More about the S.S. United States

There is a lengthy piece about the ocean liner (which I last wrote about on July 9th), in today's New York Times.

The article features an interview with Susan Gibbs, the President and co-founder of the S.S. United States Conservancy, a group devoted to the ship's preservation, and history.  Her grandfather, William Francis Gibbs, designed the ship.

The Conservancy is trying to find a new home for the ship, following a June court order that it must be removed from its berth on the Philadelphia waterfront by September 12th.
