Presented by Don Leavitt
March 27 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
It has been 25 years of deck plans and ship china, interior brochures and agency posters, liner furniture and fixtures. Don Leavitt purchased Nautiques in 2001 and took it online. Looking back over a quarter of a century, Don will share his experiences in buying and selling millions of dollars’ worth of ocean liner memorabilia. Which items and ships are hot these days and which are not? What to collect for the future? Tune in to find out.
After careers in journalism and innkeeping, in 2001 Don Leavitt bought Nautiques and switched it from catalog to online sales. He lives in Baltimore and summers in New Hampshire with husband Todd, two golden retrievers, and a 17-year-old cat who still rules the roost. Don is a World Ship Society member and a past president of the Steamship Historical Society of America. (Images: Don Leavitt)
