Iconic SS United States to become the World’s Largest Artificial Reef
The iconic SS United States will soon become the world’s largest artificial reef in Florida. After a long legal battle, the ship will be purchased by Okaloosa County for $10 million and prepared for sinking. This transition aims to create a new underwater attraction for scuba divers and marine life. The SS United States, which served as a cruise liner from 1952 to 1969, will provide an exciting experience for divers while helping to enhance marine ecosystems. Plans also include a museum to showcase the ship’s history and encourage marine conservation.
