Celebrating the 60th anniversary of her maiden voyage this July, she still retains the Blue Riband as the fastest passenger liner to cross the Atlantic in regular service with the highest record speed.
John Milligan, a licensed naval architect with a strong interest in history, has worked in ship design and shipbuilding for over 40 years. His experience in the industry has afforded him expertise to speak about the grace and power of the SSUS and why it is still regarded as the pinnacle of ship design to this day.
