SHIPS - On Board the SS Groote Beer with Paul Klee

Watch the latest episode on ships as transport in SHIPS (Ships, History, Influence, and Power Series) from the Steamship Historical Society of America that features an oral history with Paul Klee. He discusses what it was like traveling via steamship to Europe at the age of 17 on board the student ship the SS Groote Beer. He details what the ship was like compared to the larger ocean liners and how exciting it was to travel alone as an adult for the first time among so many others students. This video features primary sources like photos and video from the SSHSA Archives, images from Paul Klee's personal collection and in the public domain.
