By 1913, the expansion in size and splendour occasioned the adoption of the term 'super-liner', a definition based on precise and unambiguous criteria. Only 13 ships were entitled to be singled out for this exclusive accolade: the Imperator trip; Bremen *and *Europa; Rex; Normandie; Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth; United States; France; QE2 *and *QM2. This is their story.
