Abandoned WWII Base & U-Boat | Rhode Island

[@jt2861]

4:13 - I will never understand why people feel the need to spray paint over stuff that they don’t privately own. It looks awful. But that aside, you have amazing videos. I grew up around these places and never realized they were there! Incredible footage!

[@ronaldbernier824]

Fantastic documentary. Although I have lived in Rhode Island since 1976, this is the first I have heard about a German U-Boat sinking off the coast. Thank you - this is obviously a labor of love for you and I really appreciate you sharing.

[@lesabooth5243]

I heard about it by a wife who husband died in the wreckage. I don't know how or why she lived here in Rhode Island. I didn't ask.

[@tawanabraceknowles2286]

heard about this and have been to an undergournd bunker at point judith. many tidibits of U boats and german spies trying to blow up little known spots on the upper east coast 😊

[@Lex5576]

One interesting fact is that one of the US Navy ships that participated in hunting down U-853 still survives to this day....USS Atherton, a destroyer escort. It's likely her Hedgehog depth charges dealt some of the killing hits on U-853. After WW2, the Atherton was transferred to the newly formed Japanese Self Defense Naval Force. Then she was sold to the Philippine Navy, serving until 2018. The Philippine Navy has plans to turn the ship into a museum exhibit at Cavite Bay.

[@peterbarry1436]

I dove on the U-853. Remains of the crew could still be seen. International grave. Also dove the Black Point. Will always have those memories.

[@garydoyle7155]

its a war grave and I went down on it years ago with the Grey Eagle dive charter when the pressure hull was pretty much intact and a couple of the guys actually did a penetration dive and human bones were visible. I have seen newer vids of the wreck and its in rough shape now compared to back then. Never heard of magnetic depth charges as they were called depth charges for a reason - - the depth at which they would explode was manually set before they were launched and it was the concussive force detonating in close proximity that would cause damage so that the pressure hull was breached and if you can get water inside the sub loses buoyancy and sinks deeper where the water under pressure is a force of its own creating even greater issues. At 130/140 ft. on the bottom the pressure simply forces more water through any breach but at greater depths the external water pressure would create an implosion crushing the hull much the same as someone might crush a beer can.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

@@garydoyle7155 magnetic charges were tried and failed badly, proximity, contact, and regular depth were the only full service depth charges used

[@garydoyle7155]

@4 Dogs Gaming when I dove on it was more than 30 years ago in fact someone brought up a rubber boot in his "bug bag" and it contained bones which the next flight of divers put back in the wreck. I'm trying to find one of the older videos of the inside as there was a skull clearly visible in it - - you had to be very careful not to stir up the silt even back then because vis went to zero with one errant kick hence the use of a wreck reel. Nitrox was just coming into use back then so just on air your bottom time was very limited even using Navy tables which gave a little more than PADI unless you were going to do a decompression dive like on the Dorea. Newer videos show how degraded the wreck has become - - I saw one that was done 10 years after we dove it and the changes were profound

[@garydoyle7155]

@4 Dogs Gaming found the video of a penetration dive by Capt. Bill Palmer who found the sub again after it had been forgotten about for years - - the video is titled Last Voyage of the 853 by Gregory Pettys - - several skulls and various bones of lost crew members were shown

I've driven past those decrepit basketball hoops numerous times on the way to the Point Judith Lighthouse and once explored the area from the path along the road to the Fisherman's Memorial site. It was THRILLING to find such an exceptional video delineating the history of that spot, because I've always wondered about it! I would never have guessed there was such a colorful backstory to it. I also appreciate the great historical footage you included - felt like history come alive for me, and this really made my day! Keep up the great work!

[@jonbeckleymorrisblues]

Great work! Where I live in Oregon in the Umpqua valley used to live in Port Orford on the coast where a Japanese pilot bombed the nearby forest around Coast Guard Hill. There are those cement submarine I guess houses below the cliffs there. Later I was told the Japanese pilot came back, or was invited back to Port Orford for a visit! Crazy world.

[@russellmccann9027]

Love these exploring abandoned places . I am a 73 y/o brought up in Burrillville and as a young boy did lots of exploring in the ample woods there. Amazing the things you find way out in the woods. I explored a long time burned down textile mill in what was known as Gazzaville. The bushings and stone towers for the water wheels are still there... also about 4 or 5 foundations filled in and grown over. Love these mini docs you do. Keep it up !

