She's on her way to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to become an artificial reef.
Better than ending up in the breakers yard to become scrap metal.

They finally got a day when the wind dropped off around here, so they could get it towed out of here! It was back in the summer they were first talking about doing that, but it was delayed countless times, and the latest delays were all these gusty days we've had lately. They were telling everyone in the area the times the bridges in the area would be closed, as the ship was being towed under them (about 45 minutes each time), I guess because they were afraid of accidents on the bridges, due to idiots trying to take selfies with the ship going under. :lol:

I go to see the Queen Mary in Long Beach California.
I wish they could have done something similar with the United States.
