SS United States, long docked in Philly, goes under the waves

The formerly Philadelphia-docked SS United States now rests at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Why it matters: So ends the vessel's strange odyssey from the United States' largest ocean liner to Philly landmark to world's largest artificial reef . Driving the news: The controlled sinking began Wednesday afternoon roughly 22 nautical miles southwest of Destin-Fort Walton Beach in the Florida Panhandle. The sinking was slow going and stretched on for hours, but it was all over around 10pm when the ship fully disappeared into the water. Zoom in: The SS United States now joins a smorgasbord of other sunken vessels and artificial reefs for divers to explore off the beach. Plus: The ship's iconic red-white-and-blue smokestacks, as well as radar mast and a massive five-blade propeller were removed before the sinking — all of which will be incorporated into a land-based museum for the ship nearby. 👷 How it works: No explosives were used to sink the ship. Instead, crews strategically placed openings in the ship's hull and underwent a controlled flooding, which allowed it to rest in an upright position on the Gulf floor. Several compartments and lower deck areas that were deemed unsafe were also sealed

The Rumor About Moving Students Into the M.E. Costello Property Is True

GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (November 11, 2026) — For some time, a rumor about reopening the abandoned Mary Ethel Costello School has circulated throughout the community. The Gloucester City Board of Education deeded the building, assessed at more than $1 million, to the Gloucester City taxpayers several years ago. The school was vacated in 2017- 2018 when students from the elementary school were relocated to the new $90 million Gloucester City Middle School a few blocks away.

Begun in 2018, the $28 million project promises to safely and accessibly connect Southwest Philly and Center City. Pedestrians and cyclists celebrate this weekend.
