Maiden Voyage T-Shirt Contest Honorable Mention: Jackie Parks

As for her hopes for the future of the SS United States, Jackie says, “the future SS United States that I see, is one where ‘Unity’ does what she does best, helping people. I see the SS United States acting as a cultural arts center, in her mighty engines rooms there can be a museum dedicated to her history and engineering triumph, and from D Deck to the A Deck, I can see wonderful spaces, hopefully some restored with her mid-century flair.”
