About this campaign
The SS United States Conservancy is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the maiden voyage of America’s Flagship with this limited-edition t-shirt.
When she set sail from New York on July 3, 1952, the SS United States was the epitome of mid-century modern design, American innovation, and technological supremacy. Steaming to Europe with notable Americans including Margaret Truman and Bob Hope aboard, she smashed the transatlantic speed record in both directions and captured the Blue Riband – a record she still holds today.
Seventy years later, thanks to the dedicated stewardship of the SS United States Conservancy, she remains afloat, and continues to be a symbol of American pride and a proud icon of our collective strength, our can-do spirit, and the values that unite us.
The SS United States Conservancy, a national non-profit organization, is committed to saving America’s Flagship, the SS United States. The Conservancy has also developed an extraordinary collection of art, artifacts and historical documents related to America’s Flagship, to be displayed in a future ship-board museum. Your support will enable us to continue working to save the ship as well as building and curating our collections and developing exciting new digital exhibitions.

My brother, my parents and I returned to the U.S. from my Dad's military deployment in Germany, in 1965-ish. I guess the military had some kind of arrangement with the company. It was an unimaginable dip into luxury for two army brats. Unforgettable!
My sister Jane, served as a nurse on the ship and was preparing for a big cruise, of I think the Orient, but the ship never came out of drydock to sail again. She absolutely loved the ship! Sad
I like the old liners.
To honor the memory of my good friend Bob Unterbrink, whose family voyaged aboard SSUS in the inaugural year 1952; he never forgot the thrill!
MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS ON THE BEAUTIFUL SS UNITED STATES COMING FROM LE HAVRE FRANCE GOING TO AMERICA! PLEASE SUPPORT TO HELP SAVE THE SHIP!
History and technology is important for education, especially engineering, design, building, maintenance, and seamanship for kids to learn to make and run a ship. It's harder than you think.
