Halifax public invited to attend a presentation at the Maritime Museum of ‘Charles Dickens Voyage to America’
The works of Charles Dickens remain a great draw to this very day. His famous first trip to North America in 1843 attracted great interest and not the least of which was Dickens account of his transatlantic crossing as a passenger aboard the Cunard paddle steamship RMS Britannia. January, the month inexplicably chosen by Dickens to cross was deemed an appropriate time for a presentation on that subject by the author to a large appreciative crowd gathered at Halifax’s Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
The Charles Dickens talk was the subject of an interview with CSS Chairman at a Halifax television station
