Full Ahead


Above is a photo postcard of the SS UNITED STATES sailing outbound down the Hudson River with the Manhattan skyline in the background. The caption on the back reads "S.S. UNITED STATES passing 42nd street" - this much is accurate as her berth was at West 46th street. But it dates the photo as 1950 while her maiden voyage was in July 1952 so I guess this may be why I keep it as a collector's item. Great photo, though!
