I looked to the side, and wow, there was a giant black hull ocean Liner, complete with deep V hull and giant smokestacks! Upon getting home and researching, I found it is the SS United States; a long neglected classic ocean liner, with a long suffering following of people who faithfully dream of its "resurrection." It cannot be toured, but makes an awesome roadside sight! [John, 07/01/2002]
