About this product

Product Information

Arguably the world's most articulate and authoritative maritime historian, John Maxtone-Graham documents SS United States, her design, construction and seventeen years of impeccable service. He introduces us to dozens of passengers, famous and infamous, as well as captains and crew.The last great American ocean liner, SS United States could be converted to a 14,000-man troop carrier and was capable of attaining a speed of over 40 knots (although in her luxury Atlantic crossings the ship was much slower). Sadly, jet travel put an end to ocean crossings and the all-aluminium ship rests in Philadelphia while groups of fans continue to try to repurpose it.

Always happy with the Nile's service. Whilst dispatch can take longer than others, books are sourced at a great price from locations worldwide and from prior experience I know to order in advance. I ordered three expensive textbooks for uni, two weeks later they were dispatched and the next day received - all earlier than expected timeframe. Packaged very well, books intact. Great seller, updated tracking and items as described. A+++

It was hard to follow the package since the shipping company gives too few status information. Arrived two days after target. Beside that, seller was real quick to respond questions, more than fair price, shipping cost were good, condition and package were perfect. Seller went beyond expected as a after sail service when questioned about transit status. Would I buy again from The_Nile ? Absolutely!!! very very happy!!! Thanks again!

  • An Enthralling Resource!

    This book was a very pleasant surprise. I was familiar with the author and his reputation as an authority on Liners, but had yet to read any of his works. I was amazed on receiving the book as it is truly a sight to behold, beautiful and of impeccable quality. Great photos and imagery throughout and the content is beautifully written and detailed. This is the story of the ship and the man who built her. It details her history beautifully but it is not a technical manual. Those looking for detailed technical information should seek other sources but for a look at the life of this amazing vessel, this must be a definitive article. Highly recommended.
