If you remember my post from Sunday, I showed you the route of the S.S. United States would pass so far off our coast we wouldn’t see it. That was a bummer. Sure would’ve been cool to see it.

Well today, it was close enough to the Florida coast that it was easily seen. What an awesome sight! This cool photo was taken by my friend, Craig Setzer in Fort Lauderdale.

FYI - The SS United States is a retired American ocean liner that was built during 1950 and 1951. It was operational from 1952 to 1969 and was primarily used as a transatlantic passenger line transporting celebrities and dignitaries.

Its final voyage will take it to Mobile, AL where it will be stripped of any environmentally hazardous material. From there, it will be sunk roughly 20 miles offshore from Destin-Fort Walton Beach, Florida and become a massive artificial reef.
