I listened to Diddy while my mom was in the hospital. He gave me hope during a hard time. He shouldn't be in jail.
Ryker supported: Free P. Diddy (Sean Combs)Such a beautiful piece of maritime history and legendary a Liner should not have its final fate resting on the seabed. Especially one not bearing the namesake of this great, free nation. She should be restored to former glory and turned into a great museum at the very least. SOS!
Calebg supported: Save the UNITED STATES!Ships like this are a dying breed I think it’s important to save her so future generations can see how this giants where built and the beauty of there timeless design
Dylan supported: Save the UNITED STATES!The SS United States is a national historic landmark and deserves to have a place as a museum or attraction and restored to its former glory, not an artificial reef. We need to take action now and do everything we can to save the ship and bring her back to where she belongs, with the American people.
Jose supported: Save the UNITED STATES!As a member of the armed forces, and supporter of our constitution, this landmark and historical piece of history should not be preserved on the sea floor but where the American people (and many other nations) can visit her and learn about her history. It will also preserve one of the last remaining ocean liners, and keep alive the era that it came from just as many other ships do to this day (USS Texas, Queen Mary, USS Constitution…)
David supported: Save the UNITED STATES!The SS United States represents the best of this country's engineering, craftsmanship, and sense of adventure at its time. In a time where traditional values, forward-thinking, and global sustainability are topics at the top of everyone's minds, scrapping the SS United States is an affront to all those mindsets. Instead, we should embrace the sense of adventure during this ship's conception and development. Let us use the advancements we pride ourselves on creating and use them to preserve not only a historical monument but also a shining accomplishment in our nation's history. Let us re-envision this majestic vessel that carried hopeful passengers across the sea into an innovative vessel that can inspire its future occupants to imagine new ideas and amazing constructs, much like William Gibbs was inspired when he designed the SS United States. And let us rebuild the SS United States to show future generations how, even in its darkest days, the spirit and resolve of citizens who believe in an ideal will always prevail and find their faith rewarded. And finally, to paraphrase a quote from modern literature, let history never forget the SS United States. Thank you.
Jay supported: Save the UNITED STATES!I believe that this ship is a very important piece of us history, this is the ship that still holds the trans continental record and we can’t just sink it. That would be an injustice to the historical significance of the ship and as well as the future generations ability to learn about it.
Alejandro supported: Save the UNITED STATES!As a maritime history enthusiast, and someone who greatly appreciates the preservation of history, I firmly believe that the S.S. United States, America's Flagship, and one of the few ocean liners left in the world, needs to be preserved. Queen Mary, the Cunard ocean liner, was saved and preserved, and we need to give our ship the same love, care, and treatment. This ship bears our name, and our flag. I will not let her go peacefully. She deserves a mooring of her own, to proudly sit upon the water, and not rot beneath it. As Queen Mary attracts visitors to the west coast, let the SS United States bring visitors to the east.
Jace supported: Save the UNITED STATES!The SS United States needs to be saved. She is the fastest ocean liner to this day no other ship has beat her record. She’s worn down and tired looking but she’s still floating out in the ocean like the first day she crossed the ocean. She’s a beautiful majestic ship and I think it’s only right to give her a new life as a museum and local attraction in NY. They say it’s just a inadamant object but the ship had its own personality in some way. We need to save her!
Dillon supported: Save the UNITED STATES!You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
