Salvador Dali Aboard The S.S. Normandie In New York City
Salvador Dali was an artist who did not seem to perfectly fit any place or era. Despite this, his surrealist paintings and experiments turned heads during the early 20th century! Among other things, he was inspired by his early New York City trips. When he first visited the Big Apple, he and his wife took the Champlain from Franc and had to stay in one of the lower decks close to the machine rooms. According to Patroness Caresse Crosby, he only said, “I am next to the engine, so that I’ll get there quicker.”

Men were forced to enlist in the fight against Germany and Japan during the Second World War. Women decided to take on jobs in utilities, transportation, and manufacturing to fill the void that they left in the job market! Almost 2 million women worked in plants and on assembly lines to make armaments and machine pieces for the war effort. The number of working women at the time jumped from 27 percent to 37 percent! These women were just as valuable to the war effort as the men were.
