The SS United States is finally leaving South Philly . The once proud vessel that used to be the gold standard of the past just rotted in obscurity for almost 30 years. Like the Dallas Cowboys.  If you didn’t know, the ship that you pass by on the way down to the Birds game has succumbed to what a lot of old people in Philly do. Move to Florida. Her legacy is now becoming the largest man-made reef ever. The view from the Miller’s Ale House will never be the same:

Why didn’t anyone tell me what I was missing out on when this ship’s departure kept getting delayed. This entire thing was ELECTRIC! I was locked in.

This might be better than YouTube’s multi-view option on Sunday Ticket:

And if you’re thinking, “Kyle shut up. It’s just a stupid boat that was rotting and taking up dock space.” Well tell that to this guy chasing after her to get one last goodbye in:


I had no idea if she was going to get under the Walt Whitman. This thing is a behemoth! Look at it totally dwarf the Ben Franklin Bridge:

Apparently it was all about the tides. High tide no chance. Low tide they were good.


It was still close:

Then her moment was cucked by this guy. Jersey drivers amirite?

P.S. Go Birds:
