PennPraxis and PlanPhilly are hosting two events this summer to honor and celebrate the SS United States, the fastest trans-Atlantic liner in history, now docked in South Philadelphia along the Delaware River and in danger of being dismantled for scrap. We hope you will join us for one or both of our events to honor this treasure of naval design.
