🚨🚨Imagery shows SS United States on an even keel on the bottom! HUZZAH!🚨🚨 🚨Link to image: https://www.facebook.com/share/1E3QjxRYBj/🚨 In this episode of What's Going on With Shipping, maritime historian Sal Mercogliano examines the scuttling and final sinking of the historic superliner and flagship of the American Merchant Marine, SS United States, off the coast of Destin, Florida. Originally scheduled to take 45 minutes, the reefing operation stretched over eight hours into the night, raising serious questions about the vessel's final orientation and accessibility for recreational divers. Key topics covered in this video: 🚢The 8-Hour Delay: Why the scuttling operation took far longer than planned and how William Francis Gibbs' robust naval architecture resisted rapid flooding. 🚢The Port List Analysis: Breaking down the dramatic footage showing the vessel listing heavily to port, air venting from portholes, and the stern settling first into 180 feet of water. 🚢Is She Sitting Upright? Reviewing Okaloosa County's initial sonar and ROV survey reports versus the pending physical dive inspections by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. 🚢Passing in the Night: The somber coincidence of SS United States passing the historic aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65) en route to scrap in Mobile. 🚢Recreational Diving Impact: What an uneven keel or unexpected resting depth would mean for PADI recreational diver access at the 60-foot deck limit. 🚢A Legacy Remembered: Comparing the fate of SS United States to the tragic grounding of SS America and what this moment symbolizes for the American maritime industry.
