Next month July 2012 will mark the 60th anniversary of the S.S. UNITED STATES record breaking maiden voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. As many of you know she was taken out of service in 1979 and for the last sixteen years has been tied up at an idle berth on the Delaware River under the current ownership of the S.S. UNITED STATES Conservancy. A celebration marking this milestone will be held on June 15th at the Independence Seaport Museum. The fund raising event is being promoted by Dick Vermeil the former coach of the Philadelphia EAGLES. Recent philanthropy monies will run out in November and the conservancy is in need of funds to keep the great ship from the scrapyard. S.O.S. - Save our Ship!
