S.S. United States, a retired American ocean liner and the fastest passenger ship ever built, is now under tow on its final voyage to Mobile, Alabama to undergo preservation as part of plans to turn it into an artificial reef off the Florida coast.
Our intrepid researchers at the Family History Center on Ellis Island have combed through the manifests to uncover some of the ship’s most famous passengers including John F. Kennedy & Jackie O, Harry S. Truman, Marlon Brando, Grace Kelly & Prince Rainer, Salvador Dali, Haile Selassie, Greta Garbo, and many more.
