Amazing👌

What an interesting place to sail. Loved the views of the battleship! 👍👍

Thank you for this last visit to this great ship. SHE DESERVES BETTER THAN SINKING!

Another great video Jim. The sights are things I otherwise would not have ever seen. I love your use of the Insta360 video.

BB62 is a sexy ship!

Very interesting, Jim, and looked like great weather for the sailing.

Man, Awesome! Watch lots of your vids!!

As an oceanliner history enthusiast it's somewhat comforting to know that at least it wont just be broken up and turned into razor-blades. There's always a silver lining.

DONT SINK IT!!! If the "mighty" and once the most powerful country in the world doesn't want to save it's maritime pride and living legend, just take it out of the water and give it a chance to be admired by the next generations... To sink it, is just an unforgivable sin.

Make America Great Again? Then refurbish and save the SS United States!

Thank you for this tour. I was one of the thousands who she took across the Atlantic as I arrived as a seven year old, with my family from Scotland in May of 1958. Even in her current state, she is beautiful.

Hi James, I would like to mount my insta 360 One x2 on the Hobie Tandem, behind where it doesn't disturb the mainsheet, can you show me what you used and how you fixed yours? Many thanks, I'm looking for the solution on the internet but I haven't found it yet.

Another bit of my childhood gone sadly. She used to be part of Southampton like so many other liners, one of the most lovely of them

I was 10 years old when we sailed on this beautiful ship coming back from Europe to New York 1963. It was one of the most amazing journeys you can imagine. There is no vessel afloat that will ever come close to it in every respect. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who made that voyage possible. I treasure those vivid, lasting memories.

Aren't kayaks meant to reverse against the breaking waves. Also take down the mast before coming in. Maybe the outriggers as well

I heard she's leaving on 15Nov2024. I could be wrong however,

Hi, Jim, nice video of the Annapolis show. My friend and I sailed in Annapolis at the 2018 Day Sailer North American Championship, so your video brought back memories of a special time. It looks like you're enjoying the 360 degree camera and the drone and they provide some interesting footage. I'm hoping to get in another sail or two here on the Minnesota/Wisconsin border before I put the AI away for the winter - my TI is already resting in the Upper Peninsula. Thanks for posting the video, it's very appreciated.

She’s still a beautiful ship Elon should buy her and make it his personal yacht.

Well presented and produced.

Can't wait to get up close and pat the side like you did! In warmer water of course!

Ive visited the ship numerous times on my jet ski. What cant be fathomed is the size of the ship when youre next to it on the water. Its massive and looking up the side of it is like looking up the side of a building. Ill miss it

That was our Flagship. Was so beautiful in its day.

Thank You !

I've seen her at least at once a week since she's been there, while driving around the area or crossing the Walt Whitman bridge. Seeing her always gives me a warm feeling. There will be a big hole left in Philadelphia's heart when she is gone. The city may soon be spending millions of dollar to help build an unnecessary, neighborhood destroying Sixers arena in Chinatown, while ignoring this jewel right under it's nose. Sad.

Grandeur et décadence de l'Amérique ...ça nous rappelle " le France " au quai de l'oubli ...

In 4 years talk will turn to a Presidental Library for President Trump. How bout using the SS United States for a new library ?

Thanks for taking the time to do that fantastic fly over. It was a touching video as it brought back memories of the decade I spent as an engineer in the merchant marine.

I LOVE the Historic Queen Mary and we will restore a famous British ocean liner . But we won't save and restore our own SS United States ocean liner. We would rather sink our own flag ship. It's sad really.

Thank you, Mr.Power for the fun tour of the SS United States. She will outlive all of us as a home for sea life.

Someone……please….

Thanks for all the interest in the SS United States. For those not familiar with this fine ship, I point you to this CBS Sunday Morning video from a few months back.... enjoy... kzbin.info/www/bejne/monMnIWiftlsfLssi=hcMX5ZuDYIONwxL-

What a kind a gracious gift you have given those of us who love this ship and are devastated that she will be sunk instead of given celebrated life above the waterline. Considering the untold waste of the US government's trillions, even in the Pentagon budget alone, and the cost to refurbish the SS United States which would be petty cash for the likes of Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, the sadness that we will lose this great treasure of the glory days of American price and ingenuity is further evidence that this nation has lost its way from a people ignorant of their own history. When what was a vital America is left foundering in political and physical ruin, the destruction of the SS United States will be remembered as one of the landmarks in the long road of where we went wrong. Shame on us all.

The sinking of the SS United States is a travesty

Some less common final shots of the SS United States before being sunk in the Gulf of Mexico as an artificial reef. It's unfortunate that one of the last four ocean liners in existence (the only one designed and built in the USA) is going to be purposefully submerged for the fishes and diving set. It represents a tremendous accomplishment in ship design and engineering and speed. It should have been preserved as living, breathing part of U.S. history. Instead it will be covered up in water left rust into the sea.

While watching this I’m reminded of a familiar line I’ve heard in the past; the reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. The Lord knew of the need of her service at a future date and time. Consequently He kept her safe resting at her berth until she will be revived to fulfill her duties to return invading hordes to their country of origin. In the process she’ll help keep our citizens safe from those who seek to harm and destroy our country. After the reconditioning of her current boilers and engines, reinstalling her propellers and a fresh coat of paint along with updated wiring, her 95% or better structural integrity will once again cruise the oceans to serve our country. In the words of William Francis Gibbs; you can’t catch her, you can’t catch her on fire and you can’t sink her. As a troop transport she has the ability to carry around 14,000 persons. With the ability to make a round trip to Europe every week it, along with other modes will more rapidly empty the dangerous illegal aliens that have invaded our borders seeking to cause violence within our cities and communities. Any ships crew’s primary responsibility is to prevent the ship from being claimed by the sea. To purposely surrender a ship is the ultimate surrender of their mission. God is moving to protect our nation and this ship for His purposes. You can’t fight God and win for He is greater than any enemy formed against Him. I’ll praise God through His word, grace, mercy and love.🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

This ship deserves to be saved, sinking her is a disgrace and a cheap way to get rid of her 😡

Not only one

THIS IS A CRIME AGAINST WE, THE PEOPLE! SCUTTLING A SHIP NAMED FOR OUR NATION IN ITS GLORY DAYS? IT SHOULD BELONG TO ALL OF US TAXPAYERS AS FEDERAL FUNDING WAS USED IN ITS CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS MADNESS, A DEMORALIZING END TO THE BIDEN PRESIDENCY

It is a tragedy though. The amount of money the U.S throws away overseas, and on our own soil, we can't save this icon. 🙄🤔

IMO. While restoration for ocean travel was out of cost limits, its too bad she was not put on land, and made into a fine hotel and dining facility.

I'm surprised you didn't get chased out of there.

Really great video for history to watch. It is what it is on the SSUS. At least her grave will be in US waters and NOT in a Chinese melting pot for scrap.

I’m sorry to see this ship headed to a watery grave. I sailed on this ship as a 12 year old boy with my parents from Bremerhaven Germany to New York City in order to about March 1966

Thank You ! Beautiful Ship , so sorry to see her go.

Great video! It’s such a shame to see her go. It’s so sad and upsetting. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you so much for sailing out to see the old magnificent gal. Beautiful shots. Wish I’d been out on the water with you that day.

Thank you sir for this very rare views of this history making symbol of American ingenuity !

Criminal that a ship built for peaceful use is not preserved yet ships of war are everywhere. What a messed up country we’ve become

Mi auguro che venga salvata. Nave stupenda!
