The SS United States is about as unique and incredible as it gets: an entire ocean liner that&#39;s larger than the Titanic, out of use since 1969 and moored in Philadelphia since 1996. Both the fastest liner ever built and the largest constructed on US soil, it&#39;s one of only two surviving relics from the entire age of passenger liners, and yet its future has been imperiled for decades and it seems like its time might finally be running out. We&#39;ll explore why the SS United States is so significant and meaningful, the desperate efforts to save it, and what it&#39;s like touring a ghost ship that ceased operations long ago and on which only echoes remain.
