ARTIFACT: This is a 1950s framed promotional print for the USS United States, flagship of the United States Line. Begun in 1921, United States Lines was originally a shipping company. They debuted the USS United States in 1952 as the fastest ocean liner and the boat, although retired to Philadelphia, actually still holds the Blue Riband – the award for the fastest transatlantic speed record. The print is signed by the artist.
