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

Philly’s Black History, Revived

There wouldn’t be a Belmont Mansion in 2026 if there hadn’t been an Audrey Johnson-Thornton in 1985. More than 40 years ago, Johnson-Thornton looked at the abandoned property in West Fairmount Park and saw not a dilapidated structure on the road to demolition, but a piece of history in need of preservation. One year later, she and TV producer Gloria Penn Easton co-founded the American Women’s Heritage Society (AWHS), an assemblage of Black women, and, with the City of Philadelphia’s blessing, took charge of Belmont’s care.
