She was designed by American naval architect William Francis Gibbs and could be converted into a troopship if required by the Navy during times of war. The SS United States maintained an uninterrupted schedule of transatlantic passenger service until 1969 and was never used as a troopship. She achieved several awards for transatlantic speeds. Many of her original items were sold following her retirement including this lovely blanket. Perfect over a sofa or at the end of a bed, this vintage blanket is in very good shape. Condition is typical of vintage blankets and does not have any holes or snags.Measures Approximately 68” x 91”
