Might as well scuttle it in the Atlantic. From what I’ve heard, they didn’t even have bathrooms for LGBTs.
Meanwhile, its keel is slowly but steadily rotting away.
PING
That ship is in such a rotten, deteriorated condition, it’s appalling. It would be a near wonder if it could survive being towed to a scrapyard.
It’s an artistic representation of the Philly-Camden-Chester area.
Forgotten and dying.
looks to me like that rust hulk is ready to be towed to Brownsville to be broken ... assuming that’s even worth the towing expense ...
“Some plans include refitting the ship as a floating hotel and then possibly towed to NYC.”

Probably for the migrants. Democrats would be happy to provide funding for that.
possibly sinking it for good.IOW, it's the tear down the statue mentality.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
How about using it as a campaign advertisement for Trump to make the SS United States great again if he wins. Might pick up some Pennsylvania voters too.
I actually crossed the Atlantic on the SS United States in 1966. Great ship.
Sad. The ship was only in service from 1952 to 1969. If it was going to be repurposed it should have happened 50 years ago. Asbestos removal was a major job. There were some great plans for converting the ship, but too much work and too much money would have been needed to put them into effect.
If it were given a south of the border name biden would find a good place for it.
And can it make it out to 200 NM offshore?
.........so a bunch of wealthy, fortunate people went for a cruise on this now hunk of rusting iron and some bleeding hearts want to make a museum out of it using taxpayers money.
Meanwhile, the US dollar is becoming more and more worthless every day due to dollars printed by the federal government to satisfy loud mouth liberals. Those of us who can afford it march on but many of those who cannot have to choose between food and rent.
As the Indians used to wisely say....”Only the rocks live forever”. Sell it for scrap and give the proceeds to the landlord.
Growing up, we saw the ship return to the yard every Christmas for overhaul and saw the ship in dry dock ablaze with Christmas lights until it was retired. One of my childhood memories that has stuck with me. As a youngster, I thought it was the most beautiful ship I had ever seen. A great ship with many innovations, including its remarkable speed.
Thanks for the update. A sad ending for a great ship.
Let’s hope Uncle Joe doesn’t hear about it or we will all be paying for restoring it so that illegals can live in it for free.
Tow it out and sink it. The longer it stays there, the more likely tax payers will bail it out costing billions to be made in to an illegal alien housing project.
I’d like to see a video walkthrough of this ship in its current condition. Bet it would be spooky.
