Dear SS United States Conservancy Supporters:       

 

As you know, the Conservancy launched its groundbreaking Save the United States campaign this week.  Congratulations to everyone who already visited  Savetheunitedstates.org and purchased and personalized their parts of America's Flagship.  Please share a link to savetheunitedstates.org or your piece of the ship with at least five people so that we can keep building our community of new supporters.  Square inches are available for only $1!  Use this campaign as a fresh way to approach your family, friends and colleagues about the plight and potential of the SS United States.  Share word of your purchase via Facebook, Twitter and email.  You can also share links to the "explore your ship" fun facts located in various spots around the vessel.

 

Those of you who have not yet begun exploring the exciting new site, the time is now!

 

We've received a terrific early burst of media coverage about the campaign, and we expect more stories in the coming days and weeks.  The Associated Press produced a print article, a video piece and a radio feature that have been picked up by hundreds of outlets worldwide.  A small sampling includes the Minneapolis's Star Tribune, Yahoo News,  MSNBC, the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, CNBC.Com, the Seattle Times, Huffington Post, US News and World Report, and the Washington Post, among hundreds of others. (To view any of the articles, click on the names of the media outlets above and below in bold.)

 

Additional media coverage has included great articles in the Wall Street Journal, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Marine Link, and CBS News.  Even more stories will follow.

 

We encourage you to visit the media outlets that are covering our great story and be sure to click "like" or "recommend" or leave a positive comment about the ship and the Conservancy's campaign.  If you are active on Facebook or Twitter, be sure to share stories with links for your friends and followers.  

 

Again, please share the URL to the new site, savetheunitedstates.org with your friends, colleagues and family members.  If you are not particularly computer savvy, try to tap a child, spouse, friend, niece or nephew, or anyone who can be enlisted to help get out the word.

 

If you encounter any technical issues with the new site, please don't hesitate to provide feedback or share your concerns at support@ssusc.org

 

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support.  With your continued backing, the SS United States will inspire and endure for many years to come.

 

Susan Gibbs,

Executive Director
