Conservancy Executive Director Susan Gibbs Interviewed for Franco-German Television Network ARTE
The SS United States may be America's Flagship, but she has always been a true global ambassador.
The Conservancy has been fortunate to nurture an expansive network of former passengers, ocean liner fans and dedicated supporters across the world — we even have a European chapter! Thanks to the outreach of these many friends of the SS United States, word continues to spread internationally about the plight of this extraordinary vessel, the fastest ocean liner the world has ever known.
In June, Conservancy executive director Susan Gibbs was interviewed aboard the Big U by the German production company Florian Films GMBH, for a documentary currently in the works on the world's great ocean liners. The piece will ultimately air on the Franco-German television network ARTE (Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne), a widely viewed European network that promotes programming in the areas of culture and the arts.
