The S.S. United States arrived in Mobile, Alabama yesterday--a couple of days ahead of the two weeks the trip was expected to take; its towing from the Philadelphia waterfront began on February 19th.
The ship, as noted in a news story below, will undergo months of preparations in Alabama, before its ultimate sinking, off of Florida's Gulf Coast; the ship, with its sinking, will become the world's largest artificial reef. (Some reports, in the past months, have indicated that the preparations in Alabama--which will include the remedying of any potential environmental hazards--could take as long as a year.)
The story below, about the ship's arrival in Mobile, is from the Alabama news site AL.com.
