Thanks to Capt. William Lynch for calling my attention to a worthwhile project AND a chance to win a Harley Davidson. The worthwhile project: preserve the SS United States in some form. Local 333 United Marine Division and Lombardi Harley Davidson have teamed up in a raffle. Details available soon.
I took the foto below last fall in Philly. The street sign there says, in my interpretation, let’s not walk away from this. 
Right now the liner languishes while its sorry state gets used to direct consumer eyes.
While thinking about buying a raffle ticket, enjoy some diverse fotos, some from this week and others from a few years back: Austin and Timothy L. Dace Reinauer.

Captain Lynch, thanks for the info on the raffle.
And while I’m telling some news, don’t forget the “Tugboats and Waterfront Scenes” exhibit at the Waterfront Museum in Red Hook. The artist, Rich Samuelson, will be there today, May 22, between 3 and 7 pm.

Was ‘touring’ some of my old Philly haunts last week courtesy of Google Maps’ ‘Street View’ when I came across this view of the SS US. Truly sad that the once iconic ship has come to this.

That’s a marvelous shot. Have you been following Peter Knego’s latest blogs on the Pope. He got some good shots of her being towed out the Golden Gate.
And in Baltimore, the NS SAVANNAH is open for tours today. There’s a great online tour available too.

Austin and the DACE Reinauer, not the Timothy.
