Utilizing images from Jewish archives and collections in Israel and America, Samuel Heed brings to light hundreds of rarely seen Exodus 1947 photographs for the first time.
Launched in 1928 in Wilmington, Delaware, the legendary Exodus 1947 was originally built as the flagship for the Baltimore Steam Packet Company--better known as the Chesapeake's Old Bay Line--and named President Warfield in honor of the company's recently deceased president. During World War II, the USS President Warfield would serve as a troopship for the British Army in England and see action as a headquarters ship for the US Navy at the Normandy beachhead. But the venerated cruise liner, with an all-American volunteer crew, would become world famous in the summer of 1947 as the Exodus 1947, an illegal immigrant ship for the Jewish underground that carried 4,500 refugee Holocaust survivors from Europe to Palestine. The heroism of the Exodus 1947's passengers and crew would astonish the world and give rise to the founding of the State of Israel in 1948.
Samuel W. Heed is an award-winning maritime historian, author, educator, exhibit designer, and documentary film producer, and he serves as the immediate past president of the Council of American Maritime Museums. His research as the longtime senior historian for the Kalmar Nyckel Foundation in Wilmington, Delaware, led to groundbreaking work about the Exodus 1947, which was built barely half a mile from his former office on the Christina River.
