Large cutouts are put in the haul just a foot or so above the waterline. Then the contractor pumps water into the haul to start the sinking process. As water is added the cutouts get closer and closer to the waterline. Once enough water has been pumped into the haul it will start filling on its own and sink.
I think you're referring to the reef pyramids. Volusia County purchased four reef pyramids and mounted them to the hall of the ship's interior. Their hope was that it would increase the diversity of services that biologicals could attach to and also provide some additional weight to keep the shipwreck upright. Sometime shipwrecks will lean over because they're no longer balanced correctly when they're empty.
I looked at that rusty unloved looking hulk and thought, "Yes, it looks like its time has come." Then I realised that it was actually the nicely painted boat near it that was sinking!

Lol yeah right, the new polluting machines can just be made out of new steel using iron mined from a polluting iron ore mine smelted by burning polluting coal from a polluting coal mine.
The water was pretty dirty that day but not that dirty. I think a lot of that brown is from rust and other crud that was left on the bottom of the boat. Supposedly it was cleaned but I guess that meant cleaned of oils and other non-natural contaminants.
I tried but the footage was crap. I had 4 GoPros mounted around the ship. All you can see is green water. Therewas a small amount of the footage include at the end of this video.

This was a ship from south Florida delivered to Volusia County to become an artificial reef. It is now one of the best shipwreck dives in our area. It's located on Volusia County site 12. volusiacountyreefreport.com/index.php/volusia-s-reefs/22-site-12#v12-14sse3
Common question actually, especially from those that are outside the USA. This ship was confiscated during a drug smuggling arrest. It was auctioned off to the highest bidder. In this case, it was sold to the County of Volusia in Florida to create an artificial reef. Think of it as an underwater park. This ship and the reef structures that were placed in the cargo area have created a fish habitat that is frequented by fishermen and scuba divers. This is a common practice in the United States.
There was a circle of boats that were already positioned to watch the sinking of the ships and right when things started to happen this one big boat drove in front any of everyone, kind of getting in the way of our view for filming and taking pictures. Not that big a deal, just a spontaneous gripe, in the moment.
@@ChrisDembinsky I understand now, I would have reacted the same way. Thank you for clarifying that. Well, The S.S United States in going to be sunk as an artificial reef. You might want to see if you can get in on that.
This type of artificial reef is very effective at creating marine habitat. It's also one of the more popular and cost-effective types of reef construction targeted for fishermen and divers. This ship is 120' long so maybe 150 toms of steel. Steel at the moment is something like $200 a ton. So the scrap steel value is maybe $30,000. So someone in the need of raw materials would be better off buying it from another source.
The recycling of ships is often done In places with little to no environmental restrictions and as such is very damaging to the environment. Often the ships are just cut up on a beach with all the oils just drained into the ocean. Sinking of ships is normally done in a very professional way that minimizes environmental impact and so is often the better way to go. It also creates a nice artificial reef for sea life to live in.
The government wanted to make sure that this ship did not get sold back to smugglers. also, there are very few materials that make good artificial reefs that don't endanger the environment.
@@ScubaViz Well.........no so much the value of the metal. It can be recycled. I was thinking more of our oceans being a dumping ground for man made junk. There's pollution everywhere. Water,land,air and there's even man made space junk in our atmosphere. I stead of working to clean up our planet, Martians are now ducking our space junk thinking "WTF". Hahaha But seriously, humans looks to be a cancer in this section of the universe. Hopefully we don't encounter any celestial clean up crews to exterminate us all. Just my thoughts on this matter. Certainly not looking for a fight from who disagrees. "Seems to be the only solution nowadays".
@@GotLove4All If it makes you feel better about this reefed ship, they thoroughly clean it before it's sunk. This includes removing everything that is not made of approved materials, like plastics, and removing all oils and fuels.
Ships are a low-cost way to create a large artificial reef that will attract and provide habitat for larger fish. When partnered with concrete reef material it can provide the maximum amount of biodiversity in one location.
Not sure where you got that number; most of those boats look like personal watercraft there for a show. And, you'll need some sort of authority keeping people back, otherwise you're too likely to have at least one dumbass (probably flying a Trump flag) getting too close with their boat and possibly getting hooked on the sinking ship, or swamped, and then they'll sue because nobody stopped them.
You're not alone in this though and others have posted similar comments. I recommend watching one of the videos showing how wonderful the reef is. Do you consider a bird house littering? This ship is basically a gigantic bird house but for fish :)
Watch some of my other videos and you'll see how much the fish and environment like it. I think there's some links in the comments. Think of it as a tourist attraction.
You are thinking based on your knoweldge, or the lack of it. There is no environmental hazard dumping steel into ocean. Everything bad for the ecosystem were already removed.
an idiot like you doesn't seem to understand that Artificial Reefs are used to promote Marine Life with areas in a generally featureless bottom, to control erosion, Block ship passage, Block the use of Trawling Nets, and improve surfing.
I'd like to know how sinking is initiated

First of all, you get a sinking feeling. Then the boat actually sinks.
@@Never2PurpleWasTaken Typo.
She went down so even. Whether it's the way she sits in the water or if it was the proper calculations on hole numbers and locations ... well done. 👍🏻
Wow this was the most perfect sinking I have ever seen of a ship. She went down perfectly upright.
That is the most even-keeled sinking I have ever seen.
Can you imagine what it would be like to actually be going down with the ship? The under water shots were scary to me.
Great video. Well done. I filmed a reefing off Palm Beach, FL a few years back. Great fishing spot now.

They did their civil service and thats their retirement on the ocean bed.
you can see how the water shifted from the stern to the bow, with nothing installed and the water weight! fascinating!

has anyone ever wondered how do they get the camera back?
My friend and I went in after it about an hour later. Viz was terrible but we were able to say we were the first to dive it.
I wonder
?????????????????????????????????????????????????
That ship would have a lot of suction as it went down so it would be tough but maybe you could just return to the surface
In my opinion the boiling bubbles from the sinking are COOL
Wish they would show a ship sinking from underneath the water line

55' to 75'
