UNITED STATES

New York in sight.

After crossing the Atlantic at a speed never equaled, UNITED STATES returns to the familiar horizon of New York Harbor. At the entrance to the harbor, the Statue of Liberty and the silhouettes of the skyscrapers emerge through the mist, like the first signs of landfall.

The art work captures that suspended moment when the ship, leaving the open sea behind, enters the bay. Between sky and water, her imposing silhouette emerges through soft, watercolor-like tones, evoking the striking contrast between the power of a liner built for speed and the quiet serenity of her return to port.

The freshness of the colors, the misty tones, and the delicacy of the graphic treatment come together as a sensitive tribute to UNITED STATES—a remarkable embodiment of American modernity and one of the last great witnesses to the Golden Age of transatlantic travel.

Like a final image from her story, the ship returns here to her home port.
