American Civil War Iron Clad

[@athenaclarkesheward6150]

As the Stunt Co on this film this was so much fun to do .....Happy times ! and the closest ive come to a western so far.

[@savagetilley2782]

I LOVE TO see an entire civil war movies like this.

[@SimCityEA1989]

+Savage Tilley IKR!

[@savagetilley2782]

Leonardo Mendez YUPP!! we need more Civil war movies. hell i'd be happy with a Philippine american war movie. A new one wit ha bigger budget.

[@SimCityEA1989]

+Savage Tilley An Entire civil war NAVAL movie?

[@savagetilley2782]

Leonardo Mendez YEAH!! ironclads are amazing!!

[@SimCityEA1989]

+Savage Tilley Dam I like you already XD I FUCKING LOVE IRONCLADS AND STEAM BOATS!

[@georgeofhamilton]

This was magnificent, a very epic scene. I can see why this film was so expensive.

[@na3044]

Too bad the rest of it is shit.

[@georgeofhamilton]

@@na3044 You’re outta line…but you’re right.

[@lastgreen007]

awesome scene. I hope they make a movie about civil war era ironclads some day.

[@5peciesunkn0wn]

If they do make one, it'll be Hampton Roads. I say "Mississippi Campaign". Soooo much more they can do with that.

[@seankean4101]

@Sakkra101 I've seen the movie ironclads the USS monitor was the first ship to use a rotating turrent it became a technological achievement of it's time.

[@receiving9067]

They kinda did. It was a TNT tv movie called Ironclads

[@MacquarieRidge]

The official ship of "that one bounced!"

[@Nanjing03]

The HMS Victory would probably not fare well since the CSS Texas was steam powered, armored and capable of ramming. However, there were iron hulled, ocean going "blue water" ships of the 1860s like HMS Warrior and USS New Ironsides that could outfight shallow water and coastal rams like CSS Texas, Memphis, Atlanta and numerous other rams that were not designed for the high seas.

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

funfact, the Confederacy ordered multiple "blue water" ironclads, but thanks to aggressive US Foreign Policy, the vessels never got to see service with the confederates. Most well known examples are CSS North Carolina and CSS Mississipi whom if they had arrived, would have completely overwhelmed any and all vessels in the US Navy. However, they were impounded and adopted by the Royal Navy as HMS Scorpion and HMS Wivern.

[@WiseOldBill]

The ironic thing is these ships were brilliant because enemy fire bounced off and they could ram wooden ships. However there was a slight problem when the enemy had on, battles could rage for hours and sometimes both ships would retreat with minimal damage.

[@Shadowkey392]

Enemy fire didn't bounce off. That only happened up until they realized that they could do more damage by loading their guns with their maximum-rated charges instead of the lesser charges they were using.

[@na3044]

Virginia used shells almost exclusively though, since she expected top fight wooden warships. There were plenty guns already around that could penetrate ironclad armor at the time of Hamptonm Roads. Ever since Rodmans casting innovations the bigger guns on both sides, Brookes and Parrot Rifles and Rodmans Monsterguns (the 20-inch was just a marvellous thing)... the shells of Virginia already spanged riverts of Monitors armor and dented it... had she used solid shot... but on the other hand the same holds true: before Rodmans mettalurgic studies of gun casting they tended to suffer from unequal cooling and weakened steel, frequently bursting and requiring cauteous powder charges, Monitor supposedly used reduces powder-charges... but her 11" Dahlgren Smoothbores were modern casts. That's another thing there, Monitor used bigger-caliber smoothbores (said 11" Dahlgrens) whereas CSS Virginia had Brooke Rifles for half her armament, albeit at 7" a smaller caliber. Both sides had guns that with a good chance could penetrate armor, though these were pretty expensive and rare. Still, the scene where the bog shore-gun pens the armor is pretty realistic. Forts were often equipped with stuff like that. A big columbiad or Parrot Rifle was an expensive thing.

[@xxShadowStorm14]

I love the ricochet at 1:39.

[@charlietheanteater3918]

(Sees clip) A movie that actually shows a civil war ironclad battle! WOW! The rest of the movie must be fucking awesome! Let’s see what it’s called! (Looks up movie) Oh..... never mind :(

[@nathanamorley]

The movie this is from is called Sahara

[@MrChurros]

It's one of my favorite movies, so I would say yes.

