This two-hour journey through the busy Port of Mobile will introduce guests to the incredible modern facilities and rich history of the city’s harbor. Along the way we will get a once-in-a-
lifetime chance to get a close view of the venerable SS
United States, the fastest ocean liner to ever cross the
Atlantic and the largest passenger ship ever built entirely in this country. The decommissioned 1950s liner, recently arrived from Philadelphia, is temporarily undergoing work in a drydock facility
as preparations are made for it to be sunk in the Gulf as an artificial reef.
We will cruise by this iconic ship and share its history. We WILL NOT be boarding the ship.
Acclaimed city and maritime historian John Sledge of the National Maritime Museum will be our guide as we discover 300 years of Mobile nautical heritage and get a glimpse of one of the country’s most legendary vessels.
