Boarding the Sunken Wreckage of Sweetwater Bay

Today we are in Scotland where we travel across the sea to a 50 year old shipwreck with a very interesting myth surrounding it. We attempt to board vessel and find out what happened and what condition the current wreck is in.

Nice work chaps, feel like you lived up to the 'Urban Exploring Adventure Show' monika again with this one! What's next? Are you coming back with Scuba gear? :)

[@SlipSlidinAway]

You 3 did a podcast a year ago that I just ran across in the back of your van sitting at the table eating popcorn. You should plan the New Year out with doing at least 1 a month or every 2 weeks. Why? Because you 3 are the most real explorers out there. You're not only hilarious but down to earth good people. I love you guys and I believe others might think this is a good idea also. Please!

[@anniejones1839]

That capsized ship was eerie

[@felineexceptional]

Been watching for what... 8 years?!! Al has become really proficient at climbing, obviously his "bravery" borders on the stupid, but we love him. You all bring something different to the content. I love how Norton has become a bit of a history boff.. And Lloydy brings amazing footage (and obviously edits everything into a watchable format). You're doing good lads!! Up the HOE!!

[@valium-fm7236]

That wasn’t rust cracking under your feets Al, it was 50 years of dried bird turds

[@backwards7]

You've been knocking it out of the park with these recent videos.

[@upthehoe]

We really appreciate this, thanks!

[@nickcatherall]

Hi guys I was living on the cost in Helensburgh at the time the ship went over and yes it did tune the water sweet for months

[@upthehoe]

Thanks for confirming the legwnd was true

After so many years of KZbin, I have never actively sought a new video before HoE, you boys are great!

[@731-l3o]

I had to half close my eyes when Al was jumping in 🫣

[@TheAcogshot]

Some of the most underrated content on KZbin. It's criminal. Like Al.

[@Montykoby]

You 3 lads should have your own TV show , top entertainment, good laugh and quality banter

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

Al is pretty badass, Norton too for climbing that hunk of rust even though he was not enjoying it one bit!!

[@Simon_W74]

The Birds are Cormorants. They are one of our oldest birds. They have to come out of the water to dry their feathers. Which is why you see them with their wings spread whilst perching. I wonder if Riber would give you touring kayaks to test out. Not as stable as a Sit on Top, but fast to paddle and can keep you dryer as long as you don’t capsize.

[@JasonBrinkley-ef4zg]

They need a couple of Hobies with the mirage drive

[@Simon_W74]

@@JasonBrinkley-ef4zg They do some amazing Kayaks. Plus know how to charge for them too. A Uni Lecturer used to own one of their Trimarans setups, that could be set up in a variety of ways. She used to camp in the same spot where we camp. She changed it a couple of years ago as it was getting a bit much for her to get onto her car. This year she didn't turn up It was another Hobie that she had, the drive was different, which maybe the one you are referring too.

[@cheeseborgeraedsa]

only Al would swim to a half sunken ship, reach 99 agility scaling the side and immediately piss himself on purpose at the top. Chad move.

[@UncleFeedle]

The sugar boat, as it's often referred to, is well-known locally. This is the first time I've seen it this close-up. It's bloody dangerous to go out there and climb onto it. Good job guys, but you took a big risk here.

[@deozeo4442]

Hi HoE! 👋🐈 Late to the party. What a fantastic adventure... for you guys AND for us! Jon and Al braved that tetanus ravaged ship and whatever bird poop bacteria/virus it carries (gives me the willies thinking about it!!). Lloydy... again super editing (love the motor oil bit) and the music feed added a lot of tense atmosphere. Reminded me sort of the music from "Ghost Hunters". Again, well done. Another epic film to go into your "Classics" box. Thank you. 🙏 Cyber hugggs 🤗🤗🤗🐈

[@NothingButElliot]

16:01 got to be one of the coolest shots you've got

[@annemariemccoll4215]

I remember watching this ship capsize when I was in Primary School. My class window in St Michael's Primary School in Port Glasgow at the top of The Clune Brae, looked out to the Tail Of The Bank ( the name of the part of the river you were at). The scene at the time was amazing if you could use the term to describe it. As a child in her last year in Primary School I thought it was amazing! I have never heard the water called sweet water bay . As for Norton washing his leg in The Clyde.....Not a great idea! The water is filthy! Loved your KZbin show. Brilliant photography ,thanks for the amazing shows. Keep doing what you'd do.