[@sassycassy]

This is one of my favorite films too

[@Crash-zm2qd]

I saw iron clad being filmed at Hawley lake back in 2004 I used to live behind Hawley woods we found out something was going on and being filmed so we decided to go up and see it it was all dark and I saw ironclad on Hawley lake and smoke being fired at it and floodlights everywhere and some kind of artificial shrubs blocking lake to create scenery I ended up running and tripping up on something and had to go home but it was amazing to see it.

[@sassycassy]

Great story....love it!!!!

[@libzbond]

Beautiful ship

[@tiagandremo]

love this movie the ironclad fight at the begining is awesome

[@ifcdirector]

War drives technology.

[@masgtai]

If the rest of the film had been this good....

[@Terry9624]

In fact part of it was built but never finished. A shortage of sailors for one and she had a sister ship that did fight but ran aground .

[@EdisonCollector]

One of the best first five minutes to a movie ever filmed! They really did not follow the book that well, though. For those who never read it, Abraham Lincoln was aboard the ironclad in the book.

[@IronRooRoo]

Yep, he's obsessed with boats getting half way across the world, that's for sure. Remember the viking ships in the Hudson? Classic. :D!

[@davevelez4283]

What movie was this from? I'd like to see it.

[@kamechas]

Sahara (2005). But it's the only scene of its kind. Later we have the modern era.

[@Admiral_Merrick]

What is the name of this movie? I would love to watch it

[@dmechanicodude3960]

If only we had a movie about the Mississippi squadron.

[@westvirginian7412]

Proud to be from a southern Union state. Cheers to y'all, from West (by God) Virginia.

[@jrn-mariustyrsett6058]

Best part of the movie

[@NovaCat045]

I loved this movie, and I was surprised as well. Then again, considering what mainstream people consider quality (Justin Beiber for example.) I am not so surprised now.

[@JuanJohnSmith]

I remember seeing this movie but what's the name of it?

[@kamikazeboy123]

@SaintsSpecOps Sahara,this is the only historic war scene ,the rest are present day adventure movie.

[@MONTANI12]

for those who want to watch the movie, it is called sahara

[@mudog65]

A representation of the CSS Texas.

[@Wolfreiser]

I thought it was the Virginia...

[@Terry9624]

Not sure if it used coal or wood for fuel. Either way they would have had to use currants allot but I do agree,making it to Africa would be hard at best. The Texas class could run up to ten knots a better design then the Merrimack. It could run a blockade and once past Monitor types it may well have gone up coast as wooden ships were no match for them, Monitors were not sea worthy and could not pursue

[@Karagianis]

There is no way you could run a blockade in an Ironclad, they were the slowest ships in the world. There's also no way you could have ever sailed one across the Atlantic ocean, even if you filled every space inside it with coal it'd still have run out! Typical Clive Cussler plot in other words! LOL

[@generaltodd2]

What is in the boxes marked "CSA" that they load onto the Iron Clad?

[@akessel92train]

Gold. Confederate civil war gold.

[@spikespa5208]

One of the best lines in the film: "I assure you there's no gold belonging to the United States of America."

[@LoneWolfMcQuadeUSA]

I hope that music is not un the movie. Does not go with the subject matter at all and is very unnecessary.

[@luvmedearly77]

I wish I knew the title of this movie. It looks pretty good for the first 3 minutes anyway

[@georgeofhamilton]

+Mike Herron If you would still like to know and have not found it, the name of the movie is "Sahara."

[@spikespa5208]

A film the poster of this video clip couldn't be bothered to give credit to. Even in the description.

[@lyquidsnake4202]

What. Movie was this from

[@nairda55555]

What i'd like to know is how these ships (specifically the css texas) would fare up against the aging and slowly outdating 1st rate ships of the line (such as the hms victory).

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

at the Battle of Lissa 82 gun ship of the line, SMS Kaiser managed to hold off against two Italian Ironclads. Basically, Kaiser was able to make holes in the ironclads with her guns and lived to fight another day (and be converted into an ironclad herself).

[@Cladenny]

@nairda55555 you would be intrested to know that when iron clad ships thought eachother the battle would go on fore many hours they just keep shooting untill they all out of amunition the shots would just bounch of eachother

[@Briselance]

What movie was it, please?

[@connorkilgour3374]

Sahara

[@krisvires]

I wanna watch the movie about what happened these guys...

