The Spirit of America


S.S. United States: Discovering A National Treasure


For over two decades The S.S. United States was heralded around the world,

 a much admired American icon and a source of great national pride. 


Today this national treasure is hidden in plain sight along the Delaware River in Philadelphia. 


Though the advent of the Jet Age brought about the demise of many national flagships,

 The S.S. United States has persevered. 


The Golden Age of Liners may have faded into history 

but The S.S. United States remains as much a symbol of the American way of life 

as the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell. 


Her existence is a testament to the American Spirit. 


Both ship and story elicit awe, inspiration and pride.



The S.S. United States has graciously represented the Spirit of America

 since before her keel was laid in 1950. 


The largest and last American passenger liner she is a symbol of the nation's excellence. 


Her story is one of innovation, industry, patriotism, success & hospitality. 


The "Big U" is to this day,

 the fastest ocean liner in history, 

holds one of the finest safety & technical records of any ocean going vessel 

and is the only ship ever to have been honored with the name "United States". 


This is America's one and only flagship: America's Ship of State.



S.S. United States Trust's Honorary Chairman: President Bill Clinton

We are honored to have the only living U.S. President to have sailed aboard the SS United States endorse our efforts to preserve the ship by generously accepting the post of

Honorary Chairman. 


President William Jefferson Clinton crossed the Atlantic 

on America's Flagship in 1968 en route to accept 

his Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University.


"I strongly believe that in this age of rapid change, we must maintain what is good and constant in our past if we are to imagine a better future."- President William Jefferson Clinton


"to those who come hereafter..."

President Roosevelt was troubled

by the scrapping of 

the R.M.S. Mauretania

in 1935.


President Franklin D. Roosevelt:  


"The Mauretania always facinated me with her graceful yacht-lines...

her appearance of power and good breeding.  


But why couldn't the British remember 

the Mauretania's faithfulness--

taken her out to sea 

and sunk her whole--

giving her a Viking's funeral, 

this ship with a fighting heart? 


It would be more inspiring 

to those who come hereafter 

to know that a ship that was a ship 

received decent treatment at her death." 


Ian Robertson:

"I share with many 

of my Ocean Liner Enthusiasts 

that this does not happen 

to the  S.S. United States 

and the Queen Elizabeth II."
