CBS 3 Philadelphia: SS United States to leave Philadelphia waters and be turned into artificial reef, museum in Florida
A famous Philadelphia vessel will set sail for the south after being docked at the same pier for nearly three decades. The SS United States and Penn Warehousing have officially settled their two-year-long dispute and the ship will now be turned into an artificial reef in accordance with a museum in Okaloosa County, Florida.
Friday afternoon, the SS United States Conservancy said the litigation between the organizations has been difficult and "drastically impacted" the ship's future plans but is officially settled.
