Taken: February 17th, 2025 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Camera: Nintendo DSi

This was taken on the 17th, which was the day that they had planned to tow the SS United States out of Philadelphia. It was delayed due to high winds. This particular picture actually would not be possible without the kindness of a fellow admirer. He brought a stepstool to take pictures over the fence, and he allowed me to use it to get some pictures as well. I briefly talked to him about my concerns regarding the towing given what happened to her fleetmate, the SS America, but he was actually unfamiliar with her. I got the impression that he was moreso a fan of the SS United States, rather than ocean liners in general like me. Of all the pictures of the SS United States that I've taken with my DSi since 2022 in Philadelphia, this one is probably my favorite.
