Another First for Women



You'd think that at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, there wouldn't be many "firsts" left for women. I came upon this one today in an article in USA Today. This is Inger Klein Olsen who is the first female captain in Cunard's 170-year history. She will captain the 2,000+ passenger ship Queen Victoria.

She's not the first captain of a major cruise ship, but rather the third. The first, however, was in 2007 (according to the Cunard news release).

So hat's off to Captain Olsen! I'm not sure what they say at sea, but smooth sailing to her!
