Strait of Magellan Timelapse

[@WestPhillyNative215]

Greetings Chief MAKOI, awesome video! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@IronmanV5]

Thanks for posting Chief. Fair winds & following seas.

[@DamonMcEwan]

My ship transited the straits in 1994 after 6 months on patrol in the Falklands, unfortunately we ran aground in bad weather. An interesting 32 hours followed as we fought to save the ship.

[@MikeWood]

Nice work on the time lapse, Chief. I am sure my great great grandfather transited the Straits more than once when he Captained a tall ship in the 1870s travelling between England and New Zealand and back. Trips that were often 100+ days each way. His ship, then called the Euterpe, is now a museum ship in San Diego called the Star of India.

[@richardcarter5314]

Not to detract from your story, but my guess is he used Drake's Passage. All the same, amazing men and amazing seamanship.

[@williambarry8015]

I just looked that ship up. That thing is stunning and it still sails. If you havent sailed on it i hope you get to do it one day.

[@MikeWood]

@@williambarry8015 I actually have. It goes out most Novembers for an annual day sail into the Pacific. I flew to SD and was a guest of the museum and got to go out. Usually it is a lottery for museum members to get sail tickets but I got a nice VIP pass. That was nearly 20 years ago and I still think fondly of it. :)

[@kenmeyer5930]

I was on the Star of India a couple of years ago, in port. I didn't realize it actually leaves the harbor. What an incredible ship that had several 'lives'.

[@juliemaloney6585]

Fantastic vid really injoyed it really relaxing to watch

[@boomr334]

My travelling days are over. Thanks for providing a powerful view of a sight most of us will never see

[@frankbarnwell____]

Super excellent Chief. The straights of Magellan was on my wish list in the Navy. They sent me to the Mediterranean and Africa

[@gerardjohnson2106]

👍👍 Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@fredfred2363]

Wow, so many twists and turns. Without a chart or modern navigation, this would be difficult. I was hoping there'd be a tiny inset map with a dot to show where you were during the passage. Next time? Great video! Rare video...

[@roconnor01]

One of the sea transit passages I have always wanted to make,that and Cape Horn.

[@processserver8470]

Hey 👋 👋 Chief Makoy! Greetings from Greenwich London ⚓️⛵️ Cheers ☕️🫖👍🌹✅

[@verpacas2374]

While I was reading the information in your video, it slowly came back to my mind during my elementary days when this was taught in our classroom . Thank you for that piece of history Chief Makoi...

[@deepinthewoods8078]

My god! It's even narrower and twistier than i ever thought. The first crossing by the expedition of Magellan (who couldn't know how long and tricky the passage would be) is a truly epic accomplishment...

[@richardcarter5314]

It's an even more amazing achievement if you track it on google earth!

[@jerryhan9668]

Nice time lapse video Chief... waiting for the next one//

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

That was an impressive time-lapse. Chief. Well done.

[@Inkling777]

I've heard that a member of Magellan's crew was someone from the Philippines who'd made his way to Europe. When their expedition reached the Philippines and he recognized his native language *he" became the first person to circumnavigate the world.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

You heard wrong. It was a guy from Brooklyn.

[@Basta11]

That’s was Enrique of Malacca, Magellan’s slave. He’s not from the Philippines but Malacca. He was able to communicate with the Cebuanos because he spoke Malay which was a language of trade in the region.

[@bradley-eblesisor]

​@@thereissomecoolstuff There's always a wise guy! 🤣

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@bradley-eblesisor always. Still a remarkable story. Forgot it from school days.

[@KellyS_77]

Lovely video and beautiful musical choice!

[@ChiefMAKOi]

Thank you very much Kelly!

[@JoeGiz64]

Beautifully produced time lapse and very educational. I always learn something about life at sea, beautiful ships, and world ports from your videos. Arguably one of the best channels on the tube! Bravo!

[@lilo7019]

Thank you very much for sharing take care great video

[@gregknipe8772]

looks like pretty good weather for this region!!

[@pipedemon28]

Great video. I very much enjoyed it.

[@bobeckman5454]

Love the time lapse and history lessons!

[@jonathanflores2610]

Good video Chief, greetings from the naval shipyards of Chile.

[@ebanggm]

Interesting facts , thank you for sharing this video , great info 🌻♥️🌻. Sail safely and have a nice day 🚢⚓️🚢.

[@Hans_Niemand]

Awesome, Chief!

[@nvragn]

Always a pleasure to see your new content 👍🇨🇦

[@TexDrinkwater]

Thanks for sharing this view of a beautiful, but dangerous, part of the world. The history lesson is a great bonus!

[@craigtimmis2056]

Lovely video.

