Beschreibung

<p>Arguably the world's most articulate and authoritative maritime historian, John Maxtone-Graham documents <em>SS United States</em>, her design, construction and seventeen years of impeccable service. He introduces us to dozens of passengers, famous and infamous, as well as captains and crew.</p><p>The last great American ocean liner, <em>SS United States</em> 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-aluminium ship rests in Philadelphia while groups of fans continue to try to repurpose it.</p>
