Mr. Mayer, who arrived in New York on the S.S. United States in 1963, played a part in the effort to salvage the ship, the country's flagship ocean liner, after it was laid up in 1969.
The company's 991-foot flagship, the trans-Atlantic liner United States, never used Pier 76, being several hundred feet too long, said Dan S. Trachtenberg, chairman of the S.S. United States Foundation, a nonprofit group based in Washington that wants to save the famed ship.
On this particular day, almost 227 years after his birth, one of his most famous descendants is in town, the Queen Mary 2, Cunard's flagship and "the most magnificent ocean liner ever built," to quote the company brochure.

Everyone assumed that this sleek new flagship of the Cunard Line would be the last great ocean liner ever built.
The first rule about traveling between America and England aboard the Queen Mary 2, the flagship of the Cunard Line and the world's largest ocean liner, is to never refer to your adventure as a cruise.
The ship was constructed to eventually replace the aging, the Cunard flagship from 1969 to 2004 and the last major ocean liner built before the construction of Queen Mary 2. Queen Mary 2 had the Royal Mail Ship (RMS) title conferred on her, as a gesture to Cunard's history, by Royal Mail when she entered service in 2004 on the Southampton to New York route.
She was the first major ocean liner built since in 1969, the vessel she succeeded as flagship of the Cunard Line.
On the night of 18/19 November, Eckoldt and Hans Lody, led by Commander (Fregattenkapitän) Erich Bey in his flagship Erich Steinbrinck, laid another minefield off the Humber Estuary that claimed another seven ships of 38,710 GRT, including the Polish ocean liner of 14,294 GRT.
