SS United States Lines steamship company

T were12 decks on this great ship. Docked in Philadelphia Pa since 1969.

Fastest east and west bound accross the Atlantic ocean. Won blue riband record. Maiden voyage July 11 - 15 , 1952.

Eight 5 point grey stars on each plate , with one 2 tone stripe around. Stars and stripes forever , like the American flag.

Signed on the back. Mayer China Beaver Falls, Pa Made expressly for United States Lines. Also called " The Big U " built of mostly aluminum, making it faster, with the help of the United States Navy . Great piece of American History , vintage over 35 years old.

Just a little note, I saw the ship on her maiden voyage , when I was 8 years of age. I was on the Cunard White Star Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth that year , and the race was on with the SS United states , who won. Back then was 5 days NY to Britain. The Big U made it in less than 4 days. The Queen ship was used in World War ll for the soldiers.

The quality of this plate is similar to the style of thicker restaurant quality china. It is not like the thin English bone china.

As a matter of record , t was a lawsuit when United States Lines wanted to stop using this company.

The suit was between 2 china companies, and not the American steamship company, and was dismissed.

Shenago China may have been mentioned , further research would be required. Questions comments welcomed. Shipping is FREE cont US only, lower 48 states. with delivery confirmation. Payments due in 10 DAYS . Thank you very much to my repeat buyers and new ones also.

Please mark me under your favorites when you are happy with your item. Refunds allowed in 7 days. Thank you. ( more misc boat stuff throughout the year , as I find it )
