Course Syllabus March 18-April 22Nd 2020 Crossing: a History of the Transatlantic Passage Dr Course Syllabus March 18-April 22nd 2020 Crossing: A History of the Transatlantic Passage Dr. John J. Grabowski Before the advent of fast, reliable air transport, “the only way to cross” an ocean was by ship. This course will examine travel across the Atlantic Ocean to North America by ship from the seventeenth century to the present. It is a story of immigration, travel adventures, disaster, design, and of an industry that transformed the world. Shipping companies ranging from Cunard to the Hamburg American Line were powerful private enterprises, but also assets to, and symbols of the nations they represented. Much of what they achieved came with support from the state and in return their ships carried the mails and, in time of war, served in roles ranging from troop ships to auxiliary cruisers. But over time their primary role was getting people from one side of the ocean to the other -- and most who would make the journey did so as migrants rather than tourists or celebrity passengers. The “crossing” is an integral part of many family histories as much as it is a popular vision of luxury, privilege, and the “elegance” of a time gone by. This six-session course will cover the age of sailing ships, the rise of steam-powered ships and scheduled packet service, the importance of the immigrant trade, and the era of the great ocean liners ranging from the Mauritania to the Queen Mary and the Normandie, each of which epitomized an era of speed and style. Disaster will not be neglected, but tragedies such as the Titanic, Lusitania, and the SS Cap Arcona will be treated in the wider context of their times. We will also focus on the rise and the history of cruising, an industry that dominates the oceans of the world today, but one that arguably began with a group of Clevelanders joined Samuel Clemens aboard the Quaker City in 1867 for a tour of the Holy Land. Session 1: March 18th Why Do We Cross the Ocean? This session will provide a general overview of the course and then follow with a focus on the age of exploration and early settlement when the wind provided the only propulsion for an Atlantic crossing. It was an era when those who made the journey spent weeks and even months at sea, often enduring appalling conditions. It was a transit totally absent schedule and certainty. For some the voyage was a promise of riches or at least a new life, for others it was a voyage into servitude or slavery. Session 2: March 25th Technology and Order Take to the Waves, 1830-1865 Two major factors began to change the Atlantic crossing in the early decades of the 19th century – the rise of scheduled packet service offered by companies such as the Black Ball Line and the use of steam power for propulsion. It was a time when Isambard Kingdom Brunel literally reshaped what came to be called the ocean liner. Mail and cargo were still priorities, but 1 passenger service would rise to unexpected prominence in the years between 1830 and 1860. Much of what happened in terms of service was shaped by individuals such as Samuel Cunard and Edward Knight Collins. Charles Dickens and Jenny Lind would be among their “celebrity” passengers. Session 3: April 1st National Pride Rules the Waves and Immigrants Become Big Business 1865-1900 The extraordinary growth of trans-Atlantic immigration in the years after the American Civil War spurred an enormous expansion of transatlantic passenger traffic. New companies such as the Inman lines and White Star provided competition for Cunard. Third class “steerage” accommodation slowly began to change from “awful” to “acceptable.” More importantly during this period, the British domination of the Atlantic crossing was challenged by a newly united Germany. Within three decades North German Lloyd and Hamburg America would become dominant players on the trans-Atlantic sea lanes – much to the chagrin of the British. Session 4: April 8th Ocean Liners at War 1900-1920 The war at sea during World War I was presaged by an increasingly competitive war for passengers waged by the British and German shipping lines. The years between 1907 and 1914 saw the construction of some of the largest and fastest liners ever built – the Mauretania, Lusitania, Olympic, Titanic, Britannic, Imperator, Bismarck, and Vaterland. Their construction was supported by the state and they were symbols of national pride and assets for national defense. All of this occurred at the same time that American John Pierpont Morgan was working to monopolize trans-Atlantic shipping. Many of the great ships would be sunk or “interned” during the war. Overall, the toll in shipping tonnage sunk by enemy action was enormous – well beyond the tragedy of the Lusitania. Also lost to the war was Albert Ballin, the visionary who built Hamburg America into the largest shipping company in the world. His story will be central to this class session. Session 5: April 15th Booze Cruises and Magnificent Ships