Oral History Projects

Preserving Legacies and Propelling Ingenuity

The SS United States Conservancy is documenting the stories of those with connections to the SS United States.

We have connected with hundreds of former officers and crew members, builders, designers, passengers, maritime historians, and ship enthusiasts to help preserve the legacy of the Big U. These moving stories collected over the last decade preserve the first- hand accounts of the thrill of serving and sailing on board America’s Flagship.
