SS United States (ocean liner)
The SS United States is a legendary American ocean liner built in the 1950s, designed to carry passengers across the Atlantic Ocean. It was the fastest ship of its kind at the time, capable of setting transatlantic speed records. Known for its sleek, modern design and engineering excellence, it symbolized American innovation and optimism during the post-war era. The ship served both as a passenger liner and a symbol of national pride but was retired from commercial service in the 1960s. Today, it’s considered a historic landmark, with ongoing efforts to preserve and repurpose it.
