Man, look at her... Still in a very much pristine condition... Her funnels still showing her bright colors... Look at her now... All faded out... This isn't the fate she deserved... So I hope that the Conservancy can restore her to her former glory as a museum to show her history...
Good morning and Happy New Year. I HAVE SOME VERY VERY BAD NEWS. PLEASE READ!! Court date set for Tuesday January 16th at 8 am Philadelphia courthouse. Please go there and help😢😢.. The SS United States is facing serious and immediate threats. The vessel’s landlord, Penn Warehousing, doubled the ship’s rent during the coronavirus pandemic and has sued the Conservancy, demanding back rent and the removal of the ship from the pier. The Conservancy has been unable to secure an alternative berth, and a trial is scheduled in mid-January. An unfavorable judgment would devastate the Conservancy and likely compel us to relinquish control of the vessel. The Conservancy’s board is now evaluating various contingencies on a very tight and demanding schedule. If Penn Warehousing wins a judgment against the Conservancy, the SS United States may have to be scrapped.
This must be very old because this was before she was sent to Turkey to have her interior and lifeboats removed, let's hope that the United States will be saved.
