In this episode of our program SHIPS (Ships, History, Influence, and Power Series), you will hear from interviewees Alan Zamchick, Ted Scull, and Charles Zuckerman about the ways they kept busy while at sea. Alan details what it was like as a child exploring the ship and having newfound freedom with his brother. Ted discusses two voyages and the infamous "Crossing the Line" ceremony. Charles talks about playing trivia, which many might not think of when discussing deck games and leisure at sea.
