Alabama, Historic and ocean liner
Historic Pa. ocean liner endures 1,800-mile tow south to become artificial reef
The SS United States, the historic ocean liner that spent nearly three decades docked in the Delaware River, reached Alabama on Monday morning to begin final preparations for its sinking. The ship, considered a titan of its time, spent about two weeks being towed 1,800 miles south around the tip of Florida.
Where is SS United States now? Historic ocean liner ahead of schedule, prepares to dock in Alabama
On that voyage, the ship crossed the Atlantic in three days, 10 hours and 40 minutes, besting the RMS Queen Mary's time by 10 hours. To this day, the SS United States -- which is nearly as large as the Chrysler Building -- holds the transatlantic speed record for an ocean liner.
Dan Rounds and Elizabeth Fowle maintain a daily routine of walking to the East End of Dauphin Island to watch the sunrise.
