Conservancy supporters, former SS United States passengers and crew members, local artists, and fans of the Big U gathered recently for a poignant cruise along the Delaware River to commemorate America's Flagship and her time in Philadelphia. United by a passion for the historic ocean liner, over 100 supporters joined Conservancy Board members and staff to share memories and their deep connections to America's Flagship. 

Longtime Conservancy videographer Bill Magee was on hand to capture the event and the moving reflections offered by attendees. CLICK HERE to watch a video recap of the cruise. CLICK HERE to see photos, courtesy of longtime Conservancy photographer Kyle Ober, from the gathering.
