    • Ditto. That may be why I'm "turning Japanese." I really think so.
    • I know that, in online posts, people don't want other people to keep on beating a dead horse.  However, Long Beach, California took the first Queen Mary in 1967 and Long Beach is a big town, but considered a suburb of Los Angeles.  People went to the Queen Mary to eat, have brunch, have drinks, have their proms, have conferences, and even sleep there.  QE2 is thankfully a floating moored hotel in the port at Dubai.  I really think that the SS United States could have found a spot on the river near the Financial District in New York.  Downtown New York becomes a small triangular tip on the harbor at its base.  Workers and visitors go to eat and do other things at the South Street Seaport on the Brooklyn Bridge side in a matter of minutes.  If placed on the Hudson near Battery Park City, you can bet that there would have been a lot of employees in the area who would have gone to the ship to eat lunch, have meetings, and sleep there if they created a hotel in part of it. The SS United States was billed as "America's flagship" and New York was the inscription on the stern.  That's where she needed to be.
