About the Item

BG GALLERIES END OF SUMMER SALE We have five original rectangular pedestal dining tables from the first class dining room of the SS United States transatlantic ocean liner. Note the adjustable aluminum guard rails on each side which would be raised to prevent your dinner plates from flying off during rough seas. On the underside are four metal D hooks to which would clip a safety strap to go around the back of each chair to hold it secured. One of the six tables is mounted to a four-star steel bases which allow the tables to be freestanding. Four of the five have a single threaded bolt for screwing the table bases securely to the floor. Image 11 shows the floor mounts in the 1st class dining room of the SSUS. These are available from a good marine supply store. The tops of all these tables are a sheet of black micarta or bakelite which has by now crackled throughout. In most cases table linens would always have covered the tops. If desired it would be possible to replace the top with black Formica laminate or apply a self-leveling epoxy coating. Another idea would be to use a sheet of glass or plexiglas. The pedestals are tubular aluminum which were enameled either black or blue. We can re-enamel these the color you choose. SS United States is a retired luxury passenger liner built in 1952 for United States Lines. Built at a cost of $79.4 million ($733 million in today's dollars) the ship is the largest ocean liner constructed entirely in the US and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction. She was designed by American naval architect William Francis Gibbs and could be turned into a troopship should the need arise. The United States never was involved in any wars but was operated uninterrupted in transatlantic passenger service until 1969. In the following two decades she went through several different owners, all of whom tried unsuccessfully to make the liner profitable. Over time the ships fittings were sold at auction, and repairs were made that left her almost completely stripped by 1994. Two years later she was towed to Pier 82 on the Delaware River in Philadelphia where she remains today. Since 2009, a group called SS United States Conservancy has been trying to raise funds to save the ship. The group ended up purchasing her in 2011 but has had a few of its plans fall through which included a "multi-purpose waterfront complex". As the group ran out of money in 2015 it began looking at potentially scrapping the ship, but more donations came in which extended fundraising. This has happened more than once since as the group continues to look at redevelopment plans. The United States still retains the Blue Riband for crossing the Atlantic Ocean as a passenger liner in regular service with the highest average speed. These can be used as single bistro cafe tables or grouped together. The Big U. #oceanliner #ssus #ssunitedstates
