The astonishing operational capacity of this national icon of the United States, with her red, white and blue funnels, sleek streamlined hull and silver coated fittings, was shrouded in secrecy in case she was ever required to be converted to a troop carrier. Andrew Britton presents a revealing insight into the record-breaking liner, how she performed in the secret sea trials and her epic maiden voyage. Compiled from a wealth of previously unpublished material, drawn from the author’s own unparalleled collection and others from around the world, this special commemorative book is packed with historical colour photography from both sides of the Atlantic, including the maiden voyage departure from New York. This evocative book will be a must for all shipping enthusiasts and is sure to enhance the fine reputation of the preserved SS United States for future generations.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 226mmItem Length: 248mmAuthor: Andrew BrittonGenre: HistoryTopic: Travel & TransportRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
