SS United States is such a beauty!!!! I love all the footage you used, really showed just how beautiful and fast she was, and at :43 when the transtition from how she was to how she is now just about brought tears to my eyes. :)
Hats off to you!!! Nice job!!!!! SAVE THE BIG U!!!! ;D
i hate that the air lines killed the ss united states and all other ocean liner and the ss united states no longer holds the speed recurd fairy boats from australia hold the speed recurd sad this country had the fastes ship in the world but they took out her engines,props, and every thing from her brig if i had the mony i would buy her and restor her with modern military props and equitment so she can be the fastes and safest ship in the world again! and reopen uslines and makeanti airline vids
@j241865 Sorry to disillusion you but it was not the airlines that killed the United States, it was the ignorant over unionised crew that brought about her end. And, because they were too stupid to see it, they destroyed their own jobs as well.
btw... spread the word to other vids of course on the comments. the coverage on this hasnt been to good, hardly anyone seems to know about it. just google SS UNITED STATES SAVED
hey in mid 2010 Gerry Lenfest donated over $5 million to saving the ship and the US conservation saved it by buying it right out from under numerous scrapyard offers. they now have plans to build on this purchase possibly making it a waterfront museum / restaurants / retail / hotel rather than putting it to see which would cost a LOT more money. who knows but at least shes safe now, thats some breathing room. maybe someday someone can afford to put her to sea again. THANK YOU MR. LENFEST
It would be a damn shame to let her go to waste, I would be GLAD to pay 3 or 4k to take a cruise, no imagine, if there were others like me, how long would it take for an investment house to make its money back? Too bad China owns it with NCL.
overly patriotic and simple minded are quite often two sides of the same medal...;-)
Anyway - I wished the ship could be saved and restored as a museum or whatever properly - but indeed I fear it is too late. Would be happy if I was wrong in this point.
In the last 7 months this country has spent trillions and a lot of it has gone to pork projects. This Congress could allocate the money to restore this grand ship to at the very least a floating 5 star hotel if not returning her to sea.
Awesome video!!!!:D

In the 21st Century American Pride has shrunk to the domestic sports arena.
This ship is indicative of that.

In all reality, that ship is going down.

Our lawmakers won't do anything unless there's a way to skim a lot of money off the top for themselves. That's just the way it is now.

I've seen that ship in Philly. Man, what a pitiful sight. At least she didn't sink like she did in a Clive Cussler novel.
