About the Item

Mid 20th Century photo of the SS United States in dry dock. The SS United States was a luxury passenger liner built in 1952 for the United States Lines. It was designed to be the fastest passenger ship in the world, a title it achieved on its maiden voyage, breaking the transatlantic speed record. The ship was a symbol of American engineering and design prowess during the Cold War era. It was taken out of service in 1969 and has since been docked in Philadelphia, awaiting redevelopment. The ship remains an iconic piece of maritime history, representing a bygone era of transatlantic travel. The photograph likely captures the ship during its construction or a period of maintenance in dry dock. Overall in good condition it does have a mark top right. This is a great piece of American history and would look great framed.
