Hey dude i have a question: what kind of ships have you worked on like cruise ships ocean liners etc. Id like to know i think its very cool that you work in the shipping industry

@SailorVince The littoral waters between Chatham and Provincetown are known as the Ocean's Graveyard because of more than 1000 wrecks there, including the ship captained by my great great grandfather. It is so dangerous because of the sandbars off shore. The waves you see breaking in open water are actually breaking on one such bar, and that is exactly what it looks like.

That my friend comes up past Sable all the way to Flemish cap.

I believe the ship had been cut in two and lengthened. It broke along one of these sub-par welds (though I do agree, it probably wasn't that clean of a break). I read the book this movie is based on a few weeks after I saw it. A lot of the story beats for the USGC team seemed pretty close to the book, however, most of the stuff on the split vessel was greatly exaggerated / invented. I highly recommend reading the book. The author has written several non-fiction books that feature the USCG. Finest Hours and A Storm Too Soon are really good.

From what i remember the ship was a WW2 build meant to only be in service a few years so their life span was well passed

Ho cool, I didn't know that. Thanks for adding more info.

Lots of ships i sail on have a manual option to steer when all else fails, one of them being a 156 foot square topsail schooner, the hydraulics gave out, we have a bigass L-pipe that we attach straight to the rudder post and can then manually opperate it, takes 7 of us to steer without mechanical assistance like pulleys and stuff. Also that wasnt an open water wave, that was a wave from a bar while trying to leave the harbor.

The wave was crashing on the sand bar that was had to be over come to get out to the open sea. This movie was based on true events. The surviving sailors were consultants on the move and they said the movie was 98% accurate.

so happy i found your channel, it has been an absolute blast so far! thanks a lot for sharing your expertise in such a fun way:)

I'm loving your videos! Thank you!

Great video Vince! You bring a clean knowledge of the situations and its fun to watch!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

You'll probably find this amazing but the actual Coast Guard boat that they used to rescue people from the Pendleton still exist today it's a museum regarding that event

I would like to see your review of the series : The last ship. I know there is 5 seasons 😅 but it's a nice one! 😄

That's actually a very good suggestion, didn't even think about this one.

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

So a bit of a lesson to Sailor Vince. The ship here, the Pendleton, is what they called a T2. An oil transport ship from WW2. At the end of the war these ships were stacked 10 deep at ports having returned from Europe but with no reason to go back. So many shipping companies would buy them up. One of the issues with them is that they were speed built during WW2 and while the metal was great for riveting, due to the high need for these ships to be pumped out quickly they were welded instead. Add that to shipyards pumping these ships out as fast as the paint can dry its a wonder that there were not more issues. The Liberty ships WERE actually cut (1:28). Post WW2 they were cut in half. Cargo sections added in and then the original ship was welded back like book ends. Picture a formal dining room table where you pull the table then add in sections when extra family comes over during the holidays.

I did check and the CG36500 actually dosen't have the lights you mentioned at the start only the nav and the spotlight also It was the 50s coming into new laws and regulations. Also, Webber took off his lifejacket to be able to react quickly I believe. Awesome video It's nice to see when an actual sailor reacts to a historical navy movie.

Hi, it is the United States Coast Guard, not the Navy. I agree it was absolutely awesome to know what this Navigon Officer had to say about the movie although it is mentioned that he is from the Canadian CG.

Wow !! Again a nice review ! It’s really great to listen the precisions of your experience ! Maybe for a next video, you could choose the movie Coast Guard. I think they name it also The Guardian. Again, really nice video buddy ! 😉

Although the history of the Pendleton might cause the reason for a cleaner cut

As far as saving your own skin goes, the blue book says you gotta go out, it doesn't say anything about coming back.

I get that you're a sailor and not a historian but these specific Boats were designed to cut through waves and they were made so that they didn't roll over onto one side and the engine compartment is sealed via a hatch that is right between the Wheelman and the Navigator and as for the other people they're strapped into their location what happens is their safety harnesses clip into their belts that they wear and you're stating regulations that would come out long after this stuff right now in this movie it was taking place in the 50s and at that time the worst storm to hit that side of the country and the reason why the tanker split in half is because the tanker actually suffered damage from a rogue wave hitting the hall and it cracked the hole along the entire mid-frame they took it in to get repaired but they didn't properly wait out the recommended time for it to settle in and wanted to get that boat into action as soon as possible and it pretty much was a rush repair

Would you be able to cover Master and Commander? :P

I don't mind the romance in this movie too much because, while these guys obviously don't want to die and want to make it home, it also gives an example of _what_ they'll miss and who will miss them. It's harder to get stakes like that across in film because there's a limited amount of time, but easier when you sort of coalesce "desire to live" into "desire to return to this person." While a lot of movies screw that up, this one did it pretty well.

A riptide is considered a coast guard issue?

This was based on a true story

Never seen the movie or have heard of the reaplife story, so this was just really confusing xD still a funny watch and interesting message at the end

Sorry but this movie is complete garbage. Nice review though!
