Additional Details:
Largest and most luxurious ship ever built in America, and the world's fastest and most modern liner. 990 feet long, 101 feet 6 inches broad, 53,308 gross tons. She established new transatlantic speed records both eastbound and westbound on her maiden voyage from New York, July 3, 1952 and from Europe July 10, 1952. This new flagship of the United States Lines and her running mate, the beautiful S.S. America maintain regular frequent sailings between New York and Europe.
