FRED & GINGER AT SEA: ART DECO OCEAN LINERS
Presented by Bill Miller
March 26, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
It was a glamorous age, a progressive age and a busy age. New ocean liners were continuously created for routes around the world: North Atlantic, South America, Africa, even to far-off colonies. It was also the age of glamour, of Art Deco on the high seas. Some called it “Hollywood gone to sea”! And it was also the era of some of the biggest, fastest and most luxurious liners – such as the REX, NORMANDIE and QUEEN MARY.
Bill Miller, “Mr. Ocean Liner,” has written numerous maritime books, including one about passenger ships of the Thirties. At our March membership meeting, Bill will take us on a voyage, a virtual visual voyage spanning the decade from 1930 to 1940, featuring some of the world’s greatest and most distinctive and luxurious liners of all time.
