Another ship update

Because of continuing high winds, Tuesday's towing of the S.S. United States--during which the ocean liner was to be moved from Philadelphia's Pier 80, and begin its journey on the Delaware River, toward Alabama---has again been postponed. 

This second phase of the ship's towing is now scheduled to begin on Wednesday (February 19th).

From the Facebook page of the S.S. United States Conservancy:

Tugboats are now expected to maneuver the SS United States out into the Delaware River channel two to three hours before low tide. She will then proceed down river at approximately 12:51 pm.
