SHIPS OF SPLENDOR: 100 YEARS OF OCEAN LINERS ***ENCORE SHOWING***
Presented by Bill Miller
June 17, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Ocean liners – they were floating palaces, castles of the sea, ocean-going resorts. Noted maritime author and lecturer Bill Miller has recently written an all-color book about them titled Ships of Splendor. His featured passenger ships range from the likes of the MAURETANIA and MAJESTIC a century ago, in the 1920s, to the age of the SS UNITED STATES and QE2 in the 1950s and ’60s.
At our April membership meeting Bill presented something of a grand review, commenting on some of the more notable ships. In photos from the book, they “sailed by” in revived voyages. If you missed Bill’s presentation in April or would like to see it again, we encourage you to join us for this encore showing on Saturday, June 17, 2023.
