Majestic and sad all at the same time. The former liner SS United States is being towed to Mobile, AL to be prepared to become an artificial reef off the coast of Florida. Posted @withregram • @shipsofthepast On the move.

Sad we can’t repurpose all that. Best thing to do is throw it in the ocean? I know a reef is a good thing (because we’re destroying the ocean, but seems wasteful

She almost looks to be under power with the cloud cover. While I hate her sinking it’s better than going to the cutters

Honesty, I don’t think an artificial reef is a bad ending. She’ll hold life again in her hull, just of a different kind.