[@dragancevap7912]

CSS "TEKSAS" Bravo JUG..👌

[@kamikazeboy123]

@FatalWolf93 Looks like i have to repeat it for the third time,its called SAHARA.But let me remind you,this is the only scene your gonna see the ironclads in action.the rest will be present day fighting.wanna know more,juz go to wikipedia.

[@TheNecromancer6666]

The guns actually Look like 8" Dahlgrens.

[@nairda55555]

@Cladenny true true. But considering a heavy first rate has 120 guns and about 500x times the ammunition supply of an iron clad this would be a true test of steel plate durability. i mean sure a single plate or armor can deflect 1 or 2 shots wihtout leaving a dent, but how would it handle a dozen cannoballs simultaneously bearing down on it again and again and again?

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

there was a "ship of the line" that stood up against Ironclads and survived, SMS Kaiser of the Austrian Navy, ironically after the battle she herself was made into an ironclad.

[@spikespa5208]

nairda55555 You assume the fire from the ship of the line would be so accurate at any appreciable distance. Might not have the time to hit the same place over and over. During that fight the ironclad will be chewing up the ship of the line with explosive shell fire with fires being started all over the ship. Either be ripped to pieces or burned down (unless the magazine goes). And if there's no wind? Fore and aft raking fire would do it in pretty quick.

[@kamikazeboy123]

@generaltodd2 not pretty sure bout that.but one things for sure that its valuable.

[@Soundwave3591]

more because it left out a lot of features of the book it was based on....a very common feature from books of that author. see "Raise the Titanic" for another example.

[@SaintsSpecOps]

what movie is this

[@tiagandremo]

my guess would be it is either gold or ammunition or something like that

[@RobertsonBrendyn]

That Iron Clad ship is the CSS Texas. It never made is pass the drawing broad.

[@susboichooy]

Anyone know the name of the song in the end ?

[@spikespa5208]

"Right place wrong time" by Dr. John.

[@paqgames9838]

This is the opening scene of Clive Cussler's Sahara

[@anabilrahmangaming7622]

Like tradelands Neptune lol.

[@dragancevap7912]

Is from "Sahara "movie.

[@BHuang92]

dragan ćevap Yep

[@o3941]

And yet, Ironclads DID run blockades.

[@davidvanderven]

Battle of Hoth from a different point of view...

[@AR-ky4bl]

From which movie is this clip?

[@kamikazeboy123]

@blackandgold51 yeah,but nowadays,i thought warships are made of steel and in some cases aluminium??

[@JoshuaJames604]

what film is this

[@badguy1481]

Is this "fact" or "fiction"? Never heard of such an iron clad helping to evacuate Richmond. I find it hard to believe the Confederacy even HAD such a ship after the Merrimac was scuttled.

[@erwin669]

No Confederate ironclad ever ran the blockade as none of them had the range to make it out to sea. The Confederates had about 30 ironclads built during the war, the issue was that their engines tended to be underpowered for their weight. The largest Confederate ironclad CSS Tennessee was built in 1864 and fought at the Battle of Mobile Bay (she was commanded by the Merrimack's commander and was forced to surrender after her rudder chains were broken). The National Civil War Naval Museum at Columbus, GA has the hull of the CSS Jackson on display

[@badguy1481]

@Sakkra1993 Amazing. I had no idea there were so many. How little we know...about a lot of things.

[@IronRooRoo]

Gold.

[@timbaker3622]

what movie is this from

[@Pilum1000]

what is this is movie ?

[@stargate-fan65]

sahara is a good movie

[@caseykaijones2925]

Is that the CSS Albermarle?

[@Shipwright1918]

This is fictionalized version of CSS Texas, from Sahara, a film adaptation of Clive Cussler's book.

[@gabitex]

World's First Battle Ship?

[@Wolfreiser]

U-boat

[@gabitex]

Wolfreiser That thing can't go underwater

[@Wolfreiser]

Apologies, I thought U boats were Submarines that couldn't submerge.

[@gabitex]

Wolfreiser If a submarine can't submerge , it is not an submarine , just a god damned ship

[@gabitex]

Wolfreiser I wasn't even being rude with you , I was just explaining to you , so chill the fuck out , I am being hated alot for being a brony , how could you get me to be hated more than I am already , Besides if "a few people receive your apologies" on youtube , You must be saying some really disgusting bullshit , so you can't do anything because it's not Me the problem , and I don't blame you , just think before you type anything on this thing , you know there's bad stuff coming in return.

