United States: an American ocean liner sunk to become an artificial reef
GlobeAlert Desk · curated from BFMTV · France · North America
Put into service in 1952, the ship crossed the Atlantic more than 800 times. It was voluntarily sunk in the Gulf of Mexico as part of a $13.5 million project. The objective: to transform it into an artificial reef. Once at the bottom of the water, its structure will serve as a refuge for fauna.
