It’s now owned by the County of Okaloosa, Florida, who plans to sink it in the Gulf to create the world’s largest artificial reef and boost diving tourism.
However, lawmakers in New York City now want the ocean liner deemed a national landmark and returned to its original home port in New York where it can become a museum and theater.
New York City Council has until Thursday to vote before the end of its legislative session.
