Description:
 Have you ever wondered what the difference is between an Ocean Liner and a Cruise Ship? Are you amazed at the size of modern ships today, that clock in at over 225,000 gross tonnes? Have you ever wondered how today's ships got so large? Do you want to know what sailing on the first ever Cruise Ship was like? Join maritime historian and author Chris Frame for a journey through the Evolution of the Passenger Ship and explore the changing shape of ships. The talk also looks at how ocean liners became cruise ships, and the impact of the Jet Aircraft on passenger shipping around the world.
