The SS United States Conservancy and its landlord have finally settled a long-standing rent dispute, paving the way for Okaloosa County in Florida to transform the historic ship into a museum.
The SS United States Conservancy and its landlord have resolved a years-old rent dispute that will clear the way for a Florida county to turn the historic ship into a museum. The conservancy had reached a tentative agreement earlier this month with Okaloosa County on Florida ’s coastal Panhandle, a deal that was contingent upon the rent dispute being settled through court-imposed mediation. That deal resolving the dispute was announced Friday.
Conservancy and county officials gathered Saturday at the Philadelphia pier where the ship is berthed for a small transfer of title ceremony, although the deal with Okaloosa County still needs final approval from a federal judge, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. The agreement ends a long legal battle over the future of the historic vessel, which still holds the transatlantic speed record it set more than 70 years ago
