Dry Dock
In Philadelphia, waiting for a new role, the U.S.S. United States, the largest luxury passenger liner ever built. It is also the fastest ship to ever cross the Atlantic, still holding the record. She is 990 feet long (the length of 3 football fields) and sped along at 35 knots per hour (40 miles or 65 km). Imagine seeing this rush by!
Two of my family members were on the 2nd crossing in 1952, leaving Southampton, England, when emigrating from Scotland to the United States.
For #6 - A Boat or Ship, 52 in 2015
