Where do you get your news?
Hello fellow SS United States supporters!
The Foundation is working to expand how it gets information on our efforts and the latest on the status of the ship to all of you! To do that, we’d like to conduct an unofficial poll. Please respond to the following question, and thank you in advance!
What’s your first “go to” source for news of a topic you are interested in? Is it a particular website? A news source? A google or bing news search? Social media websites like Facebook and Twitter? An IPhone or Android app?
Comments are welcome and appreciated.
Thank you!

Foundation chairman interviewed by DNAinfo.com!
Nicole Breskin, a reporter at DNAinfo.com, a Manhattan local news based website, interviewed Foundation Chairman Dan Trachtenberg on January 6, 2010 to discuss the plight of the SS United States. As the ship sailed from Pier 86 in New York throughout it’s career, she was most interested to learn more about the history of the ship. Here’s the link to the article!
