12 Most Incredible Abandoned Ships In The World

[@kimrud458]

The photos of a cruiser sailing are not of a Sverdlov-class cruiser. They are of the Omaha-class cruiser USS Milwaukee lent to the USSR as the Murmansk during WWII.

[@Bluegumtiger]

yeah - its not like its hard to tell they arent the same ship. 3 barrels in each turret on the wreck but only 2 barrels in the ship they showed. Typical zero effort research

[@drewburt4315]

Any serious ship enthusiast or really any observant person can see that the ship in the photo and the wreck are not the same ship. Everything is different, not just the turrets but the superstructure and the distinctive 4 stacks. They may as well show a photograph of the USS Langley and say its the USS Nimitz.

[@brucesims3228]

Anyone else ever notice how companies associated with these derelict are never required to clean up the mess? Why is that?

[@sofakinglazy3217]

I've seen in some occasions where they fine them until its removed but rarely. I live on the Indian river in Florida and boats of all shapes and sizes wash into the flats and are abandoned. Not only does it make it look trashy but the fuel n oils leak out everywhere n destroy the environment. I dont mean to go on a tangent but I completely agree w you

[@sammolloy1]

River barges cost more to cut up than the scrap price of steel so they are all over the Ohio River

[@Anamericanhomestead]

You should have covered the USS Sachem now located in a creek in Kentucky. It served in 2 world wars, and its famous passengers include Thomas Edison and Madonna.

[@stevemartin6882]

At 06:15 the narrator calls the ship the "SS Duke of Lancaster" then at 06:50 the narrator then calls the ship the "Duke of Edinburgh" Which is it? (Its actually the Duke of Lancaster, guessing the narrator just doesn't know his Dukes, surprised he doesn't then call it the 'SS Bo Duke'

[@winkyhorsley]

Visited the SS Duke of lancaster nearly every year as a kid in the 80s when on holiday at the local pontins site, Was brilliant as a restaurant , Took my own kids there a few years back ,Shame its not being used for anything.

[@markadams4593]

one minor note here. In the Murmansk segment he showed photos of the light cruiser Murmansk at sea. Then he showed some completely different ship sitting rusted in a earthen cofferdam against a coast. The wrecked ship has 2 large triple gun turrets clearly visible on the end of the ship closest to the viewer . The cruiser Murmansk had a single double gun turret on each end. Is the wreck another ship named Murmansk? Something here stinks like the water in the bilges of that wreck.

[@jackochainsaw]

I thought that was weird too.

[@mcduck5]

It's not the admiral sheer being partly scrapped?

[@geordischmidt]

That last ship, I heard, was not a smuggling ship but was empty when she was caught in one of those freak storms in the Mediterranean. She took refuge in the cove but because the cove was so narrow, it channeled storm waters higher than anywhere else. The ship was pushed ashore and, when the storm waters receded, the ship was beyond the reach of even a full moon high tide. The owners were on shaky financial ground and abandoned the ship.

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

You have forgotten THE fastest ship to date. The S/S United States. She has been laid up since 1969, I think. Another great ship is M/S Kong Olav also forgotten in Thailand. Now you know!

[@monsieurcommissaire1628]

SS United States is not, by any means, abandoned. Sadly neglected, but not abandoned. She is, in fact, quite sound. She can still be saved, and indeed, we who love her will keep working towards that end.

[@gil7459]

The Murmansk you showed in clips was the Former USS Milwaukee that was transferred to the the USSR. That is not the same ship that was abandoned on its way to be scrapped.

[@enchantereddie]

Talking: Sverdlov-class, shown: Omaha-class. Are you kidding me? Talking: Modern day ferry, shown: WWI cruiser. I'm sure you're kidding me.

[@gungar92]

The Tuxedo Royalle was previously called the Tuxedo Princess and was docked in Glasgow and used as a floating nightclub and restaurant, it was forced to close and move in 2001 because of extensive bridge works at the Kingston Bridge where it was docked, was then moved to Newcastle

[@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming]

Wow, I have dived in two of those wrecks, seen the one off the coast of Wales, been to the rusty wreck in Zante (or Zakynthos as he called it) and the one on Lanzarote that's no where near Costa Teguise, it's in Arrecife, the Islands Captial).

