Once the fastest steamship in the world sank. It will become the largest reef in Florida.

The SS United States, once the fastest ocean liner, was sunk off Florida to create an artificial reef. This iconic ship, which served famous passengers like presidents and Hollywood stars, had been docked in Philadelphia for 30 years before its final journey. The sinking was executed without explosives, adhering to environmental regulations, and aimed to benefit marine life and divers. Plans for a museum to commemorate its history are underway.
