Chatham Marconi Welcomes Mr. Brian Dudley to its Speaker Series
Join us for a trip through the history of these magnificent ships from 1897 to the present (actually, 127 years of transatlantic travel!). We’ll explore the evolution of their design, architecture and impact on the travelling public. We’ll also see how world events shaped their development and vice versa. Relive the era when ocean liners were the “only way to cross”.
About Our SpeakerBrian Dudley has been interested in ocean liners since he was 4 years old and was captivated by seeing a picture of the RMS Titanic sinking. He was fortunate enough to sail on the SS France with his parents in 1968 and as an adult has made several transatlantic crossings on the Queen Elizabeth 2 and the Queen Mary 2. Research on the history, design, and life on board as well as collecting ocean liner memorabilia has been a constant and enjoyable pursuit.
