The SS United States will be sunk off the Florida coast to form the world's largest artificial reef. The historic ocean liner, which was once the fastest in the world will create a Titanic-size habitat for marine life and a dive site for researchers. The ship will sit on the sea floor as a new underwater structure.
The sinking will be streamed live by The Guardian, PBS and The Washington Post. The project aims to restore marine ecosystems off the coast of Florida. The item was published on 11 November 2026.