[@Kazza_8240]

I'm from the Port as well 😄 I went to Holy Family primary school, it's not there any more, and St Stephens, brilliant views looking across the Clyde, from all the front facing classes 😊 Edit - and my surname is McCall 😂

[@nenikiato3230]

Im thinking of buying that kind of boat/kajak/kanot or wth they're called, they look really cool, We call these birds Ålakråka in sweden, translation is Eel crow, or the correct name is Häger, its actually a bird related to reptiles/dinosours!! People used to hunt them like crazy here back in the day because they eat everything that lives in a lake, and fish was a big food source in sweden back in poor days. Maybe you could do some content in Sweden, its free and legal to walk and camp everywhere in Sweden / Norway.

[@tatertott2390]

Al is so brave 💚

[@ootommo1]

Whoa! 😱 I can't believe the content youse have been churning out lately. This is insanely high-quality stuff right here. Sunken ship exploration gave me chills and that hilarious banter between you lot is gold! I've always been intrigued by underwater explorations, and this one just skyrocketed to the top of my list. Keep up the great work boys! 💯👌

I can do heights but i wouldn't want to swim near that in that water. There's just something about it that freaks me out. Well done Norton.

[@KittyTheGoth]

That must have been cool to experience in person! As for the birds, those are Great Cormorants. Fishermen hates them because they destroy fishing nets. But on land, their poop destroys plant life and tree's, plus the poop smells horrible. Can't wait to see what you guys got next for us to see.

Let’s not kill jimmy’s son Al 😅

[@julest9423]

We need Al to weigh in here. Can you dive responsibly?

[@bloodredroses88]

@@julest9423you should check out Dive Talk, they make great diving reaction videos of idiots doing stupid things like this. To dive this ship responsibly, Al would need a Wreck/Cave Diving certificate, to get a wreck and cave diving cert, you need basic/advance open water certificates, line laying certs, the correct equipment (multiple lights, tanks, line, compass, correct gas supply etc) And you also need a dive buddy, with the same experience, and emergency plans. Basically he'd be required to have around 100+ dives of depths of at least 130 feet before even thinking about exploring a wreck, especially this size. Oxygen becomes poisonous below 10m under water also, so he'd probably need a Nitrox cert. He would also need to know how to frog kick and be extremely good at it, so he doesn't stir up the silt and cause zero visability. Any underground area with zero natural light and the inability to swim directly up is classed as a cave. To be a cave explorer and get the certification you also need 50 (i think) cave dives. Basically this ship would be a danger to even the most advanced divers because it's unexplored, not mapped and doesn't have line already in it. Without the correct training and certificates you'd almost certanly drown in a ship this size. Check out dive talk, it's an amazing channel and they react to lots of professional videos exploring caves and ships, they also react to idiots with zero training who go from swimming normally to getting lost and dying in the space of a few minutes (no exaggeration) There's also a fantastic documentary called Dave's not coming back, he set the world record for the deepest cave die, then he went back a few months later to recover the body of a diver who had previously drowned in the same cave 10 years previous. Dave got tangled up in his line during the rescue and within a few minutes he was dead. Cave and Wreck diving is seriously dangerious even for professionals when mistakes are made. Edit: just watched Dave Shaws last dive video, it was 56 seconds from being tangled up to being unconcious and then drowning.

[@waiouru1971]

That really was a weird noise though. 😮 I noticed the noise occurred only after Al entered the water. Also his opalescent crystal was glowing like fuk when he clambered into the dingy. Awesome vid guys.

Looks like access holes have been cut with oxy torch after it went over possibly to salvage anything of value. I've seen videos where folk have used underwater drones on a tether to explore stuff like this, not too expensive, could be interesting.
