I went on the Malcolm Miller sail training Tall ship back in 1981 between the 29th March and the 11th of April, i was 17 and it was one of the best times in my life that i have never forgot even though i am now 56.

@@pumpkin91ful Depends actually, you can refer to a ship as a she, he, or it if you want. People normally call ships she. However in some countries like Poland, the ship's "gender" depends on the name. ORP Błyskawica(or lightning) is considered female because of the name. Bismarck is a male because of the name too.

1000 litres of fresh water was pumped into one of the four fuel tanks in Brighton. Tests after salvage indicated that the main engine had also ingested fresh water, without power the wind had driven the ship onto the rocks. The Astrid was deemed too expensive to repair and was scrapped.

Amazing video! I am an ex Merchant Navy mariner, and my Farther spent his final years in Kinsale, and now lies buried there. My Dad and I spent some wonderful times sailing around those waters in his Westerly 29 whenever I would visit him. He was a well known member of Kinsale Yacht Club, and that is where we held his "wake". I was once introduced to the skipper of the "Astrid", although his name now sadly escapes me! I had no idea she went down. Iv'e been retired and living in SE Asia for 15 years now. What happened, do we know how She ended up on the rocks?

Hi Douglas, it is my understanding she had engine trouble in Oysterhaven the night before. Instead of going well outside the sovereigns clear of land the skipper took her inside the sovereigns, lost his engine and was on the rocks in minutes.

The Bounty was showing about 20' of Mastheads where she went down...the time to get her was "immediately" before the sea consumed her...but there was too much grief from the loss of life to think about that...funding at this point would be astronomical I would think...just my humble opinion.

No lives were lost in the process and the descendants of those settlers still live on the island today.

I was working in kinsale at the time. I remember passing the emergency vehicles while I was travelling the back road to Crosshaven. I remember it coming into kinsale harbour on the barge it was a very ghostly image. Hard to believe it was that long ago. Edit. I was also present at the auction of the LE Emer when she was sold in the hotel in Carrigaline by Dominic Daly. Second edit. At 4:42 the MY Llanthony can be seen in the background. She was a Dunkirk ship with a very interesting past. The company I worked with handled the sale of the boat to a retired British army officer. I took her west to old court with Davy Hyde of Crosshaven and another gentleman for preparation before she was taken to England. We woke half of Kinsale at 4:30am that morning starting her up.

So she was indeed - She came to the Weymouth Harbour Festival in the mid 1990s and her crew, augmented by Lieutenants Liz Lyon and Mark Lapping, (both of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards based at Bovington RAC Centre) acted a fun scene being boarded by pirates under Captain Gutbelly (all military from Lulworth) which ended with Gutbelly walking the plank and lots of staged cutlass fights in the rigging. Earlier in the week Astrid came round to Worbarrow Bay to pick us up for a rehearsal on a beautifully sunny day and we were struck by how majestic and beautiful she looked! After rehearsals and lunch onboard some of us who lived at Lulworth Camp dived in and swam to Arish Mell beach then walked home up the Lulworth Gunnery Ranges, having first dried ourselves in the sun while watching this wonderful ship sail back into Weymouth. Unforgettable sights and this always breaks my heart seeing her demise!

The direct cause of the ship's grounding was due to engine failure as a result of fresh water contamination of the engine's fuel, which occurred by human error when the water was taken on board in Brighton on 12 July 2013. There were 23 teenagers and 7 adults on board, consisting of 24 trainees and 6 permanent crew. Pieter de Kam was captaining the ship. The MCIB found a "catalogue of failures and breaches of international regulations", including unsafe route planning that was influenced by photo opportunities rather than following the safest route

I think some Aussie bought a lot parts from the boat masts and cabin pieces that could be pulled out in tact. My son law is currently stationed in Sydney says he knows of the company that bought most of the pieces for reuse. He says they have a huge yard there scattered with vintage tall ship parts. That's the rumor he told me he loves watching the yard on his days off has a zero maintenance home so he goes there and watches them restore tall ships. He's like 7 years from his full 20 years and he plans on applying there for a job says he learns alot from just watching the people in the yard working on these great ships.

Dirt and oil etc. but it is very important and necessary to have skilled engineers backing each other up with good communication. I cannot place blame here without facts of why Astrid met her end so dishonourably. I can say "Damn Shame, Damn Shame!" I hope lessons were learned.

Looking at the condition of the hull after being raised it was inevitable she sank. Needed more then tlc.

the damage to the hull came from being battered on the rocks, it was a fine vessel before she sank,

well indeed you'll be right, it was launched in 1918, and was lost in 2013, in which, the video shows you the ship after it sank.

Too bad they couldn’t get it off the rocks sooner, by he time they were able to raise it it was too far gone. At least the mast was saved.

Very impressive story behind the Astrid and a very sad ending. Going off Wikipedia many mistakes were made that ended up in the ship being pulled apart. For it to have been rebuilt in the 80’s and then scraped after she sank makes you wonder whether she was offered to the public or the insurance company just scraped her to get some money back.

Sad. From what I read, the damage was so bad(the hull really took a beating from what is shown in the video) that she was deemed too expensive to repair, and was later scrapped. She was made for the Sea, and the Sea claimed her.

What happened to the CS, asron and all means that she wasn't saved. What's left is pathetic travesty of a grand clipper, one of the greatest. The "restoration" is pathetic.

Ships like this should be left in their watery graves. The costs of this recovery are a waste of money. This wreck would be completely gone in a few years.
