The S.S. United States

I need to go see this ... again.

When I was a little kid I was a passenger, with my parents and brother, on the S.S. United States on a voyage from New York to England. I still remember it.

She is bigger than the Titanic. In fact, she is the biggest and fastest ocean liner ever built. And she carries our name, and always has. S.S. United States.

This is how extinction starts. With loss of memory.
