Icon of the United States is a group for people who are dedicated to help this nation preserve a piece of our maritime heritage...the SS United States. The fastest, largest and most highly revered transatlantic liner ever built in the United States of America. This nation took pride in her construction as pieces for her construction flowed from all the existing 50 states towards Newport News, Virginia where she was built ready to float in a dry dock instead of the traditional launching ways. On her maiden voyage she captured the fabled Blue Ribband both eastbound and westbound, never to be challenged by a passenger liner again. Join us in this effort to remind generations to come of how great a nation we can be when our technology meets our ability as a strong working nation.
