Join the South Street Seaport Museum and the New York Ship Lore and Model Club for an evening celebrating the history and restoration of the monumental 22-foot-long builder model of RMS Queen Mary, now on display in the Museum’s new three-floor exhibition Maritime City. Martina Caruso, Director of Collections and Exhibitions at the Seaport Museum, will begin the evening with a multimedia presentation giving a brief history of this impressive artifact, as well as the sumptuousness that came to light during its restoration process—from the shine of its propellers, to the detail of its mother of pearl windows and the fittings of the upper decks. Through never-before-shared videos and a captivating mix of historical, archival, and modern photographs, you’ll discover how this 1935 ship model was packed and transported from a temporary loan on board the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, to its new specially designed display case within the newly renovated A.A. Thomson & Co. building.
