The SS ''Constitution'' was an ocean liner owned by American Export Lines. Commissioned in 1951, she started her long career sailing on the New York-Genoa-Naples-Gibraltar route to Europe. ''Constitution'' was a sister ship to the SS ''Independence''. SS Constitution was featured in several episodes of the situation comedy ''I Love Lucy'' starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, starting with episode 140, "Bon Voyage," aired December 1, 1955. Lucy Ricardo missed the ship and had to be ferried by air by a then-novel helicopter. American movie actress Grace Kelly sailed aboard SS ''Constitution'' from New York to Monaco for her wedding to Prince Rainier in 1956. SS ''Constitution'' was featured in the 1957 film, ''An Affair to Remember'' starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. She was also featured in the beginning and end of an episode of the ''Naked City'' TV series titled "No Naked Ladies in Front of Giovanni's House!" aired April 17, 1963. The ship also featured prominently in the ''Magnum, P.I.'' television series episode titled "All Thieves on Deck" aired January 30, 1986. Following service on American Export's "Sunlane" cruise to Europe in the '50s and '60s the two ships sailed for American Hawaii Cruises for many years in the '80s and '90s; as U.S. ships with U.S. crews meeting the criteria of the Passenger Services Act they were able to cruise the Islands without sailing to a foreign port. SS ''Constitution'' was retired in 1995; while under tow to be scrapped, the liner sank north of the Hawaiian Islands on November 17, 1997; . == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SS Constitution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
