Flagship Stories: Warren Jones

"The work of the Conservancy honors the ship and so much about the ship, so many other aspects...This ship is an American engineering marvel, and American design and art masterpiece. It is a cultural touchstone." When Warren Jones was 8 years old he traveled alongside his mother, father and sister (and the family's dog) from New York to LeHavre for his father's year-long academic sabbatical in Switzerland. Among Warren's most vivid memories from the trip are watching movies, playing shuffleboard, and swimming in the pool. The departure from New York was also particularly memorable, as Warren's aunt nearly - unintentionally - joined the family on the trip. Warren also shares a particular memory about the car the family purchased while living in Europe, which made the return voyage with them on board the SS United States.