[@lukewood7341]

I go to the University of Rhode Island, about a 20 minute drive from point judith. There's a lot of cool abandoned ww2 stuff in the area. For those who don't know, RI is roughly the shape of a tall rectangle with the Bay on the lower right side. Within the bay are several long, North/South oriented islands, with Newport (Port with a big naval base) on the biggest one. Imagine like a fork pointing down, with the tine on the left being longer than the others. Point judith is the tip of the leftmost tine. Further up that tine is the URI Bay Campus (GSO), which used to be a coastal defense station and later a German POW camp. It's now one of the main locations for oceanographic research for the North Atlantic and the NA east coast. I go there for classes all the time now, and there's a sealed off bunker right at the main entrance. There's also a lot of wierd concrete geometry left over from large gun emplacements that they had to work around when building the new classroom and lab buildings. They've even got a nuclear reactor there now for the physics department. Further up the same tine is Quonsett Airport, which is currently the RI Air Natl. Guard HQ. During and post-ww2, it was a training ground for pilots. If you've seen the movie Devotion, they spend the first half of the movie there, living in South Kingstown (where the URI main campus is). It used to have a small air museum (with a flyable Hellcat!) But they ran out of funding in 2015, and sold their functioning planes to other air museums. The ones they had in pieces however, ended up outdoors displayed on top of some shipping containers next to one of the parking lots. One of those displayed planes is Ted Williams' F9F Panther jet fighter. Ted Williams as in, the Ted Williams Tunnel in Boston, MLB hall of famer, John Glenn's (the astronaut) wingman. Moving to the second tine, you get Jamestown island. The southernmost part of the island is Beavertail State park. There's several small pits there where AA guns used to be, and another sealed off bunker. Further up Jamestown island, directly across from GSO is Fort Getty

[@nans969]

You did a great job with the filming, story and the history.I was born and raised in RI. I don't live there now. I have never heard of this. Last summer went to point Judith had lunch at George's. If I knew, I would have checked this out. I have lived in 4 different states( husband was in the navy). People do not realize how awesome our history is. Frankly, many people didn't know RI is even a state. Yes, very true.

[@williambowman8384]

If you look behind the the fire control tower, you can see evidence of a wooden roof, the fire control towers were designed to look like houses, as our videographer said. There are actually four main gun batteries, and I believe 2 coastal smaller gun batteries. In Narragansett there are two 16” gun batteries, one in Fisherman’s memorial park and one in Ft Greene. There is also a smaller coastal gun battery at Pt. Judith. In Sakonnet Pt. there is one 16” gun battery, and one 8” gun battery(which has been demolished), and a smaller coastal gun battery which has also been demolished. The batteries and coastal defenses were generally set up the same way. I was actually very lucky to find and go through all of these locations years ago.......pretty amazing. Thanks for the video.

[@hernerweisenberg7052]

Why go through the trouble of making them "Bunkers" in the first place? the walls appear to be about one foot thick, a .50cal could probably punch through that, not no mention a naval threat.

Jason, thank you oh so very much. I've been a follower (relatively new) of yours and just the narration, the editing, drone shots, has improved so so much; leading to a more immersive experience. I absolutely love history in general, and to find it here in RI in such an intimate way is so amazing. Thank you for what you do to us, you are literally actively preserving history. History that may otherwise be forgotten, especially ones that are in our backyard. Keep it up!!

I’ve been getting into lighthouses and local history. Was down at pt Judith the other day, so cool didn’t know about the battle of pt Judith at all. Can’t believe there’s a u boat off the coast! Great job with all these videos. Was cool to see an older one. They keep getting better and better!

[@redfire122]

I have watched a couple of your videos so far and wanted to tell you how much I appreciate them. Most youtube videos of abandoned places are done by people who have no desire to research the history of the places they are showing. Most I consider nothing more than trespassers. Your videos on the other hand are entertaining and educational. Thank-you for your work.

@@MrJDawg1337 just go to beaver point, the bunker there is open and it is the same design as the Point Judith one. Both had 2 rapid fire 6” naval guns that were armored covered. They had a range of 12-15 miles. The big guns up the road from Point Judith at Fisherman’s and the active base Fort Greene all had 4 total 16” naval guns that could shoot 25 miles. Only Fort Greene is unassailable but is in the best condition as is the command and control bunker.

[@patrickmccrann991]

Never heard of "Magnetic Depth Charges" and I have studied World War II history for more than 40 years. Depth charges used a hydrostatic pressure fuse to explode. You set the depth, drop the charge, and when it reachs set depth it explodes. Hedgehogs were an ahead thrown weapon like a mortar, 24 in a pattern, and exploded on contact with the sub. Those holes on the wreck look like Hedgehog impacts not the results of depth charges. Depth charges would likely crack the pressure hull not blow holes in it. Also, Hedgehogs were the preferred weapon as they didn't roil up the water like a depth charge pattern. Otherwise, your video seemed very well researched. When I was a 7 or 8, my father took me to that area to see the remains of the gun batteries from the war. The guns had been removed but the sites were still there. There were a number in that area as Newport was a major destroyer base during the war.

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

For some reason I wanted to look into this. Can find references to them being used by USN, probably late in the war, notably: "Magnetic depth charges were also tried, but reliability problems precluded widespread use although the results obtained were outstanding," whatever that means. Magnetic mines had been used for a long time, why not?

