Cobwebs - Ocean Liner Memorabilia

We are a world leader in the shipping memorabilia market and have been trading for over 35 years. We specialise in all forms of ocean liner antiques.

Cobwebs is the main port of call for all those who have a passion for ocean liner memorabilia. We have a wide customer base including shipping companies, museums, film and television companies, interior designers and individual collectors around the world.

For over a quarter of a century we have provided our customers with gems from our maritime heritage. Situated on the south coast of England, Southampton is the premier port in the United Kingdom. The port’s history stretches back to Roman times, but Southampton is perhaps most famous as the home of the Great Liners.

Cobwebs buys and sells ocean liner memorabilia dating from 1830s to the present day. Our extensive stock consists of over 6000 items of ocean liner memorabilia from Titanic and White Star Line, Cunard, Royal Mail, Orient, Union Castle, P & O and most other shipping companies. We specialise in Titanic items from original to modern commemorative pieces.

Cobwebs is owned and managed by maritime historian Peter Boyd-Smith. Both Peter, and Cobwebs, have made regular appearances on a variety of TV programmes. These include: Flog It! Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, Antiques Road Trip and Celebrity Antiques Road Trip. Peter has also acted as special adviser for a range of documentaries and films, including James Cameron's Titanic. Peter is also a guest lecturer for a number of cruise lines.
