The S.S. United States, once the largest ship to cross the Atlantic, is set to become the world's largest artificial reef, supporting marine life.
Local officials announced that the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners in Florida approved a contract to acquire the S.S. United States and submerge it offshore.
The acquisition of the ship will not only enhance marine ecosystems but also include funding for a land-based museum dedicated to its storied history.
Once a symbol of luxury and speed, the S.S. United States may soon transition from a cruise ship to a vital habitat for sea creatures.
