	United States Lines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		United States Lines was a shipping company that operated ocean liners from 1921 to 1969, most famously the SS United States.
		Throughout the 1920s the line accumulated debt, and in March 1929 the line was sold to P.W. Chapman Company, and reorganized as "United States Lines Inc." of Delaware.
		She was (and still is) the largest ocean liner built in the United States and the fastest ocean liner ever built.

		FN 6 In its specification of reasons, the court stated: "The evidence clearly established that defendant United States Lines Company was guilty of negligence in the operation, maintenance and control of its warehouse, the place wherein plaintiff was injured, and such negligence was the sole proximate cause of plaintiff's injuries.
		Negligence of the defendant United States Lines Company was the sole proximate cause of the accident and plaintiff's injuries and plaintiff himself was not guilty of any negligence proximately contributing to the happening of the accident or the injuries sustained by him.

	House Flags of U.S. Shipping Companies: U
		The pre-World War I American Line and the United States Lines, although with no direct corporate lineage, were both eventually owned by the International Mercantile Marine holding company and so ended up with the same house flag.
		During its initial years, the line was operated directly by the US government and used a bureaucratic LOB for a house flag, featuring a steamship propeller inside a triangle inside a circle containing the name of the line.
		The name "United States Line" has since been purchased by a company that is running cruises under that name, but I don't know if they are also using the old USL flag.
