Additional Information
Created around 1955 by John S. Smith for United States Lines, this dynamic poster depicts the SS United States surging through Atlantic waters. The composition captures the sleek profile of what remains the fastest ocean liner ever to cross the Atlantic, a record established on her 1952 maiden voyage.
Designed by naval architect William Francis Gibbs and measuring 990 feet, the vessel captured the Blue Riband on her 1952 maiden voyage by crossing the Atlantic in just three days and ten hours. She became the first American ship in a century to hold the prestigious transatlantic speed record.
United States Lines, formed in 1921 to operate seized German vessels after the First World War, grew into a premier American transatlantic carrier. The SS United States served as flagship from 1952 until 1969, when commercial jet aviation brought the storied era of great ocean liners to its close.
This reproduction from the Library of Congress collection preserves a striking example of mid-century maritime advertising at its most aspirational. It appeals to collectors of vintage ocean liner art, American naval heritage, and the celebrated postwar era when passenger vessels embodied national pride and engineering ambition.
