SS AMERICA
classic ocean liner

When the SS America began her Atlantic crossings in 1946 some travel agents questioned the ship's ability to attract affluent passengers. Cunard lines offered bigger and faster ships RMS Queen Mary and RMS Queen Elizabeth. Curnard service was also impeccable.

Yet the SS America met the competition and over the years attracted many loyal customers.  This was accomplished by offering luxurious First Class facilities with service that  was superlative yet genuine and friendly.  In addition she offered something no other ship had, a piece of America at sea, a more democratic spirit; a fresh new world appeal.

As the country's ship of state SS America was a showcase for the best in American engineering, art, craftsmanship, interior design, and cuisine. The ship was an all American product. From the Oregon pine decking to the Rhode Island silverware on the tables. Practically every State in the Union contributed material and equipment.

The interiors were fashioned by American designers, architects and decorators. The food featured the best regional cuisine.  It all came together to create a truly First Class experience that would attract tourist, diplomats, royalty and Hollywood stars.

Passengers sailed on a floating luxury resort offering the refinement and conveniences of the finest American hotel. They enjoyed expansive deck space and elegant public rooms. First Class had the best location, amid ship, away form the vibration of churning propellers and the impact of waves slamming into the bow.

SS America possessed strikingly handsome lines. She presented a sleek and most dynamic appearance as her tall prow was severely flared and had a slight 'clipper' rake.  Topping her well-proportioned superstructure were two squat oval shaped funnels, both were equipped with 'San-pan' tops.  This 'San Pan' design was featured upon her sister ship United States and was in fact then duplicated onto the cargo ships of the same line as a trademark.
