Brian has been fascinated by ocean liners since the age of four when he saw a pencil sketch of the sinking of the Titanic.  That initial spark grew into a rewarding avocation that has spanned decades of research not only into the lives of ships themselves, but also their impact on the world around them.

With a personal library of over two hundred ocean liner books and a vast collection of deck plans, menus, photographs, and other ephemera, Brian’s lectures are thoroughly prepared and constantly reviewed for accuracy.

Brian loves sharing his knowledge and has been invited to speak at libraries and museums across the country.  He is ready to come visit you for an entertaining and educational event!
