The fastest of the trans Atlantic passenger ships. Made in the mid 50's when planes were knocking at the door to take over the trans Atlantic travel business entirely. It held the speed record for crossing that was never topped. Now it's in Mobile to have the last bit of biohazard material removed before becoming the worlds largest man made diving reef 20 miles out from the Florida coast and under something like 50 feet of water above the top structure. This photo was made by Susan Rouilier a great photographer and artist who happens to live on Mobile Bay.
