There is something very Hauntingly final about watching a ship sink.
its being put somewhere it isnt supposed to be
Yes!! Seeing the bow of a ship sticking out of the water only a few feet pointing to the sky, is extremely uncomfortable to watch.
Haunting and sad.
Fr especially the titanic just.. pitch black.. people think you could kind of see. But, once the lights went out, and it broke in half still connected through the hull, the bow going down pulling the stern up sinking it faster, was just.. a nightmare..
It eventually disconnected, the bow and the stern are a mile apart.
Just to clarify in case anyone's wondering. Ships designated for sinking are stripped of anything valuable or harmful to the environment.
However why sinking to the bottom of water when they could take them to ship yard and have them dismantled and recycle?
@@becky3484 that's really only worth the effort on enormous and complex ships in reasonable condition (eg. Costa Concordia) Ships like these are considered to be the perfect size for making artificial wreaths. Plus it gives divers sport.
@@thenoobyoufckinghate9814 Hey that sounds good ,thank you for your professional response I appreciate it. Thank you
This was just my question: All fuel, oil and other waste removed before sinking, and seriously checked??
@@michelbeauloye4269 the only thing that's left on the ship that one might consider harmful is the lead in the paint. But it's such small quantity that it doesn't matter much.
This is the most not click bait I've ever seen. The initial image literally launched the whole video and I'm very impressed.
Seeing ships sinking, or large objects under the water gives me anxiety.
God I know it's scary. I hate sunken things
same over here, it's one of those things that gives me goosebumps every time.
You dont have anxiety its all in your head. Learn it, live it, love it.
What a Wuss...Take a Pill and go back down to your Mommy's Basement.
@@Horologist-zu5vq “you don’t have a legitimate mental problem it’s fake just cope”
Ships don't sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down edit: please stop replying to me is just a quote i found on the internet and put it here you dont need to keep saying ok goddamn
ok

I can’t even imagine being on a boat or ship that is sinking in the middle of nowhere in the ocean. Titanic is forever embedded in my brain to remember to appreciate dry land.
Yea.. i'll be so frightened.. fear and fright alone will kill me before I even drown
On a plus side many lessons were learned from the likes of Titanic. A modern passenger ferry will by law(in most nations waters at least) carry enough life raft space for double her max carrying capacity. Each of those life rafts have an overload capacity of 100% by design so 100 man life raft can be overloaded to 200 and stay afloat. In theory the average passenger ferry could lose 3/4 of their life rafts and STILL have enough space. We also have systems like MES(Marine Evacuation System) that are like the inflatable chutes from an aircraft except ours have a life raft on the end. It's possible to evac and entire ship without a single person ever touching the water. Life Rafts and MES are also rigged with Hydro Static Units so even if they were never launched they deploy and cut away from a sinking ship. There's also EPIRB(Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) and SART(Search and Rescue Transponder) that are carried. They are also designed to cut way and activate even if no one can get to them before the ship goes down. The biggest lesson from Titanic though was Crew Training and the danger of the lack of it. The biggest killer on Titanic was panic and the loss of control of the passengers. While Titanic didn't have enough life boat space for all 2230 aboard, they did have enough for nearly 1200 but ignorance and lack of crowd control cost so many more lives. A modern passenger ships crew will be extensively trained and drilled in everything from Basic Sea Survival, Fire Fighting and Fire Prevention and even Crisis Management and Human Behaviour. Next time you're on a passenger ferry worth remembering that the person serving you coffee, in the gift shop or were on deck directing loading are also the fire fighters, police and EMT's out there. They're also the ones that get you off the ship if things go really wrong 🤗
Yes, same here when I see sinking ships, it automatically reminds me of the titanic, regardless of their size and shape.
