The Adella Shores Mystery

[@colin-nekritz]

Sad how forgotten the Great Lakes shipping history is, appreciate all this channel does.

[@kk_doomsday92]

You should go watch the history mystery man KZbin channel too if you like great lakes shipping fyi he does racing in summer the great lakes shipping history in winter

[@SandraVargas92]

It's true, the world really should study American history more is very important

[@claudiadarling9441]

Animating the water around the picture of Adella Shores, putting snow on top, and then fading out the Shores to show her disappearance, was a really nice touch.

[@robertmoffett3486]

In my old age, I wonder at my youthful enthusiasm for going to sea. At least in part, because of your excellent, but tragic videos.

[@johnwurfel2862]

It's romantic to live fast and die young and tragically than to rust and wear out. Eternity is forever for those that love God and this life goes fast, either way.

I was on a cross-country drive in April, and stopped for a short break at a spot overlooking Lake Michigan -- looking out over that inland sea, I couldn't help thinking back to this channel's videos, and all the stories you've shared of the tragedies and loss hidden in its waves.

[@kittybitts567]

A sad but beautiful respectfully made video. Thank you for keeping the memory of the men and their boats lost on the Great Lakes alive.

[@jeremylittle1581]

Your editing style, and non-dramatized presentation are two major parts of why I love your videos so much. One of my favorite KZbin channels, easily!

[@nonna_sof5889]

The guy's coat being found sounds like a case of paradoxical undressing that happens in the last stages of hypothermia. Other symptoms are severely impaired cognition, hallucinations, and feeling extremely hot. He probably jumped in the water either to cool off or lured by a hallucination.

[@Kaidhicksii]

Messed up stuff right there. Poor bastard... 😢

[@DerekPetersonLives]

That was my immediate reaction as well, probably better than finding a body ripped by seagulls

[@Kadenite]

[@DerekPetersonLives]

Why did I hit that timestamp, I'm trying to get ready for bed XD

[@Redblockish]

It's easy to wax lyrical about your killer use of historical footage, maps, etc. to really set an appropriate tone, but man do you ever deserve praise for the sound design in these videos. I normally watch via iPad speaker, and re-watching this video through some nice headphones gave me goosebumps. Well done as always!

[@aprylrittenhouse4562]

Oh I know. The ones with acoustic guitar are my favorite. I listen to them over and play along with my guitar

[@Ohiotrucker1]

It's spooky that the Morrell and the Adella encountered each other during a storm.

[@clarsach29]

i thought that too....I don't recall, was the Captain on the Morrell that day the same man who captained it when it was later lost?

[@Ohiotrucker1]

@clarsach29 no he wasn't

[@andrealee8796]

Both were seeking shelter in white fish bay so no it isn't.

[@DerekPetersonLives]

I'm so thankful for all the historic footage found for this video, it's actually impressive, I didn't even know this much existed

[@Emanuel_carey]

Indy born and raised. My wife is from the Lake Michigan region, Indiana side. Going to Chicago or Michigan(west coast is the best coast) particularly south haven. It’s crazy to see all the history of lakes. I’ve also driven the M35 at night, in a snow storm, at night… before knowing.. that if I slid off.. it was probably goodnight for my friends and myself. I love the Midwest, and learning about the Great Lakes

[@jetsons101]

Finding the wreck must have provided closure for the descendants of those lost.

[@patricialessard6787]

Yes, it is sad that we were not taught about the lakes and the areas around them. We weren't taught about those areas and the ships like what we were taught about the rest of the country. I'm learning so much from you and it's entertaining plus sadness . Many things that I didn't know. Thanks for bringing all this amazing history and for all the work you've put into it. 😊

[@kovacsj7823]

Someone recommended your channel at Oceanliner Designs, and i'm happy i gave it a chance. Now i have many days of content to watch between you, Maritime Horrors, Part Time Explorer and Oceanliner Designs.

[@rottenroads1982]

@@BigOldBoats, I too enjoyed your video. And your videos wouldn’t be complete without the music to accompany it. So now to the Question at hand. A question about music I heard in some of your previous Great Lake videos. The Lake Huron Disasters Video (specifically at the start of the SS Kaliyuga section) and the Daniel J. Morel video to be specific. I have comments in those videos asking about a certain music track in those videos (and it’s a different music from the Web of Lies music). I would like to inquire the name of said music so that I may add it to my Spotify music list.

