William Francis Gibbs, the driven visionary who designed the SS United States, and Walt Disney, the legendary artist, animator, and entrepreneur, shared a similar passion, ambition, and drive. These attributes guided each man's journey to the pinnacle of their respective industries.
SS United States Conservancy Florida Chapter Chair Conor Finnegan has developed an enthralling program that chronicles and compares the lives, achievements, and dreams of these two American icons.
Earlier this year, Conor delivered his presentation aboard the Conservancy's Legacy Cruise. Now we're excited to offer this insightful and engaging presentation as a FREE virtual event for all our supporters.
On Sunday, December 4 at 5:00 pm ET, the Conservancy will host "William and Walt: Dreamers and Doers." The virtual presentation will feature Conor's presentation, and include a conversation between Conor and Conservancy President Susan Gibbs, the granddaughter of the ship's designer.
