Circa mid 20th century 1950's.
Provenance label verso and ship biography.
SS United States is a retired ocean liner built between 1950 and 1951 for the United States Lines at a cost of US$79.4 million (equivalent to $829 million in 2021). The ship is the largest ocean liner constructed entirely in the United States and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction, retaining the Blue Riband for the highest average speed since her maiden voyage in 1952 she still holds the title today. She was designed by American naval architect William Francis Gibbs and could be converted into a troopship if required by the Navy in time of war. United States maintained an uninterrupted schedule of transatlantic passenger service until 1969 and was never used as a troopship.
Speed and Power of the SS United States Although the design of the United States was shrouded in tactical secrecy, the most obvious aspect of the design was her immense power and speed. Crushing the competition in terms of time to cross the Atlantic, the United States could whisk the elite and powerful across the ocean in under four days, a time savings of over 12 hours. A ship this large traveling at interstate highway speeds must have been quite a sight.
Powered by four 18' diameter propellors, the United States was the most powerful merchant marine vessel to be built. Not only powerful, but capable of long range missions, the ship could sail 10,000 nautical miles at 35 knots (40 mph) before refueling.
Clever naval architecture helped the SS United States become the greyhound of its era. Extensive use of aircraft-inspired aluminium construction on the superstructure helps with the decreased weight, in turn reducing draft. Fortunately, the aluminium has held up to the elements better than steel would have. Although the ship may visibly be deteriorating, the SS United States remains in relatively good condition with recent structural reports placing the ship within modern shipbuilding requirements and minimums
SS United States Ship Facts Tonnage: 53,330 GT Length: 990' Beam:101' - 6"
Draft: 31' - 3" Number of Decks:12 Cruising Speed: 32 Knots (37 mph or 59 km/hr) Max Speed: 38.38 Knots (44.1mph or 70.97km/h) Line: United States Line Shipyard: Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock in Newport News Port of Registry:New York City Maiden Voyage: July 3, 1952 Years in Service: 1952-1969 Current Status: Docked in Philadelphia, PA
The ship has been sold several times since the 1970s, with each new owner trying unsuccessfully to make the liner profitable. Eventually, the ship's fittings were sold at auction, and hazardous wastes, including asbestos panels throughout the ship, were removed, leaving her almost completely stripped by 1994. Two years later, she was towed to Pier 82 on the Delaware River, in Philadelphia, where she remains today.
