Sailing & Soaring: Ocean Liners & Skyscrapers Video Event
About the Program:
Sign up today to join Mr. Ocean Liner himself, Bill Miller, author of over 100 books about the great ocean liners, who takes us on a grand tour exploring fascinating connections between celebrated liners and skyscrapers. Some highlights will include:
- The Singer Building & the Mauretania
- The Woolworth Building & the Titanic
- The Chrysler Building & the Ile de France
- The Empire State Building & the Normandie
- The World Trade Center & the QE2
. . . to name but a few.
In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––Miller highlights connections between these feats of engineering in terms of design, endeavor, and creative genius. It’s no coincidence that the rapid progress of the past hundred years has been marked by the increasing triumphs of both ocean liners and skyscrapers.
Adding to the occasion, we salute the 2021 90th birthday of the Empire State Building!
This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.
