Joint Meeting with the ASM Atlanta: Building the First “Steamship” in History with John Laurence Bus

Presentation for this meeting: Historian and author John Laurence Busch will attempt to re-calibrate your mind before showing why the proposition of making the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean on a ''steamship'' was met with a mixture of skepticism and fear. Then he will show how Captain Rogers addressed those fears, as well as the challenge of corrosion, by designing a new kind of steam vessel, capable of overcoming the dangers of the deep.

Dinner and two drinks will be provided at a cost of $40 for members or $50 for non-members. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Cortney at ccrane@exponent.com by May 1st, 2019.
