The stewards of the SS United States, also known as the Ikea Boat and formerly the “Queen of the Seas,” have asked a federal judge to let the vessel stay in its South Philadelphia berth until December.

In its court filing, the SS United States Conservancy argued that an additional 90 days are needed to sort out the complicated logistics of moving an almost 1,000-foot ocean liner that hasn’t been capable of self-propulsion for decades. It would also help postpone the move until after the hurricane season.

“America’s Flagship is in a race against time,” said Conservancy president Susan Gibbs in a statement. “While we are doing everything possible to meet the court’s deadline, some factors are beyond the Conservancy’s control.”
