I can remember so vividly, standing on the dock, looking down the bow of SS UNITED STATES in Norfolk VA during one of our cruises North on TABOR BOY when we stopped their for fuel and supplies. I went on to have a teacher at MMA who was 3rd mate on her sea trials. I was amazed at such a grand ship at the young age of 16. One of the many experiences that confirm you destiny. The people of the United States need to save the UNITED STATES to preserve HER destiny.

These types of cultural icons are difficult to save but they are such an important part of our country’s history and maritime heritage.
