America’s Greatest Ocean Liner Delayed Before Final Voyage!

The legendary SS United States was set to begin its journey to become the world’s largest artificial reef, but a last-minute delay has halted its departure.

The U.S. Coast Guard stepped in, requesting additional safety details before the ship could be towed from Philadelphia to Alabama.

This marks the second major delay—originally set for November 2024, then rescheduled for February 8, 2025, only to be postponed once again.

The 990-foot-long vessel, once the fastest transatlantic liner, will undergo a 12-month environmental cleanup before its final descent off the Florida coast.

The process includes removing oil, dismantling its iconic funnels, and modifying its structure to ensure a controlled sinking.

The ship’s departure would have impacted major bridges along the Delaware River, with temporary traffic suspensions planned. Now, all plans are on hold.

With no new departure date set, the world waits—will the SS United States finally embark on its last voyage, or face another setback?