You should watch Let's Plays of the VR Titanic game. There's a mode that lets you play as a survivor watching helplessly as the ship sinks. One of the most awe inspiring and eerie things I've seen
You should look up the German ship Wilhelm Gustloff he had 5 times more passengers,I think 8-9K died on that ship
Imagine. you're a crab. just scuttling around, chilling, then that dirty rusty thing lands on top of you......
Or squashes your pineapple house. 😐
The crabs and fish: It’s free real estate
MV Twin capes: Welcome aboard! Fishes and other underwater animals: yayyy
New home!
Captain Crunch🦀
Another incredible one that deserves a mention is the Oceanos. In 1991 off the coast of South Africa, the ship with 500 people on board suffered a critical valve failure in the rocky seas and as it started taking on water, the captain and the crew abandoned the ship without telling the staff and passengers. The entertainment crew had to step up and call the south african coast guard to come rescue them as she was listing. They were able to get some off in the lifeboats that the crew left and then the rest had to be airlifted off by helicopter. With the 20 hours the ship took to sink. they rescued EVERYONE and as the ship finally submerged an ABC news helicopter was able to capture it's last moments.
Wow. Like. They just expect to get away with it like a child 😂
Pretty sure captains are trained to always go down with the ship. How is that Captain doing in 2023? Did he get another ship to abandon?
Trained to always go down with the ship? Where did you get that from?
They are told it is their duty to stay and coordinate the evacuation and only leave the ship once the evacuation is complete or the boat sinks. But they cannot be tested on their resolve until this happens.
@@peterj5106 I have actually heard about this as well, I remember asking my husband about it.There is no law that the Captain must go down with the ship.However, If a ship is sinking, maritime tradition dictates that the captain ensures the safe evacuation of every passenger before he evacuates himself.
They should have gave the first one to me. me and my friends could have lived on that thing and had one hell of a good time.
I was just thinking that. It'd make a nice home and possibly hotel.
@@JosiahFickinger it probably had mechanical issues making it unsafe or requiring tens of thousands of dollars to fix
@@EyeinaPyramid That’s is too less
Yea.. such a waste to sink.. sell or give to charity
Right. Party barge level 100. Wake up coffee and fishing. Free bbq and drinks for the ladies then skinny dipping. Movies at night. You could put a bowling lane pool tables hot tubs full kitchens. It would be sweet
the MV Twin Capes was sunk due to being unsafe. Not because of her age, but because of poor planning of her modifications. if you look at the side on shot of her at 1:20, the cage like structure and the bridge are all add-ons. They wanted to make her more luxurious and offer fine dining while making the 17 mile crossing. All well and good, but they never upgraded her engines, rudders, or thrusters, making her "sail" in higher winds. She actually collided with the jetties several times on approach to Cape May and because she was so uncontrollable in anything above a mild breeze, she spent more time at the dock than in use. The decision to strip and sink her was one of economics as it was cheaper than undoing all that work.
She also had mechanical issues from what I was told. It was rare to see her sailing on the regular schedule. I remember them basically relegating her to the fireworks cruise before permanently docking her.
I was wondering since I thought it still looked in good shape. Thanks for the info
I thought 43 years was not that old, there are vessels that are a hell of a lot older than 43.
tl;dr dude.
TURNING IT INTO A CRUISE SHIP MADE HER TOP HEAVY AND, MORE EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN. THEY TRIED TO SELL HER AND, THE MV CAPE MAY TO CROSS SOUND FERRY SERVICE BUT, THEY DIDN'T WANT THEM. THE CAPE MAY WAS BOUGHT FOR 750,000.00 BY A GUY WHO TURNED IT INTO A SUPPORT BARGE FOR HIS BUSINESS. THE DECISION TO SINK THE TWIN CAPES WAS MADE BECAUSE, THE DRBA COULDN'T GET ENOUGH MONEY TO SCRAP IT.
#2: The script: “The decision was made to sink the ship.” The translation: “The Coast Guard REALLY wanted to shoot at something for once.”
well all they needed to go to was somalia and they'll sink atleast what 3-4 ships?
