With all of your videos, the only thing that puts me to tears is the children... especially the Andrea Doria video when the 4yo was thrown off in the hopes of her being caught. This makes me very sad as a parent.

I dove that wreck from the Wahoo in 2002 ... still have the plates ;-)

Sounds like the captain was in shock or couldn't cope with the pressure

i’ve dived the wreck of the rhone in the BVI and it’s so incredibly eerie knowing what happened and seeing how close to shore they really were. it took me three minutes to swim to shore from the wreck, three minutes is all that stood between life and death for those people

Every thing that flexes has a poitn where it loses integrity. Flex a plastic or metal plate and it will began to crack and fall apart. Add temperature fluctuations to it and a ship will sink, if not put to drydock for repairs.

Could someone do me the kind service of technically explaining why destroyers with raised forecastles had fewer problems operating in the Atlantic and Polar Regions, whereas the larger, more heavily armed American Fletcher-class destroyers--which were seen as an innovative, design-and-power upgrade for the US destroyer fleet and was a massive success in the Pacific War against the Japanese, and, breaking with tradition, had a flush deck rather than a raised forecastle--never performed exceedingly well in the Atlantic and were limited eventually almost exclusively to actions in the Pacific theatre….? Is the answer as obvious as it seems: that the Fletcher flush deck, in the much more turbulent waters of the Atlantic simply let far too much seawater onto the deck and presented a sinking hazard?

Poor people. Has anyone heard of the Zeebrugge ferry disaster of 1987?

Grammar..? people are always referred to as who or whom not "it"

I keep forgetting the Great Lakes see traffic from outside North America.

I find the idea of time travel ridiculous.

Google can tell you how to pronounce things that you otherwise wouldn’t know how to pronounce correctly, you know

great narration, thanks.

I’m no expert in this, but if there was no mayday call, my guess is that she sank in a way that was too fast or sudden for any crew to react.

Love it I know this is a year old so is a long shot for a response of any kind but this is the first video I watched of your's that includes the St lawrence I was born and raised on the American side of the st lawrence in a town of Ogdensburg and we have the Ogdensburg shipping port I didn't know if you had more videos talking of St lawrence wrecks or had or would make a play list of the St lawrence

My grandfather hunts shipwrecks even into retirement and after having to give up diving due to a decompression accident. He attends the gales of November conference every year and I wonder of it's one of the many wrecks he has found in his career. The name of the ship sounds familiar

have you done the "Republican and the SS Cotopaxi" yet. another good one, thanks

Excellent video....and I'm very picky! great writing and narration!

Great video

Admonished and adjourned mean the opposite of what you think and the s at the end of the word debris is silent. 😒

Music is distracting and annoying.

I wish you’d sneak in that song “hoist the colors” once a video. Love these sea stories. P.s. can you imagine navigating the huge oceans by the stars and rope to tell how fast you’re going…. No effing lights! Those were some skilled men.

I think she took a nose dive after taking on too much water.

The title should be The Halifax Explosion though, right?

Directly killed by corporate greed, ordering one more revenue run in a storm while in a poor material state, immediately before scheduled maintenance.

The US Navy is a strange branch of service. It certainly has its glory, but it has plenty of absurd, completely avoidable, embarrassing mistakes like this. From running dozens of ships onto rocks, to blowing up their own ammunition ships multiple times, to crashing into cargo ships and bulk carriers in the modern day.

Another good book on the subject is "Proud Echo".

24:55 Beef island?? Lol

lol when I think about being eaten I also think of the AMC series The Terror which sort of also involves being slightly eaten by a bear pig man. I wish it had been a straight historic movie or I could have watched the entire thing. 🤢

I don’t know why you made such a big deal out of the Switch In captains. The even gave woolwort another Brazil route so the company obviously cared about his career. He basically had the same job with no changes lol

Empress of Ireland didn't sink fast during to watertight compartments. She sank fast because of open portholes.

5:50 We in the business call that 'foreshadowing.'

