Thomassen conjectured that every $4$ -connected line graph is hamiltonian. A vertex cut $X$ of $G$ is essential if $G-X$ has at least two nontrivial components. We prove that every $3$ -connected, essentially $11$ -connected line graph is hamiltonian. Using Ryjáček's line graph closure, it follows that every $3$ -connected, essentially $11$ -connected claw-free graph is hamiltonian.