@Ronald Lytle actually gun's recoil moves the gun up and down a little
Also the gun didnt sink it, they just use guns to put holes and throw some water so it sinks
@@DaTripper ships are turned into reefs. its building the environment. thats why its done
@@DaTripper ships designated to become reefs are scuttled and any hazard to the environment is removed. Nature doesn't really give a shit what's a natural rock formation or an old ship when it comes to safe places for flora and fauna to live.
There is also the story about the Harley Davidson that was inside a shipping crate in Japan on the day of the Tsunami, and it sailed all the way to Washington State, where it was found, cleaned up, and repatriated after a year at sea. Because of the license plate on the back of the bike, they were able to find the owner of said bike.
Isn't it in the Smithsonian Museum?
Wow, that's pretty dope
@@cocolimecream Did the owner sell it off to the Museum?
@@thalmoragent9344 I don't think so. I think they wanted it back 😂
@@cocolimecream Wait so, how did they take it from him?
Anyone else thinking, wish the had an underwater view too with that first one?
Hello 👋how are you doing?
I know the Mexican military left a few GoPros on a small ship of their old fleet they sank for an artificial reef. It’s pretty neat to watch
kzhead.info/sun/nKqKcbWJo6mBoK8/bejne.html There ya go
could have fitted some underwater cameras or a sub. to follow all the way down.
@@wyolaskan1868 they did that with an old US carrier being made into an artificial reef. I think most of us want to see a POV from underwater watching it plummet.
1:36 That "Welcome aboard!" on a sinking ship really woke me up.
I'd been on that boat many times, so it's really something to see.
I always feel sad when I see ships sink. It’s like a funeral.😢
Very late comment, but ships are considered person under maritime law, they can be arrested, jailed, and executed
It's fascinating how we're capable of giving even objects made of wood or steel a personality in our minds. But I suppose if I was a captain of a ship that I've cared about for years, I would feel likewise.
MV SEWOL will make you even sadder..
@@pascalfauzan8968 nuh uh
I feel grief seeing such big precious objects buring intentionally in the water.
boats sunk on purpose may be the stupidest example of human profitability concern...
In the case of the intentional sinkings, it's a shame no one thought to deploy an underwater camera or to hop into the water with a go-pro to get footage of the ship plummeting to the bottom
I was thinking that same thing like I wanted to see what it looked like sinking under the water!
Yes!!
That’s what I was thinking!
The reason why they don’t do this is because it’s extremely dangerous for divers to be in the water near sinking ships. Reason being because when a ship sinks, it essentially creates a vacuum from all the water rushing in and the air escaping rising to the surface, displacing water as it rises. Anything directly above or around the sinking ship would be sucked in and dragged down with the ship
Lol 😂I see money going down the drain lol
Neat video. My dad was training to pilot one of those ferry boats back in the mid-90s. He worked for the Cape May Lewis Ferry(owner of the ferry they sank in this video). I've been on that particular boat a few times.
This video is a good metaphor for life. The ship they wanted to sink took forever, but the shops that people didn't want to sink went down fast.
Artificial reef is code for "It's too expensive to scrap it properly. It's cheaper to liter the ocean floor instead"
Well no l, most natural reefs are disappearing at an alarming rate plus shipwrecks make perfect anchor points for coral to attach and good hiding spots for fish and other sea life. So sinking a ship intentionally is actually good for the ocean
My sentiments exactly! At least someone is thinking, thank you.
Litter
To properly make an artificial reefs they need to gut the ship take everything out of it the motor get all the oil out and fuel so it won't pollute the water
my brother in christ, prepping a ship to becoming an artificial reef is almost as expensive as scrapping, it has to be gutted of all hazardous material such as rubbers, oils, plastics, glass, wires, precious metals and more. and marine life cant tell the difference from a pile of rocks or a ship, all they see is a home
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Oceanos. A somewhat modern (1990’s) cruise ship that sank off the coast of Africa. It’s amazing that everyone survived.
