Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for Peter Knego's MidShipCinema.
Be on deck 15 minutes before arrival and after departure for a dramatic view of a vanishing historic ship when river cruising to Ghent.
Sit on the right side of the train for the best view of the SS United States.
Be careful as this is an active railway.
For the best ocean liner ephemera, visit niques.net.
Join the Steamship Historical Society of America at ssa.org
Don't hesitate to visit, but keep in mind the ship is closed on Mondays and aft deck access is only on weekends.
Allow extra time to sit in the cabin class lounge and take it all in.
Pack lightly and leave the fancy clothes at home.
