​@PartTimeExplorer your work by far is the best I've found on KZbin. Your narraration, the graphics, the extra attention to details draws me as well as others to your episodes. You draw your viewers back in time when this and other events happen, like we were there to witness it at that given time. Thank you so much for being the great person you are and doing these episodes I really appreciate it. Hope you and your family have a great weekend. Sincerely, Erik from Delaware

Hi Tom. This was a thoroughly and well researched video. My father painted the painting of The Hungarian (Gerald Smith). I grew up with my father, who grew up on the Cape, telling me the story of the shipwreck. He felt overwhelmed by the sadness of the loss, and you have relived it for me. I came across your sister video about the Cape, and then watched this video that was sent to me by my cousin Johnny Nickerson (not of hot dog fame, but another JN). My father also did a painting of the replica of The Bounty as it sailed out of Halifax in the tall ships show before it succumbed to Hurricane Sandy. Great video, from one history lover to another.

I hadn't much interest in the topics of this channel until a few months ago, but when it was recommended to me by the algorithm on a whim, I clicked and ended up binging like 30 videos in a row. The substance is wonderful and the presentation is remarkable. I certainly hope this channel gains more and more traction.

When I was in school I used to look up obscure wrecks all the time and I came across the story of the SS Hungarian. I got strangely fascinated with it given how little info was available on it to me, and I remember explicitly looking forward to someday in the future when a full-length documentary was made about it. I even made a little balsa wood model of the Hungarian when I was about 12 which I still have Today that long wait for a better historian to do a deep dive into the SS Hungarian comes to an end. Blessings onto you Tom for bringing this tragic and underrated story into the spotlight

@newcarpathia9422 More than taste he demonstrates empathy. I can feel the cold biting wind, the heavy soaked garments, the fear, yet hope, of my fate. My hands are numb while clinging helplessly to rigging. The terror and guilt if my children are there. And my personal thankfulness that I will never be in such a situation. If I ever cross the Atlantic it will be between May and August. I know there may be hurricanes in those months, but with modern technology I will hope for good officers who will avoid them and I will still be safer than driving on an interstate with Semis running me off the road. I guess more people survived the crossings back then than not, which is why so many continued to do it. Brrrr!!! 😭😱😰

A very tragic and almost forgotten ship accident. I was blown away by this awesome documentary. You're dealing with the historical background, the story of company and ship, talked about different fates of those onboard, the impact it had to the people living nearby, ofcourse the technical and nautical background to the disaster (as far as it can be reconstructed based on known facts), you payed respect to the victims and travelled to the differen locations related to the accident, ... This is absolutely amazing work and I am sure it was a lot of effort. But you really connected with this disaster and it's story and you give us viewers a much deeper insight and connection than any TV documentary could do. And in addition you put this awesome animations in the video to visualise the tragedy. As someone who is into ships and ship accidents, I enjoy your content and your way of doing this documentaries. I am sure this was a lot of work and effort, but I can ensure you this was absolutely worth it and pays tribute to those who vanished on-board HUNGARIAN. Thank you so much for this awesome video of an almost forgotten chapter in maritime history!

As a Hungarian mariner I love how the most famous ships named after Hungary or related to Hungary are the Carpathia (helped in the Titanic rescue effort so connected to a disaster), the SS Hungarian (sunk) and the SMS Szent István (got fucked by a torpedo in WW1 after doing barely anything). We are awful unlucky when it comes to seafearing but that wont stop us trying :D

The attention to detail and the personal response of Tom to the victims is touching; the empathy this evokes is profound - how can you not feel for the captain who, with all the best intentions entrusted his wife and baby daughter to the Hungarian? I have enjoyed all the films you have brought out and am prepared to wait: quality over quantity wins every time.

