One of my favourite failed launches has to be the Sept 1907 launch of the Italian ocean liner _Principessa Jolanda_ . In those days it was apparently common to launch ships fully equipped and completed, however someone must have misjudged her balance and how she would sit on the water once she came, too quickly, off the slipway, because she began to slow list to her port side side. And kept going. And going. Until she was resting, completely submerged, on her side. It can't have helped if there were loose fittings and furniture, which would have all slid to the same side, as well as open or incomplete portholes. She also didn't have any coal aboard or ballast to balance out being top-heavy. The ship was scrapped from right where it was, and her sister ship was redesigned to be less top-heavy. She was gone in about 20 minutes, and never actually sailed. The sister lasted about three days before being sunk. When you look at the way liners were built, at least by the more famous British shipwrights, the hull and main boat decks would be completed, as well as at least some of the superstructure, however a significant portion of the ship would be completed after it was solidly in the water, tied again to a special portion of the dock while everything was finished. This way you knew how the ship would sit on the water.

[@tornadicstorm6624]

I don't think it was usual to launch ships fully fitted out, although I could be wrong, but I usually see them only as a hull with the superstructure on it.

[@vasopel]

the sister ship lasted 18 years. she was called "Principessa Mafalda" and was launched in 1908 with much of her superstructure uninstalled in order to prevent the same disaster. The launch was successful and Mafalda was fully completed in March 1909. She sank In 1927 with 300+ fatalities. ;-)

[@ronnieince4568]

@@tornadicstorm6624 Harland and Wolff in Belfast made a practice of installing engines and boilers at the construction phase -this gave better stability for launch and reduced the final fitting out time afloat.

[@ntvypr4820]

Ballast. It's all about ballast at launches. If you don't have enough heavy machinery and equipment in the bottom and below the waterline the ship will invariably simply capsize. As did several of the ships in this vid that floated for just a moment on the surface and almost nothing being submerged below the painted waterlines.

[@guidoz1747]

Launch 5, in South Africa - this is actually a very common launch method in that part of South Africa. There is a lack of slipways along the coast, so beach surf launches (of both hard boats and RIB's) are the only way. The method used is also correct - speed up so when the car brakes the boat is pushed off the trailer because of its momentum and into the sea - the outboards are lifted up at that stage. Slow and steady actually doesn't work at all in this kind of launch - you need that speed and sudden stop. What went wrong here is that there must have been a shallow ridge just beyond the shore line which the stern of the boat hit. Most of the time such a shallow ridge is not present, so most launches like this actually work really well. Once the boat is afloat the outboards are lowered and the boat is turned towards the sea. Getting from there through the waves is where the real fun begins, and skippers must be experienced and knowledgeable to dodge the waves as they slowly weave through them to open sea. Recovery is usually by driving the boat up the beach and using a break-neck trailer. The 4x4 is a version of the original Toyota Land Cruiser - a real capable work-horse.

[@guitardzan5641]

Yep.......Beach launches are also common in Alaska.....

For safety!

[@roccovanniekerk5251]

@@andersonsmith979 That is how it's done, crew onboard. You will have a very hard time getting people onboard after a successful beach launch as there is no jetty or still water for that matter. you usually wait for either a sizable wave to "carry" the boat before gunning the vehicle, timing is crucial and it also seems like that was a mistake made in this launch. high tide is usually easier.

Re #8. I don't think the boat was too heavy for the cranes. Problem is that one of the straps broke, putting all the mass of the boat onto the one remaining crane. In fact, either the straps were overloaded, or imperfect due to wear.

[@bigal3940]

Thanks for sharing your work @Underworld some interesting videos! The ship at 6:20 didn't seem to have too much of a list to warrant it capsizing. It's probably a good thing it done it on launch rather than at sea with a full crew.

[@somedumbozzie1539]

They had already built the super structure and it was to top heavy is my guess, they no doubt thought it would be ok and intended to add ballast after the launch to keep the weight down but I am just guessing the way it tips over is the give away somebody got their math's wrong or just didn't check.

#6 (Sarawak) has the appearance of the ship being launched with insufficient equipment or dead weight low in the hull, so it was top-heavy.

As for that lifeboat, the rear cable latch failed. It was obvious. Shouldn't have happened. I work on an offshore platform where we used to practice lowering down to the water with a small crew in the lifeboats. Unfortunately, several years ago, a similar lifeboat incident occured where several crew members died. Now we don't do live practice runs. And lowering the boats for drills happens very rarely.

[@MrKapeji]

Indeed, although I am unfamiliar with the correct term, it was clear a link failed, not the wire cable.

[@Capt.Northing]

To me it looks like the stern hook is not properly locked. As these things also have onload release option, the hook then opens because of that. Looks like a possible crew error to me.

This is a classic case of "Chineseium" - components that should be within proper spec but are simply not due to poor quality control. There is no way that that should have failed as it was a normal function of the design to be lifted like that.

[@teasyames1]

Biggest issue with most of these situations is based on their country. Rules like chain grade and how that relates to static vs dynamic weight is huge in all these situations. Maybe the tug boat was 5000lbs lighter than the static weight limit of the chain, but it was probably 2-3x too heavy if you calculated the dynamic weight, since it was swinging. And #1, the yacht, all they needed was a docking pole. One of the most overlooked but incredibly important personal boating accessories. Being able to stop yourself in flowing water is super simple but this guy must've bought it from someone who'd never sailed before.

[@gavinsmith9022]

@@suspicionofdeceit bad Shape with little reserve buoyancy and not enough ballast.

[@suspicionofdeceit]

@@George.Andrews. So basically a poor design from the start?

[@George.Andrews.]

@suspicionofdeceit all designs are a compromise. That flat bottom suggests it was built to operate in a certain depth of water. A shoe box will float because as it tips, the side going down offers more buoyancy to the water as the other side offers less. It looked like they were trying to get the shoe box to float on its edge with not enough ballast.

I had to laugh at the Jeep gunning the boat towards the water. How do anyone think that was a good idea? I couldn't tell if the crane operator jumped out as it was going into the water in the San Cristobal clip. It looked like a crew member was still onboard the boat deck as well.
