Seven and a Half Tons of Steel

Tras la tragedia del 11 de septiembre de 2001, una viga de acero de siete toneladas y media recuperada de las Torres Gemelas fue entregada a la Marina de los Estados Unidos. Trasladada a una fundición en Luisiana, la viga fue forjada cuidadosamente hasta convertirse en la proa del USS New York. Esta conmovedora historia real sigue a los trabajadores que transformaron un símbolo de pérdida en un buque de fortaleza y memoria, enfrentando incluso la amenaza del huracán Katrina. Un homenaje a la resiliencia, el oficio y la historia.

About the Book

After the tragedy of September 11, 2001, a seven-and-a-half-ton steel beam recovered from the World Trade Towers was entrusted to the U.S. Navy. Transported to a foundry in Louisiana, the beam was painstakingly forged into the bow of the USS New York. This moving true story follows the dedicated workers who transformed a symbol of loss into a vessel of strength and remembrance, overcoming even the destructive threat of Hurricane Katrina along the way. A powerful tribute to resilience, craftsmanship, and honoring history through creation.
