As previously reported, today was a key deadline for the SS United States. While negotiations are ongoing, we can report that today's developments were encouraging, and we'll be releasing further information in the days to come.
The Conservancy remains cautiously optimistic about the ship's prospects as we head into October. Needless to say, we thank everyone for your patience and ongoing support while we continue to work through details.
As reported last week, we were little more than $29,000 away from fully taking advantage of Jim Pollin's $100,000 donation-matching grant. We are thrilled to announce that you have once again stepped up to meet the challenge to help buy us additional time for the SS United States!
As of this afternoon, we are now just $2,072 away from our matching-grant goal! The ship remains afloat on this crucial day thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters from across the country and around the world: we can't thank you enough for your continued support.
