The Journey of a Lifetime - The Holland America Line and Transatlantic Migration
Turn-of-the-century mass migration, through the eyes of an ill-fated ocean liner director
As the son of an ocean liner company founder, George Reuchlin’s path in life was clear-cut. The twenty-one years between his first voyage to the United States at the age of sixteen and his last aboard the Titanic, would see the world of Transatlantic travel flourish like never before. In 'The Journey of a Lifetime', Cathalijne Boland brings to life Reuchlin’s personal story in a time of mass migration, technological innovation and dramatic shipwrecks.
