The SS United States, a 1,000-foot vessel that shattered the transatlantic speed record in 1952, arrived early Monday in Mobile, where it will be prepped for sinking off Florida's Okaloosa County.

The 1,000-foot vessel shattered the transatlantic speed record on its maiden voyage in 1952. The first stop is Mobile for planned prep work before it is eventual submerged in the Gulf off Okaloosa County.
