Capturing the essence of SS United States' grandeur. This art, created by Jason Wade, embodies the beauty & spirit of her sailings from New York. A nostalgic tribute to a maritime icon #SSUnitedStates #MaritimeArt #Nostalgia #gibbslegacy #dontsinkhistory #savinghistory #savehistory #legacy #museum

Pictured below: United States Shipping Board concept renderings from 1919. These vessels, known as "The Big Ships," would have been the fastest, most luxurious ways to travel during this time. Above is the first render of the "United States". The Gibbs brothers would devote the next 32 years to her.
