It’s only been in recent years that Old Ironsides has undergone the kinds of thorough overhauls that have made it seaworthy and capable of being under sail. What a ship.

Now the national disgrace is the SS United States, rusting away at a pier in Philadelphia and one step closer to the scrap yard. All the things on which the Federal govt. wastes money, and it won’t come up the funds to save one of the greatest ship’s ever built and a symbol of American pride, power, and glory.

The SS United States should be restored as a museum. The golden age of travel, when you got dressed in nice clothes.
