The 'American Glory' was scuttled in pos. 38°40.600’N 74°43.300’W in the course of the DNREC’s artificial reef program within the Division of Fish & Wildlife on Nov 4, 2019, and enhanced the state’s renowned artificial reef system on Delaware’s Redbird Inshore Artificial Reef Site #11 16.5 nautical miles off the Indian River Inlet. The newly-reefed ship, which cruised the Chesapeake Bay and coastal waters for more than 15 years, will provide angling opportunities and exciting dive trip possibilities on the Redbird Reef. Delaware’s most diverse marine habitat as home to 997 retired New York City subway cars and a variety of vessels including decommissioned tugs, trawlers, barges, and military armored vehicles. The former cruise ship sunk became the largest component of the Redbird Reef. The sinking was carried out by the Norfolk based marine contractor Coleen Marine, which has performed reef vessel and material preparation and deployment for Delaware, most prominently the Del-Jersey-Land Inshore Artificial Reef’s submerged fleet.
