Veteran cruise industry executive Jim Pollin donated $200,000 to the national nonprofit organization working to save and repurpose America’s retired SS United States, according to a press release.
“We are very lucky that the SS United States is still afloat and has not been scrapped like so many other historic vessels. She has survived for 70 years for a reason. She is a stellar example of American craftsmanship. Now let’s bring her back to life for new generations to experience. Saving America's Flagship is a patriotic project that can make us all proud,” said Pollin.
