@@yurix6072 I'm sorry to say that Bill passed away in December 2021, aged 96. One of my favourite stories of his was that of his time evacuating women and children from Javanese islands in the Dutch East Indies prior to Japanese invasion. There were two boats that took part in the evacuation of these particular islands, and two people who were on Bill's were a mother and daughter. Fast forward 60 years and Bill was on holiday in Holland, where he popped into a cafe for some ice cream. He was sitting when the cafe owner came over and asked if he had been in the navy during WW2 (Bill always wore his navy cap every day). It turned out that the cafe owner's mother was one of the children rescued by Bill's boat, and so he closed the cafe for the rest of the day, took Bill to his home to meet his mother, and showed him around the town. They stayed in contact until his death. I just love how it always reminds me of how small a world we live in, and how with Bill's attitude towards people , talking (and singing) to literally anyone and everyone, it makes it a hell of a lot smaller still. He was also a recipient of the Arctic Star, awarded to veterans who served on convoys to provide aid to Northern Russia, where there were enormous casualty rates, and horrific weather conditions. Bill would tell about having to constantly be chiselling ice off the boat to relieve the extra weight so that the boat wouldn't become unstable, and that when submarines sank the convoys ships people would be dead within minutes. It's interesting to think that he received the medal from President Putin - he died before the invasion of Ukraine, I would have been very interested to hear his thoughts on the situation.

He was involved in evacuating allied soldiers from Japanese prisoner of war camps after the war, which is one such time that he would never talk about. As I mentioned in the comment above, his time in the arctic was incredibly perilous. A huge number of boats were lost in those convoys, and he said that there was no chance of rescuing anyone as once people were in the water they'd be dead within a couple of minutes due to the extreme cold. I can't imaging the terror of being in such an environment, in your teens no less, and being attacked from below by invisible enemies such as u-boats, or from above by bombers.

Back in the day it did. Obviously, by the end of WW2, the world had moved on and there was a clear need for a new system. it took decades, but UNCLOS was the end result, which also - in the real world - made the Sealand question redundant. As a result of UNCLOS, the UK's territorial waters were extended from 3nmi to 12nmi, bringing Sealand within UK waters (and even if it were more than 12nmi, it wouldn't have helped as Sealand sits on the seafloor, which would fall within the UKs much larger EEZ - indeed, the entire North Sea falls within the EEZ of one of the basin countries, as no point lies more than 200nmi from coastline or another.

@ryantannar5301

what makes it a pretty bad system is the fact that your borders would 100% depend on what kind of cannons you had installed. If you ever downgraded them to save money, your territory shrinks. Not only that, but as technology advanced cannons were able to shoot further and further. This means that international boundaries changed every time a better cannon was invented somewhere as now cannons can reach out to that new distance.

It’s lovely when people follow their own path but with spirit behind us and with us every step of the way we can do that anywhere! I hope they fill that place (as with all places) with good energy and love so bad memories are left in the past and there are only good experiences for everyone moving forward.

This video is a great insight into Sealand. Presumably somebody has to be there permanently. Additionally you'd need resources and man power to sustain an invasion. I guess that's the reason no one else has bothered. Also, it's probably the families fear that if they opened it up to more people. It would only take one wrongly trusted person, and the family could easily lose Sealand forever. In that respect, it must be quite a solitary existence. Your footage was on a good day with calm seas, I dread to imagine winter conditions. Very interesting video none the less. Thanks for sharing 👍

Sealand isn’t regonized by any country and was originally a British naval sea post but then was abandoned for some reason I don’t know but years after some guy declared Sealand as an independent country because Sealand is just too far to be British. So, Sealand was founded and currently it has a limited population. It has 27 people living in Sealand Sealand is also a principality and it has its own currency. The Sealandic Dollar. It also have its own passport wich stopped being issued after 9/11 but is planned to start issuing them again soon.

For those who don't know, sealand was declared a country on September 2nd, 1967. Sealand is a tiny, man-made platform of the coast of the uk. It may look like an oil rig, but it is in fact a country. Sealand has a small population of 27 and is approximately 0.004 km² (square kilometers).

This is brilliant, live his attitude

This structure was built as a boat, with the two towers and platform as a superstructure. The boat was towed into position and sunk. But I seriously doubt the designers intended it to last this long. I wonder how much longer the structure itself has before it collapses. Sealand is a world treasure and I hope nothing happens to it. There's no reason someone couldn't build a new structure with the same idea. A large boat with two towers and a platform as a superstructure. You'd tow it next to Sealand and sink it, and bam, Sealand would grow 2x. Moreover, you could sink it before anyone could stop you. This would also guarantee the continued survival of Sealand. It's too bad most billionaires don't have have the stones to help facilitate it.