of State 1920 -1945 The immediate post-World War I era saw two major changes in the trans-Atlantic crossing. Germany was no longer a competitor as most of its passenger tonnage was distributed as reparations. More importantly, the restriction of immigration to the United States by the Quota Acts of 1921 and 1924 seriously diminished trans-Atlantic travel. Shipping companies responded by focusing more on cruising and promoting tourism to Europe. That worked until the Depression, but ironically it was during the Depression that the last great “ships of state” were launched – they included the Normandie, Rex, Conte Savoia, Bremen, Europa, Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth. Supported by government funding, they created jobs in the shipyards and boosted national pride. With the exception of the Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and the Europa (reincarnated as the Liberte’) most would not make it through World War II. 2 Session 6: April 22nd End of the Liners? 1945-2020 The fifteen years following the end of World War II were halcyon days for the trans-Atlantic crossing. Back in service, the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary were routinely filled to capacity and even the United States got into the act with the construction of the fasted ocean liner ever built, the SS United States, in 1952.. But the inauguration of trans-Atlantic jet air travel in 1958 signaled the beginning of the end of the liner. Even with decline, new liners were created, notably the Queen Elizabeth 2 and the France. But by the late ‘70s the only way to cross seemed to be by air. Although crossings declined, the cruise business flourished. Some would argue that this shift was driven by the television series The Love Boat, however cruising had been around much longer. We will close out the course by looking at the cruise industry with a particular focus on Carnival Corporation, which in 1998-’99 took ownership of a foundering Cunard Line and then oversaw the construction of what is the last true ocean liner to remain in service today, the Queen Mary 2, launched in 2004. RECOMMENDED READINGS There are hundreds of books relating to the trans-Atlantic crossing. Most focus on a particular ship or a tragedy (Lusitania and Titanic are popular topics). Many are directed toward so called “ship geeks” but are still of interest given the detail they provide through photographs and technical data about a particular ship or shipping line. The titles listed below are mainly of volumes that take a wider view of the trans-Atlantic trade. Brinnen, John Malcom. Beau Voyage: Life aboard the Last Great Ships. Marboro Books, 1988. Brinnen, John Malcom. Grand Lux: The Transatlantic Style. Henry Holt & Co. 1990 Brinnen, John Malcom. The Sway of the Grand Saloon: A Social History of the North Atlantic. Delacort Press, 1971. Butler, Daniel Allen. The Age of Cunard. ProStar Publications, 2004 Larsen, Erik. Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania. Broadway Books, 2016 (reprint edition). One of the best treatments of this tragedy. Maxtone-Graham, John. Liners to the Sun. Sheridan Books, 2000. This is a reprint of a 1985 title that begins to examine the history of cruising up to that time. Maxtone-Graham, John.

  • Being Lord Grantham: Aristocratic Brand Heritage and the Cunard Transatlantic Crossing
    Being Lord Grantham: Aristocratic Brand Heritage and the Cunard Transatlantic Crossing 1 Highclere Castle as Downton Abbey (Photo by Gill Griffin) By Bradford Hudson During the early 1920s, the Earl of Grantham traveled from England to the United States. The British aristocrat would appear as a character witness for his American brother-in-law, who was a defendant in a trial related to the notorious Teapot Dome political scandal. Naturally he chose to travel aboard a British ship operated by the oldest and most prestigious transatlantic steamship company, the Cunard Line. Befitting his privileged status, Lord Grantham was accompanied by a valet from the extensive staff employed at his manor house, who would attend to any personal needs such as handling baggage or assistance with dressing. Aboard the great vessel, which resembled a fine hotel more than a ship, passengers were assigned to accommodations and dining facilities in one of three different classes of service. Ostensibly the level of luxury was determined solely by price, but the class system also reflected a subtle degree of social status. Guests in the upper classes dressed formally for dinner, with men wearing white or black tie and women wearing ball gowns. Those who had served in the military or diplomatic service sometimes wore their medals or other decorations. Passengers enjoyed elaborate menu items such as chateaubriand and oysters Rockefeller, served in formal style by waiters in traditional livery. The décor throughout the vessel resembled a private club in London or an English country manor house, with ubiquitous references to the British monarchy and empire.

