United States Line: SS United States by JMGraham.

SS United State as shown, this is probably the most extravagant book on the SSUS … and JM Graham’s final work before he passed away.  A very well written book … in typical JMG style, you probably need a thesaurus nearby to get through the Shakespearean prose of his writing style! IMO, He was never an overly nice or approachable fella… but he was a good author for sure.

This book includes very nice fold out deck plans and quite a few “uncommon” photos. This was only available in a LARGE hardbound version  and the printing and paper quality is exceptional. Overall, you will not be disappointed if you are a true lover of The Big U and crave every shred of information you can find. Great condition .. with a few cover edge bumps and scuffs.

United States Lines: Deposit envelope

One of the millions of paper items left onboard when she was laid up … this deposit envelope is practically brand new. The guards onboard in the USC years gave these to folks filled with little souvenirs, forms and whatever bits they could to get rid of them. I’m sure many of these found some new life when the ship went to Turkey/Ukraine.

One of the 100’s of forms used on board the vessel … this one to track crew status and wages if dismissed, on sick leave etc. 1,000,000’s of these were left onboard after the auction and were probably carried off in Turkey as fire fodder.

United States Lines: SSUS Presents cardstock

Nice SSUS cardstock … these were used for presentations and events onboard. The print shop would have used this stock by the 1000’s on each voyage. Paper supplies like there were left onboard when the ship was mothballed and were auctioned off in 1984 … and practically given away after that as surplus. Brand new unfolded condition. I just love the RWB graphics and coloring.

United States Lines: By Their Works, Ye Shall Know Them: by FO Braynard

The story of the Gibbs brothers and their maritime portfolio. This was commissioned by Frederic Gibbs really as a tribute to his brother William Francis … and was written front to back by Frank Braynard. It covers all sorts of vessels passenger ships, Military vessels. Working vessels (like Fireboats and ice breakers) and on, and on, and on. Their work was prolific and incredible. A very good read .. this does not have a dust jacket … and I have never seen a copy with a dustjacket. There was only one printing … so this is a scarce book. VERY desirable and comprehensive.
