Billy Eckstine drove his fans wild. Nicknamed Mr. B, the dashing singer had a voice that was described as a “suave bass-baritone” and a stage presence that, for a time at least, rivaled Frank Sinatra’s.

The world’s first cruise ship, the Prinzessin Victoria Luise, opened for business—but mostly for pleasure—in 1901.

At the time, these were luxury amenities even more impressive than the ship’s marine golf deck...

Tycoons love to survey their empires. And in the 1870s, that empire was San Francisco.