[@slothdaddy5]

There is still unexploded ordinance around the vessel marked on charts, and you can swim off during a good dive to find them.

Thanks and looking forward to more of your work. Don’t forget there were subs spotting groups all around the east coast. I visited one at Manteo, NC and there’s is good history on sub traffic around FL too. As the German Kriegs Marine used to say, “Happy hunting!”

[@sarge6870]

He didn't intentionally kill his sub mates. He also didn't ignore the cease fire order as mentioned, his radio was out. In his mind, he was still fighting a war and was following directions. Loss of communications is not a reason to end a mission. He was doing what he was trained to do. Any Veteran, such as myself would tell you that. Hard to fathom how close the war got to our East Coast.

If you visit Maine, up in the hill overlooking Popham beach and Fort Popham, is Fort Baldwin, an abandoned era fort with bunkers and a similar concrete triangulation type observation tower.

[@raymondbergeron2853]

The mission of these U-boats were not only to sink allied shipping, but to place saboteurs on beaches to destroy targets of opportunity such as defense plants and I'm pretty sure that Rhode Island had a P.O.W. camp. There was a book I had once titled "Defenses of Narragansett bay" that was about all these forts and batteries including Fort Addams in Newport.. If you want to know about the Navy's role in Rhode Island go to Barnes and Noble' s local history section and there is three books there about the Navy in Newport and the Seabees in Davisville. Many pictures.

There is quite a larger bunker system on Jamestown at Fort Wetherill. It faces south and you can see both Point Judith and downtown Newport from it. Rather impressive. Most of it has been sealed, but not all (the last time I was there). Explored them ages ago, very narrow corridors, high ceilings with rails on them to transport shells/ammo? There is an entrance to the bunker system on the cliffside, but it's ~100' above the shore and 25' down from the top. Inadvertently popped out of it while exploring.

[@mikefishhead]

Hi Jason like your channel there are tons of artillery sites in ri . when I was a quohogger I would beach my skiff on a shore on some of the islands and some islands in the bay still have antiaircraft weapons laying in weeds and overgrowth. Prudence Island is one. You can still find old corroded ammo on the beach when we get storms.

[@fnln544]

I really appreciate the past service of the US Army Coast Artillery Corps to quietly safeguard coastal areas; at least until the large cannons were fired with rattled civilian nerves and broken windows.

I grew up near these, I always wondered what those buildings were whenever we went to the lighthouse beach. I thought they were an old school or summer camp. Me and brothers used to go into the bunkers that have been blocked off and light fireworks too. It was pretty terrifying and definitely not safe to go in. It's a memorial site now. Love your stuff, I'm curious if you've done the anything on the bunkers at fisherman's memorial camp grounds. I remember me and some friends used to go in that place growing up too. I'll have to see what else you've done.

[@mikescott8225]

They were a summer camp. I summered nearby beginning in the early 60s and I can clearly remember the concrete structure shown with its cottage camouflage intact (wandered through that and the then open bunker countless times). There were two additional concrete shells looking much like this one does now, and several other wooden buildings which I assume were the barracks built in the 1940s. The city of Providence would send teenage boys here for a week of camp until at least the early 70s. The basketball court was likely built at that time, and probably the two buildings that remain there, one most likely being a dining hall. Over the years the other two concrete structures - I always assumed they were pillboxes (note the metal brackets above the window slits) for defense in the case of an invasion - were torn down, the barracks were the next to go and by sometime in the 80s the remaining property was fixed up for use by senior citizens on day trips from the city. As stated, it's been unused for 20 years or so, but facing some criticism the city began restoring the two buildings in the fall of 2022.. so maybe the seniors will be back. Also, this was just the forward position of Ft Green.. the main battery, a pair of 16" "battleship" guns were in the bunker where Fisherman's Memorial Campground is. There was another 16" gun battery in Little Compton and these two could lay down an overlapping zone of fire covering the entire entrance to Narragansett Bay, protecting the Naval Base at Quonsett and countless other military facilities up and down the bay. There's a book titled The Defenses of Narragansett Bay in WW2 that details the many coast forts, bases and the submarine net that closed off the bay from the URI Bay Campus to Jamestown

[@raymondbergeron2853]

Very well done, great footage at one time there was a net that stopped U-boats from entering the bay, also three of the German sailors bodies were removed from the wreck and were buried in a Newport cemetery. The German government told the people who retrieved the bodies to leave the rest in the wreck. My grandfather was an Armed Guard member, they were US Navy gunners on Liberty ships against German U-boats in the battle of the Atlantic.

The water was shallow, ergo the U-boat remained in shallow water. Knowing it was a submarine, I giggled when you said flank speed (seven noisy knots). If the radio was broken, he didn't know to stop. If he didn't know to stop, how could he have "wasted" those lives? Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

Great video. I was stationed in Newport with the USCG several years ago. Wish I would have known about the history around Point Judith.
