MARITIME ROYALTY: BRITAIN’S QUEENS OF THE ATLANTIC ***ENCORE PRESENTATION***
Presented by Bill Miller
May 11 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
They are the most famous ocean liners of all time — the original QUEEN MARY and QUEEN ELIZABETH. Luxury in peace, heroics in war. They were later followed by the QE2, then QUEEN MARY 2 and three more Queens: QUEEN VICTORIA, QUEEN ELIZABETH and the new QUEEN ANNE. At our March virtual membership meeting the PONY Branch once again welcomed Bill Miller, “Mr. Ocean Liner,” for a program reviewing the glorious history of these great Cunarders.
Bill Miller is considered an international authority on the subject of ocean liners and cruise ships and has written over 100 books on the subject. Bill, a world traveler with hundreds of sea voyages, is a much sought-after presenter and blogger. A career educator and founding member of the WSS-PONY Branch, Bill was named Outstanding American Maritime Scholar in 1994 and received the U.S. Maritime Preservation Award and the Ocean Liner Council’s Silver Riband Award in 2004. Additionally, he was the 2017 recipient of SSHSA’s Samuel Ward Stanton Award for Lifetime Achievement.
If you missed Bill’s presentation in March or would like to see it again, we encourage you to join us for this encore showing on Saturday, May 11th.
