Conservancy Receives 3-foot Toothpick Model of the SS United States Created by Renowned Folk Artist

Last year, SS United States enthusiast and Conservancy supporter John Mark contacted Kusy and commissioned the artist to create a model of America’s Flagship, the SS United States, at a more reasonable 3-foot scale. After taking delivery of the model, which was constructed using more than 16,000 toothpicks, John and Wayne recently connected in Philadelphia to repair minor shipping-related damage to the model, see its full-size inspiration, and present the model to the Conservancy.
