Hate to see that happen.   I used to spend quite a bit of time in Philadelphia and saw the United States when she was first docked there.  It seems a shame that she can’t live on in some useful capacity.  I lived in California when they brought the Queen Mary to Long Beach.  Seemed like a great idea at the time, but I don’t think it has ever proved to be financially viable.

Old ships are invariably destined for the scrapyard, but they live on in our memory and imagination of a bygone era.

Nice video of the United States in her glory days here.
