  • April, 2013 Volume Xxx, # 4
    APRIL, 2013 VOLUME XXX, # 4 Friday, April 26 - 6:00 PM At the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan A Man and His Ship: America's Greatest Naval Architect and His Quest to Build the SS United States Steven Ujifusa will give a book talk on A Man and His Ship, published by Simon & Schuster. It was recently named by The Wall Street Journal as one of the ten best nonfiction books of the year (2012). It’s the sweeping story of William Francis Gibbs’ quest to build the fastest, finest ocean liner in history—set against the politics, culture, and enterprise of twentieth century America. Taking readers back to a golden age, when America’s industrial might, innovative ambition, and maritime dynamism were unmatched, Steven Ujifusa’s groundbreaking debut sheds light on a forgotten genius and the sleek vision to which he gave birth. Forced to drop out of Harvard following his family’s sudden financial ruin, Gibbs overcame debilitating shyness and lack of formal training to become the visionary creator of some of the finest ships in history. Steven Ujifusa is an historian and a resident of Philadelphia who has written numerous articles on architecture and urban history. When he is not writing, he enjoys singing, photography, rowing on the Schuylkill River, and travel. A native of Chappaqua, New York, Steven received his undergraduate degree in history from Harvard University and a joint masters in historic preservation and real estate development from the University of Pennsylvania. He has appeared on National Public Radio and CBS Sunday Morning, and has given presentations at the National Museum of the US Navy, the Harvard Club of New York, Independence Seaport Museum, the Boston Athenaeum, and the Maryland Historical Society.

  • 4.3 Introduction and Background
    MS Silver Discoverer 4.3 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Silversea has undertaken this assessment to document and assess the planned activities of MS Silver Discoverer for the period of November 2018 when they plan two cruises to St. Brandon, as described in Section 2.1. In addition to also ensuring compliance with international and national laws and regulations, this assessment has been prepared to meet with general obligations under company‐specific guidelines and SOPs, and shipping requirements in general. 4.3.1 Company Description Silversea is a cruise company reflecting generations of maritime and travel experience. In the early 1990s, the Lefebvre family of Rome, former owners of Sitmar Cruises, conceived and organized a unique cruise company pledging to build and operate the highest quality ships in the ultra‐luxury segment. The name "Silversea" was chosen because it connotes quality and luxury as well as capturing the romance and special sensations of the sea. Silversea launched its first ship, MS Silver Cloud, in 1994, followed by MS Silver Wind in 1995, MS Silver Shadow in 2000 and MS Silver Whisper in 2001, MS Silver Spirit in 2009 and MS Silver Muse in 2017. MS Silver Moon will enter into service in 2020. The fleet was purpose‐built for the ultra‐luxury market, establishing a new class of smaller, intimate vessels that could slip into more exotic ports off the beaten path. These elite vessels were specifically designed for fewer guests, more space and the highest levels of personalized service, delivered by mainly Italian and other European officers overseeing an International staff.
