Thank you for your time on this beautiful video! I live in Oregon and never get to see her ! She is absolutely beautiful even with out make up ! She must continue to live ! Captain Mark H Wirth
Forward funnel smoke deflector, stbd side: I wonder what is that object lying there? Looks like a small mast or platform just dumped in the most unlikely (and super dangerous) of places???
I’m pretty sure it’s the platform that belongs on the forward funnel which you can see in original pics. Chances are it was removed so Big U could get under the Walt Whitman bridge - that woulda been roughly 30 years ago, so if it hasn’t been blown off in the interim then I guess they’ve been lucky 30 years. Or more if you consider the whole ship!!
@@alannewman85 You are probably correct. I was thinking it was the main mast that had to be partially disassembled to be able to fit under the bridge. You can see in this video is in the same position as it is today. th-cam.com/video/imD5lHZcwqI/w-d-xo.html
@@alannewman85 This video starting at 28:25 gives a view no recent tube urban explorer has captured. You can go out onto the tops of the funnels. At 28:41 you can see that the item is on the forward stack. th-cam.com/video/7Tl8OkIY4tU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much for showing us this amazing ship. Hope so much that she can be saved! She deserves this so much ! 💗

She is still Gorgeous even with out Make up !
Judging by the size of this ocean liner, compared to the little cargo ship on the right (seen at the beginning) it’s mind-boggling.
Lov your flight.
Thanks

Same. I doubt this was placed up there by human hands. Some crane at some point, likely?

The SS United States is not now, nor has it ever been a "cruise" liner. She's a trans-Atlantic or ocean liner. A transport vehicle.
@@jeffnew1213 thank you for your knowledgeable comment. I will correct the title and description of this video.
