MARITIME HISTORY CRUISE BALCONY CABIN
In our previous update, we shared the itinerary for our upcoming 2021 Saving Our Maritime History Cruise . Thanks to the generosity of the Pollin Group, we're thrilled to offer this gorgeous balcony cabin (a $1,091 value) as part of our Flagship Auction.

OTHER ITEMS FEATURED IN OUR ONLINE FLAGSHIP AUCTION
AN ORIGINAL PAINTING FROM ROBERT G. LLOYD
Now is your chance to own a beautiful piece of original artwork by a renowned maritime artist. In round two of our auction, a remarqued print of Robert G. Lloyd's "Early Morning Arrival" was our most popular item. In round three, we are excited to offer the original painting — an amazing opportunity for any art lover or ship enthusiast.

THE "VIP TREATMENT" AT OUR STEINWAY HALL EVENT
Prior to the COVID-19 epidemic, we were planning a special event at Steinway Hall in Manhattan, centered around the magnificent baby grand Steinway piano from the Big U's Grand Ballroom. The winning bidder will get VIP access to this event when it takes place, including a special pre-concert performance.

THE BIG U CONTINUES TO INSPIRE...

"The SS United States is a tribute to the wonderful days of ocean liners. Some of us were fortunate to have lived them. Those who were not so lucky deserve a place to experience what it was like." — Fay Smith, Aberdeen, Washington
