The SS united states arrive prematurely one last time

On Wednesday, February 19, the SS United States, once the fastest ocean liner in the world, made a last trip that was embedded in South Philadelphia for almost 30 years on the Waterfront of DelaWare River.

Although this journey through tow would be perfect for the historic ship, as she arrived on Monday two days before the schedule for his destination in Mobile, Alabama, after a trip of around 1,800 miles.

“In the spirit of her record history, America's flagship closed her journey from Philadelphia to Mobil faster than expected. When she was moving through the waves for the first time in 28 years, countless spectators and admirers along the eastern coast of the country were inspired by her majesty and beauty, ”said Susan Gibbs, President of the SS United States Conservancy Gibbs, in an explanation of the historical 401th journey of the world's fastest Ocean liners.

As is also known, the flagship of America will now be prepared for its next chapter and will be prepared to transform into a dynamic and immersive museum and a visitor center that celebrates the ship and its place in American history.

As soon as it is complete, it is used as the “largest artificial reef in the world” in front of Floridas Gulf Coast near Destin-Fort Walton Beach and, according to SS United States Conservancy, will be the first artificial reef with a unique Shoreside museum and visitor center.

The Conservancy also announced that there will be a documentary that tells the famous history of the SS United States, which is currently in production.
