    @petergleick@fediscience.org Deeply symbolic. Florida too 😆 But I do hope that unlike this grand old ship, the #USA can be salvaged 🙏

    @petergleick@fediscience.org That should be an interesting dive site. If it settles keel first - it will be a deep dive to the bottom - but from the rail up - should be doable. Wonder what depth they are aiming for? Nothing in that short video report. I wonder what kind of dive support groups are clustered out there (22 nautical miles offshore... not a short trip out there).

    @petergleick@fediscience.org What are the chances the created artificial reef turns out to be toxic?
