The SS United States was the flagship of the United States Lines and was representative of the apex of steam-engineering technology. Designed by William Francis Gibbs, the ship was designed to be both fast and safe, due to the use of new materials with an emphasis on being fireproof. This book chronicles the design, construction, and operation of the liner. Using many materials taken from the ship itself, the authors detail the intricate interplay of safely operating a 990-foot-long vessel, providing the finest cuisine, entertainment, and personal services as well as running an oceangoing hotel. The book is richly illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs. In addition, included are personnel lists, performance and engineering data, transcripts of ship’s logs, and other documents that illustrate the massive undertaking and attention to detail that made this “America’s Flagship.”

Each signed book will be made out to the person purchasing the book. If ordering more than one, please include who it should be made out to. If there's a particular inscription you'd like to have written, please include that. Please be aware that this will not be signed by the 1st author, as he unfortunately passed away. The signed copies will include a signature stamp of the 2nd author and a hand signed signature of the 3rd author with the current date. It will also be stamped with an original SS United States stamp.