What we all really want to know is, does Sealand formally recognize Transnistria, Abkhazia or South Ossetia? And what are its official diplomatic stances on Cyprus and Kosovo?

KOSOVO JE SERBIA I'm just joking I'm Hungarian.

I'm so glad you put a big red arrow pointing at it in the thumbnail. I was squinting at the horizon trying to see it.

Around the ‘60 in Italy at 11km away from the Rimini’s cost in the Adriatic Sea 500m away of the Italian territory the engenier Giorgio Rosa built a 400 squeremeter metallic island similar to that called Isola delle Rose. They had their own currency, own laws, own country but it was invaded and destroyed by Italian army in the ‘68.

So jealous of you hitting up Sealand Zac, been fascinated by the place for half me life. Cheers for getting in there and showing us the lay of the land now - really made my day

This is so much fun! I learned about Sealand in 2010 from the comedy Anime Hetalia!, if you can believe that, and have been a fan ever since. Thank you for making this video for all of us whom can't visit to see it. Sealand is one of my dream destinations.

@@remen_emperor Are you kidding me?! This is WAY more fun! It's an actual place that's its own country. Sealand is incredible & unique! Hetalia is just another Anime. That's booooring in comparison.

The data center part looks super interesting, alot of that kit looks almost vintage now, those racks the TFT screens and even the CRT's in storage, would love to know how the kept it all cool.

The toilet part got me by surprise 😂😂😂 this was very interesting to watch. Thank you for another awesome video. 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

not many can say their family owns something so small yet so badass

This is incredible! I'd read about Sealand on Wikipedia a long time ago. All the history of invasions and legal troubles makes the whole project beggar belief. Getting to go inside of it's cabin, and into it's interior structure is surreal!

I used to work for the guys that own this, they also own fruits of the sea

how have i never heard about this, its so awesome. and that story of them getting taken over then coming back with friends heli to take it back. thats WILD. my favorite part is hes got this plan to show up guns blazing and fight for it, he falls over, the gun goes off by accident and the baddies come out and surrender XD

As mad as that was, it probably worked out for the best.

Everything from the footage and editing to ideas and planning is so perfect every time. Actually makes me annoyed at how little views you get compared to some people. Keep up the great work man!

I am just sat here imagining the stargazing possibility. No other lights to ruin it, shut it down and you just have that beautiful view.

I can see the appeal, but you've got to also think about the sustainability and bad weather of that place. Honesty there are far 'better' places in the pitch black to stargaze IMO. Then if a storm rolls in, you can shelter in a proper brick built home!

Btw sick vid! Keep up the good work

My history teacher in grade 8 14 years ago told us the story of sealand, I loved the story and was obsessed ever since. So happy to see it still exist.

this is epic, as a fisherman off this coast i've never heard of this until my mate said he wanted to fish around here so i had to look it up, great documentary thanks for the insight :)

Ordered a title for a friend... Waiting for the certificate to be emailed. Great idea.

0:30 who agrees that was the best intro for a show

That reminds me of a platform being built in 1968 near Rimini, Italy, called "The Republic of Rose Island", which was sadly destroyed. But such an interesting story how these platforms caused so much trouble...

The story off sealand would make such a good film

There is a movie on Netflix: Rose Island. That is about an 'illegal' island on the coast of Italy.

I've know about that place for 30 years but today I learned you can go down in the base !!

Amazing. I studied this place so much. Great video. Pirate Mecca.

another great video you can see how much effort was put into the video

Incredible work Zac and team! Loved this one 😍

Wow this was awesome!!

So Sealand is the smallest country in the world...Not Vatican City? Ive been lied to. 😨

I've been there loads of times (sailed past) my parents always called it rough towers or something, never knew the actual story but now I do lol. Great video x

This is class! Great editing, great content!

This country is right next to me I can literally see it from the coastline it's pretty cool

This is so British to do :) Those legs on the rig will not last forever Great job Zac

It's over-engineered, it's good for a few hundred years.

Great storytelling, great edit, and just weird enough to be a Zac and Jay special. Another quality video

I'd like to know what they do (if anything can be done) to preserve it from erosion and so on. The middle of the sea is one of the harshest environments for anything.

I have no idea what's in that usb stick and at this point I'm to afraid to ask

I genuinely want to see the sealand build a platform around it and allow people to move there, cause I'm tired of my country and want to move there if i could 🤣
