Over 700 miles — that's how far Joe Beaman of Indiana was willing to travel to visit the SS United States in the Port City. FULL STORY:

Photos of the SS United States being pulled by a 140-foot tugboat prompted many to ask how the move was even possible.

Though some were skeptical the vessel could make it through such a journey, it faced 14-foot waves and high winds without much trouble.

The SS United States completed its long trip from Philadelphia to the Port City on Monday, but in many ways, its journey is just beginning.

Looking rusty and every bit of 75 years old, the former luxury cruiser limped into the Port of Mobile Monday with the help of a couple of tug boats.
