SS CONSTITUTION cruise ship

The
SS Constitution cruise ship was featured in several episodes of
the television situation comedy I Love Lucy,
starting with episode 140, "Bon Voyage," which first
aired 1 December 1955. Among her best
known roles was as the vessel that brought Cary
Grant and Deborah Kerr together, and across the
Atlantic to New York in the motion picture "An
Affair To Remember". But the SS Constitution's most famous role
was as the ship that took the beautiful actress
Grace Kelly, to marry her Prince in Monaco. The
cruise ship was also appeared prominently
in the Magnum, P.I. television series, in the
episode titled "All Thieves on Deck," which aired 30
January 1986.
The cruise ship SS Constitution's interiors were entrusted to Henry
Dreyfus, a very prominent American designer who
believed in comfort combined with simplicity and who
looked after every detail, from the funnel colors to
match book covers. While not flashy, the ship
was certainly built for comfort and style. Export Lines said of his
work, "Dreyfus, charged to provide the utmost
comfort for every passenger in each of the three
classes has produced innumerable refinements that
set new standards for living at sea."
The
Constitution cruise ship has cruising speed of 23 knots, with a
maximum speed over 26 knots. That was
extremely fast for a ship of this size. Along
with her sister the
INDEPENDENCE and later the
ATLANTIC, American Export Lines provided formidable
American competition on the Italian dominated
Mediterranean service.
The SS Constitution was retired in 1995 and,
while under tow to be scrapped on 17 November 1997,
sank 700 nautical miles north of the Hawaiian
Islands.
