The Passengers & Friends of The SS United States

Sailing on board the SS United States really can be equated to riding in a luxury sports car - except there was room for you and about 3,000 of your friends. Talk about going for a joy ride!

But there were many friends of the SS United States that never even sailed her. People living near New York or Southampton in England or Bremerhaven in Germany became friends with this visiting giant. Even beyond her service years she enchanted. Many people living or traveling near Hampton Roads became familiar with those big beautiful stacks in the distance. For some she became an appreciated landmark.

A landmark. Ironic isn't it - that something built for ocean going speed should be called a landmark. Of course, the SS United States is a national treasure, yes even a national monument. But why not a living, moving and ocean going national monument? Start thinking about it because the SS United States is still a great ship of dreams. Anything is possible.
