GoKawiilSS United States to be sunk off Florida as world's largest artificial reef
Okaloosa County, Florida plans to sink the retired ocean liner SS United States in the Gulf of Mexico, with the event streamed live starting at 1 p.m. EST and sinking expected around 2 p.m. The ship, which once held the trans-Atlantic speed record, will rest 180 feet underwater after its tanks were removed and holes cut into its decks to let water flood the hull, since explosives could not be used under federal rules.
