The historic ocean liner SS United States is currently undergoing its final journey off the coast of Florida, where crews have opened all valves to facilitate the vessel's planned descent into the ocean.
Known historically as the world's fastest ocean liner, the iconic ship is being intentionally submerged to transform into the world's largest artificial reef. Marine and salvage teams have been managing the operation live as water fills the vessel to safely guide it to the ocean floor.
The sinking project marks the end of an era for the legendary ship, which once held transatlantic speed records, transitioning the historic vessel into a new ecological and recreational resource for marine life and divers off the Florida coast.
