Join the Fort Washington Historical Society on Tuesday, November
15th, at 8:00 pm. Tom Rival will be on hand to present “Ocean Liner
Lore.”
There is not much as impressive as the sight of an Ocean liner with
its super structure and traditional funnels, the many years of the
epitome of man’s engineering genius as they became bigger and
faster. Hear about the golden age of sea travel.
Viewed as technologial wonders, an example is Cunard’s Britannia of
1830, which was 228 feet long. Her about how they operated for the
comforts of the passengers and some of the disasters such as the
Lusitanaia, Normandie and Titanic.
This presentation is free and open to the public. The Historical
Society of Fort Washington is headquartered at The Clifton House, 473
Bethlehem Pike in Fort Washington. Refreshments will be served
following the program. For additional information call 215-646-6065.
