In the vast expanse of maritime history, few vessels command as much awe and respect as the SS United States, affectionately known as "The Big U." Launched in 1952 for the United States Lines, this ocean liner not only holds the title of the largest American-built liner but also boasts the record for the fastest westbound transatlantic crossing. The SS United States is a meticulously crafted model that allows enthusiasts to bring this icon into their homes or offices, capturing the essence of a bygone era.

Craftsmanship Excellence The SS United States models are not mere replicas; they are exquisite works of art crafted by master artisans. Painstakingly constructed by hand using historical photographs, drawings, and original plans, these models are built to scale with precision and attention to detail. The use of high-grade woods such as western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany ensures the authenticity and durability of each model. The plank-on-frame construction method mirrors the building process of the actual ship, adding to the authenticity of these stunning creations.

Intricate Details Every aspect of the SS United States is faithfully recreated in the model. From the meticulously painted chimney in red, white, and black to the handcrafted lifeboats painted in black and white, the attention to detail is extraordinary. Metal ladders, winches, vents, wood cranes, railings – every element on the deck is replicated with precision. The model is securely mounted on a solid wooden base with a brass nameplate, creating a display piece that is as stable as it is beautiful.

Special History The SS United States, nicknamed "The Big U," was built in 1952 for the United States Lines, boasting the title of the largest U.S.-made ocean liner at 53,329 gross tons. It set a record for the fastest westbound transatlantic crossing and secured the Blue Riband during its maiden voyage in 1952. Though it lost the eastbound record in 1990, it still holds the westbound record. The ship served in transatlantic passenger service until 1969 and remains docked in Philadelphia, awaiting a decision about its future.