Was at a cabin that same date, just 20 odd miles northwest of Duluth enjoying a chilly November listening to the shortwave radio, heard the news on the missing ship, storm warnings and notifications that people should not be out and about. Terrible to hear the tragedy, that evening. Later as to the related searches afterwards. Went to the museum in Duluth, saw the exhibit there. Recalled seeing other ore boats on the lake years later, was able to tour one in the 1990s, docked permanently in Duluth, to educate people on these shipping behemoths. RIP to all crew who never made it that fateful night. It's fitting they ring the bells still in their memory. May they never be forgotten.

You mispronounce Cartagena then Avon??😅😅 see ya......🎉🎉

I heard a theory that the industrial alcohol was brought aboard in barrels that were not standard. I believe the person said that normally red oak was used for this but for some reason at least part of the alcohol was in white oak barrels which is much more porous. This person’s theory was that the crew could smell the alcohol and because they were concerned about combustion they opened the hatch to ventilate the hold and everyone got into the lifeboat as a safety precaution. He then said that somehow a line they would have left connected to the ship must have become unattached and because they had got off so quickly they had left the sails up so a bit of breeze catches the sails and goodbye ship. This explains the lack of evidence of violence and why the sextant was missing but not much else. They got off just in case of combustion and they expected to be in the lifeboat for only a short while, but somebody messed up a knot or two and they watched the ship leave them behind. This is certainly the most believable theory I have heard, especially since he did a demonstration where he dunked a piece of white oak in soapy water and then when he applied air into the cut edge it bubbled like mad. It looked like when a little kid uses a straw to blow bubbles in their milk.

Regardless of my previous comment, that was a good story, well illustrated and excellently told.

Actually a two month crossing wouldn’t be that bad if she was two months old when they set sail. She likely would have done lots of sleeping anyway so the movement of the ocean would probably only have helped.

Some of the ships mentioned as wrecked in the 1840s and later do not seem to appear on the RMSPC list nor in Lloyds. Some cases may be a result of mispronunciation. Lloyds List tends to be reliable as they would have been the insurers. Source footnotes would be helpful.

In 2004 I was surfing a particularly nasty reef break. I was inexperienced and cocky, so I took on waves I wasn't ready for. Long story short, the wave took me down, and slammed me on my back, breaking three vertebrae (T12 to L2). I couldn't feel my legs, and right there I thought I was paralyzed. As my thoughts drifted, I couldn't focus on the fact that I was going to drown. I heard a voice call my name. Nothing else, it just said "Eric". Clearly and calmly. As I was alone where I was, it really made an impact, and my brain started clearing, and my adrenaline kicked in. I pulled myself up on my board using the leash fastened to my right ankle, and took the current out, but to this day I couldn't understand what voice I heard. It's nice to know I'm not nuts, so thank you Dennis.

Totally late to the comments, but Ship (Schiff) in German is not pronounced "shaif" (like wife) but "shif" (like whiff). If you should for some reason see this comment (highly unlikely) just input the word into Google translate and let it pronounce the word in the native language, then you know how it sounds.

Woooooaaaagghaaaaahhooohuuhhoohuhohuhohuhobuho

. . . RMS Isis?🤔

Next you're going to tell me the earth is actually round.

Lifeboats seem over-rated.

"Guess this will be my last message, goodbye boys" That got me crying

This is an excellent video. I have not seen anything this indepth on the Edmund Fitzgerald

This has been mentioned in another video about the scuttling procedures, but the automatic detonation override did not work because Ripley did not do it correctly. Most people assume she wasn't quick enough, but on the emergency destruct system panel it clearly states: *"FAILSAFE SYSTEM WILL NOT ENGAGE IF SAFETY INTERLOCKS ARE DISENGAGED. REENGAGE SAFETY INTERLOCKS PRIOR TO ABORT CODE INPUT"* She failed to commit the abort procedure in the correct order.

never visually saw ? how else do you see ?

I do not have navy tattos however I have tattoos (quite s few) and my navy-inspired one is a compass for my first son as he brought me home. It is the old fashion one with a long chain ⛓️. I love it!

Im not sure how much you can add to it but there is very similarly the Texas City disaster in '47 where the SS Grandcamp and SS high flyer had holds with ammonium nitrate causing two explosions when they caught fire.

3:24 thats a lovely hat, but it wasn't enough to protect him from the feaesome gaze of the moon people.
