So traurig 😢 Unser schönes Helgolandschiff..

Happy memories working on her as mate in 95. Great crew. Capt. Morse was a legend!

It's quite strange seeing this video once again after my last watching of it. But wow, some of these photos of Mercator II (Wappen Von Hamburg) are quite liminal like without anybody seen in plain sight. Specifically this photo at 0:42 , it looks incredibly liminal without anyone seen. All you could see are the street lights, the light of that car in the back, and the flashing light of the camera hitting the Mercator II. This photo at 0:56 is also another example of being incredibly liminal, its even more darker than the one that i've mentioned above and a lot more lonely.

Omg, that's me on board holding the "Cenred" Lifebelt!. Sad times for these vessels, but made up with the great guys at Smedegarden.

Richtig traurig in echt 😢😢😭

Milburn westport from New Zealand

thanks for this video it would have earned something else if you knew his story. I have worked on the ship and I miss the time on her it is true a beautiful ship, I will not forget it

On line.

I remember sailing on Our Lady Pamela back on the 18th August 1991 crossing over to the Isle of Wight with my wife on our Honeymoon . My wife was taken aback as to how fast the crossing was on these vessels . So sad to see a great vessel coming to its end of life . Thank you for your service to the Beautiful Isle of Wight .

I remember sailing on Our Lady Pamela so heartbreaking seeing her being broken down x my mums name is Pamela and we always used to joke she was named after her x I'm originally from the island

Wow👍

Yup could of been the new. Wizard

Wait a minute. Kieth. Colburn was just saying that his boatwas full of holes. N pipes. Was braking. Maybehe can get one of these. Cheap

😔😔😔

The video brought tears to my eyes. In summer of 1974 I was a member of the crew of Wappen von Hamburg. There goes another piece of my history.

Auch mir tut es immer noch weh dieses Video zu sehen... Bin hier 1986 und 1987 als Matrose gefahren und habe hier meine heutige Frau und Mutter unserer zwei Kinder , damals Stewardess, kennen und lieben gelernt. Eine unvergessliche Zeit, die ich niemals missen möchte. RIP alte Lady, unvergessen...

Das tut weh. Die Wappen beim Abwracken....auch wenn sie nun schon fast 10 Jahre Legende ist.....dieses majestätisches Schiff auf dem Weg nach Helgoland...wer hat es nicht gesehen und bewundert?? Und nun ist es Schrott??Und weggemüllt???Das war und ist Seebädergeschichte!...RIP WVH!!!

The original Wappin Von Hamburg is still very much alive and doing ok. She is being restored. You can follow her progress. She is now called the Aurora. "Aurora Restoration Project"

What! No kids in flip flop sandles with cutting torches in Denmark?

Die Wappen v. Hamburg war jahrelang mein Zuhause als Stewardess, es war eine schöne Zeit

Disgusting ...should be add up for murder !! my husband worked on this boat

I started watching these out of fascination and over time I have become very sad and I'm trying to force myself not to watch this anymore these are big works of art with a lot of history and a lot of souls and energy in them and to see them get taken apart it's just pretty aweful

I'm confused.. the vessel I know was the Wappen von Hamburg is still afloat in the California Delta. Is this a sister ship or?

