we simply do not have the passion required to publish new articles all the time. That said, we do not rule out the possibility of a few upgrades now and then... This update, however, is a general overhaul of the site. A lot of broken links have been removed or fixed, and a few cosmetic updates have been done as well. The most important updates, though, concerns ships which has seen some changes in the past few years. Our articles have been brough up-to-date, quite simply, and the ones in question are QE2, Kungsholm, France/Norway, Empress of Canada, Oriana, Statendam, Southern Cross, United States and the Stockholm.
*September 26^th:*	As many of our regular visitors may have noticed, The Great Ocean Liners has been offline since early June. This is due to some extensive problems that we have been having in terms of web hosting. The new host which we moved to in late May quickly turned out to be a very poorly-run and unreliable company. Although offering "free traffic", they quickly showed that they could not handle the amount of traffic generated by TGOL, and therefore they quite simply decided to shut down our account. Without going into details, we can say that the the last months have been spent fighting the issue, but now we have finally found a new host. Leaving this debacle behind us once and for all, let us all hope for smooth seas for TGOL in the future!
*September 30^th:*	This update is unfortunately no new article, but the announcement of a new award winner. A Dutch website is our 15^th winner, and can as usual be found in our Award Hall of Fame.
*April 26^th:*	At long last, we have finally added a new ship to TGOL! Henrik has written a detailed article about the Dutch liner Statendam from 1957. She is still around today, laid up in Greece under the name Regent Star.
*February 21^st:*	No new articles yet, but much has happened on the awards front. TGOL has won another award to add to our collection, which can be viewed here. In addition, we are proud to present the 14^th winner of The Ocean Liner Resource Award.
*January 25^th:*	Henrik has completely re-written his article about the German liner *Vaterland* from 1914. The new article is more extensive, more detailed and contains more pictures than the old version.
