Sinking Ships Caught on Camera

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Something sad about any ship sinking. There is a feeling of loss that I cannot explain. Great show today.

[@JigglyBlubber]

All the time, effort and material needed to make the ship lost. Lives potentially lost. And then there's the terrifying inevitability of the sinking itself. Once a ship starts taking on water there's basically nothing that can stop it.

@ While it is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I wouldn't copy it exactly, as I feel it would be off-putting to _Oceanliner Designs_ subscribers. You could try mashing it up with other greetings like maybe legendary broadcaster Walter Winchell's classic opening line and a synonym for or addition to 'friend': *"Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America, and all the ships at sea, this is your loyal friend, co-conspirator, and criminal accomplice, [your name here], coming at you with more content that Big Engine™ doesn't want you to know about!"* BTW, I'm a huge fan of Stirling engines.

[@llxx0715]

The footage of the István sinking literally made me gasp out loud! How terrifying that must have been for all aboard as it violently flipped and flung them into the sea, into each other, or into the ship itself.

[@Ah01]

That was abysmal incompetence by the commanding officer, not to evacuate most of the crew of sms Szent Istvan in good time and leave only small groups of damage control behind to battle the flooding. After the main gun turrets were turned to counter the list, there was nothing much to do for most of the men. There would have been a lot of time to do that, and absolutely no need for most of the crew even to wet their feet.

[@Pisti846]

RE: Mike's voice Mike has the perfect voice, enunciation and accent to be a narrator for documentaries or newsreels or a news presenter on television or radio.

[@stevenkarnisky411]

My father was a young Coast Guardsman who was present at Normandie's disaster. He was assigned to help with crowd control around the pier. The next day his patrol boat was in the slip next to Normandie, close enough for him to reach out and touch her hull.

[@m.h.7364]

I love that the Île de France was nicknamed "the Saint Bernard of the sea".

[@airplanemaniacgaming7877]

She quickly sailed to the rescue, and saved the passengers of a stricken vessel, like the famous good doggos. Just like those goodest bois (and girls), the Île de France deserves the love.

[@steven6709]

Actually caught on film is the partial sinking of the Ile in the movie "The Last Voyage", on her way to the scrappers, which was the plot of the movie. The French Line demanded that her name and colors be changed. I don't know of any other movie where a real ship was sunk. One of my favorites even if the acting is only so-so.

[@jupetownsend4171]

Great way to start the day: with my friend Mike Brady

[@delta_4209]

Thank you for this my friend Mike Brady !!

[@BNuts]

Knowing how many ships have been Frankenstein'd back to life makes the claim _Olympic_ was a loss after her collision with _Hawke_ seem even more outlandish. Especially a ship that's made of sections of three ships. Also, this video featuring both _Morro Castle_ and _Normandie_ , which inspired Gibbs's fanaticism toward fire safety perhaps points to a future video about the _SS United States_ , given she's being prepared to be towed to be prepped for her final rest?

[@browncoatkevin]

A previous video of his about unusual ships also featured a Frankenstein ship. It took two "Tribal"-class ships, the "Zulu" that had lost its aft half and the "Nubian" which had lost its bow, and welded them together into the "Zubian" - confounding Germany, who understandably had no record of the ship's existence. The difference between the ships at the joining point was only a couple inches at most, too, so a quick and dirty job made one working ship out of two broken halves.

[@Martial-Mat]

I don't know why, but there's something particularly poignant about stricken ships. Maybe it's their size representing the lives on board, or the size representing the scope of human achievement yet frailty.

[@MyDiverseLifeVlogs]

[@raquellofstedt9713]

My mother did as well, she used to take my sisters down there to walk by the piers and look at the ships there. She always said the Stockholm and the AD were moored beside each other, and the AD was such a lovely ship.

[@the_lost_navigator]

I started learning about shipwrecks after watching the newly-released movie 'Raise The Titanic'. I started reading every book in my Grade-School and local Library, especially after my Mother told me she remembers watching the Noronic burn one night in her youth. From Morro Castle to the Queen Elizabeth's fate in Hong Kong, I soaked up more information over the decades than is held in the registers at Lloyd's of London - yet here I am listening and learning still... To me, I regard the Stockholm (in her iconic 1956 livery) as the smartest looking vessel of them all, and still remember My Mother pointing out Ruth Roman in some movie long after she saw the picture in one of my books of Ruth Roman walking down the plank after surviving the Andrea Doria. Respect, Mr. Brady.

