We've all known it was there, the heavy ordnance is safe,it's in the ship and has no primers and therefore is as safe as houses, the big problem is the large amount of smaller incendiary devices and fuses that are stored on the deck above them, the ships structure is slowly rotting and rusting away,if the deck above were to give way and the incendiary devices and fuses were to fall onto the larger ordinance and explode 😲🔥🔥💥💥💨💨Ka booom Good night Sheerness Harbour
“The understatement of the century” - “uhhh we’re leaking a little oil.”
This is why you test! Test successful.
FYI…. Lake St. Clair. Not Sinclair.
St.Claire…. My bad🤦🏽♀️
This is the worst Edmund Fitzgerald video I've ever seen and couldn't make it but 30 seconds past the gibberish of a sponsor!
So if four blades are better then three…. Then wouldn’t 8 blades be better than 4?
It's not wrong to have a steamship with sails.
It would of been really cool if at the end of the video you had the sub launch torpedoes at all the other ships! That would of made for a funny animation. 😜
Am I the only one who thought that oil rigs were connected to the sea floor
What about a video on the Amoco Cadiz shipwreck? Would be amazing!
I read the title and was like WTF?
FINNALLY! I'm from Halifax thanks for publishing this!
Forgot to mention that my teacher's great grandfather was in the Halifax explosion but he survived.
It's a show of respect, anybody who think it's objectification is silly, and I say that as a feminist and a woman.
Bow shape on smaller boats is VITALLY important, not "less important."
The motion of the ocean 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m pretty sure the centre prop was right handed, not left as shown in the very good animation😊
God bless Gordon Lightfoot!!!
Ah yes. The fictional nation of Zulu. 🎉
Discharging graywater into the sea sounds aweful! People use all kinds of weird chemicals when they shower. Probably kills lots of sea life.
The demolition charges helped, too.
Does this simulation need internet connection to work?
Yeah i think there was a few different factors as well

my biggest take away from this is how broken logistics and shit is. how is it more economical to send a load of coal 75% of the way around the world instead of just getting it from your neighbor, Russia?
Skip da ad 7:53
A supervillain trying to blow up the Montgomery would be a great plot for a Bond movie!
it looks like melon playground FR
The length of chain is part of the reason harbour authorities take a dim view of ships dropping anchor in some places. As the ship moves due to tide and wind, the chain drags along the bottom and absolutely annihilates sea bottom life.
5:44 why is the third funnel not producing smoke but the fourth is?
One famous crash is when the titanic didn't have headlights, it was blind and scraped and iceberg, forcing the titanic to be in the graveyard.
changeing a ship to be like this they should sell it as somekind of carbon offset thing?
Funny title lol
Lusitania was sunk in May 1915 not March.
Best part about my two blade folding prop is when it stops turning ⛵️👍
Mumbles Lighthouse, Swansea doesn’t, wonder why not?
As soon as you mentioned the sponsor I go to another video . KZread was never about making money
What happens? If it's P&O Aurora, absolutely naff all usually
amazing
I gave up the will to keep listening...
Is it just me, or is almost every ship that sinks been renamed?
Instead of a kite, what about a small blimp with small sails on it. It would have less risk of being lost. If bad weather arises, it could be brought down to the deck, deflated, folded, and stored. The lifting gas could be compressed in a tank for storage instead of losing it.
What occurred was even more dramatic for the crew.... " ...Confident that the day’s mishaps were over, three crewmembers entered the lifeboat and sat in their assigned positions, with the third officer taking the helm, a seaman grade one (SG1) alongside him and the science bosun in the bow. But as preparations were made, the crew missed a crucial detail - the remote-control wire was not fed into the lifeboat. The third officer stood up, opened the hatch, fed the wire into the lifeboat, and sat back down without refastening his seatbelt. Pulling the remote-control wire to trigger the lifeboat deployment sequence proved useless, until the third officer’s colleague, the SG1, got out of his seat to pull it a second time. This triggered the incident. As the davit arms began to move, the winch system released the lifeboat falls prematurely, causing the boat to crash to the deck. But catching on the still-extending semicircular davit arm, the lifeboat rolled over until it was on its side, throwing its unbuckled passengers against the wall. As the forward suspension ring released, the lifeboat veered over the deck edge bow-first; the aft suspension ring ripped off the aft hatch, and the boat plunged into the sea by the head, hurling the SG1 into the lifeboat’s nose. Water flooded into the hole where the hatch had been, submerging the three crew. The SG1 was thrown to the floor of the boat as it righted itself, discharging the seawater. ...." www.imarest.org/resource/lifeboat-accident-on-rrs-sir-david-attenborough-lessons-learned.html It sounds like the SG1 might have been seriously injured... And so it also demonstrates another important lesson: always do your seatbelt up!
I wonder if they build tugs to be completely watertight from the top and bottom, effectively making them submarines? If they don't do this, I'm frankly surprised. I've seen small boats that can capsize and re-right themselves without assistance, and it would make a ton of sense to do it with a tug.
If it was a serious threat it would have been dealt with given it's proximity to a large population. Sensationalist nonsense
That being said, the center propeller on the Olympic class ocean liners was powered by a steam turbine engine rather than a reciprocating steam engine. So, unless it had a gear reduction to match its shaft speed to that of the port and starboard shafts, it may have had somewhat higher rpm’s? This is something I’m going to look into now. lol. 🤔
Very interesting video. Does anyone know of any good books written about the Edmund Fitzgerald? My local library system has none.
Hey, could you cover a video on the Pendleton Rescue? I'd be happy to give details!
I have to agree with the Arthur Anderson Captain Bernie Cooper and the Wilfred Sykes Captain Dudley Paquette. The Fitz grounded and hogged upward from center at Cariboo (which snapped the railing) and was sucking water from her damaged hull until buoyancy was lost. Her nose broke into a wave and never recovered to where she plowed into the bottom breaking her in two. The aft propeller turned the stern upside down where it came to rest. The Fitz had keelson problems way before she shoaled... which is why they sent her sister ship to the breakers not long after.
Good stuff! But... No WeatherFax?
I could imagine it is not all negative for ropes to snap: Wouldn't it be better for a relatively cheap and easy to replace rope to snap rather than damaging the ship or the harbour due to a rigid clamp or whatever that would not let go ? I have no experience in that field at all, I'm just curious
