EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the sleek and majestic SS United States as it cuts through the tranquil waters of the North Atlantic, leaving a trail of white foam in its wake. The SS United States, a testament to postwar engineering and design, held the coveted title of the fastest transatlantic crossing liner from 1952 to 1954. With a top speed of over 35 knots, it shattered the previous Blue Riband record by an impressive margin. Charles E Brown, a talented photographer from the Royal Air Force, captured this image during one of the SS United States' transatlantic voyages. The liner's powerful presence is evident in the photograph, with its distinctive hull shape and elegant lines. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the golden age of ocean travel, an era when crossing the Atlantic was a grand and luxurious adventure. The SS United States was the epitome of modernity and innovation, featuring advanced design elements such as a streamlined hull, a unique anhedral wing hull, and a revolutionary propulsion system. Its sleek design and impressive speed made it a symbol of American technological prowess and a source of national pride. Despite its historic significance, the SS United States was eventually retired from service in 1969 and was later scrapped in 1996. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the liner's storied history and the golden age of ocean travel. It is a testament to the beauty and power of engineering and design, and a reminder of the thrill and excitement of crossing the Atlantic on a magnificent ocean liner.
