Description: Launched on the eve of World War II, the SS America stood as a symbol of American maritime ambition, blending elegant design with formidable engineering. This richly detailed history traces the ship's journey from the shipyards of Newport News through her transatlantic glory days, her wartime transformation into the troop carrier USS West Point, and her long twilight under a succession of flags and owners. Along the way, readers explore her acclaimed interiors, the passengers and crew who shaped her legacy, and the changing tides of ocean travel across the twentieth century. A compelling tribute to one of the most storied liners ever to fly the Stars and Stripes.