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

My strength through out my education was history. Ay 65 I am still studying world history. Tranquil beautiful timelapse. Wonderful lessons and presentations. Thank you Chief Sir. From Bakersfield California USA

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great vlog as always boss! Another first Chief? Suez, Panama and now the Straits of Magellan. Keep up the good work. Be safe!

[@phillipseaton7163]

Great video stay safe

[@MurrayVoightSr]

This one is your best! Thank you Chief.

[@AAAAlberto]

Good video! Bye from Italy 🇮🇪

[@johnyarbrough502]

Thanks, very much, Chief. It's one thing to look at the passage on a map and another to see, especially in a time lapse, the number of islands in the way. Brings home the risks that were taken by mariners on sailing ships without detailed charts and today's navigation aids.

[@allanmason7544]

a fantastic vid chief more please

[@DJ-bh1ju]

Lovely... not your usual style, but lovely in its own way... Thank you. Using the Straits, even in their twists, turns and slower speeds is far better than rounding the cape in open water...

[@BikeNewLondon]

Thank you Chief Makoi for another outstanding technical shipping video, with a detailed history lesson. I thought about you this weekend while standing at the memorial in our city in Connecticut, which commemorates all of the men and ships of the merchant marines lost during WWII.

[@busydadscooking001]

Neat! Looking at a map, I never realized it's a huge maze of islands. Beautiful with the sun out too.

[@fatty3383]

My son went through there when he went around there..the scenary from the photos were absolutely amazing..when he got out into the Pacific he caught the tail end of hurricane or a storm.

[@theflyingfool]

Great timelapse Chief! I can't help wondering what Magellan and his crews would have made of modern day technology, making a transit in only a "few" hours or so.

[@jimgates2518]

Great Video! Thank You Chief! This is the only way I will ever experience this trip! How appropriate that it was raining. I shall save this for watching again! Thanks Again! Silver City, NM

[@russcrawford3310]

I'm glad your company insists on safety ... looks like the Columbia River what with all that rain ...

[@Inkling777]

Was your ship taking the Straits because of the current low-water backup affecting passing through the Panama Canal?

[@frritter8253]

Great video Mark! ... loved the way you edited it...music, pace, subscript... all perfect! Thank you for sharing, Safe travels.

[@Shipspotting_Vietnam]

Wonderful!

[@johnkelley9877]

Great video and history! Thanks for sharing this Chief, it was very interesting.

[@captbitz10519]

Nice videos you make Chief Makoi, very informative of the situation of seafarers when navigating the high seas. Safe voyages to you and all of the crew of your good vessel. Take care and Stay Safe always. GOD bless you and all of your companions onboard and of course "El Capitano".

[@markmark2080]

Thanks Chief, hope you were able to spend some time above decks while going through there. Straits, island groups and rivers are always an interesting change of pace and sometimes the boys 'down in the hole' miss some of the more beautiful sights... A small YT channel 'Captain Sergiy Kostanovych' has a couple nice short and interesting videos of the Strait of Magellan also, really nice guy...

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

When you consider a circumnavigation in 1522 with a completely unknown planet and ships of questionable construction and engineering. The early explorers were 100% badass. From Magellan to Balboa to Columbus to indigenous explorers from all over. God rest your souls and thank you.

[@jamesbuckner4791]

When they set out on the expedition, those ships were the best ships in the world. Spanish/Portuguese and belgiums were some of the first peoples to actually have a working concept of making proper sail powered ocean going vessels.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@jamesbuckner4791 correct. In the 1500’s. It was a miracle they survived. Would you agree. Just the navigation alone should have had them running aground etc.

[@strongmermaid4651]

Awesome!!!

[@wekker090]

Nice, first had to look up its location.

[@ashj_2088]

Verry good chief .

Beautiful beautiful work chief

[@jamesdoe3553]

This is the closest any of us will ever get to the Straight of Magellan. Safe travels mate.

[@pete3897]

Any? No. Many? Maybe.

[@lizj5740]

That's as close as I care to get, thank you. Reading accounts of early sailors who navigated (or tried to navigate) this strait put me right off. Love from Liz and Ginger (pic left) in Australia.

[@rockfishmiller]

Very cool Chief. Showers mixed with rain, at times heavy.

[@codegame027]

What month of the year was this recorded?

[@C2Baird]

Oh Wow, so amazing, I had no idea. Thanks for the insight. I kinda love that the landscape has not changed since the 15 hundreds. It goes to show that we are but, ships passing with time eternal.🙃

[@CajunGreenMan]

Great video! Nice to learn that the Indigenous Peoples of Filipinas were able to protect themselves from at least some of the colnonizing forces. Keep up the great work!

