S.S. United States. The last Passenger Liner to receive the Blue Riband for crossing the Atlantic in record speeds in 1952. She still holds the record to this day. Sadly she is docked and rotting away across from the IKEA parking lot in Philly. (1200x675) (Image source Brian W. Schaller)

I always wondered the story of this thing. I always see it in philly and wondered why it's been there for years just docked.

Still, doing better than her sister ship.

I was a passenger on her (New York to Liverpool), back in 1960. I have only fond memories of her.
