Explore southwest Virginia’s local links to maritime history.
Until the growing popularity of air travel post-World War II, Americans going abroad traveled by ship. Though Southwest Virginia is not a coastal region, its residents traveled far and wide. Some were involved in the most infamous shipwrecks of the age of steamships, many of whom lost their lives. The foundering of the legendary
Titanic
on her maiden voyage, the horrific fire aboard
Morro Castle
and the smoke-engulfed decks of U.S.S.
Arizona
at Pearl Harbor were all witnessed by Southwest Virginians.
Local author Brandon Whited grants them their long-overdue place in the history books.
