Queen Elizabeth 2: Ship Of Legend with Bill Miller
2021-12-02 18:00 | The National Lighthouse Museum, 200 The Promenade at Lighthouse Point, Staten Island, NY, 10301, United States
Lecture, in person and Zoom
When the original Queen Mary & Queen Elizabeth were retired in the late Sixties, it was largely believed crossing the Atlantic by ocean liner was over. The airlines had taken as much as 98% of all passengers. But Britain’s Cunard Line felt differently and built one last Atlantic super liner. Thus, came the ship which became the most successful liner of all time, the Queen Elizabeth 2. Fondly known as the QE2, she went on to sail for 39 years, steamed more miles, visited more ports and carried more passengers than any other liner of her kind. Now residing as a hotel & museum out in Dubai, Bill Miller will review the ship’s long and colorful history.
Bill Miller, known as Mr. Ocean Liner, has written over 100 books on passenger ships. He is also a popular guest speaker on modern-day cruise ships, having made hundreds of voyages and visited ports from Alaska to Antarctica. He has also hosted ocean liner events at Lincoln Center, been a curator at South Street Seaport, appeared in numerous television programs, and been the recipient of numerous awards. His life has been the subject of a TV documentary aptly titled Mr Ocean Liner and available on Amazon Prime.

The Loneliest Whale: The Search for 52 - Movie Screening and Discussion with Director Josh Zeman
2021-10-29 18:00 | The National Lighthouse Museum, 200 The Promenade at Lighthouse Point, Staten Island, NY, 10301, United States
This is a in person event
In 1989 the U.S. Navy detected a mysterious signal in the Pacific Ocean. The unidentifiable sound, picked up by a top secret, Cold War-era surveillance system designed to track enemy submarines, vibrated through the depths at an enigmatic 52 hertz. The noise was definitely not a submarine.
After months of study, Dr. William Watkins of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts concluded this strange subaquatic rumble belonged to a whale calling out in a distinctive frequency, nothing like other whales who moved in similar migratory patterns. A whale’s call is social, but no response was ever recorded. Watkins surmised that this singular creature, nicknamed “52,” was solitary and unique, possibly the first or last of his kind, a whale unable to find a mate or bond with others of his species.
Watkins tracked 52’s song for the next 12 years, and in 2004 the whale was profiled in The New York Times. Readers around the world were spellbound by 52’s plight. Some sociologists theorized that our fascination with his story came from a growing feeling of loneliness overrunning our techno-centric society.
The Loneliest Whale: The Search for 52 examines the Cold War science of submarine warfare that led to the discovery of 52, the centuries of brutal whale hunting that brought many species to the brink of extinction, the discovery of haunting and complex whale songs that prompted a worldwide effort to save them, the growing scourge of ocean noise that disrupts the lives of whales today, and whether society’s dependence on technology is actually isolating humans from one another.
If 52 is still out there, can he be found? Is it possible to launch a search for one whale in the vastness of the world’s oceans? In the journey and the potential discovery of 52, the filmmakers take us on an exhilarating adventure toward understanding this unique creature and its link to humanity.
