N24: America’s Dreamboat

Courtesy of Linda Green.This 45-minute television documentary, produced by German news channel N24, explores how the SS United States served as a symbol of America at the peak of its power.The film crew visited the ship and interviewed a number of SS United States Conservancy leaders and and members. It was written and directed by Detlev Konnerth and Charlotte Krüger, and produced by Stefan Aust, one of the best-known journalists in Germany.Although the video is in German, you do have the option to add subtitles, and in our opinion,  it’s worth watching for the footage alone!Click here to view “America’s Dreamboat: The History of the SS United States.”
