The S.S. United States book is the first comprehensive work on the
vessel in decades. This volume includes many rarely seen
photographs from the liner's golden years to her forlorn and lonely
twilight years. Follow Frank Braynard, the nation's leading
maritime historian, and Robert Hudson Westover as they chronicle
the life of the S.S. United States. The United States, which still
holds the West-bound speed record on the North Atlantic, is the
greatest ocean liner this country has ever built, and this book
stands as a fitting tribute and celebration of her maiden
voyage.The Big Ship: The Story of the S.S. United States is the
fascinating behind-the scenes story of one of the fastest ships in
the world and one of the most luxurious passenger liners to cross
the Atlantic. With new introductory material by the SS United
States Conservancy, this classic volume includes photographs of
celebrity passengers and of the majestic liner from her golden
years, when she spurred the rebirth of America’s maritime glory,
to her twilight years. Follow Frank Braynard, one of the great
American maritime historians, as he chronicles the life of the S.S.
United States, the incredible feat of engineering that still holds
the westbound speed record on the North Atlantic. This book stands
as a tribute of her maiden voyage, a celebration of her recent
rescue efforts by the Conservancy, and an inspiration for future
generations to restore the legacy of the greatest ocean liner this
country has ever built.
