I visited a fellow’s office regarding a tech question, and on his wall (and in some tall narrow cans) he had naval arch. drawings of the ocean liner SS United States. Turns out, the fellow was a lead architect for Mr. Gibbs, and the fellow had made the drawings himself.

This little bit of history, changed the course of our conversation.

What a fast ship! 43 mph!

I learned:
SS = Screw Steamer
