 Atomic - powered N.S. Savannah, merchant ship!

Excellent read.....wiki

This is such an awesome site in regards to N.S. Savannah see the virtual tour I liked it.

Another great site: as soon as I read "orange-colored neutron shield" I was hooked.

From 1965 WORLD BOOK:

NICE 1934 Futurism here

 

20 YEARS BEFORE "Forbidden Planet" 

came GELD (1934) which shows some fantastic set design.
Video here is from MAGNETIC MONSTER (1953) 

Blu-ray which actually incorporates recently unseen footage from GELD with excellent clarity.

With a trained eye you can see which scenes are
from 1934 GELD and which are MAGNETIC MONSTER.

1924 Sci-fi movie

 

The Fugitive Futurist (1924) IMDB

1939 World's Fair Futurama designed by Norman Bel Geddes

 

Spellchecker red-lines "futurama"......spellchecker = lame.

Inframan 1975

LOOK at his SHOES!

 

Another milestone....

 omg...how could anyone screw this up so badly?
