a sad state of this SS

[Norm reynolds]

about 8 miles from me lays the SS Unite States steam ship
as of today it STILL hold’s the title as the Fastest ship in the world.
She would average about 50 mph. In about 1960 they were out on the coast of Virginia
And they opened her up and with the right wind conditions she at one point hit 89 mph.
Now that is what we call the hot rods of big ships
It is sad to see her just sit here and rust away. To me it like the statue of liberty.
A piece of our history. I pass her add lest three time’s a week. People restore cars
War birds but no body seam’s interested in keeping her alive. I know it will that a ton of money. Just hope that some day she will be restored
Here is a neat video in the end of it shows it sitting at a dock in Philly
