Consider your first ride
on a 747 Jumbo jet. Really BIG, right? Well, compare the 747 and the SS UNITED
STATES hull in the images at right.
The SS UNITED STATES is
so big, you could hide 40 of the jumbo 747-400 cabin fuselages inside the
SS UNITED STATES. And that includes the cargo holds for each of the 747's! Forty
jumbo jets! That's the equivalent of 22,700 passengers, plus tons of cargo.
So
next time you're at 33,000 feet somewhere between
New York and London and you feel like stretching
your legs think of another more spacious liner
you could be enjoying...a real luxury liner
- America's first and last super liner - the
SS UNITED STATES.