Beautiful documentary about a horrific wreck. I love how you weave the human interest stories into the story of the incident. It heightens the gravity and ensures these souls are not forgotten. The story of Ella and her mother is heart-crushing. That poor father/husband probably went to his grave with that regret weighing on his heart. I don't have any children, but I do have 10 nieces and nephews who are my pride and joy. Thank you for telling these stories, no matter how difficult they are to tell.

frankly speaking, more and more content creators on youtube are producing documentaries that are better than discovery channel or national geographic deserve. i highly recommend, if you enjoyed the type of stuff the aforementioned TV channels (used to) offer, please consider checking out Defunctland, BobbyBroccoli, Folding Ideas, Mentour Pilot, Cold Fusion, Jacob Geller, LEMMiNO, Miniminuteman, Muncat, Plainly Difficult, Summoning Salt, aaand i could rattle off another dozen, but here's a selection with a variety of different focuses, exactly like you'd expect to find on a TV channel with "Discovery" in the name. as a kid, i loved all of those science-history TV channels, equally as much as any of the "kids" channels like Disney or Nickelodeon, but as an adult i find that they're now infested with reality tv junk, and they over-indulge conspiracy theory nonsense, giving a platform to complete hacks with zero credentials. youtube is now the place i look to find genuine, compelling, and informative documentaries, created and presented by small teams or even single individuals who simply have the passion and the drive to make great stuff - for FREE.

I went sailing on a small boat once in Alameda Bay, horrific, all we did was tack, no time to eat or drink at all. Though my grandfather sewed sails for boats on the far east coast, i will never sail again. Say I went on a cruise ship, I'd never sail in steerage that's for sure. And nowadays those are hardly as lovely as these old ships. Used to hang out in old cemeteries and do the sketch paper copies of them. Thx Thomas as always for your great research.

Firstly im going to say, much respect to the officer on the Hungarian who pulled himself to the surface, that guy was 100% bad ass. Secondly, I love how this guy is 100% fact based telling us exactly what is known while letting us know what is assumed and making a clear distinction between the two. He is clearly knowledgable about sailing and that compliments the story in a way that most others are unable to do when they simply re-tell a story.

Simply outstanding. From the script to the animation, the high quality is there. You and your team deserve so much recognition for all the hard work you put into these documentaries. Well done, Tom. For the short time it was in service the Allan Line Hungarian certainly made a name for itself, thanks to Captain Jones and the crew. Its ultimate fate and that of the souls on board is very sad. A small note of interest: I had this rumble going through my head after hearing the surname Nickerson. I knew it from somewhere else. Sure enough, it was Thomas Nickerson's. The cabin boy of the Nantucket whaler Essex. Wonder if they were then, and are now, related. Curiously, the ship that rescued Thomas Nickerson and two more was named "Indian". And to end in a lighter and more musical note, "Oh, just think of another song. I can't. There's only, like, three songs. Oh, that's true. And they're all by Stephen Foster." Cheers.

1) Boatman Nickerson shares his surname with the teller of the tale of the whateahip Essex which is the subject of the wonderful book by Nathaniel Philbrick. I wonder if he’s a distant relative. 2) what an interesting accent he has. Is it local to the island in that part of America /Canada? Great vid thank you once again Maxy H, Yorkshire, England.

Nickerson is a very common name in that area (there are five Nickerson’s mentioned in this video alone!), and the area was mainly populated by settlers from New England in the 1700s, and Essex sailed from New England, so they’re certainly all branching off from the original family. His accent is unique to this part of Nova Scotia, but his is the strongest I’ve heard. It was great spending the day with him and he was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and its waters.

I am a local. It is definitely a local accent but our ancestors came over from Cape Cod (Nantucket Island as well). My maiden is also Nickerson lol.

@@PartTimeExplorer I love these bits of local knowledge and insights. I’d love to one day visit US & Canada as one of my best friends here in beverley, Yorkshire is from Bible Hill near Truro and he’s told me all about NS. Thanks again for the vid. I also love your ghost town projects in rural USA.

1:00:00 Thank you for including the recording of this song. Dr. Turpin has a gorgeous voice. She has the perfect combination of spin and emotion within her vocals and so accurately evokes the style and genre of music from that historical time period. I could listen to her sing for hours.

I appreciate your analysis of the shortage of coal and what happens to the compass when the ship under sail drifts too close to shore . . . that makes perfect sense to a desert-dweller who grew up reading about the seas/ocean. I am curious about diving technology used by those working for the salvage company. Thank you for your in-depth videos/documentaries. Your research is top-notch.
