Renowned maritime historian John Maxtone-Graham visited us at our Philadelphia Chapter meeting on November 10. Maxtone-Graham is the author of several books on ocean liners, including "The Only Way to Cross", considered one of the best accounts of shipboard life during the golden age of transatlantic travel. He is currently working on a new book about the SS United States, and endorsed the Conservancy's efforts, saying "I hope this ship will be restored as expeditiously and as perfectly as Susan [Gibbs] and the Conservancy are now planning."For a video of Maxtone-Graham's visit, see our YouTube Channel.
