Prinz Eugen Shipwreck | JONATHAN BIRD'S BLUE WORLD

[@josiahricafrente585]

After years and years of searching, finally, I have found this show again!

[@ny6u]

I dove this wreck back in October of 2003. One of the two stern shaft propellers had already been sent back to Germany by then. This was my first and only NAZI shipwreck dive and it was breathtaking.👍🏻

[@ShahinWadud]

I am always get lost hearing amazing this intro music! ❤

[@stormysampson1257]

Look up the videos on "Zimmy"...the guy that does all of the music on Blue World! I agree, I LOVE the intro music. They have ONE dude in charge of the sound tracks including each and every second of Blue World.

[@Izzoroth]

Interesting, I've always wondered what happened to that ship after the Bismarck sank. Thanks for the upload, you answered my question :)

[@TonySnuff]

you are awesome and i love the videos, keep it up and always looking forward to seeing more. you inspire me to keep getting out in the water and seeing the amazing spectacles below the water.

[@LukesYuGiOhChannel]

Great ship.

[@David-iv2sf]

This video is GREAT!!!!!

[@sitkadiver40]

Another great video Mr. Bird. Please keep up the good work and dive safe. Also, If you haven't read "Battle in the English Channel", it depicts the run up the channel made by Scharnhorst, Gneinsenau and Prinz Eugen. It's a quick and easy read.

wow Jonathan I can't believe I haven't seen this one I can't wait to watch it ..... thank you Mr. icon ! ! !

[@cocotheminipanther6145]

More videos!these are amazing!

[@jmac055]

I used to live out there as a child and would go through sar pass to go deep sea fishing every weekend. to get there we would drive right by the Eugen. Seeing this brought back so many memories of my childhood. Hope u got to do some fishing as well :-)

[@overtext]

+jmac055 wow that's amazing...i thought it was a private military zone

[@JadeYueRyu1]

It is. However, there is a large precedent for military bases to allow families of staff to either visit or live on base. In fact many military bases have their own school systems for precisely this reason. Our main base in Japan is a good example and it is classified as a private military zone.

[@WildBillCox13]

Forgive my possible gaffe, but calling the Eugen a "Nazi" ship is like calling the "USS Ronald Reagan" a "Republican" ship . . . which it is not, political jokes aside. Eugen was a German ship, deployed by the Kriegsmarine, a notoriously non-nazi clique. The individual sailors serving on her might be Nazis-or they might not. Their nationalism was, in the main, motivated by German ideals, not specifically Nazi ones. Also, a great post and I quite enjoyed it.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Hmm. Commanded by the Nazis during WW II, involved in the sinking of the HMS Hood, while commanded by the Nazis in WW II. Surrendered to the Allies at the end of WW II--by the defeated Nazis--as part of the surrender agreement. Exactly what part of it being a Nazi ship is in dispute? Revisionist history. Not calling it a Nazi ship is a stretch.

[@RenegadeSamurai]

Well the Kriegsmarine often disagreed with the Nazi regime, they just did their duty they had as Soldiers.

Great story about prinz eugan..so close to shore

[@RenegadeSamurai]

As far as I know, the fact that she was build with steelplates that were welded together instead of the conventional method back then, brought her to her fate. The Americans wanted to see how welded steel will react to the nuclear detonation. Sad...

[@NguyenLyubyuStrana]

They pronounced it Prinz Oygen!!!!!,Finally someone pronounced it right

[@BlueWorldTV]

We try!

[@Thesandchief]

Did you explore the Nagato and Saratoga?

[@spiritsofhell]

You should come to Newfoundland and Labrador I think you would enjoy it as in the summer months we have hundreds and hundreds of whales come here and there is an estimated 8,000 shipwrecks on the sea floor around Newfoundland and Labrador. While many of the submerged vessels succumbed to perilous ice and storms, four were victims of German U-boats during World War II. Of those, the SS Lord Strathcona, located in Conception Bay near Bell Island, is just 89 feet from the surface and the most accessible. With visibility here at 80 to 100 feet, torpedo holes and other features are easy to see.

[@BlueWorldTV]

spiritsofhell I have heard amazing things about diving in Newfoundland! I want to be there when a Narwhal shows up near an iceberg. How often does that happen?

[@spiritsofhell]

BlueWorldTV It is a little bit rarer then say seeing a humpback whale (which come here in the hundreds) they show up here the most in April and the best place to go in newfoundland for Narwhals is in CBS.

[@jerlynvillagracia3890]

Ive been watching your channel the whole day. I dont have experience with diving, but it just fascinates me seeing the world in the ocean! Thanks for these videos.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Binging!! I love it, we need the views!! Thanks!! :-)

[@mikemalloy966]

I spent 3 weeks at Kwaj as a communications contractor back about 2003. I did some skin diving on my days off, but I wanted to ask how they let you on Kwaj??? I had to have "orders" that let me on the atoll. If not you have to stay on the plane until it gets to Guam. Plus, I don't remember the German ship. Was that out by the airport end of Kwaj?

[@BlueWorldTV]

We did a big film project there and had special permission from the Army to dive there. One of the guys on the film crew worked on Kwaj as a contractor for Raytheon, and he made the whole thing happen. It's tricky. Here's the film we made, you can watch it on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Silent-Wrecks-Kwajalein-Atoll/dp/B000G7P8AE

Explore the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald!

[@cassandys5216]

PCMasterRace I wonder if dead bodies would be found 🤔

[@李子栗子梨子]

You need a ROV or a submarine to explore the Edmund It’s so deep(170 meter) and cold.That is not possible to dive.But it looks better than the ships those sank into the ocean because not so much stuff are covering on it and no rusticles(Lack of oxygen and it’s in freshwater).

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

@@李子栗子梨子 its technically possible for the right Suba and defiantly possible for Surface Supplied diving (though I don't think anyone has attempted either) However, their is kinda a bit of a legal mess around the wreck.

[@DoubleD56]

Canada government will not allow divers to visit the wreck.

[@sirboomsalot4902]

Expeditions to the Fitz aren’t allowed due to the families of the dead requesting it iirc

He is just learning phonetics, and your name is one of the first words he wants to learn to spell. Can't you see we are a big fan of you? :D Thank you for the great videos!

[@thenoblegerman2637]

Aden xiong no problem

[@harleysauditoryfocus9929]

The fact that you can almost identify a torpedo even though it was rusting is amazing.

[@whiteheatherclub]

A very interesting video. One small correction. The Prinz Eugen was not surrendered to the Americans. It ended the war in Copenhagen harbour and was surrendered to the British. The British, the Soviets and the Americans drew lots for the German Navy surface ships which survived the war. It was as a result of that that the Prinz Eugen ended up with the Americans. The article on the Prinz Eugen in Wikiepedia reports that “The guns from turret Anton were removed while in Philadelphia in February (1946).” I wonder what happened to them.

[@BlueWorldTV]

That is true, but was more detail than was required in our story.

[@whiteheatherclub]

Yes, but all you needed to say was 'given to the Americans' rather than 'surrendered to the Americans'. It's just a case of accuracy rather than great detail.

Air burst didn't do much critical damage to any warship, close or far away. The underwater test was however. The U.S.S. _Nevada_ was about 1km. away on the first test, and about as far as _Prinz Eugen_ on the second. It was towed to Pearl Harbor, then offshore, and sunk for target practice.