Oceanos
The correct name is Oceanos.
There's a video on that by Bright Sun Films. Apparently, one of the band members was on the Achille Lauro when it caught fire, and made it out alive as well.
With regard the the Rainbow Warrior sinking, it was not two men who were arrested. It was a man (Alain Mafart) and a woman (Dominique Prieur), both French secret service agents who posed as newlyweds to get close enough to the ship to gather intelligence. They were responsible for sourcing and delivering the limpet mines that were attached to the hull of the ship by French divers that caused the initial sinking of the ship in Auckland.
New Zealand should have told France to back off and eat their frog legs.
I’m a scuba diver and these wrecks. Are awesome..here in Florida most land upright and make a great reef
If you're sinking at sea don't call Ghostbusters.
Ships sinking is the most gloomy anxious feeling ever , for me the sound it makes as it sinks and the ocean has more secrets than we know or holds that scares me
It would be cool to have underwater footage.
I agree/
I was just thinking that. It would be so creepy looking, so eerie
There is this video about a sinking ship (these ppl got permission) well, it has some underwater footage when it goes under.
I have seen these ships sunk so they land right side up. They they lay flat on the bottom and yet provide a safe location for novice divers. No sharp edges, no unexploded ammunition or explosives. No cables to cause a diver to become trapped.
its sad to watch a ship die. they touch so many people.
The ferry could no longer be certified as such without being a money pit. It had been moored up, unused and deteriorating further, for years. I too hate to see percieved waste, but it's not like I could afford to do something productive with a 320' purpose built ship that needs a complete overhaul. As an aside, a real tragedy was the loss of "the bounty" the tall masted ship built using many traditional methods and materials by MGM solely for the movie "mutiny on the bounty" in the early 60's. It was an actual working wood and canvas sailing masterpiece! (She did also have an engine) She appeared in numerous films etc, but was lost in hurricane Sandy.
There's an old, useless, rusty ferry moored in the port in my city. It's quite the eyesore, and a prime example of the incompetence of the Ministry of Transportation, as they are the one who owns and operates ferries here. I think they scuttle it and make an artificial reef.
I don't remember if there are videos of it, but there were definitely photos of the AlgoEast, a Canadian Great Lakes freighter which was retired and was being towed to Asia for scrapping when she broke up in the Pacific swell. Quite a dramatic sinking while the tug crew desperately tried to get the cables off so they weren't dragged under
The Rainbow Warrior was docked in Auckland, NZ when it was bombed. The two agents arrested - acting on behalf of the French government of the time - were a man and a woman (Alain Mafart and Dominique Priaulx I think their names were). As agreed with France, they were to serve out their time in an offshore gulag, but the French government actually sprung them from that and it was not until several weeks later that NZ found out about it and mounted a protest.......but the French claimed not to know anything about where the agents were, nor would they mount an investigation into it and go looking for them. NZ had no choice (diplomatically) but to forget the matter. They served two years of a 25 year sentence. Was justice served? I think not.
If you were looking for justice then the government officials t hat ok the attack on the boat should have been arrested and charged.
Kind of ironic that a pansy-assed country that got it's butt kicked in two world wars still tries to throw it's weight around. Maybe we should have let the Germans keep it!
In Eastern Canada and across the Arctic, those men are heroes. That damn scow caused an incredible amount of damage to our economies just to get attention, lied about us and slandered us around the globe, and completely ignored an environmental disaster that was caused by the very corporate greed they pretend to fight and that we tried to warn was coming. And their patriarchal, colonialist attitude to the Inuit is nauseating. Theres a reason we call all animal rights companies "f%^%ing Greenpeace bastards". They're not environmentalists, they're lying, bigoted hypocrites.
