I click right away when I see a new Shipwreck Archives upload!😄 Thank you for another unique and well researched archive tale. The recounting of the man who lost his whole family being reunited with his only surviving child was particularly touching.

Unfortunately we'll probably never know what caused the fire or why it was so violent and devastating. Thanks for another really well researched and thought provoking episode guys. 👍

I was looking for the month. Water is probably not so deadly in august or September.
@theshipwreckarchives8 күн бұрын
It sank in August which probably saved many lives but the survivors still spoke of being bitterly cold in the water.

Wow. That's an incredible story of survival. The unnamed ship's surgeon deserves so much of the credit for saving those men.

This was the first story we had ever encountered where crab legs were used for hydration. Second Mate Zeeman was the one to tell the story of the people left on the island and he was very quick to give the ship's surgeon all of the credit for thinking of ways for them to survive.

The Captain may be the last off the sinking ship but he’s coming off that island first!

We had admittedly listened to far too many old radio plays before creating the intro but now it is sort of tradition. It was designed with the idea that it would let our audience know that this is a two person project rather than just a single person since the second person on the project is generally in a quiet role in the background.

A tragedy of the era. Too much reliance on “new” technology.

I bet that radio operator aboard ship made up wholly new insults and slurs to refer to the Eureka based operators in the moments after they felt the crunch on the reef.

It was also said that similar delays in community with the radio compass station slowed other ships in coming to the aid of the Alaska. It proved to be a very deadly bottleneck.

This is such an incredible story that so few people know about outside of those really into the maritime history of the Great Lakes. Thanks for this video, it's the best by far on the subject I've found! I wish people knew more about their own State's local history, Michigan and the entire Great Lakes region's history is so rich and amazing.

I live very close to Warrnambool. There were many many wrecks along the western Victorian coast, and it's known as the shipwreck coast. I have been waiting for you to do one of the shipwreck stories from the Victorian shipwreck coast. Thank you so much, as always, for the best content on KZbin 😊😊😊 Happy new year to all my shipwreck archives family

Whilst visiting Lord Howe ,I was shown B&W pictures of the Errol taken Just Before ww2, There were Still the remains of sails hanging from the Yards, on the after hull section , During the War This wreck was used as target practice by the Australian air force Flying out of AMBERLY AFB , I was flying from Norfolk Island to Lord Howe , and we decided as it was a very low tide to go down to Below 500Ft to look at the ship wrecks ............... I took Pictures of the Wreck and there are STILL pockmarks in the reef from the Bombs [Near misses] The ERROL wreck when I visited around 1990 is just a Mass of Rust Shards And An anchor, its on the Westerly side of the reef , it was a Very low tide When I visited ,I also took Pictures of the ''RUNIC'' Which was a Shaw Savil cargo liner that hit the reef in a cyclone in 1964 its on the North Eastern side of the reef........ Near the entrance to the lagoon ......I also visited Elisabeth reef which is about 30NM South of Middleton , There are Ship Wrecks there Too Anyway A BIT MORE DETAIL , We were So low over the Lagoon that I could see fish darting away from the Aircraft's shadow and at least three Alarms were making a Lot of noise [stall alarm and Under 500ft alarm ect] A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE the position of Middleton reef its about 400 Miles East of Brisbane , A VERY Isolated Place .

Wow! Being anywhere near the east coast of Australia without a lookout for reefs is suicide. For context, Newcastle is a stone's throw south of The Coral Sea.
@FinnishLapphundАй бұрын
Happy New Year! Whatever happened on that reef, all honour to the Captain of the Tofua, who was compassionate enough to always check the reef just in case there was a new wreck with castaways there, instead of just assuming it was the same old wreck like the other Captain did.
@theshipwreckarchivesАй бұрын
This was also the only story we could think of where a salvage captain had thought of future castaways and left supplies on a wreck just in case. A lot of good people in this one.

Wow I had never heard of this. But after a search with Google and YT I saw videos and pictures. This one is apparently more well known in maritime history circles. It’s a bit more sobering when you see pictures of individuals involved. -- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hopefully you can give that lady locked up in the archives vault a break for the holiday! Haha!

The Vestris is well deserving of its fame. The circumstances of it sinking, the people on it, and the subsequent investigation, not to mention the images make it a haunting disaster.
