TONIGHT: GO IN DEPTH WITH THE CURATORS OF OUR "TRANSATLANTIC TRAILBLAZERS" DIGITAL EXHIBITION
At 6pm (eastern time) the Conservancy's Curatorial Team Will Highlight the Trailblazing Women of the SS United Statesin a Special, Digital Program
All who walked her decks understood that the SS United States was far more than just the fastest passenger liner to ever cross the Atlantic. America's Flagship was also a global ambassador for her namesake nation.
As the prominent band leader Meyer Davis wrote in the ship's celebrated theme song, "She has beauty and dignity. The FIRST LADY of the SEA."
Tonight, we invite you to join us online as we explore the pioneering women who played prominent roles in the design, art, and engineering of America's Flagship. Mira Jedwabnik Van Doren, Hildreth Meière, Elaine Kaplan, and others each left their own unique mark on the historic ocean liner.
Hosted by the Conservancy's curatorial team, "First Ladies of the Sea" will provide an in depth look at the work that went into developing our "Transatlantic Trailblazers: The Women Behind the Art & Engineering of the SS United States" digital exhibition, and provide further insight and analysis in to the leading women who helped create this great symbol of our nation. There is no charge for this special program, although voluntary contributions are always appreciated to help support our curatorial programming.
