The SS United States is 100 feet longer than the Titanic and still holds the record for the fastest transatlantic crossing of any passenger ship. After several failed attempts to restore her, she will be sunk in Florida to become the world’s largest artificial reef
I crossed the Atlantic from NYC to Le Havre on this ship in Sep 1962 when I was 12. It took 5 days. Seas were rough. Furniture was sliding. I was heaving--heave ho! What a memory.
