Arguably the world s most articulate and authoritative maritime
historian, John Maxtone-Graham documents SS United States, her
design, construction, and seventeen years of impeccable service. He
introduces us to dozens of U.S. passengers, famous and infamous, as
well as captains and crew. The last great American ocean liner, SS
United States could be converted to a 14,000-man troop carrier and
was capable of attaining a speed of over 40 knots (although in her
luxury Atlantic crossings the ship was much slower). Sadly, jet
travel put an end to ocean crossings, and the all-aluminum ship
rests in Philadelphia while groups of fans continue to try to
repurpose it."
