AMERICA’S FLAGSHIP Needs a home - AND YOU CAN Help MAKE IT HAPPEN

For more than a decade, the Conservancy has worked to redevelop America’s iconic flagship into a world-class destination and economic engine for its host city. Now we have the plan to do it. In partnership with RXR and MCR Hotels, we have unveiled a commercially viable program to transform the SS United States into a dynamic waterfront mixed-use museum and development complex. Now, we urgently need  a pier location for the ship.

This inspired, private sector development proposal has been presented to New York State, and would involves the reconstruction of a pier along the Hudson River in Manhattan as the ship’s permanent home complete with infrastructure, acres of open space and public access. The commercial development will include a hotel, restaurants and lounges, numerous event spaces, and a world-class museum. The project would create thousands of new jobs and generate millions in tax revenue annually. 

Additional locations, including Philadelphia, Miami and other major port cities could also benefit from the ship’s commercial revitalization and iconic status.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY to ensure this vision becomes a reality. Without a pier location, this symbol of our nation could be lost forever. New York and other states’ leaders need to express their interest in seeing this bright future for the ship advance.

Below you can tell state and local leaders to support providing a pier for this unique and iconic project.

The Conservancy and its generous supporters and our developer partners have done their part. Now our political leaders just have to say YES! Click the boxes below to send an email message you can personalize asking officials to help save the SS United States.