[@johnpaulhenry2566]

Very enjoyable. Thank you!

BZ Chief....I don't know you rules on naming ships so I won't say which one I was on....1971 U S Navy frigate DLG on a UNITAS cruise ....we passed through the straights going W to E....I'm glad we didn't experience the roaring 40's.....besides the awesome views the thing I remember most was the shores on both sides were lined with penguins.....your certificate must be a new thing....we didn't get one....I'm just happy being a shellback .....great video.....RD3

[@danellsworth7102]

Chief Makoi That was cool! thank you.

[@srr10]

Thanks for a great video, Chief!

[@Don.Challenger]

Chief MAKOi, very artistic exposition, I expect the engines are buffed and polished so they feel predisposed to work without fail through their passage (would you have to paddle if the pilot light went out?).

[@felixthecleaner8843]

That was really interesting Chief.. I can see why you'd need a Pilot to guide you through all those islands and reefs - awesome stuff!

[@frfrpr]

I have never seen the ceiling so low (cloud cover) first time thru the Magellan Straight. Glad to be led and introduced by a Filipino

[@donnairn3419]

Are you there as an alterative to the panama canal that recently has been motioned as having reduced capacity because of lack of rainfall?

[@mikedx2706]

Looks like Chief Makoi had relatively calm seas, even though the weather was raining.

[@dtfoel1230]

nice segment chief - just imagining how hard the journey was in those type sailing vessels your video gives a visual. of that area. although magellan's journey is documented there is a lot of unwritten history of ocean travels

[@321zipzapzoom]

Great content as always Chief, are there more islands enroute.

[@Xantec]

was this route taken because of the southern ocean being so rough ?

[@zalzalahbuttsaab]

We wish we were there

I enjoy your videos.

[@superpuntar]

Great video, thanks!

[@gaius_enceladus]

Great video, Chief! Gosh, with the countless bays, twists and turns and the coastline going this way then that way, it's amazing that *anyone* could find their way through that strait! Not only that, but being able to create a map that was good enough for others to find their way through - that map-creation can't have been easy either! Have you been around Cape Horn, Chief? I'm guessing possibly not, given that few (if any) cargo ships go that way now but I thought I'd ask anyway. I haven't - the only ships I've been on are ferries, mostly across Cook Strait here in NZ......... :) Keep up the great work! I love your videos!

[@stephenalexander6721]

Dang! That sounds cool.

[@vyacheslavyevseyev5235]

La Santiago never crossed the Strait, the ship went under half a year before off the shore of Patagonia... La San Antonio did not complete the crossing while deserting halfway and returning to Spain via the Atlantic...

[@Backroad_Junkie]

How many ships are going this route due the backups at Panama? Edit: Oh yeah, nice video! 😁

[@PavlosPapageorgiou]

Cool, I always wanted to see that place. Preferably on a real ship.

Unique images, thank you Chief. Did you navigate through Drake's Passage, and by chance have you read any of his exploits?

[@thecelticprince4949]

Looks vicious enough for a powered vessel, imagine being at the mercy of the wind only on a sailing ship of old.

[@kevinbradt835]

chief MAKOi how does your ship get its internet

[@티지-p1x]

hello. I'm curious, so I'd like to ask a few questions using Google Translator. I heard that smoking is allowed in ecr. However, according to MAKOI's experience, I am curious whether most foreign companies allow smoking in the ECR or only a very small number of companies allow smoking.

[@snubbedpeer]

Sometimes it looked like the deck cranes were moving 😄👍

[@markakira8988]

Thank you for mentioning Lapulapu and the Battle of Mactan and how Magellan wasn't the first to sail around the world, his surviving crew were. I remember getting in trouble in grade school because I argued that it was unfair to say that "Magellan was not killed by unfriendly natives of the Philippines". History was rife with bias back then, making the explorers the good guys and natives evil. My dad grew up very close to Magellan's Cross in Cebu.

[@Odin029]

The first person was probably Magellan's slave Enrique who was from the Malacca region, so once he reached modern day Malaysia he'd been around the world. Most of the rest of the crew had to get to Europe, but I guess we'll never know for sure.

[@cestmoi1262]

Your sentence contains two negatives. In other words: he was killed by friendly natives. I think that is even worse and where is the bias?

[@Odin029]

@@cestmoi1262 English might not be his first or even second language. How about we not get pedantic

[@cestmoi1262]

@@Odin029 English is my second language and it seems to me that you speak it just don't understand what is being said.

Sir Chief binigyan din po kayo ng Piloto ng certificate for passing the Magellan strait nong nag transit kayo diyan ?

I can see why a pilot must be hired to guide the ship thru that passage.
