I watched TV coverage as she sank about 10pm last night. It took a lot longer than they thought, she didn't give up easy.

i watched it almost all day... i know they moved up a day for weather, but man o man it took hours to even start to drop down even a foot,
was very confused at why they had the tug push it towards the port side list

The tug was holding it in place. It just took a long time to flood all those spaces. But when it went at the end it went quick

iirc the divers should be allowed to inspect the condition tomorrow if weather front permits
they had fantastic weather yesterday.. really wish they had planned better for NIGHT time and LIGHTING. it was really sort of sad in a way to watch her go
reminded me of the USS Saratoga, i spent a few years as ships company aboard her
she was decomed in 1995 irc.
i saw her in rhode island at the navy yard in 2000
she looked beat down, almost crying tears of rust and the bow looked like it was slumped down , very moving,
she looked like she lost all her energy .
yeah i know sailors and our ships, but she was great part of my life
i can imagine passengers and crew that sailed on the SS United States have some feelings as well,,, if there are any left alive
