The SS United States is getting towed down the East Coast on its way to the Florida panhandle, where it will be sunk and turned into an artificial reef. The ocean liner was once a technological marvel and still holds the record for the fastest Atlantic crossing for a vessel of its size.

We discuss the ship's final voyage with SS United States Conservancy president Susan Gibbs.
