WORLD SHIP SOCIETY

At our April meeting, PONY Branch members and guests were treated to the observations of a noted collector of ocean liner memorabilia — Stephen Lash, Chairman Emeritus of the venerable auction house Christie’s. Stephen originated the idea for an international exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, where portions of the Lash collection remain on view documenting that today’s interest  in ocean liners goes beyond nostalgia and extends to art, architecture and social history.
