SS United States to become world's largest artificial reef

Original: SS United States to be sunk as largest artificial reef

The SS United States, the record-breaking American ocean liner that has been docked for decades, is set to be deliberately sunk in November to become the world's largest artificial reef. The plan would see the historic vessel scuttled off the US coast, where it is expected to attract marine life and divers. Enthusiasts are debating the fate of the storied ship, with some mourning the loss of a maritime icon and others welcoming its preservation as a reef.

Why now: People are reacting to the news that a famous historic ocean liner will be sunk rather than preserved.