NZ recalled their Ambassador, and kicked out the French one in protest. They refused to allow their Ambassador back, even when France apologised in 1995. The only other time NZ sent out an Ambassador, was when Mossad was caught faking a NZ passport of a disabled veteran, so Israel's Ambassador was sent home.
got swapped for a couple of tons of butter.the government knew about it alright.
i cant imagine how many ships are at the bottom of the sea right now.
Yeehaw my matey a pirates life is a life for theeeeeeeeeee
Love how with the second ship the Coast Guard gunners kept shooting and missing, then shot some more and hit the water closer to their own ship. They had to pull up even closer just to actually hit it. Would hate to have the coast be protected by them in an emergency.
and besides that.. they tell us to safely get rid of the oil in our car.. where they just sink it with thousands of liters on board ;)
Firstly, the camera was zoomed way in, so those shots "closer to their own ship" were still far closer to the target. They're hitting closer to the bottom of the lens frame, but still well over 100m away, and within 20m or so of the target. Second, have you ever been at sea, in rolling swells, trying to keep a weapon steady on a target that is also in rolling swells? Those swells don't look like much, but they are several feet high even in such calm seas, and it makes targeting very difficult. That's what makes the Seal snipers such legends when they took out 3 pirates simultaneously. Third, they are Coast Guard, not Navy, so they don't have the kind of budget that allows a lot of target practice. Fourth, the kind of protection that the Coast Guard offers is rarely to save your life from a marauding Japanese rust bucket. They primarily do Search & Rescue, and drug interdiction. SAR does not often call for weapons fire, and drug interdiction employs highly specialized snipers and RHIB crews. The sailor behind the gun in this video is most likely a cook or an engineer who acts as a part time small arms operator when the ship is in a combat environment. This is made clear by the type of shooting he's doing. I'm prior Navy and was part of SCAT (Small Caliber Action Team). In combat, I was stationed at twin 50cal mount and was taught to fire in sets of 2-5 shots until I was on target, then fire in sets of 5-7 shots. This operator is firing single shots with a mk38 25mm bushmaster. He's probably not comfortable with the weapon and might only be on it because someone figured, why not let an engineer have a go at a gun he may never get to shoot for the rest of his life? So go easy on them. They're out there having a good time and I guarantee that if it was you or someone else who has never been on a ship, firing at another ship, in rolling swells, the quality of your initial shot placement would probably surprise you. Note: The operator is also trying to put holes below the water line. This is very difficult because you have to aim just a few inches, below the waterline. If you hit too high, you don't let water in. If you aim too low, you skip off the water and hit the hull, again not letting water in. So on a small ship, such as a Coast Guard cutter, you are about 200m away, on a platform about 10ft high, trying to hit a target 200+m away that is only about 4in tall, in rolling seas. It is incredibly hard to do.
@@el9206 there's some 500 year old cannoneers who could hit a spanish galleon at 2 miles using only gunpowder and a wooden gunners quadrant who want a word about your whining
Robert Haha, yes the best way to not be hit.....stand perfectly still.
@@el9206 amazing perspective. I never thought about any of that
A real eye opener. Thank you 🙏🏻
The Rainbow Warrior was registered in Aberdeen because she was originally named the "Sir William Hardy" and was a fishery research vessel based in my home town of Aberdeen (Scotland) She did fishery research for a (now defunct) UK government department called the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) Greenpeace got a great ship when they bought the Sir William Hardy and renamed it the Rainbow Warrior because she had done very little work during her life as a research vessel So little in fact, that the most people thought the DSIR badge on her funnel meant "Don't Sail If Raining"
Sabotage by French govt agents, ship sunk and photographer murdered. the two French military agents got country club confinement on some French mil base in a colony.
@@joefish6091 could also say mind your own business instead of being a bunch of pseudo eco nuts who demonize the cleanest energy source on the planet because it's inconvenient to their political goals
The universal law is that; there is no vessel made by man that the sea can not claim. That said, it is still sad to see any ship go down.