[@DJShadesUK]

Zakynthos *is* the correct name though.

[@finscreenname]

Why leave them as a mess? I mean if its a tourist thing then leave it but there is always a way to get rid of a grounded ship even if its explosive demolition.

[@jackochainsaw]

Just break them while there’s value in the metal. When they seriously oxidise to flakes they are worthless eyesores.

[@99mrsparky]

I'm from Newcastle I remember seeing the tuxedo royal Down the quayside, people drunk the police staged outside, ambulances to and from the ship. It was the iconic spot on the Tyne I used to fish with my grandfather along the stern. When I was about 11 or 12 I went down to the Tyne 1 week and it was there the next I never saw it again, until now. Brought back so many memories

[@Oregontrailblazin]

I can’t believe you guys featured the floating tuxedo! We used to party on the tuxedo princess. So many drunken nights spent on that revolving dance floor. Thanks for the memories

[@tanello2]

i dont understand how ppl can just creep on the abandoned ship , none less do roap stunts on them, my god by simply looking at them gives me the creeps, i have seen maybe too many ship horror movies or what, but i will never step on board abandoned ship that still is in the water, god knows what is under the floor boards or what state the sealings and walls.

[@jaquigreenlees]

You would run into the same problem that every owner, including McDonalds has. The local governments will not issue permits for it to be used in any capacity. It lies abandoned since you can't get a permit to hook water, sewer, power to it.

The Lyubov Orlova is more then likely sunk, some time after the Irish sighting her EPIRB beacon went off. Interesting side note, her sister ship the Alla Tarasova is still in service under the name Ocean Adventurer.

[@clashman7564]

4:02 Can't you use the real ship? That Murmansk is American Omaha-class cruiser that was given to the USSR in World War 2. The Murmansk you are talking about is newer ship.

[@thenomaddodo]

The Omaha - Mourmansk is 1944 , this one is Svredlov 1955

I have seen The Tuxedo Royale in its heyday. You could parts of it for big parties, works outings, Hen parties etc. Had a big reputation for high prices, but medium quality. The main pull was that it was a boat

[@xhellsr3gr3txo77]

Are old ferry here on Grand Manan island was sold, and was aground on a reef. I think somewhere around Panama, we as Islanders miss that ferry. Great video btw

With the mcbarge, i never understood why they didn't use it for "spring break" in Miami florida. And move it around to specific events around the coast line. They could have made bank year after year with Miami being a great place for boat location/repair

[@g2macs]

The Tuxedo Royale was parked on the Clyde at Glasgow and was called the Tuxedo Princess. I went there for my 30th in 89, it was the place to go....for a while at least. The night I was there they had the 'electric blue' dancers on stage (most just had a smile on) And I was propositioned in the gent's toilets by a working girl....... What a classy place!

[@ScienceChap]

At 4:11, you show an Obama class US cruiser named USS Millwaukee, which was transfered to the Russian Navy in 1943 and renamed Murmansk. Thats not the same ship as the Sverdlov class cruiser which sank en route to the scrapyard. At 6:50 you randomly drop a picture of a Royal Navy WW1 armoured cruiser called HMS Duke of Edinburgh, which was scrapped after WW1 in 1920. Somehow you imply its the same ship as a ferry converted into a floating casino in Wales. Please do your research better.

[@brigantinestudios]

- Talks about the 1950s era Sverdlof class Murmansk but only shows images of the WW1 era Omaha class Murmansk; a COMPLETLY different ship, class and type. Do some research as this is downright misleading. They don't even look the same; one has a single double turret on the bow; the other has two triple turrets. A kid could tell the difference. You then show a WW1 protected Cruiser (A VICTORIAN WARSHIP) during a domestic ferry from the 1950s (A POST-WAR PASSENGER SHIP) segment...for...some incredibly obscure reason. They don't even look vaguely similar. Feels like a 3 year old's nursery project on boats. I'm not normally so harsh on youtubers as I know it takes work to put videos together....but christ. It takes more work than this.
