Hi, I’m William, the Dapper Historian! I am an independent historian and writer. My research has focused on the history of travel and ocean liners in the early 20th century. I’ve presented at conferences in the United Kingdom, Argentina, Australia, and across the United States. I was the historian and public programs manager at the South Street Seaport Museum from 2016-2018. I also worked at the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, 2018-2021, as a program coordinator on their Hamilton Education Program and as the host of the highly successful digital book talk program Book Breaks. I studied history at University College London and international relations at King's College London.
