USA Today reported that the historic ocean liner SS United States was deliberately flooded and sunk in the Gulf of Mexico off Destin, Florida, creating the deepest and largest artificial reef on the state’s Shipwreck Trail and a new destination for recreational and technical scuba divers. The scuttling follows a $1 million purchase of the vessel by the SS United States Conservancy in 2024 and a $13 million cleanup effort, after earlier attempts to preserve the ship as a museum failed and legal challenges were rejected.
