SS United States to become world's largest artificial reef

Original: ‘America’s Greatest Ocean Liner’ Will be Scuttled for World’s Biggest Artificial Reef

The SS United States, the record-holding ocean liner once billed as America's greatest, is to be scuttled off the Florida coast to create the world's biggest artificial reef. The rusting vessel, which has outlived its sailing days, will be sunk deliberately to support marine life and diving tourism, closing a chapter on a legendary piece of American maritime history.

Why now: The announcement ends long-running uncertainty over the fate of the historic liner, prompting nostalgia and debate about its sinking.
