Lady in Waiting Coasters
$17.00
Sturdy 4″ square set of 5 rubber-backed coasters
Description
The USS United States is the largest passenger vessel constructed in the United States and the fastest ocean liner to ever cross the North Atlantic. As the nation’s flagship for over 17 years, the ship’s service was exemplary and was never plagued by mechanical difficulty. Decommissioned in 1966, the ship has been spared from the worst humiliation a vessel can endure: the breaker’s torch. A true American icon, it finally departed a dock in Philadelphia to become an underwater artificial reef.
The original oil on canvas is scanned by the Athenæum of Philadelphia using a sophisticated high-resolution digital scanner with a raking light to capture surface details. These sturdy rubber-backed coasters measure 4″ square and ship as a set of five.
