An ocean liner which hosted Marilyn Monroe and Dwight Eisenhower will be purposefully sunk off the coast of Destin, Florida.
The rusty cruise liner will be towed hundreds of miles away to Destin, Florida The plan was proposed by officials in Okaloosa County, Florida , who said sinking the SS United States could provide a home for marine life and attract divers from ‘around the world’. But that’s if the ship can get there in one piece. The vessel, originally built in the 1950s, is worse for wear.
The ship was docked in Philadelphia for more than a decade The interior of the ship was found to have lead paint and asbestos Before the ship can be moved and become an artificial reef in Florida, the Coast Guard said a report must be done on the ship’s structural condition, watertight integrity, towing condition, onboard liquid loading, centre of gravity and ability to traverse certain wave conditions.
