Largest and most luxurious ship ever built in America and the world's fastest liner. 990 feet ling, 101 feet 6 inches broad, 53,300 gross tons. She established new transatlantic speed records both eastbound and westbound on her maiden voyage from New York, July 3, 1952, and from Europe, July 10, 1952. This flagship of the United States Lines and her running mate, the beautiful S.S. America maintain regular frequent sailings between New York and Europe.

Approximate size: 3.5" tall x 5.5" wide.
Condition: Very Good to Excellent
The SS United States , when she was built in 1952, was the fastest ship ever built, as well as the largest ship ever built in America. ; She still holds the record for the fastest westbound transatlantic crossing by a passenger ship. The ship last carried passengers in 1969, and is presently docked in Philadelphia. Although she was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, there are some questions about what the future holds for the great SS United States
