SOS: Act Now to Save America's Flagship
March 25, 2012


 
Dear SS United States Conservancy supporter,

This week we are launching an urgent "Save Our Ship" campaign to raise funds that will enable us to extend our support for the 1,000-foot-long vessel's carrying costs while we continue to advance our museum and redevelopment plans. CLICK HERE to view our SOS press release and  CLICK HERE to read today's Associated Press story.  While we have made great strides over the course of the year, our efforts have now reached a critical threshold. 

 

This urgent appeal with the goal of raising $500,000 from new donors, corporate sponsors, and other supporters will ensure that the SS United States' legacy is honored and celebrated - and not destroyed.  We have reached an all-hands-on-deck moment. We hope you will join us in urging your friends, family and colleagues to become Conservancy members and "shipowners" at SavetheUnitedStates.org. We also need your help in reaching out to political leaders, the press, and potential corporate sponsors and investors.  We welcome your suggestions on how we can insure that our campaign succeeds.   

 

With all the attention being given to plans for the Titanic II - a replica of an ocean liner that met a tragic end - we still have the chance to  save the most famous ship that didn't sink. If this singular American achievement is destroyed, we will lose an unparalleled opportunity to create jobs, honor our history, and celebrate the nation's enduring capacity for innovation. The SS United States conveys a simple and timeless message: Anything is possible.

 

For more on how you can help us achieve that goal, read our new How to Help PDF document, downloadable here

 

Thank you so much for your continued support.
