and now so will the ship itself:

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

The Blue Ribbon became meaningless in the jet age.

It's "Riband",actually,aka the Hales Trophy...and I
think the trustees have erred in deeming multihulls
eligible and thus claiming the SS US superseded.

Would like to see a faster monohull liner created!
