Went out from uk to Fueteventura see it in 2009. Drove down the gravel track, buckled a wheel but saw the wreck. Well the small bit pking out of the water.
Maybe you have to have skippered or sailed on a vessel to feel the heartbreak of seeing your ship reduced to a hulk.
It killed me to see our sailboat a mere shadow of it's former self several years after we'd sold her when we returned from cruising for three years. I'm glad my wife never saw her like that.
It would have been far better...more fitting... if our vessel had gone down at sea...within sight of land and us safely in our dinghy.
Very sad. The first model I ever built as a child was of the S.S. America. I remember Dad driving us up the west side highway (it was elevated then) and America was in the dock, just beautiful. Does she still hold the record for the fastest Atlantic crossing?
American Star sinks in Canary Islands, the last "european" land before America was discovered, the end of an Era........ the American Star sinks and its swallow by the earth..... Beautifull poetry.
Way to go Max (Stein) Stone,if you can't find an invester,you sink it,and collect the insurance money. So Maxy bubbala,how do you have jewish lighting on a ship?
In 79 we sailed on the Australis from Auckland to Portsmouth I was 7 at the time. I was left in a Miami toy shop by my sister Meriel and almost missed it leaving. Scary stuff had to get back on board through a side cargo Door as the gangway was already up. Kid were asking for dimes and my mother kept telling them the time. may have been deliberate being Scottish n all.
The ships were owned by an American company, United States Lines. They were US Flagged and were home ported in New York. The United States was newer and larger than the America. The America was sold, once it was sold it was no longer a US registered ship. The United States is rotting away in Philly, because we don't care about our own history.
soo let me get this straight instead of reusing all of that metal and material from the boat. they just left it to rot and pollute are oceans more? and now you know why people think americans are stupid (let the flaming BEGIN)
I think that´s the AMERICAN STAR.The pictures are from the west coast Fuerteventura Canary Islands.Last time i was there she was nearly complete destroyed by the sea.
The SS United States needs to be transferred to the US Government so they can restore the liner and make it powerful so it could be added as the New Presidential Ocean Liner that is the only way the SS United States could be saved from the scrapyard.
@Moreda64 its not like americans want that to happen. and an average american can't just fly up to italy and clean up the oil with expensive machinery that most people can't afford. yes, some idiotic americans left that ship to rot but hate them, not the rest of us
@1MGSgtRock just proving a point to people who think that every one of us americans are fat and destructive people. And if you know so much about this ship, why would you waste your time watching this video that educates people on the ships story?
@lamoboy Its a kind of sentimental thing to bury it at sea, if you serve with a rifle or on a ship for long enough they become your friends. sort of like burying a human, but with a ship
@AmericansAnnoyMe No, F8cking Canada! Us canadians i admit, are addicted to junk food, and mcdonalds! (don't tell other countries) America may attack us for that XD JK
Almost as sad as the indictment to the 'money-men' in this world who allow suc things to happen simply because they can't make a buck or two out of it.
Sad indeed. One wonders why they do not use these old ships as accommodation for the needy. I realize that this ship was lost to the sea, but there are many old liners waiting in harbors to be dismantled that could be ideal housing solutions. Just a thought. Great video of a once grand old girl.
@LUCAT01 She never really sank. She got stranded near a beach at Fuerteventura (Canary Islands) in 1994. And there she stood until the summer of 2011 (or was it 2010?), when the final parts of the hull collapsed and went back into the sea.
At first, as you can see, she was relatively intact. But all those years... saline water, weather and wind... I think you know what that does to anything eventually. After some years, the stern flushed away into the sea, with only the stern left
At least it didn't end up at the breaking yards at Alang, India, like some of her compatriots did. It's a more noble end to a ship like that than having it scrapped like some oil tanker.
its not sad, she had a long life sailing the world, even sailing in the us navy, these old cruise liners are out phased nowadays by more modern ships, the sea is a better grave, than rusting away at a dock
The German BND is the renamed 3rd Reich GESTAPO.The BND had organized the delegate Scheuermann of our county to visit or home.To allow him to personally experience how my brother and our patents had been tortured.The BND continued to torture my brother.He was assassinated on July 11th2009.Half a year after the assassination of my brother the CDU delegate Mappus from our district town Pforzheim was made prime minister of the German land of Baden Würtemberg
Wow. That is a sad end for a fine ship. It's so sad when a ship breaks mooring and grounds. Once her back broke, there's little hope. Few ships survive such a fate.
How did the SS American sink? It's in 2 pieces so just wondering what caused it to break? And did anyone die? And why was it just left there. Very grateful for answers.
@Tyranid90 was washed up on a beach in the canary islands the engines were already removed some time before weakest point which was near the engine room.
She was docked in Philadelphia, not too long ago. She's huge and beautiful, but badly rusting, unfortunately. It takes enormous amounts of money to up-keep those ships.
just visited the site related to this ship which had a great history which makes the end ot it even more disappointing... The same old song of money winning out everything and everyone.
