It is called the USS \u003ci\u003eNew York\u003c\/i\u003e. It is big, like other navy ships, and it sails like other navy ships, but there is something special about the USS \u003ci\u003eNew York\u003c\/i\u003e. Following the events of September 11, 2001, the governor of New York gave the navy a steel beam that was once inside one of the World Trade Towers. The beam was driven from New York to a foundry in Louisiana. Metal workers heated the beam to a high, high temperature. Chippers and grinders, painters and polishers worked on the beam for months. And then seven and a half tons of steel, which had once been a beam in the World Trade Center, became a navy ship's bow. This powerful story reveals how something remarkable can emerge from a devastating event.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123478118640,"sku":"2940170703913","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170703913_p0.jpg?v=1763715312","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170703913","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
