The SS United States will soon rest at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico off Destin, Florida, creating the world's largest artificial reef. It will be prepped in Mobile, Alabama before it sinks. That could take a year.

Plans to move the SS United States may have been halted due to weather concerns in the Gulf of Mexico, but dozens of people stuck to a schedule and took a cruise on the Spirit of Philadelphia to see an up-close look of the ocean liner.

The planned move of the decommissioned former cruise liner SS United States from Philadelphia to the Gulf of Mexico has been delayed due to logistics issues, its owner said this week.
