February 24, 2009 - The Coalition to Save the SS United States was
officially launched last night on a conference call amongst various
individuals and organizations seeking to save our nation’s flagship.
Both the SS United States Conservancy and the SS United States
Foundation were well represented, as was the Save the Classic Liners
Campaign. The eighteen participants on the call ranged from longtime
activists on behalf of the ship, former crew and passengers dedicated
to seeing the ship preserved, enthusiasts, and maritime lawyers and
engineers. A working strategy was formulated, and all agreed that we
are hitting the ground running and working together to achieve our
common goal: to Save the SS United States. Details of the call will
be forthcoming.
