Auf Wunsch von Bill Lee hin, dem "inoffiziellen Historiker" der SS AMERICA und Autor etlicher unserer Beiträge über das Schiff, der auch unsere "Mission" im Jahr 2007 angeregt hatte, haben wir ein kurzes Erinnerungsvideo zu unserem damaligen Hubschrauberflug über das Wrack gedreht. Dieses Video ist den Veteranen der USS West Point gewidmet ...

• Many thank's for the very touching tribute to an extremely proud ship, and all those who sailed in Her.
  I feel honored to have had been a part of the team of shipbuilders who built and brought Her to life back in 1940.
