  1. Outstanding work, Mike! This is the work of a professional. This video could be used for teaching in a college class. I'm glad you mentioned Elaine Kaplan. Not only did she have to deal with the unwillingness of many businesses at that time to hire women, Mrs. Kaplan also had to deal with barriers because she was of the Jewish faith. Gibbs & Cox looked for the best in employees regardless of sex, religion or race.

  2.  @OceanlinerDesigns  Mike, you very likely know about this book already but just in case you don't: I'd like to highly recommend "A Man and His Ship---America's Greatest Naval Architect and His Quest to Build the S.S. United States" by Stephen Ujifusa, published by Simon and Schuster, 2012.
