We went on a tour of the NS Savannah, the first civilian nuclear-powered merchant ship, it sailed from early 60s to mid 70s. While so much of the ship reminded me of TOS (the mid-century look but also stuff like the ‘grates’ in the staterooms), our tour guide pointed out these tables and said Gene Roddenberry had been on the ship at some point prior to TOS. Just thought it was interesting!
