SAVE the SS United States

[dkutz]

The SS United States happens to be the ship my step mother came to this country on.  Also one of the few remaining Luxery Liners of the era still around.

For those of you that don't know it.  The American-built SS UNITED STATES shattered all trans-Atlantic speed records on her maiden voyage in 1952 and remains the fastest passenger liner ever built.  She was listed on the National Register of Historic Places before attaining 50 years of age because of her "compelling national significance."

 The SS UNITED STATES must be saved for future generations.  We believe that a project to restore and revitalize the SS UNITED STATES could create thousands of jobs and help stimulate the economy in these challenging times as well as preserve one of the world's finest engineering achievements.
