SS United States sunk off Florida to become world's largest artificial reef

The SS United States, the 990-foot liner that still holds the transatlantic speed record set in 1952, was deliberately sunk in the Gulf of Mexico about 22 nautical miles off Destin, Florida, on Wednesday 11 November. Okaloosa County says it is now the world's largest artificial reef and plans to open it to divers once a survey confirms where it rests.
