ORAL HISTORIES AND TESTIMONIALS

The Conservancy has connected with hundreds of former officers and crew members, builders, designers, passengers, maritime historians, and ship enthusiasts to help preserve and protect the legacy of the Big U. These moving stories collected over the last decade preserve the first- hand accounts of the thrill of serving and sailing on board America’s Flagship.

The Conservancy continues to expand its oral and video documentation. These will then be curated for incorporation into interactive exhibitions aboard the redeveloped ship and provide visitors a bridge to the events, culture, and people of the days of transatlantic travel. Below are some of our most recent recordings.
