Sad time as the Old Ship makes one final voyage to be sunk as a Artificial Reef.

I think it's a better end than being scrapped.

I can agree with the reef idea as being better ... kinda like burial at sea.

SS United States arrived at Mobil, AL, on March 3, 2025.

Forecast it will take approx. 6 months to prepare the Ship for sinking.