@65emkay The ship was built to make money in the first place. The ship had reached the end of its useful life as a liner and was going to be transitioned into a luxury floating hotel, but the tow was unsuccessful and within 2 days of grounding had broken in half. Ships don't live forever. At least this one died at sea with some dignity instead being cut into razor blades.
If "money" is such a problem for you, why don't you pony up a couple mil. of your own cash to preserve her stablemate??
It makes me sad they leave ships there to rest there doing the same to her sister ship United States! Thank god the SS United States is still there i hope it will come back! Thumbs up?
@zootycooner1 sorry, the SS united states is RIP (Rusted In Pieces) the salt water had eroded her and as years passed by, her port side broke down and funnel and all came down the sea. Only 20 feet of her remain on surface. Source: wikipedia, search SS america 1940
...Her body came from the dust of Mother Earth. Her heart, from the hands, sweat & blood of men. She was...er, responsible for enabling many women to become "mothers" from all the frolicking & L'Amour enjoyed from within Her berths(kinda makes Her a mom, too!). She lived her life. And lived full! Yet, as all living things & things made by the living... She died. Returned...back into that very same blessed 'dust' from whence once She first came. Dear Lady, your children & their children live on!
I so agree with you! She lived her life on the sea and died there as well. It was sad though, because in a way she was ours, an American ship but lived in Australia after a time. She had that pretty blue paint job but after awhile it seemed no one had interest in buying her. I notice too in some frames she has only one smokestack, probably an upgraded diesel engine was put in. Technology though keeps her alive in many hearts and memories are shared even easier now.
@Showgirl7able Reading that part about never being bought gives me that same kind of feeling you'd get at seeing an animal in the shelter that doesn't get adopted. That analogy also works with what the other commenter have been saying: better that it be released into the wild to die where it had been the most alive, than to be lead into cold room to be euthanized.
I just wish I could have known what it was like to voyage on her.
@dattomcat89 I wonder that too, what it would be like in those days to be on one of those ships. Must have been something! I am going to search for photos to see what she looked like inside. Surely some exist somewhere! :)
Thats amazing how the sea reclaims the whole ship without a trace right there on that shore. I also noticed over the years they removed the 2nd stack.
I crossed on her in the North Atlantic in January of 1957 as a little boy. Some of the greatest memories of my family time. We were first class when Dad was a young Captain in the USAF.
It got bought at some point and was renamed Australis. It was originally named SS America, and by the time it was lost, it was called the SS American Star
I don't think it was so sad. I think it would be sad if she finished in a srcapeyard, as that was the inttention before she finished in Fuerteventura. A nice ship like this with all her history needs a tribute. Now you can go to Fuerteventura and in plenty of places you can find objets from her. May be it would be nicer she was a museum o sank to be visited scubba diving, but she finished in beach and thats the end of her life.
@mattymanten Rock music is better than the shit you listen to. Real Aamericans listen to good music (rock). People who like pop and all the other shit, must be retarted, to not be turned away immediately.
@THASSLEHOFF Whoa when the hell did i say i like pop, ii absolutely despise it!!. I said i came from a rush video Rush=Rock!!!!!!!! You need to learn your facts before you go and start calling people retards,retard!
Its had so many rough times, I wish it would have never had to end this way and end like the RMS Gueen Mary (the first one). But the thing is, ALL PEOPLE ARE DOING IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BLOODY MUSIC! This is the moment of the SS America so just watch and comment things about the ship.
Her story was bright and happy from her birth 1940 to 1978 when a shitty Greek shipping company Venture Cruises turned this fantastic ship into a total mess. And that started her sad story until her ultimate fate being wrecked at Fuerteventura in 1994.
Sad end? Come on. America died a worthy death. America wasn't scrap which is good fo me. America being scrap would be sad, but not the way America died. RIP USS America
What a god dam shame!

I know nothing of Freewill. America was a fantastic ship. Her death was one of the best ways to go.

It got bought at some point and was renamed Australis. It was originally named SS America, and by the time it was lost, it was called the SS American Star

Could you change the music to something else, pleeeeaaassseee!

I don't think it was so sad. I think it would be sad if she finished in a srcapeyard, as that was the inttention before she finished in Fuerteventura. A nice ship like this with all her history needs a tribute. Now you can go to Fuerteventura and in plenty of places you can find objets from her. May be it would be nicer she was a museum o sank to be visited scubba diving, but she finished in beach and thats the end of her life.

@mattymanten Rock music is better than the shit you listen to. Real Aamericans listen to good music (rock). People who like pop and all the other shit, must be retarted, to not be turned away immediately.

Its had so many rough times, I wish it would have never had to end this way and end like the RMS Gueen Mary (the first one). But the thing is, ALL PEOPLE ARE DOING IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BLOODY MUSIC! This is the moment of the SS America so just watch and comment things about the ship.

Her story was bright and happy from her birth 1940 to 1978 when a shitty Greek shipping company Venture Cruises turned this fantastic ship into a total mess. And that started her sad story until her ultimate fate being wrecked at Fuerteventura in 1994.
