This colourful history covers the SS United States' active service
from 1952 to 1969 when she dominated the seas of Atlantic, sweeping
all rivals before her. The astonishing operational capacity of this
national icon of the United States, with her red, white and blue
funnels, sleek streamlined hull and silver coated fittings, was
shrouded in secrecy in case she was ever required to be converted
to a troop carrier. Andrew Britton presents a revealing insight
into the record-breaking liner, how she performed in the secret sea
trials and her epic maiden voyage. Compiled from a wealth of
previously unpublished material, drawn from the author's own
unparalleled collection and others from around the world, this
special commemorative book is packed with historical colour
photography from both sides of the Atlantic, including the maiden
voyage departure from New York. This evocative book will be a must
for all shipping enthusiasts and is sure to enhance the fine
reputation of the preserved SS United States for future
generations.
