Dick Vermeil Sets Up Drive to Save SS United States in New PSA

Built to be both luxury superliner and Cold War weapon, America’s flagship, the SS United States was the fastest and safest ocean liner ever built. Larger than the Titanic and faster than the Queen Mary, the United States is one of the last remaining of the great 20th century ocean liners and a symbol of American post-war innovation. Berthed in Philadelphia for more than 15 years awaiting revitalization, the ship still holds the transatlantic speed record.
