Ocean liner sunk - it will become the world's largest ar­ti­fi­cial reef

The former transatlantic icon, the SS United States, has been sunk off the coast of Florida. The ocean liner, which crossed the Atlantic in record time on its maiden voyage in 1952, now lies at a depth of about 55 meters. The ship is set to become the world’s largest artificial reef, serving as a habitat for marine life and a diving destination for divers of all skill levels.
