SS United States: Fastest Liner in The World

March, 2025. The ocean liner SS United States - renowned for her beauty and record-breaking speed - lies in wait in Mobile, Alabama, counting down the days until she is sunk and turned into an artificial reef off the coast of Florida. It is a controversial end for a vessel of such luxury and grandeur; one with a rich and magnificent history as one of the greatest ships to ever grace the waves of the Atlantic.

Together, let's celebrate her legacy through some of my own illustrations, and explore everything that made SS United States truly one of a kind.
