SS United States to become world's largest artificial reef
Original: ss united states artificial reef
The SS United States, the 990-foot ocean liner that once held the transatlantic speed record, is being prepared to sink off the US coast as the world's largest artificial reef. The historic vessel, retired since 1969, will be scuttled to create a habitat for marine life and a diving attraction. Commentators are reflecting on the ship's storied past and the debate over whether the conversion honors or diminishes its legacy.
Why now: The famous ocean liner's conversion into an artificial reef marks a major milestone in a long-running preservation saga.
