SS United States getting make over.

[August]

I'm glad.

Its future is still uncertain, but the SS United States is getting a below-the-deck makeover to make it more appealing for developers interested in turning what was once the world's fastest ocean liner into a massive dockside attraction. Workers began a project in October to remove tanks and other materials from the belly of the ship to make way for modern utilities systems that would need to go in to transform it. There's a second objective to the project, which is expected to last well into 2014: selling the materials to raise the $50,000 to $60,000 it takes each month to maintain and insure the vessel.

This is great news ... I was hoping they would save her. They said it cost one million dollars a month to dock her, but surely that's not true. I think NCL still owns her.

Don't forget she still holds the trans Atlantic crossing record for cruise ships

It's easy to spot the thoroughbred in her.

I thought we weren't going to bring up Nazis any more.
