S.S. United States sinking: Final journal to become artificial reef happening Wednesday

We are just hours away from the final voyage of a storied ship. The SS United States stood as a fixture in Philadelphia for decades, but tomorrow it is bound for the bottom of the sea off the coast of Florida. Action News reporter John Paul is at the marina in Destin, Florida, with a preview of tomorrow's historic sinking. The SS United States sat in Philadelphia for nearly 30 years, but now she's about 22 miles out that way in the middle of the Gulf waiting to meet her fate. The ship carried four presidents, countless stars, still holds the record for fastest ocean liner ever crossing the Atlantic. And tomorrow, the SS United States will make one more record-breaking voyage to the bottom of the Gulf. We have exclusive coverage. Action News was granted access to go out to the site and watch the ship make history again as the largest artificial reef in the world. Look for our live coverage throughout the day tomorrow as we bring you along to witness history.