Seeing the “Welcome aboard” as the ferry went under was the best part
Last one was a proper boat funeral 😢
I don't know why but when I saw the welcome aboard sign on the back of the first ship. I became sad.
About 3:15 you can see why the old tales of people being too close got sucked down with the ship, it wasn't being sucked down as the water density was greatly reduced to the aeration of the water. That's what the problem was, the water could no longer hold up a body.
The mythbusters episode where they used the smallest boat they could find and called it a myth really pissed me off
@@carterschlomann7819 True and the only thing that makes a difference between sink or swim, is a life jacket or a lifesaver ring as they counteract the lower density by making you lighter. Worse than escaping air methane bubbles they're a lot nastier as they are technically thinner than air. Thankfully most are stuck in the ocean depths and well frozen though with waters warming up who knows, could get really really bad.
That is a great point to acnolage
@@erikandreassen6531 warming water is surface water not at depth.
@@carterschlomann7819 The idea that you would be sucked down is a myth, the fact that you go down that is not a myth,if there is adequate aireation.
All I could think of when they purposely sank that first boat is the fact that I live in a 650 sq. foot apartment with 3 adults and a teenager. If restored, I literally would've spent the rest of my life happy living on that boat. Whether it was out on the water or just sitting at a dock. 😥
I was thinking the same thing! Could’ve done so much wit that big boat
You’d have pretty much same space, maybe a little more.
Same, almost same, and same. I think my cat would hate it, though.
Faze Pico - I get it, but it's a ferry. It would (i think) cost considerable money to convert it to permanent housing.
I saw a video of a couple, I think it was in Halifax, that had bought a ferryboat and converted it into a houseboat. The engines and everything worked and could sail anywhere. They had tons of room and could drive their vehicles on board. If they hadn't bought it the ferryboat would have been scrapped.
Salute to MV Twin Capes after so many years of service
The coast guards firing the cannons must have been storm troopers...🤣
Did they explore that ghost ship before they sunk it. I would have been curious
no i’m sure they just let it be 🙄
Someone needs to learn to aim better. Sorry, but the Army taught me never to waste ammo.
I was thinking there could've been all sorts of toxic shit on board that never should've been left on board.
@@susanwahl6322 try and aim a large gun where both yourself and the target is constantly moving in unpredictable ways..... you should know something as basic as that if you´ve been in the army....
@@eriksimca9409 I was thinking they were deliberately aiming to target the hull below the water line... or would the ammunition slow down too much underwater to pierce the hull?
Those two deep sea fisherman need to buy a lottery ticket they are very lucky .
I used to take cruises on the M.V. Twin Capes. As a kid, it was amazing to watch all the cars and tractor trailers being loaded onto the ferry. 😢
You're going to have to add the super yacht that went down today. Crazy!
Your a very underrated KZheadr and Good luck getting 1million subs✌️✌️
He has 1 mill hater
It’s just content farm crap, it’s the same content found on a thousand other channels
I rode on that first ship several times. It's known as the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. RIP, big girl.
It was
Can't be sure but I may have sailed on the first ship also. My daughter and son in law likely had. Many years ago.
lol seeing the smile on that guys face. he could care less he lost his boat. hes just happy to see another boat.
Wow I'm surprised the French chose to blow up the ship instead of surrendering to Greenpeace.
Love to have cameras under water to watch ships sink and hit the sea floor !
Boi, before People just sink ships cuz nobody’s buying them they should just give them to people FOR FREEE I COULD HAVE LIVED MY DREAM ON SOME OF THOSE SHIPS
It’s poor shooting on sinking #4 . Nice video thank you.
Artificial reef is a poor excuse to dispose of a ship
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Thanks for reminding everyone about the Greenpeace ship, the arrogane of the French, and their disregard for international law. They only signed the nuclear test ban treaty after completing their own final tests.
