The SS America was an ocean liner built before world war II by the United States Lines, a Theodore Roosevelt company. During the war, it served as a troop ship. Afterward, it was refitted as a passenger ship and largely responsible for ferrying immigrating refugees from Europe to their new home in the U.S. In 1963, it was sold to become a cruise ship. It's successor would be the SS United States.

Custom Boats

I do special requests as long as they are boats, and around 2-3 feet in length. This way, they will not take too long to build. They can be carriers, schooners, yachts, racing boats, clippers, as long as you have deck plans or some sort of drawings to guide me.

It is easier for me to build small stuff, but be aware that you will not have the details as seen in my larger vessels. But, I will pay just as much attention to constructing it, and document it's progress with my trusty iPhone for your approval!
