Had the day off today and headed to south Philadelphia where the SS United States is docked (and has been since 1996).

Enjoy the video!

Thanks for the video. Sad to see such a once grand ship deteriorating like that. I once read a group was trying to restore her. By the looks of it that has failed.

Thank you so much for this video. My late father, Clifton Nanton, was one of the many people who helped design the SS United States. He worked for a company called Gibbs & Cox, a naval architectural firm that was based in New York City. The ship was a great source of pride to my dad.

Beautiful and moving. Did you have to get permission to overfly?

No. Philadelphia is a pretty friendly UAV city.

Nice vid.
Did you know if you turn off the obstacle avoidance you can fly much faster in stabilised modes? This way you can avoid speeding up the footage.

I am aware of that. I was content with the slow speed until I matched it up with the music then needed to speed up the clips.