  • Shipping Companies-Cunard Line No17
    MARITIME ARCHIVES & LIBRARY INFORMATION SHEET 17 CUNARD LINE In 1838 the British government, impressed by the advantages of steam over sail for making regular passages, invited tenders to carry the transatlantic mails by steamer. The contract, which carried a subsidy, was won by Samuel Cunard, a prominent merchant and shipowner of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and an advocate of steam. With the help of Robert Napier, the Clyde shipbuilder, and his partners George Burns and David McIver, who already owned a coastal steamer business, he set up the British and North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. The service started with four wooden paddle steamers in 1840. In 1847 the service was increased to a weekly sailing in each direction. In 1852 the firm introduced screw-propelled ships on its Mediterranean service but, with its emphasis on reliability and safety, retained paddlers for its main service until the mid-1860s. By this decade iron hulls became standard too. It was also a period of reduced subsidies and increased competition from lines such as Inman, National and White Star. In 1878 it was reinvigorated as the Cunard Steam Ship Co., Ltd., and the fleet modernised. The 14,000 ton twin-screw liners, Campania and Lucania (1893) were milestones in terms of both size and speed. But by 1902 with the formation of the American combine, the International Mercantile Marine and German competition, it was under threat. In 1904 it took the bold step of building the steam turbine-powered 20,000 ton Carmania. Its success led to the building (with government assistance) of two 32,000 ton express liners, Mauretania and Lusitania (1907) which captured the Blue Riband.

  • The Rise of Samuel Cunard
    THE RISE OF SAMUEL CUNARD A. MACMECHAN HE Cunard family is of German origin. In 1683, Thones T Kunders emigrated from Crefeld to Philadelphia, where he was granted land by William Penn himself. His great-grandson, Abraham Cunard, came to Halifax from Philadelphia some time before 1785. He was a carpenter by trade, and obtained employ­ ment in the Dock Yard. His wife's name was Margaret Mutphy. She came with a band of Loyalists from South Carolina, to whom a large tract of land in Nova Scotia was granted in 1784. This town­ ship was called Rawdon, in honour of Lord Rawdon, the victor over Gates at Camden, and afterwards Governor-General of India. The settlers of Rawdon seem to have been soldiers who fought under the celebrated general. In a small house, which stood, until recent­ ly, behind 257 Brunswick Street, the Cunards' second child was born, November 21st, 1787, and named Samuel for his paternal grandfather. the property running down the steep hill to the harbour was for many years in the possession of the Cunard family; at the foot they built the wharf and warehouse long known by their name. His father's education was scanty, but Samuel went to school, and proved an apt scholar. He probably attended the Halifax Grammar School, of which Parson George Wright was head master. Wright was missionary to the Germans and rector of Saint George's Church on Brunswick Street, about a stone's thtow from the Cunard house. In this church Samuel Cunard's family pew is still pointed out.

  • The Ghost Ship on the Delaware
    The Ghost Ship on the Delaware By Steven Ujifusa For PlanPhilly Thousands pass by the Ghost Ship on the Delaware River every day. They speed past it on Columbus Boulevard, I-95, and the Walt Whitman Bridge. They glance at it while shopping at IKEA. For some, it is just another eyesore on Philadelphia’s desolate waterfront, no different from the moldering old cruisers and troop transports moored in the South Philadelphia Navy Yard. The Ghost Ship on the Delaware. www.ssunitedstatesconservancy.org Some may pull over to the side of the road and take a closer look through a barbed wire fence. They then realize that the Ghost Ship is of a different pedigree than an old troop transport. Its two finned funnels, painted in faded red, white and blue, are dramatically raked back. Its superstructure is low and streamlined, lacking the balconies and large picture windows that make today’s cruise ships look like floating condominiums. Its hull is yacht-like, defined by a thrusting prow and gracefully rounded stern. Looking across the river to Camden, one might see that the hull of the Ghost Ship bears more than a passing resemblance to the low-slung, sweeping one of the battleship U.S.S. New Jersey. This ship is imposing without being ponderous, sleek but still dignified. Even though her engines fell silent almost forty years ago, she still appears to be thrusting ahead at forty knots into the gray seas of the North Atlantic. Finally, if one takes the time to look at the bow of the Ghost Ship, it is clear that she has no ordinary name.
