The Future and Fate of the SS United States the current cost and Up keep, are plans moving forward? The SS United States last journey was in 1969. The fast-growing air transportation industry made cross-Atlantic commercials unprofitable. In the early 1990s, the ship was sent to Turkey to have its entire interior walls stripped to its bare bones. Then in 1996, the ship arrived in Philadelphia to be a riverfront Casino / Hotel, but that plan failed.
The SS United States Conservatory bought the ship. The owner of the group is the Great-Granddaughter of William Gibbs, the creator of this ship. They have been actively trying to find an owner to restore the ship. Many people are interested, just nothing has been finalized. They rely on donations to keep the ship docked which cost them 50,000 Us Dollars a month. Donations are keeping this ship afloat.
If you would like to make a donation to help save the ship, go to www.savetheunitedstates.org/ to make a donation.
