SS United States to be transformed into the world's largest artificial reef in a settlement with Penn Warehousing.

The SS United States will be transformed into the world's largest artificial reef following a settlement between the overseeing nonprofit and Penn Warehousing. The ship will be transferred to Oskaloosa County, Florida, which plans to invest in the reef project and develop a museum dedicated to the vessel. The ship will undergo refurbishment in Norfolk, Virginia, before its conversion, marking the end of a 40-year effort to repurpose this historic liner.
