What records? What's the ship name? I genuinely want to know these things since this ship has been posted a couple times here now.

This is the S.S. United States and it holds the record still today as the fastest liner to ever cross the Atlantic ocean. Now it just sort of sits and rots behind Ikea.

Technically she’s still the fastest vessel to cross the Atlantic in scheduled passenger service.
Several high speed ferries have since had faster eastbound crossings during their delivery, but did not do so carrying passengers.
Some yachts have been significantly faster, but again not in passenger service.

It’s called the Blue Riband and it is for fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean.
