Lady Luck Sinking, Pompano Beach

[@KoSXxPotatisbarnetXD]

I love how all the other ships are all around it as it sink, like a ship funeral.

[@sqishybananananana4271]

It more or less is, because the tanker was scuttled to make an artificial reef

[@VRBroadcasting]

The sharks playing cards was a nice touch.

[@deafmusician2]

Small marine life will LOVE those dice!

[@ScreamBloodyMetal]

Man, people in this comment section are on some dumb shit. 1. The ship was sunk intentionally as an artificial reef. 2. No one was actually on board when it sank. 3. The surrounding boats are filled with spectators. 3. The wreck will provide a new home to tons of sea creatures, as well as boost the economy of Pompano Beach via dive expeditions. 4. All hazardous materials were removed prior to the sinking. Did I cover everything?

[@trainzguy2472]

Missed one, it was sunk in deep enough waters that ships won't hit it unless you're in a submarine.

[@evanbinder6284]

One more, the ship was a single hull so it was now illegal and could not be repaired.

[@tommyfred6180]

you forgot this is much better end for her than sending her to far east to be cut up. :)

[@MCFishNuggets]

Don’t know why, but I feel like a ship sinking at the end of its life is the best thing that can happen. As if it’s been constantly working to stay afloat and now it can rest

[@emptysky1858]

And also help fish

[@lovekills3506]

And pollute the ocean?? And raise water table?? Yeah...cool. you're not talking a few boats, there is so much pollution and they still have spots around islands where they dumped ww2 aircraft and ships and vehicles like jeeps and such and you can go and watch divers take video and its STILL THERE with trash and everything else

[@lbowsk]

@@lovekills3506 Raise the water table......yeah. That's really an issue. Maybe they should shut those offshore volcanoes down as well. And the one on KONA. They scrub the hell out of these things before sinking them. Nonissue these days. But that water table, well ya got me there. If you're this upset about pollution, stop buying anything plastic or packaged in plastic.

[@williamsmith9763]

@@lovekills3506 How can they raise the water table?! They actually raise it more when they are afloat, as there is something called displacement in case you weren’t aware. When the ship is floating, it’s filled with air, but the weight of it pushes it into the water a bit. This causes hundreds of thousands of tons of water being displaced in the case of supertankers, cruise ships, aircraft carriers, etc., and a few hundred kilos in the case of a small tinny. When a ship is filled with water, that air is eliminated, and thus being filled with it, the ship is displacing less water. The thousands of ships that displace thousands of tons each that are floating on the ocean have not affected the ocean levels, and you know why? Because in most places, the ocean is miles deep, and a single square mile would contain millions of tons of water. Maybe check your facts before typing a comment that makes you look uneducated.

[@rapidtransit8373]

I've lived in Pompano bch. for 53 yrs. Sinking these ships was a great idea. You can get the g.p.s. of these boats. Makes it a good place for fishing. Or a place for diving.

[@gingercox6468]

The underwater shots are cool.

[@gusneaker]

Loved the different underwater sights as the ship was sinking

[@hailzlambert]

This is a great idea to foster coral reefs. I’m assuming there’s no oil left in the ship and it was tugged there, but it’s still fantastic for the local sealife

[@bigmacstack3468]

Yes it’s usual practice to clean that stuff out…that’s my understanding anyway

[@Zenith_V]

Most of the comments- Why don’t they just sell the ship Why don’t the boats help Why don’t they sell the ship for scrap instead They are making an artificial reef And the best one- They are just throwing garbage into the sea

[@hevendor958]

i agree does anybody understand what reefs are

Because as a dive target she will produce revenue for pompano beach. I plan on diving shipwreck Park this summer.

[@fredwinter7411]

What was the final depth of the newest 'fish hotel'????

[@mojavegold-]

126 feet - according to southfloridadiving.com.

[@MirceaD28]

Why no one is placing cameras on the sea floor to see when and how it looks when it touches the floor?

[@K9TheFirst1]

While I agree that would be cool, I highly doubt the footage would be all that interesting. You can see that the water is murky enough that be the time any camera is far enough to make the shot worth taking, the most you'll see is an indistinct blob. Furthermore, there's always a touch of ambiguity of how the ship will actually sink, so there's always a chance that you'll end up with the camera getting crushed under the ship.

[@SoggyNugh]

That was a fast sinking, definitely better than scrapping

[@zarra7642]

[@wingmanjim6]

[@sonnydean3187]

Fantastic GoPro action. At what depth is she?

[@Purple_Pixel]

As it is an artificial reef and will be a dive destination I would imagine it is in shallow water. Less than 100ft and most likely the top most parts of the ship are just under the surface.

[@fab8657]

Just a question: WHY?

[@Kasamik0]

Creating an artificial reef for sea life and they removed all of the hazard materials onboard before sinking her, it will also provide new scuba diving destinations and checkpoints.