[@galbatros1]

inside the boxes is CSA gold!

[@jacopo854]

whats name of movie???? please!

[@ashuri599]

jonata micheli "Sahara".

[@stardestroyer555]

In which film is that scene?

[@MrChurros]

Confederate coins, very valuable Confederate coins.

[@SFsc616171]

They already had, before the Internet was around. You can find it on videotape! Oh, that's right!You were still the gleam in your dad's eye, then!

[@Soundwave3591]

actually, it's several thousand dollars (several HUNDRED thousand in today's money) in Confederate gold.

[@notamexican91]

if it was 1865, they wouldn't have been flying the first national...

[@RiderofRiddermark]

It's the gold reserves of the confederacy.

[@garrickanderson4533]

What kind of cannonballs were those?

[@victorhugocarballo]

+garrick Anderson 'Sahara

[@Shipwright1918]

Exploding shells, basically big iron cherry bombs filled with gunpowder. They've got a fuse that's lit when you fire them from a cannon that's got an adjustable burn time so it will, theoretically, explode once it's travelled a certain distance. In the heat of battle, you had to guess at the range, since there wasn't time to really measure it, hence why there are a lot of shells that are exploding early and late. They also had a nasty habit of exploding inside the guns, so all in all, they weren't the best things in the world. The French came up with them in the age of sail, I believe those were called Paixhans guns.

[@REALjohnmosesbrowning]

Doesnt seem like a great ball to use when your trying to take out an ironclad.

[@Shipwright1918]

Well, ordinary cannonballs just bounce off the sloped sides of an ironclad. They do leave a big dent when they do this, but it would take repeated hammering of the same spot to actually punch a hole in the side, which wasn't always doable. In theory, if you could get the exploding shell to blow up just as it touched the side of the ship, the explosion coupled with the impact would blow a hole in the side of the ship with one or two direct hits, but as I mentioned earlier, it was difficult to get them to blow up just when you wanted them to because there really wasn't time to take the range perfectly and get the right amount of powder in the fuses to make them blow up X amount of seconds later, they had to be prepped and fired on the fly, essentially guessing, in the heat of battle. The same basic idea is behind the shells on the battleships which are the direct descendants of the ironclads, except that battleship shells explode on contact instead of by time delay, and there was dedicated range-finding equipment and electro-mechanical computers to do all the necessary calculations and aim and elevate the guns.

[@o3941]

Shipwright1918 You're not wrong on modern (WWII modern, that is) battleship shells having a contact fuse, but the contact fuse would arm a delay fuse that was often no more than half a second.

[@Jerry-yj5zb]

Movie?

[@Cladenny]

@Cladenny it sure nab at your ear drums

heheh i can just imagine an iron clad fighting battles during the 17th and 18th centuries XD 1 ship v 200 ships, iron clad wins

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

actually, if the wooden ships guns could punch through it stands a chance

[@CustomScale]

"DAkotatokT"

[@tobinarmbrust6475]

Ammunition and guns.

[@jamesheina3337]

I am a Texan and I like this scene, very well made. Though not true to history my assumption is that the captain was smart going silent given the cargo and mission (and noticed that the union was using incendiary cannon rounds and shooting low). Also they could drift out silently of union blockades. Once out and clear, they could restart engines and go where ordered. But I assume they could not restart the boilers or possible damage later and was at the mercy of the sea.

[@MikuTetofan]

Who needs speed when you got armor?

[@TrapCat]

armor alone wont help, eventually you starve or they get through the armour.

[@spikespa5208]

Or now days, stealth.

[@Ryac3]

@generaltodd2 it's confederate cold coins

[@kamikazeboy123]

@JoshuaJames604 its "sahara".

[@MrLecours]

@generaltodd2 Boxes of Confederate gold dollars, in real history there was only 5 confederate gold dollars made. But this movie says that the Confederates loaded an Iron Clad with thousands and thousands of dollars worth of gold dollars, then crossed the ocean and crashed in Africa

[@Soundwave3591]

several thousand dollars in Confederate gold Coins.

[@kamikazeboy123]

@ankaraquaking yeah the movie was great from the start,but it gets average when the modern era takes over the rest.Looks too "holywoodish"...