@@diannebdee I recall on a history video there was a man with a film camera on the Titanic the night of the sinking. It was said he filmed things going on the boat deck and put the film in a metal film canister and when he found out he couldn't go with his wife, he tried tossing it to her and it unfortunately fell in between the gap into the water.

[@JordaneseTyphoon-jk6fr]

I also don’t know if it’s real or not, but I have seen a video or two of a 10 second piece of footage that claims to be of it sinking, seemingly taken from a lifeboat. I’ll add a link if I can. I’ve also at one point seen approximately 5 minutes of footage that claims to have been taken by someone who was actually in the titanic at that moment filming it inside while it was sinking, and at one point they were seemingly standing under a skylight when it broke and flooded, and the footage glitched after this happened, apparently because they drowned after that. I haven’t been able to find the full footage since, but people have uploaded bits and pieces of it here and there

Funny trivia about the Andrea-Doria 'killer' Stockholm is that it was restored and served 4 years later as cruise ship for East Germany almost until the collapse of the wall.

[@AbbyNormL]

I’m a former submarine sailor and watching ships sink has always been fascinating to me. On one side, there is the thrill because sinking both surface and submerged vessels is what we do. On the flip side, it is also something that could be done to us. Kind of like watching a horror movie and waiting to see if the person jumping out of the shadows is friend or foe and fearing the unknown more than the actual monster once revealed.

[@mellissadalby1402]

On the Great Lakes in the USA many large bulk carriers "lake boats" have broekn in half and sunk. These all happened in storms of course. The Carl D. Bradley, the Daniel J. Morrell, and of course the Edmund Fitzgerald, to name a few. There are more but those are all the names that come readily to mind.

[@CliveReddin]

The Noronic burned in Toronto Harbour. If you check out the Harbour Castle Westin hotel, the Noronic burned right where the lobby is today. I believe there is a plaque to mark the dock that used to be there. The Horticulture building at the CNE was turned into a makeshift morgue. Many passengers were never identified and are buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto. The burning of the Noronic was the death knell of the great lake cruise ships with their painted and varnished woodwork. Fire sprinklers were ordered to be fitted to the ships but many companies seeing the end was coming and the great expense scrapped them. Cedarvale was rammed and sunk near the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor and Detroit. If the river is clear enough, you can see her on her side.

Please do a video on the Leicester, the Liberty ship used for commercial service after the war. She ran into a hurricane and her ballast shifted, causing a 70-90 degree list. Her crew were rescued by a passing ship, however the Leicester remained afloat for almost a month until she was found by the Foundation Maritime company out of Canada. They towed her into a safe harbor where there was another hurricane/tropical storm that wrecked Foundation's prize tug. Truly amazing story. There is a fantastic book on it written by Farley Mowat. Please make a video on it.

[@karengarrison3666]

I don't know why sinking ships or colliding ships fascinate me as they do, but it is a type of weird obsession I've had since childhood. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and wished for more lol! Perhaps my deep interest stems from my life living near the St. Clair River and Lake Huron. I recall a time a lake-liner rammed into a dock and ground ~ the forceful impact actually tossed children living close by out of their beds! Others felt the impact for miles! Also, I remember another time a liner grounded herself on a sandbar. It was a bit of a strange sight to know the water depths from dockside were deep, only to find a sandbar further out from that point. And it seemed like such a long time passed before the liner was assisted off that sandbar. Or the time two liners collided underneath our Bluewater Bridge, halting many oncoming liners from Lake Huron. And yet, I feel such sadness seeing any ship damaged and going under. Thank you Mike Brady, this is my cup of tea! 💙

Honorable mention: SS Ile De France. Before she was scrapped, she was used as a prop in the film "The last Voyage". It wasn't really sunk but they basically destroyed an ocean liner from the golden age on screen. France threw a fit and the film makers had to change the name of the ship on screen.
