The captain was a complete fool.

Built by Canadians in Nova Scotia, and destroyed by an American. What a shame, disgusting actually

I remember this incident. It’s too bad all the mistakes were made. It seems the first mate should have sent the distress call when HE thought it should have been sent. Then miss Christian and the captain would have made it and the captain could explain why he made so many wrong decisions on this voyage.

Tha captain was first off the ship? He is a miserable coward and should be shunned.

This is happens when you have a bunch of novices trying to run a ship that requires expert seamanship and sound judgment. Not to mention a ship that’s a neglected wooden relic. If the captain had survived he probably would have went to jail for negligence. All he had to do was stay in port until the storm passed.

Listen.. the reason they didn’t make it is because they didn’t build or run a tall ship like a true tall ship. There shouldn’t be an engine on a tall ship… no gasoline.. no electricity.. no electric pumps.. enough men manned a tall ship that there were four at a time on each crank constantly running the water draining elevator (their version of a pump that removes hundreds of liters per minute.. it’s more effective than electric ones on a tall ship). They added these things for modern convenience but it doesn’t belong on a tall ship. Bring back the pure tall ships!

They made a pirate porno movie! Omg

I have followed this saga since the day they sailed off from Ct. down into Sandy. I have watched all the various videos. This is the best because you told more details of the famous "meeting" one hour prior to the actual trip. The crew did not really have an option to "not join". The capt only half heartedly covered his butt to position it as "optional". Jeesh. On maintenance and condition of this rotting ship with questionable pumps etc. to not fix certain parts, I could see this as OK to hold off for some time but only if one was not planning to head directly into any major storm never mind a freakin hurricane! Then you share how truly bad it really was to be on board in a hurricane with thirty foot waves in a leaky old rotting boat, with a captain on a deathwish, and no true respect of others lives. Thanks for a "real" view of this!

Lol wait a minute, so they filmed both a porn parody of pirates of the Caribbean and then later another actual pirates of the Caribbean on the same ship?

Naming a ship after a sunk vessel is bad luck ..

THE ONLY THING YOU got WRONG is the DATE. It was MARCH 2018--------------- NOT , not NOT march 2011!!!!!!!

Oops confusing draft with freeboard?

What A fool that Captain was , and how ironic that the other casualty was related to Mr Christian , if true , interesting story , nicely put together vid, thanks for posting .

The worst bit is that everyone in the bunks was awake and aware while the fire was going on. One person was wearing mismatched shoes. One of them found a working phone and recorded a video only 3 minutes after the captain made the first maday call. This is truly a horrid situation.

I believe the captain stayed as long as he could stand while making radio maday calls. I think he was trailing smoke when he jumped and he couldn’t breathe. This is a horrible situation all around. It’s a panic situation. Usually in panic situations people go into fight or flight. I’m not saying that jumping ship was a good thing to do. But he didn’t just jump ship as soon as he realised there was a fire.

I'm not quite sure how this was "allowed" to happen. What a disgrace of a captain.

Dear November Charlie, . I write you today from Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA. . I’m not just your usual fan (perhaps). My father, John N. Pearce was born in Baltimore, and his family had been established there for generations. . In fact, when I saw the photo of the restored theater at the beginning of the video, I said to myself, “that looks like the Hippodrome, I think”. . BEFORE (finally) seeing you had captioned it HIPPODROME THEATER. . How do I know the Hippodrome? Well, my great-grandfather, Marion Scott Pearce, an “Impresario,” BUILT the Hippodrome, opening in 1914 (although I wish it had been 1904), with a partner named SCHECK, who I’ve never been able to find out more about. You can find the names PEARCE & SCHECK in contemporaneous advertisements, by searching Google. . I was there (in 2004, I guess) for the inaugural reopening as the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center. I’m going to split this into two parts. 🧵->

A well told yarn with great background details about the city and crew. Two details that mar the presentation are that there is no such place as St. John Harbor on the island of that name in the USVI and in your description of the sinking when you say that “the water poured into the bulkhead” makes no sense because a bulkhead is the ship’s equivalent of a wall. As for possible causes, you should mention that the captain was concerned enough to tell people to clip in but not concerned enough to reduce sail before it was too late, which would be the obvious thing to do to prevent such a tragedy.

Thank you for the memorial at the end of all who lost their lives. Those poor people had no idea they had embarked on a journey that would be their last.

My in-laws serviced aboard the Bounty i disagree with the crew not being as experienced . But Captain Rudy was a hell of a leader and his crew all made it home safe thanks to his decisions. Live by the sea die by the sea. Here's to RUDY

Ех жаль что вы не показали капитана ван Сратена , но работа хорошая... Но жаль что вы голди не сделали виде каравеллы. Но история нормальная, так что ты молодец =)

Best video yet. Thank you. I was at the Coast Guard station in Oxnard when the boat arrived with the crew.

This was so avoidable.

"The story of the original Bounty is a story for another day" proceeds to tell story all the way up to SpongeBob and Pirates of the Caribbean 😂😂😂

17 years experience and he still thought like an inpatient teenager.

