If you're ever driving along the Delaware River in South Philly you're sure to notice a towering ship docked alongside, the SS United States.
From some angles, the 2nd floor of Ikea for example, this thing is so imposing that it looks like it's actually parked on land. In doing a little digging on this ship I found out that it's quite impressive and holds many records for speed in crossing the Atlantic while transporting hundreds of thousands of US troops over to World War 2. It's sat here for years and there are all sorts of proposals to bring her back to life, but thus far nothing has been set in stone. So for now she just sits and rusts away...
