I love to hear all the history of where i was born. ❤ thanku for this video 🙏

Penn Warehouse could care less about the United States line ship, they only care about getting more money to let it sit and rust away.

As of today, according to the news it will probably end up being an artificial reef outside Florida coast.

Just unbelievable how this ship has been abandoned and left to sit and fall apart it is literally an example of what is happening to America right now every hour

And it has been purchased by Florida and to be sunk/reefed. When that ship was stripped down to the bone, it was already scrap and should have been sunk or scrapped at that point. Nobody is going to spend a billion dollars fixing up a ship.

Truly tragic, we already lost Her sister SS America, now there's a great possibility we may lose The SS United States. It seems only a miracle can save her now sadly. Worst case scenario they should sink her near New York City so She would at least be Back in her home city forever. Hopefully that doesn't have to happen but Would be better than getting torn to shreds by scrappers.

The day they gutted her, was the day she died. It’s like a soul that left the body.

Make it a reef

She is just a shell of her former self. Time to send her to the scrapper.

She became a victim of the times. At her time it was the only way to reach other contents. Once aircraft achieved trans Atlantic flight the time and cost factor did the liner in. I'm afraid her future is bleak.

It's a terrible shame. The pride of America. No modern ocean liner will ever achieve her speed. She still holds the Atlantic crossing record and probably always will. She may show her age but her graceful lines will always be timeless

The last time this ship was moved was the last time the Sixers had a great team😂

Greed got her gutted out. This government can launder billions of our tax monies out of the country to line their pockets and offshore bank accounts but cannot preserve such a brilliant piece of history. Truly sad.

The state of this ship, represents the state, of which our country is in. Old, tired ideals not really working out anymore, and needing, a major fix-up. Something a little social project, would work out, for ALL of us🤔😉👍!!!

Sad story that no one give a damn about history,all the rich people are busy bathing in their money. It's probably to late too rescue the ship now RIP SS AMERICA

Great video!!! So sad to see a majestic beauty just waste away. Back in 2006, my daughter worked at the IKEA, that you see in a few frames, across Columbus, Blvd. A lot of security people told her that at night, occasionally, they would notice strange anomalies on the ship. In person, and also checking their security videos. So, she believed that there could be spirits that lurked about the ship. I guess anything is possible. The powers to be in our world today would love to erase past history. So, future generations, could be educated to a narrative of their liking.

The ship is a rust bucket and should be scrapped.

Sad. Sad.

I think the ship would make a wonderful addition to Chicago's Navy pier. The north side of the pier is straight and open and is 3,300 feet long. The pier is the most tourist visited site in the entire state of Illinois. Nine million visitors come to the pier and spen 52 million there on food and entertainment. The SS United States could be refurbished into a hotel and fine dinning spot to join the other attractions at the pier. Remember the lake is fresh water and corrosion and deteriation from the water would be less than in salt water.

She'd make a great artificial reef.

Enough is enough people. For goodness sake let it go. If it was practical to save it would have been saved long ago.

The US has more preserved ships than anyone else ten times over. For gosh sakes let this one go.

They didnt pay the bills I assume?

Just can not save every piece of history, a shame.

If Trump had any money spare he should bring here back as the national flagship

Ocean vessels are in constant need of work whether it be routine maintenance or major refitting. The conservancy needs to come clean and publicize the cost of refitting the ship and the cost of annual maintenance, not to mention berthing it. There are also other costs in making available for public tours. Let's see the full budget and then let's see who steps forward to fund it. The Conservancy places the vessel in the same class as the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell and the Washington Monument. Completely disingenuous.

So, this is how America treats its heritage. The only great American ocean liner... shameful, just sickening what has become of our national pride..

*She's been Gutted and Long Outdated.* *All she's good for now is Scrap Metal.*

It's been moored there for decades. I imagine the hull must be in very poor condition. Too bad. It would make a nice hotel. Too expensive to restore I'd guess

Have there been any recent surveys of her structural integrity, especially of the structural integrity of her hull? Could she even survive being moved?

cannot be restored, too expensive and no return.

The ship is a part of our American History It beat the Queen Mary's speed record for a Transatlantic crossing. The SS United States ship needs to be saved not sent to the Scrapyard It needs to be in Dry Dock to be refurbished and made into a Maritime Museum

Why is there not a national add campaign to sell bonds or a national trust? She’s never been anything but the SS UNITED STATES

@1:55 the 53,330 tons is a measure of volume not weight. 'Ton' refers to the greco-roman 'tun', a standardized cargo vase used for hauling bulk items like grains or liquids. AKA 'amphorae

It is too bad. As nice as it would be to see her in her former glory (or even making crossings under steam!), it likely just isn't doable. It takes a LOT of time and money to restore and maintain old ships, big ships, and steamships; this is an old, big steamship. About the only thing working (slightly) in her favor is she isn't wooden.

Why evict? Doesnt look like the busiest of ports

This Ship should have National Historic Protection, this is another Sign of the Decline and possible Death of our Country, Too bad Elon Musk doesn't Buy it,

An x-ray of the hull plates will tell you all you need to know. She was built to be a racer, so weight would have been saved in construction. I would think she is structurally unsound. With the best will in the world, short of a billionaire she is destined to become a reef or razor blades.

Crumbling away, just like her namesake / Sad

Let her go to the scrap yard. She can never be sailed again. Everything comes to an end now it’s her turn. 😢

Well, no one wanted her for years, she’s been gutted already, time to scrap her.

Clickbait. Ship still there!

SS United States, the condition of this once great and proud ocean liner just reflects the once great and proud USA. How sad.

I'm no expert on ship restoration, but it would probably cost equivalent to building a brand new ship with state of the art components...is it really worth it ?

Will either be scrapped or made into an artificial reef

Some multi millionaire who knows their own time may be short should fund the rebirth of the America.

Do they need the parking space for anything else?

Artificial reef time....

They should use the ship as a titanic doner ship to at least save the price of building a new titanic 2 clive barker should buy it

Please do not repeat what France has made with its own ship:” le France”!…😔🥺🥹
