The Deadly Californian "Shipwreck Islands" | West of The West | Absolute History
This is the remarkable human history of eight beautiful Islands found off the coast of California. Known as the Galapagos of North America, the Channel Islands can be seen from the mainland, yet few people know their rich and important history. These are the stories of the first European settlements to arrive on the island, the settlers who went in search of the west and didn't stop until they reached the edge.

As a SoCal native, seeing Catalina Island being harvested for reef rock is a sad situation. Preservation of these islands is so important.

Never been on a boat close to the islands. The day after rain I've seen San Nicholas Island twice from the top of PV. Sad that Catalina had many drums of DDT dumped off its west coast after WWII. Crazy makin'. Don't respond to haters. ❤ ✌

Not gonna lie, I have no connection personally to these places, but where is the Native perspective? They only talk about the history ~100 years ago, what about the tens of thousands of years before that?

What a dumbass statement...why interject with mindless criticism.
I absolutely adore the Channel Islands, I grew up seeing them frequently as a Cali girl and even visited one of them as a school field trip in 5th grade. I share the sentiment of the man who said in this vid how he’s reluctant shedding light on them because the tourism they have now is more than enough. “If you love the Channel Islands, stay away.” Hear, hear. Beautiful. I miss home.

WOW, so much family history and so much information about my beloved homeland of California. Was great to see some long time friends pop up on the video and connect with old haunts like Lolo's barber shop.
I want to go camping there soon. It’s been a plan for a while.
I like the word "Stark",, sounds down to earth
Coming to you from Canada, but I was born in Oxnard, CA which has its own distinct view of the Channel Islands, and I am so, so grateful, especially now being so far removed from this beautiful place, to be able to say I am one who has stepped foot upon those shores. I even remember writing a short story based on my experience there for one of my college literature courses. In any event, it was such a delight to have this to watch, thank you!

I absolutely adore Oxnard. I lived there for a few years and honestly my heart hurts to think of it and know I can't just go back home there.
Interesting how this documentary presents the cattle ranchers as being run off the island by the bad ol' government when it was probably doomed to failure because of the cost of shipping cattle across the channel by boat.
Amazing story and very interesting thanks a bunch for sharing
That was great! I know the feeling of being part of a family that loses its land & legacy! Very interesting about the islands, shipwrecks, etc.
I love this channel ❤️
Sad that ALL the natives were gone off the island. Another lost language and culture

The Channel Islands. Lovely places, utterly treacherous in the fog. Used to sail around them with my father - he was always very careful of the shoal rocks.
What could be more American than confiscating someone's land, throwing them off it, and trying to erase any trace that they'd been there?

You spent more time on zip lines than on the hundreds of years of occupation by the indigenous population. Down vote. How about you discuss how the indigenous population managed the fresh water on the island?

This is more of a travel brochure in video form than a documentary about deadly islands. I can't watch the whole thing because it's so incredibly boring.
