What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

I was so fortunate to have been in the press pool aboard the mighty Queen Mary 2

It was a wonderful salute, the likes of which many of us thought we would never see again

Even with a benign Godzilla on her stern, the Hikawa Maru looked magnificent from all angles.

We really couldn't have wished for a more perfect day.

The service was wonderful and overall we felt the fee was reasonable, especially compared with other lines.

The Watch-outs

one of my favorite ships was being nudged from her birth to begin an overseas toe to her death

I felt a profound sadness looking at her and hearing the howling wind and seeing what looked like a ship that once had so much hope actually giving up her ghost

she seemed as if she were giving up the ghost

She's sitting in Mobile being stripped of whatever was left on her that could be considered toxic so that they can sinker

it just never ends well for these beautiful ladies

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Peter Knego's MidShipCinema.

  1. Be on deck 15 minutes before arrival and after departure for a dramatic view of a vanishing historic ship when river cruising to Ghent.

  2. Sit on the right side of the train for the best view of the SS United States.

  3. Be careful as this is an active railway.

  4. For the best ocean liner ephemera, visit niques.net.

  5. Join the Steamship Historical Society of America at ssa.org

  6. Don't hesitate to visit, but keep in mind the ship is closed on Mondays and aft deck access is only on weekends.

  7. Allow extra time to sit in the cabin class lounge and take it all in.

  8. Pack lightly and leave the fancy clothes at home.