I went aboard this ship as a scout in Berkeley; she appeared ok; but it pissed me off when she foundered and was lost...stupid capt and untrained crew! And to think that our national treasure is in the ands of fools in boston!!

pirates was filmed on the set of SpongeBob is kinda funny

I served in the Royal Navy, and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. I experienced a lot of rough weather and sailed through Hurricane Flossie in 1978. It can be terrifying. I cannot begin to comprehend why any Captain would deliberatly choose to sail into the path of a hurricane. Especially in a Sailing ship with an inexperienced crew. It really was grossly negligent and foolhardy. It cost the life of a beautiful young woman in the prime of her life. It is a pity this Captain could not be held to account for his stupidity. I guess the sea held him to account. Such a sad story.

When you look at the dynamics of this accident… Like with so many of them they are not purely accidental. They have multiple aspects of prevention as this one dead if you look at it objectively. Front seat passenger being able to interact with flight controls with a tether. Preventable. Passengers with no quick release mechanism from harness. Preventable. Thank God the FAA stepped in after this incident to issue directives on doors off flights and harness systems.

Great informative video! Hopefully you make more

RIP Claudene , terrible waste :(

I was on the bounty several times,it was a really cool ship,such a tragic loss.

She never should have been at sea in the first place. Modern cruise ships and navy vessels won't try their luck with hurricanes, so what chance did she stand?

What I understood, is that saving money was more important than savety The ocean is no joke and you should never cut on savety measures 😢 Read the book ; the Cruel Sea for more survival on the ocean 🌊

My sister and I were born in Baltimore, but raised in Canada. She moved back to the city, and when I would visit, we always went to the inner harbor to watch them building the Pride of Baltimore I. Of course, like everyone else, we were devastated when she sank, and glad when the Pride of Baltimore was rebuilt. My sister has passed now too, but your video brings back the memories of sitting with her on the brick pavement of the inner harbor watching the birth of a Baltimore Clipper. Thanks for the great video!

So did they put Air Bags in and raise it or did the Ship break Up ?

I love your channel, man. I hope you keep it up! There's a really interesting story about a German sailor who died from a heart attack at sea in 2016. His ship continued to float around for weeks, until a racing crew found it and reported it to the coast guard. The CG told them after about 2 hours to leave the ship and continue their race. The ship continued to float around for several more weeks until fisherman found it and discovered the mummified remains of the lone German sailor aboard. He was found dead next to family photos and a letter he wrote to his wife who died in 2010. It is an interesting story, and there is a video of the racing crew first discovering the boat, as well as pictures from the fishing crew that later found it.

A stubborn captain with bad judgment? Why does that sound familiar? Oh...

they love their Pride ! it is a beauty

Worst captain ever. I feel sorry for his crew, and especially for the crew member who died because of his negligence and recklessness.

my cousin was on it. i know nobody is gonna see this comment, and even fewer will believe it, but it's true. i'm not gonna say which crewmember my cousin is because of privacy but yeah

I write you from Mombasa, Kenya to tell you, with much, much gratitude that this is perfect. I sailed with the Pride 2 off the coast of Spain many years ago. I remember, with Jan Miles at the wheel, sailing, and I do mean SAILING into Malaga Harbor, all the way up to the dock. No power involved. I remember when the first Pride went down. I remember all of it. And I love Baltimore. And that was what you brought to this so beautifully. A deep love and understanding of the City where I lived for 40 years and will always call home. Thank you.

This is the best summary video I've seen of this tragedy. I've spent 31 cumulative nights on the Conception for lobster hunting trips over a 10-year period and although I knew where the escape hatch was I bet it was only mentioned two or three times during safety briefings. I always guessed it was a lithium battery that caught fire at the coffee maker station (top of the stairs) and that since that's where everyone stored their alcohol, my assumption was that any flammable alcohol ignited with the battery fire. I was never a Captain Jerry fan (mostly because he was grumpy and didn't seem to ever want to move the boat enough to find the lobster) so I switched my dive trips to the Vision and always made sure he wasn't captaining.

Charlie, you sound unnatural when you make such an effort to enunciate your words.

I wouldn't call the captain a coward. That majorly turned me off. Save your opinions for yourself, don't put them in your videos. If you want to see what a true coward, all you have to do is look at Schettino who 'fell' into a lifeboat on Costa Concordia. And all the armchair lawyers and QB"s in this comment section are hilarious. The USCG and NTSB seem to think differently from you all, maybe read the report from NTSB before you judge.

The captain must of been a private person before the accident as hardly no pics of him exist. It seems that the reality is if captains have an emergency, they first seek to save themselves. The biggest myth is that captains really sympathize for passengers or crew. Thank your for detailing the passengers and crews name and some bio where possible. Best video, details of the trip, people, and ship.

That captains behavior is absolutely horrid

Just found this today. That was some excellent story telling. I've read books, web articles, and even viewed other videos. But, they all managed to be incredibly dry reading/viewing. Thank you for all of the work you've obviously put into this.

Thorough and more respectful than many disaster channels, good work.

Your right .. What an A hole the owner is
