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

New Schuylkill River swing bridge debuts today

The swing bridge over the Schuylkill River opens for business on Friday. Why it matters: The pedestrian walkway — officially dubbed Schuylkill Crossing — fills a gap along the Schuylkill River Trail to unite South and Southwest Philly. The big picture: It's the latest and splashiest addition to the city's trail network since the nearby Christian to Crescent Trail Connector went online last year. State of play: The $28-million rehabilitation project converts the long-defunct railroad bridge into a pedestrian walkway for the first time. The bridge is 225 feet long, linking to a pair of spans on the banks of the river that are 95 feet each. Overall, the project adds a little less than a mile of new trail to the network. Worth noting: The bridge will sometimes swing open to allow for river traffic. But those closures to pedestrians will be brief: The bridge needs roughly 3 minutes to open and another 3 to close. ✨ 1 notable thing: The new span is the only public swing bridge in the city. Zoom in: The swing bridge creates 4.7 miles of uninterrupted trails from Bartram's Garden to the Fairmount Water Works beside the Philadelphia Museum of Art. How to
