Peter speaks to the various local chapters and national meetings of The
Steamship Historical Society of America, the Ocean Liner Society and the World Ship Society. He was born in Los Angeles,
CA in 1960. Peter's interest in passenger ships started in 1973 when he was assigned to research the LUSITANIA for an American
History course. In early 1974, he began visiting and photographing nearly every vessel that came to Los Angeles, beginning
with P&O's SS ARCADIA, and continues to do so to this day. While he was at UCLA, Peter took his first "serious" cruises,
beginning in 1980 with American Hawaii's newly-rechristened SS OCEANIC INDEPENDENCE. Every year thereafter, he made it a point
to sail in an elderly passenger ship until the early 1990s, when he furthered his mission to seek out and document every "forgotten"
liner left in the world.