During the coast guard firing, I’m literally moving my phone up to try and see the ship. Lol
Why is nobody talking about the fact that there was a tiny ship in the background of the clip for the MV Twin Capes? 3:45
The guy recording the sinking ship where the 2 crewmembers escape at 7:09 is Lithuanian. I know this , because I am Lithuanian myself and understood him which cought me off guard XD
Most joyful to me was the eventual sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, which now "sleeps with the fishes." (Godfather movie reference.)
The Greenpeace one is hilarious!!
Bring back the old California Earthquake videos from 2019
Which one you wanna see?
@@Underworld5s all of them if possible, same with the old videos from 4 years back
So basically instead of selling or repurposing the ships, they rather throw them away and waste opportunity 🙄
Taking ships & making reefs is good for the fishing industry and charter fishing boat crews
@@troygroomes104 Yeah, but.... That's A LOT of steel/Iron in some cases. Ex: the Ferry. Any Ferry really. Now it's just... Rusting away.
@@RadicalKattastrophe they use old outdated ships (civilian, freighter, ferry and fishing, military destroyers , cargo, aircraft carriers and landing ships to) and I rather see those ships as museum ships, but I understand that there are states that want or need reefs to help their economy
@@RadicalKattastrophe - Depends on scrap prices versus the cost of demolition. Plus, some local governments buy the ships to be used for reefs.
The first ferry looked entirely gutted. Most likely all the salvageable stuff was already recovered
I've traveled on the twin capes,such a memorable experience. A group of dolphins crossed the bay with us. Now she's part of the very ecosystem she showed us
Same here. ❤
Glad I watched this. It is mind blowing how quickly they go, when they go. I watched a TV documentary called ‘Cruises from Hell’, where these people were on top of a listing, on fire, large cruise ship. You’d be sitting there thinking of every regret in your life. I’d rather be mauled by a lion 😂
I did not know they sunk and Cape May/Lewis ferry. I probably road on that ferry. Glad they put it to good use.
Hmmm…love the Coast Guard and the great services they provide…but, it doesn’t appear they go big for sharpshooting! 😉
Alternate Title: Ships Doing The One Thing Ships Shouldn't Do!
Oh and we can not forget about the legendary video, the sinking of the Oceanos
Incredibly sad seeing these ships sink
Artificial "reef" system?! I guess you meant to say artificial junk yard system!
The ship are stripped of valuable, fuel, and otherwise harmful material before they're sunk. All there's left is a massive metal husk.
No, they said what they meant. 🤦♂️
Not sure if the sinking of the second ship was a success, as it was sank with engine, and all associated contaminants, still on board.
8:50 ''I'm good, better than you'', is that he really said? 😂😂
Putting these videos on silent and playing “My heart will go on” in the background
It’s a shame they didn’t film the ship under the water as it looks crystal clear
The fate of the second ship is not really very surprising. I've heard that if you put a boat in the water in Japan and just let it go, the currents in the ocean will deposit that ship practically in Cook Inlet at Anchorage. This boat almost made it! Those currents are warm, too. That's why Anchorage is such a nice place to live. It's temperatures are tempered by those currents and its weather isn't as extreme as in other parts of Alaska.
You have never seen the tide rip of Turnagain Arm! It's unlikely a ship will survive floating aimlessly to Anchorage.
Fish be like "wow a new house again for us"
Okay the Ghost Ship was pretty cool, I wonder if they found anything of value before they sank her.
It's neat they're used to make a home for sea life but can ships not be recycled or something? Or does that cost too much?
The cost of dismantling is going to be much more than the value of the material recovered.
@@lukestevens8735 ah, thanks.
@@lukestevens8735 Not necessarily. Depends on Where, and Who is doing the scrapping. Then who buys it after that. Pretty sure they did it because the State/Country buy out for it to be a Reef ship was more than the Shipbreaker/Scrapper offers. Usually how it is.
