Figure caption, This archival video shows the SS United States in 2025 as it starts its move to Florida on its way to become the world's largest artificial reef. A ship that was once the fastest in the world and measures longer than the Titanic will be sunk off the coast of Florida and turned into the world's largest artificial ocean reef. The SS United States spent nearly 30 years docked in Philadelphia before it was moved to Florida, where it will soon become a home for sealife and an underwater attraction for sea enthusiasts. Activists unsuccessfully fought for the historic liner - which crossed the Atlantic Ocean hundreds of times - to be preserved as a museum.
