A coalition of preservationists and environmentalists is racing to save the SS United States, the largest and most famous ocean liner ever built in the United States.

The celebrated vessel, launched in 1951 and bigger than the Titanic, still holds the transatlantic speed record and remains a symbol of America’s proud maritime history, members of the ‘New York Coalition to Save the SS United States’ said Thursday.

The coalition includes Brooklyn industrialist John Quadrozzi Jr., members of the Lower Manhattan Historical Association and others.

Police, who said they responded to a 911 call triggered by a ShotSpotter activation around 2:48 a.m., identified the victim as Jordan Dillard, 23, a resident of 37 Centre Mall at the Red Hook East NYCHA project, roughly a mile away from the park.

“It was nine shots,” said Carroll Gardens resident John Thompson. “Clearly from a semi-automatic. A burst of five, then one, then three.”