They can be scrapped but the point was to make sealife better
The 2nd thing you said.
i got stuck on a sinking boat on a lake before and i can tell you it’s pretty scary but in the middle of the ocean is a whole different story
What happened?
@@bevthebrave1805 it was a older boat and it had two plugs, one wasn’t in all the way and the pump didn’t work, we called police and fire boat came and picked us up and dragged boat to shore
I didn't know they sank that ferry. I've been on that ferry quite a few times between Lewes Delaware and Cape May New jersey. It's been so long since I've been on it last time I was on it they had a smoking lounge LOL.
Finally a vid that doesn't have ships just beaching on shores and calling it "ship sinking must watch"
They should of salvaged the ghost ship it was a study boat if it traveled from Alaska
Being an X Man. It's always sad to see a ship slip to Her grave.
@@gendamgongo6070 I forgot. Navy
Yeah, thats a great way to get rid of old junk you dont want anymore. Recycling costs too much. 🙄
The first one is definitely deeper than 120 ft. That ferry was over 120 feet long and sank almost straight up and down.
It will be so cool to record them underwater... watching how is disappearing from the sight would be interesting...
#2 story: that ship should not have been sunk! After proving how sea worthy it was, the boat owners should’ve had a chance to get it back. 😊✌️
Its very likely its original owners didn't survive the Tsunami
Agreed
I love this channel because some of the videos are ships as a word of the titanic
My mum has the lego titanic ❤ it took her 4 hours
Throw garbage in the ocean and say it’s a good thing… cmon 🤣🤣
They didn’t throw garbage into ocean?
@@roman1964 A rotten boat
How about the USS Oriskany that was turned into a reef. A major US aircraft carrier is a tad bigger than any of these boats.
That sounds awesome
@@benwesley5260 It’s off the coast of Pensacola,Fla.
It isn’t a boat..
I know.. but I still think they can serve a bigger, better and profitable purpose on land or dock than underwater
I actually saw a sinking ship when I went to Florida recently and it was in the middle of a river like harbor
You should always have buckets on boats and sometimes ships to get out the water in the boat or ship. Be careful out in the water.
Like that ferry it wasn't the first time a ship was intentionally sunk to create an artificial reef remember the aircraft carrier Oriskeny she was intentionally sunk too creating the largest artificial reef as well.
She was actually the second ship from the fleet to be sunk at that reef. The first one was a few years earlier, the MV Cape May.
no way that first sinking was what they intended. it corkscrewed and likely when down upside down
dont think it matters to the fish
@@headhunter743 They probably should have given it a little more thought to do what was needed to make the ship settle upright on the bottom like they did with the Oriskany. But yeah, the fish don't care.
if you do a second one, I will get you started with three, the stelar banner, the oceanos, and the yogi
This is a great video but before it went under I took a deep breath
"Artificial Reef" -thats fancy words for "we are littering YOUR ocean with OUR garbage!"
Not exactly. The process involves a lot of prep before sinking it. All machinery, fuel tanks and lines, electrical wiring and equipment, interior furnishings, windows, all of it is gutted and removed. Any machinery or equipment still viable probably ended up on another ship or put to use elsewhere. After that they'd have to decontaminate the whole thing so that's bilge, void spaces, every deck and bulkhead scrubbed. By the time they tow it out it's nothing but a shell. There's more environmental impact sending these things to the breakers yard than using them as artificial reefs.
I love how Greenpeace 'protests' environmental issues but there use ships that belch out lots and lots of pollution
not many ways to get there otherwise.
@@sailingspark9748 exactly so they are creating more pollution, the hypocrisy and the level of how unhinged they are says a lot.
@@jeremyk3320 not at all. That is like saying that because I want to protest the building of a Nuke plant in my state, I have to walk there because driving to the protest just creates more pollution. It's an absurd argument. But, to humour you, there are times you need to choose the lesser of two evils to stop the greater one. If Greenpeace were successful, they would not need to sail again.
