Can This Woman Save the United States? #

Susan Gibbs is on a mission to save a historic ocean liner. She needs to find a new home for the ship within weeks to prevent it from being scrapped or sunk. The ship, called the United States, is larger than the Titanic and was known for its luxury and speed. Ms. Gibbs, the granddaughter of the ship’s designer, has dedicated her life to preserving its legacy. Despite her current focus on advocating against genital cutting of women, she remains committed to saving the ship.
