Sunk for the Sake of Tourism
People will do plenty to attract tourists, but sink ships? Not an impossible dream for folks in North Carolina's Eastern Carolina Artificial Reef Association.
They are seeking a ship's owner who wouldn't mind their vessel being sunk on purpose to add to the reef created by boats sunk of natural causes. Then that reef will naturally build itself up for divers and researchers to inspect the "underwater universities" according to the Associated Press story.
Any takers?
