SHIPS OF SPLENDOR: 100 YEARS OF OCEAN LINERS
Presented by Bill Miller
April 28, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
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.
