The definitive guide to the historic S.S. United States, featuring the classic text with a new foreword and introduction by the SS United States Conservancy.
The Big Ship: The Story of the S.S. United States is the fascinating behind-the-scenes story of one of the fastest ships in the world. Follow Frank Braynard, the nation’s leading maritime historian, as he chronicles the life of the S.S. United States, which still holds the West-bound speed record on the North Atlantic. This book stands as a fitting tribute of her maiden voyage, a celebration of her recent rescue efforts by the SS United States Conservancy, and an inspiration for future generations to restore the legacy of the greatest ocean liner this country has ever built.
