SUMMARY:GRACE LINE PASSENGER-FREIGHTERS IN THE 1950sPresented by George Gillow
DESCRIPTION:Growing up in an American mining town in northern Chile was quite an adventure. One of the most exciting times for our speaker\, George Gillow\, was traveling to the U.S. on Grace Line passenger-freighters thanks to the Anaconda Mining Company who sent their employees’ families to the U.S. for vacations every three years. This presentation is about what it was like traveling on these passenger-freighters. It was very different than traveling on modern cruise ships. \nGeorge Gillow completed a 39-year career as an Electronic Engineer and Technical Manager. He spent the next 20 years working on maritime systems such as GPS\, ship handling simulators and vessel traffic services. In the 1980’s\, George played a key role in getting the first cruise ship\, SS AZURE SEAS\, to visit and establish regular cruise ship service to San Diego\, CA. He also supported the establishment of the Port of San Diego Cruise Ship Consortium. \n(Image: George Gillow collection) \n