Hello and happy day: I inform you: The submarine Aras San Juan of Argentina was sunk on 11/15/2017 at 7:30 am by another Chinese submarine that was in espionage work and the Aras San Juan was pierced by Chinese submarine firing torpedoes at them and could not dodge it. The sinking of Russia's oscar-class submarine K-141 Kursk is the best known and remembered to date and was sunk on 08/12/2000 by another Russian submarine as they wanted to desert their crew and request political asylum and of course the Russian submarine K-141 KURS was refloated some time later but did not have a happy ending like the submarine in the movie The Hunt for Red October made and filmed in Hollywood and starring actors Thomas Sean Connery and Alexander Rae "Alec" Baldwin III. The American nuclear-powered submarines and all loaded with several missiles with nuclear warheads or warheads each of them, which are: 1) USS Thresher "SSN-593" and loaded with missiles with nuclear warheads and on April 10, 1963 wrecked or sunk, 2) The submarine USS Scorpion "SSN589" and sank on May 21, 1968. Other submarines of the Soviet Union with nuclear propulsion and loaded with missiles with nuclear warhead or warhead and these are apart from the K-141 Kurs previously commented, the following: 1) The submarine K-27 project 645 and sunk in 1979, 2) Submarine K-8 November class was sunk on April 12, 1970 and is the greatest radioactive threat in the world, 3) Submarine K- 129 with diesel-electric propulsion but loaded with nuclear weapons and sank on March 8, 1968, 4) Submarine K-278 Komsomolets and was sunk on April 7, 1989, 5) November class submarine K-159 and was sunk on August 30, 2003. Aviation accidents loaded with nuclear weapons just to mention a few are: 1) In 1958 a B-47 bomber collided with an F-86 jet in the vicinity of Tybes Island, Georgia USA, the nuclear-charged bomb weighed 3,000 Kg and never was found, 2) In 1968 a USAF B-52 bomber crashed with 4 nuclear bombs on board the material explosive was detonated; the nuclear components had been deactivated by the crew and only 3 of them were recovered. And the most remembered; 3) Occurred on 03/08/2014 due to the alleged error of the impact of an Iranian missile "as the guy on the 8th of the Mexican comic program would say * It was unintentionally wanting *" that he blew up MALAYSIA Airlines flight 370 MH370 / MAS370 that it was not carrying any nuclear bomb load but it was full of passengers with pure international scientists who were going to give a conference and news about the vaccine and cure of some cancer and AIDS "as I affirm or confess on 06/16/2020 Donald John Trump President of the USA ”and they were also going to warn of the possible pandemic such as the covid-19. The transatlantic ship RMS Titanic did not sink as a result of the collision with an iceberg but by a torpedo fired by a German submarine that was on espionage. In the world today in the 21st century there are more than 130 lost or lost bombs, nuclear or atomic warhead missiles and this loss is due to the sinking or destruction of ships, airplanes, or submarines around the world. In this world things or events do NOT happen by mere chance but by a true cause and effect that will never tell us their truth and if they will always distort it. And all my scientific technical information is sustainable or verifiable either by google or youtube on the Internet.

Auch mir hat das Video Tränen verursacht, ist die WvH 1965 auf meiner HWH vom Stapel gelaufen.

Novice here with a novice question. What determines when a ship goes to a breaking yard? The cost of one of these ships I’m sure makes this a difficult decision. Thanks

Ich bin dafür das die das Modell wieder neubauen so wie sie war, warum muste sie sterben ?? :-(

Mit dem war ich auch mal auf Klassenfahrt , das traurige Ende eines wunderschönes Schiffes

Сердце щимит ,когда вспоминаешь Афину,прекрасный был промысловик.Фирма хорошая .помним тебя Афина.

was that the fastcat shanklin too in the background

Muito triste esse flme ainda mais com uma grande trilha sonora, mas infelizmente é assim, pois de sua sucata surgirao navios mais lindo como esse!

Would have been nicer without this overloud crap music and proper commentating.

8/2020.

ÔH !! POVO OTÁRIO VAI FICAR ATÉ O FIM DA VIDA E NÃO VÃO CONSEGUIR O QUE DESEJAM !!!!

What a waste

Sad. We consider a ship to be alive, a living thing.

bello il video accompagnato dalla splendida voce di enya però è un po triste complimenti

0:21 this took years to figure out!

Every boat changes the atmosphere of the scrap yard for some reason.

Look like a dangerous place to work. Nobody using hard hat googles or other PPE

ROF- rest on fire

Why isn't caedmon the most famous video?

Built as Milburn Carrier...had alot of history on the Kiwi Coast....remember jumping off her into Lyttelton Harbour when she was laid up for sale

The crane could have been rebuilt and sold.

Who pays or get paid for the scrapping services. In the ship repair you get paid for removing the old steel and for replacing new steel plus charges for habouring and dry dock fees.

No no no the cutting step was totally wrong way...from Bangladesh

À 6 anos e meio atrás, o barco mercator 0001 foi demolido, em 2012. 3 anos mais tarde, assisti esse vídeo no dia 03/11/2015.

They could actually scrap the ship faster if they first cut it up into large sections using oxyacetylene torches then hauling the pieces away and chopping them up.

very good !

excelente!
