Summary: SS United States, The Story of America's Greatest OceanLiner
Comment: This a great book to begin learning of the pride of the USA! It is not only about a ship, but the man who dreamed of building it. Follow the Big U from inception to being mothballed, her taking of the Blue Riband on the maiden voyage, and of how she served her country well. Now she sits on Packer Ave, Philadelphia, looking sad and stripped of her glory. A MUST read book! Next, follow up with an even more descriptive book, "The Big Ship" by Frank Braynard! These are two MUST OWN book!

Summary: A great book on the Superliner United States
Comment: This is an incrediable book about the adventures of not only the ship herself but also her designers, Gibbs and Cox and her birth place Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock. It does not end there though, it also goes into famous passengers and even the ships last master, Commodore Alexanderson (with a brief history of his maritime life, including his journeys on the SS United States & the SS America.) Recommended reading for any United States Line buff, SS United States or SS America buff, or Ocean Liner enthusiast. The last ocean liner to grab the Hales Trophy lives on in this great book. Long live the S.S. United States.

Summary: A frank summary of how we've lost our American Pride.
Comment: Excellent detail will put you on board through her final days as the world's fastest and most technologically advanced luxury liner.

Still unanswered: What is next for this great ship?
