Jersey issued the paperwork (birth certificate). Pennsylvania supplied the attitude. Irish-Native roots.

Since everything seems to be getting anime personifications these days, I figured why not give the legendary S.S. America and S.S. United States their own?

Two sisters. Two ocean liners. One heartbreaking farewell.

Farewell, S.S. United States: Queen of the Merchant Marine, First Lady of the Sea.

Even the fastest ship cannot outrun time. Fair winds and following seas.

@Jimmyking35 And then when it finally sinks, she goes to the side on the way down. The ultimate fuck you to Florida.

[Marie Brophy @MarieGoesThere]

@Schizointel Seems she wanted to say, "Don't fucking forget my name!" Of course the question is, how she landed when she hit bottom. I say she's either on her side or capsized. Either way, it's the ultimate middle finger to Florida since they wanted her upright.

@blockedfreq I'm not shocked that Bristol Borough was a D+32.

[Marie Brophy @MarieGoesThere]

I'm not shocked by Bristol Borough's numbers. Reason: IT'S BOB HARVIE'S HOMETOWN!

[Joshua Smithley @blockedfreq]

In PA-01 where Fitzpatrick appears to have lost by 5.5 pts, here's the top 5 biggest swings against him from '24:

Bristol Borough: D+32
Tullytown Borough: D+30
Falls Township: D+24
Richlandtown Borough: D+24
Bristol Township: D+23

Bottom five were all in the D+10-12 range - Marlborough, Franconia, Durham, Haycock, and Trumbauersville.

Not a single precinct swung towards Fitzpatrick this cycle.

Seems in the end, the SS United States flipped a middle finger because she was like, "I don't want to be a fucking reef!"

[Intelschizo @Schizointel]

There was what was pitched to the public. We're going to have this beautiful artificial reef and everyone's going to go dive to it and then there's what we have in reality, which is either the vessel is resting on its port side or it completely capsized the entire reefing project FAILED.

S.S. United States went out on her own terms!

[Marie Brophy @MarieGoesThere]

@GrateScotty I know, right?

[Marie Brophy @MarieGoesThere]

ABOUT FUCKING TIME THEY GOT THAT ONE SORTED! (Anyone hear anything about Alaska yet?)

I'm so damn proud. Mississippi is blue for the first time in my life. #ScottColom #Mississippi #midterms

[Marie Brophy @MarieGoesThere]

@GrateScotty That makes two of us.

[Marie Brophy @MarieGoesThere]

@MattMillerPGH Let's hope so. It's a razor thin margin just like this one was.

[Danny Freeman @DannyEFreeman]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

The #SSUnitedStates put on one final show as it sunk into the sea.

@CNN

[Marie Brophy @MarieGoesThere]

I mean, there are spotlights but they are very few and far in between.

[John Ondo @John_Ondo]

Another question about #ssunitedstates sinking or lack thereof. I hear a lot about safety. One would think it would be far more dangerous for the ship to be sinking at night where you can’t see everything going on…Right?

[John Ondo @John_Ondo]

Just to clarify, the folks who handled the Tennessee executions aren’t the ones handling this ship’s sinking correct? #ssunitedstates

[Marie Brophy @MarieGoesThere]

Florida is very GOP dominated...they didn't care that this would cause damage to the marine wildlife because of those chemicals in the paint and metals. So you're killing a part of history and pissing off Mother Earth. #ThanksDeSantis #ThanksTrump #ThanksGOP

SS United States: The Chromium Question Okaloosa County Cannot Ignore

Chromium-6. The toxic form of chromium brought to national attention through the Erin Brockovich case has also been identified in sampled coatings from SS United States.

For nearly 75 years, this American flagship has carried protective coatings on surfaces above her waterline. Those primers are not underwater antifouling paint.

Above the waterline, these coatings are not continuously submerged in seawater. The County’s plan would place them in permanent underwater contact with seawater, including oxygen-rich water surrounding the exposed vessel. That change in exposure requires careful evaluation of contaminant release and potential harm.

The County says full remediation is complete, yet yellow primer remains visible on the ship today. Historical records identify the yellow zinc-chromate primer used aboard the vessel, and laboratory testing has confirmed hexavalent chromium in sampled coatings. “Remediation complete” does not mean those coatings are gone.

The County has stated that zinc chromate is “not a federally regulated material requiring removal from the vessel.” That statement does not establish that permanently submerging the remaining coatings will be environmentally safe.

The County should substantiate its assurances by releasing the testing and supporting analyses showing how the remaining coatings were evaluated for permanent seawater exposure. We continue to oppose her sinking and demand that these questions be answered before any irreversible action is taken.

Dr. Todd Osborne has warned about potential harm to aquatic organisms, uptake into fish, and implications for seafood safety. Dr. Jeremy Fein has challenged the scientific basis for predicting that chromium release will slow under ocean conditions.

Our mission has always been to save and preserve SS United States, and that has not changed. Alongside that mission, we believe we have a responsibility as citizens to bring laboratory findings and expert concerns about potential environmental harm to the public’s attention.

Watch the evidence and concerns examined in this video:

The Corps has concluded its Section 106 review. Our fight for transparency, accountability, and her survival continues.

In Part Two, we will examine additional laboratory findings and expert assessments, and share supporting records so the public can review the evidence.

Watch. Share. Ask for the records.

I can see it sinking but I've been watching this for four hours now...IT'S TAKING LONGER THAN WHAT THEY ESTIMATED!

[Titanic New York @TitanicNewYork]

Coleen Marine proposed a 45 minute sinking. Is it too late to sink her now?

[Marie Brophy @MarieGoesThere]

@GrateScotty @EVthubten There was a house in Bucks County someone made that was old shipping containers so I get what you're saying.

[Marie Brophy @MarieGoesThere]

I still remember when they tried to make her into a museum in Philly. So sad to see this happening. #SSUnitedStates

No one cares, Sean.

@GrateScotty JFC, don't these people have better things to do? (Says the woman who just spent two hours watching historic ship slowly sink)
