Historic ship in Philly short on funds, time

In short, America’s last trans-oceanic cruise ship, the SS United States, is docked in Philly and has spent many years being converted to rust. An organization was set up to restore it, but they are about out of cash. The SSUS will probably be converted into raw material in about a month.

It’s sad, but inevitable. To all accounts it’s a rust bucket. And not every ship can be saved.

And there was one good comment on the relevant Fark thread:

Hey, since it’s already empty, we can use it to hold all of Obama’s bullshiat.

We’re going to need a bigger boat…
