SS United States Reefing
The 990-foot SS United States is scheduled to be sunk on Nov. 11 in the Gulf of Mexico, about 22 nautical miles southwest of Destin, Florida, becoming the world’s largest artificial reef. After hazardous materials were removed and environmental approvals secured, workers will cut openings in the hull and flood it so the ship settles upright on the seafloor, about 180 feet deep. The former record-setting ocean liner will also become a dive attraction, while a museum will preserve parts of the ship.
