It’s been a long time coming, but at least with it’s final act it’ll help bring new life.
In accordance with the rules of news, I have updated the headline to reflect the headline on the website.
Please, change the title to what it was meant to be:
SS United States, record-setting ocean liner, makes its final voyage
Original title: United States about to be sunk.
Foreshadowing metaphor blurs line with click bait, but its final voyage was in 1969, so new headline is too cowardly. The rust bucket will not be made into an artificial reef.
They are sinking the cruise ship the SS United States, it’ll be sunk to make an artificial reef
SS United States was an ocean liner, not a cruise ship. It was built for getting people between US and Europe when that still mostly happened by ship, not to give people norovirus.
…it’s bound for an ending that is, in reality, a new phase of its life: serving as an artificial reef that attracts divers and marine life in the waters off Florida.
I love it when this is done. Marine life absolutely love these things.
