Remember When With Harvey Deegan Podcast

Chris Frame - Cruise History The Evolution of the Passenger Ship book is the new book.    The book is our 17th and a long term project that was inspired by a popular lecture I present on the cruise ships and at maritime museums.    1/ the origins of the passenger ship has ancient historical connections   2/ sail ruled the waves for centuries and it was abysmal for travelers.    3/ steam brought great promise in the 1830s   4/ Regular steam services changes everything - reliability, safety etc.    5/ shipping learns from maritime disasters. Eg: titanic, Lusitania.    6/ jet age and containers kills passenger ships as they were - but cruising takes things to a new era!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
