CBS 3: Dispute between SS United States Conservancy and Penn Warehousing has historic ocean liner facing eviction
By Joe Holden, Tom Gardiner
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The SS United States sits tied and parked at South Philadelphia's Pier 82. The once grand ocean liner is simultaneously knotted in a legal mess.
Its fate lies in the hands of a federal judge who could decide the ship must be booted due to hundreds of thousands of dollars in outstanding fees.
Based on timing, such a move could leave the conservancy that owns the 990-foot boat in need of finding it a new home, possibly sinking it for good.
