Thank you. I made two transatlantic crossings on her in 1964 when she was the SS America. I was just 12 at the time and traveling with my parents. I remember her well.

I saw her in Jan 2005 I think a few months later it healed over. Nearly wrecked the hire car as it was just a track off of the main road to that part of the coast. The pictures and films, of that time, never capture how huge it was only a couple of hundred yards from the small beach.

Abandoned buildings, ships, churches or houses are not only dead constructions of wood and steel for me. They are living, breathing creatures, and they suffer the way they are treated, when people who built them dicide, they are useless now and leave them to rot and decay. To see the long and undeserving way the American Star died, makes me cry in pain, for I can hear her silent tears.

The ship originally had two funnels, one I believe was non functional, and was there for improving the look of the ship I believe.

Yes, she had two funnels and the dummy funnel being the first was added for looks but then when she became Italis in 1979, the first funnel was removed from being so corroded.

Because one half of her which was her bow was on a sand bar while her stern was more into the water and so that put strain on her while of course waves were smashing against her every 5 seconds added more strain until she just finally split!

I know how you feel. It's because we see more than just an old ship; we see beauty and immense craftsmanship; just think about all that work that was involved to create something like that. I guess we're also sad because all that history attached to it is now reduced to a pile of rust on the seafloor.
