Bump, Thx.
PBS had a good documentary a few years ago... seems like a worthwhile project to spend a few million stimulus dollars on before they are wasted elsewhere.
this has been ongoing since the middle 1980s. they’ve never been able to pool enough investors to make it happen. considering the state of cruise ships now, i think there is no way they could ever make this happen. shame - she was a beautiful ship, but the world has changed.
My brother sailed aboard the SS United States from France back to the US in 1969 or 1970. I would surprised if this ship ever went anywhere under its own power post 1970-71-72. Indeed, googling “last voyage SS united states” it was effectively abandoned in 1970.
docked right in Philly, and impressive ship, it’s just wasting away
Sarah Palin needs to get out and start raising not money but
RAISING HELL.
WE MUST HAVE THE HOUSE IN 2010.
How about this one about its rival in the 1950s and 1960s? Someone wants to restore the Queen Mary I in Long Beach CA to ocean going conditions.
Won’t happen since the estimated cost is $1.5 billion and the the QM1 will likely sink once the breakwater around her is removed.
was hopin’ I seee an underway pic... one can guesstimate a lot from the stern wash...
Let me guess that none of those people crying over it have raised a penny to buy it and make her seaworthy again?