[@c-man7740]

A special thanks to you to keeping the stories of these ships and their crews alive. I also could not help but feel a strange sense of foreshadowing that the Morrell of all ships was the last to see the Adella and her crew. Well done!

[@BillAlexander-cv6oj]

Its ironic that about 57 years later The Morrel would meet the same fate in Lake Huron during a Nov Gale...

[@이이-n4z8y]

It absolutely isn't. That's not what irony means. You meant coincidence.

[@BillAlexander-cv6oj]

[@neptunenavalmods4420]

Sad story, but well told - and it was surprising to see the Daniel J. Morrell make a cameo appearance - poor thing met her own end several decades later. It's dangerous out there for ships of any size.

[@melodymichaelis8783]

It's so cool that they found the wreck

[@Dakiraun]

When you got to the part of it being lead by the Daniel J. Morrell... yiiiiiikes. Two doomed ships, just... a few decades apart. I'm glad the wreck was at least found - good to know where it was, and that the story can be retold like this.

[@sinnedsinister]

I knew this video was coming. I saw the footage of the wreck's discovery. This is the 3rd wreck I've seen discovery footage of, then you make a video a short time later. Thanks. Truly. Now I know of this ship's history, as I also learned of the others history.

[@crazyDIYguy]

My God you can tell a story. The music, the cinematography, everything is beyond amazing. You really have a gift and you'll be one of the greats. 💯

[@hughwalker5628]

Superb, as always! I've said it before but the the wrecks of the Great Lakes have phenomenal potential for a feature film. We've had Titanic, A Night to Remember, the Poseidon Adventure - but none about these tragic, heroic vessels and their crews. I can think of nobody better to write it!

Fascinating video, as always! I love that you are following up on wrecks that are still being discovered in the Great Lakes. I invite anyone who is interested in shipping to come over to my hone state of Michigan and check out our many ship museums and lighthouses across the state. The Dossin museum in Detroit, the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point, the Point Betsie Lighthouse museum by Frankfort, and many more.

[@Weretyu7777]

Welp, guess I have a new channel to watch for tales about various shipwrecks! You have really caught my interest with your videos, and I appreciate that you do your best to bring a sense of humanity to these disasters. Also, funny how the Morrell was the last ship to see the Adella, only to disappear below the waves of the Great Lakes herself years later. I wonder just how many of the ships that last saw some of these wrecks eventually met their own ends on the same lakes...

[@crono_8398]

[@Bethlam]

So many people hear “lake” and think calm waters and not very deep. The Great Lakes, honestly, should be called fresh water oceans. The Great Lakes have riptides, huge waves and some surprisingly deep. Even in the hottest of summers the Great Lakes are still surprisingly cold. Lake Michigan scares the crap out of me and don’t let my kids swim in it. Lake Huron and Superior are my favorites. I try to visit both every summer.

[@Gegengrupenfuhrur]

No, Poseidon doesn't want water as an offering, only alcohol may christen a ship.

[@sreed8570]

Its safe to say the gods of the sea have more than enough water at any given time, best to stick to booze.

[@JackJankowski-v7y]

Well said comrade.

[@markcarpenter6020]

Anytime I hear about logging I remember pictures I saw from the 1800s. Where I live it's still considered rural but there are pics from the 1800s of loga so big they were shipped one per rail car. Tree trunks so large that after the tree was cut down they turned the stump into a house. An I'm not talking redwoods or something. These were regular pine trees. The US used to have some truly amazing forests.

[@ohioguy215]

Not many pirates but the Brits did try to control the lakes. Battle of Lake Erie At dawn, 10 September 1813, a United States Navy lookout spotted six British vessels to the northwest of Put-in-Bay. A battle ensued and the Brits were defeated. In the 1920's, during prohibition, boats were running liquor from Canada across Lake Erie to various drop off points along the US shore.

[@naughtiusmaximus830]

Amazing how many europeans were working the Great Lakes.

[@felixcat9318]

Until prohibited by law, companies sent out neglected, poorly maintained, unseaworthy vessels into known dangerous conditions, soley to gain profits. They couldn't have cared less for the well-being and safety of their crews. When their vessels sank, they did everything possible to protect their reputation, fighting bereaved families in court. Quite why crews accepted these conditions is a mystery, one would have to be an imbecile to go to sea aboard a vessel that they knew full well was a grave danger to her crew, and was dangerously unseaworthy. Yet this is exactly what they did, dead crew don't earn wages for their families, yet they still set out in dangerous vessels... Until their luck ran out!
