SS United States delayed again due to winds, now set to ship out of Philadelphia on Wednesday
For the third time in a week, the departure of the SS United States has been delayed. The new owners of the historic ocean liner now say it will begin its journey out of Philadelphia on Wednesday.
The ship was sold to Okaloosa County, Florida, last year with the goal of turning it into the world’s largest artificial reef.
The first phase happened on Friday, while the city was celebrating the Eagles victory parade, and included moving the ship from Pier 82, where it has sat for decades, to Pier 80.
