MORE FROM THE SS UNITED STATES CONSERVANCY
The holidays are coming quickly. Don't miss out on this chance to get a new exclusive hand-painted ornament that depicts the SS United States powering across the Atlantic. This custom made ornament is hand-crafted by Mike Riehl, aka The Ornament Guy.

The new ornament is an exciting companion piece to our first hand-painted ornament featuring the SS United States, which can still be purchased.
