SS United States to be sunk as world's largest artificial reef

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

The SS United States, the record-holding ocean liner that has been moored and slowly deteriorating for decades, is set to be intentionally sunk off the Florida coast in November to become the world's largest artificial reef. The plan ends long-running efforts to find a preservation use for the historic vessel, and divers and maritime enthusiasts are debating whether reefing is a fitting end for the ship.

Why now: The announcement marks the final chapter for an iconic American liner and has sparked debate between reef supporters and preservationists.
