The Steamship Historical Society of America has expanded its library of maritime videos to include interviews with three immigrants who came to the U.S. by sea after WWII, including a German family aboard the SS UNITED STATES; Americans who relate their experiences sailing aboard student ships, such as the GROOTE BEER, a cheap way to get to Europe to further their education; and the wide range of leisure activities passengers engaged in during transatlantic crossings from the U.S. to Europe, and the even longer voyages from the U.S. to Japan; and England to Australia. Additional topics include a teenager’s first ocean liner crossing and the experience of sailing through a North Atlantic hurricane, plus much more.
