In honor of Veterans Day, The Mariners' Museum in Newport News is dedicating its new entrance wall.
Designed by the architectural firm Carlton Abbot & Partners of Williamsburg, the $1.3 million wall incorporates a 34-ton propeller from the SS United States.
The SS United States was a record-setting trans-Atlantic passenger liner built by Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company in the late 1940s.
The 34-ton, five-bladed propeller rests upon one of the ship's original 63-foot-long propeller shafts at the entrance to the Mariners' Museum Park and the Peninsula Fine Arts Center.
