Oze­an­kreu­zer versenkt - er wird das welt­größ­te künst­li­che Riff

Die einstige Transatlantik-Ikone SS United States ist vor der Küste Floridas versenkt worden. Der Ozeanriese, der 1952 bei seiner Premierenfahrt den Atlantik in Rekordzeit überquerte, liegt nun in etwa 55 Metern Tiefe. Das Schiff soll zum weltgrößten künstliches Riff werden, als Lebensraum für Meerestiere und als Tauchziel für Taucher aller Erfahrungsstufen.
