[@tullyontherocks]

"lived in relative peace for thousands of years." I see this concept used constantly in modern interpretations of history. It's hokum, and is a trope to to any serious students of history. "Thousands", did you research their history books, when exactly did the Spanish arrive? This is "The noble savage" concept, and is about as accurate as calling the native American's a traditional horse culture. (when did a significant amount of horses become available on the great plains?) A traditional Horse culture would be the Tartars or Mongols, or Arabs, or Spaniards (here, we are talking accurately about thousands of years of horse culture). Historically, the vast majority of populations don't live on original land. Every stressed, or ambitious, I'll use "tribe" has taken their neighbor's land, or was displaced to new land and typically displacing those all ready there. Think Mongols, Iroquois, Colonist, Hellenics, Romans, Celts Gaels, Meads, Parthians, Goths, Carthaginians get the point? "Might makes right", and no one has any solid idea what the Western O.P.'s were up to 2 or 3 thousand years ago. The trope, is a deification of the unknow by historians who prefer to mold history. Instead of understanding the absolute brutality of our ancestors. Look up Ashurbanipal. Good vid, just had to rant on the trope. Catharsis over, I'm ready for it lol!

[@marvinfrazier7531]

As a native of the Bay Area I found interest in your video, however I do believe I have a few points to make to go along with it. In the beginning when you were talking about the sailing ships back in the 1500's, that sailed along the coast looking for the entrance to the bay, while in the fog. And they actually had a guiding structure in the form of a 300 foot tall Redwood tree that on a semi clear day could be scene miles out at sea. The tree grew right on the highest point on the hills across the bay in Oakland. This tree along with many others in the area were in the range of 2500 to 3000 years old, and unfortunately they were all cut down by the 1860's. Back in 1937 the bridge was completed and my father along with his best friend decided to play hooky and went down to the ferry in Oakland and went across the Bay to the port of San Francisco then walked about 1 1/2 miles to the bridge, on the opening day. It cost 25 cents to cross the new bridge and the people were told at that time that would remain in place until enough money was collected to pay off the cost of the bridge. That isn't exactly how it worked out. It now costs $6.00 to cross the bridge and before covid came along, there were 250,000 cars per day crossing the Golden Gate. So at $1,250,000 per day day that adds up, especially since that goes on 365 days a year. And that works out well for the private owners of this public structure that the people paid for, and was labeled after its completion as The Seventh Wonder of the World ! As for the accidents that occurred during construction, particularly the one where 10 men fell to there death into the water, though very conceivable, I heard a different story while growing up. I heard that they actually fell into one of the big columns while they were pouring concrete into it with these huge buckets of concrete. So the men fell into the column while the concrete was poured into it and they would have died immediately when the concrete hit them. And there was no stopping the the pouring of the concrete because it took a long time to do that and those guys were fully dead and buried, so they kept on pouring. A similar story happened while the Bay Bridge was being built. In that one 11 men became encased in one of the big columns. And my final up-lifting comment is that though the true figures are unknown there have been probably around 70 reported suicides of people jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. And I don't think there are more than 4 or 5 people who survived the ordeal. A couple of the survivors have made you tube videos, which I highly recommend. Well I am sure that there are many more stories to tell about the Bridge. I thought of these to share with the readers.

I've crossed it, it's impressive..and I've also crossed the Macinac Bridge in Upper Michigan, so considering its length when compared to the Golden Gate, from anchorage to anchorage, the Mackinac Bridge is the third longest suspension bridge in world, and the longest in U.S.... so do a video on the MIghty Mac, across the Straits of Macinac please!

[@lechatbotte.]

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is 200 feet taller than the Mackinac Bridge. It is also 20 feet higher from the water than the Michigan Big Mac. However, the Mackinac is far longer than the Golden Gate bridge, which is only about 1.7 miles long compared to the Mackinac's total length of five miles.

[@TysonIke]

The Mackinac bridge has a span 400ft shorter then the Golden Gate Bridge. Most of the Mackinac is actually just normal unimpressive trusses.

[@Ted_Stryker]

@@TysonIke The span between the towers is shorter, yes, but the span between anchorage points is larger on the Mackinac than on the golden gate. And, so it is indeed a longer suspension bridge and was the longest in the world until 1998.

[@deathmachinezack]

I'm a michigander and I approve this message

[@TysonIke]

@@Ted_Stryker the point of a suspension bridge is to span an extremely large gap where support towers can’t be built feasibly. That is why span from tower to tower is the measurement used to determine how long a suspension bridge is so the Golden Gate Bridge is a longer suspension bridge.

I grew up in SF and was at the 50th anniversary when they first turned on these vertical spotlights that illuminated the formerly dark towers. It was so insane. They simultaneously set off fireworks.

[@skyden24195]

It's kinda ironic that your comment mentions the Golden Gate Bridge and the Hoover Dam: since my dad was in the USAF, he was stationed to Nellis AFB, Nevada at the time of my birth; the air base is not far from Hoover Dam. This enabled me to visit the incredible site early in my life. Then, after a brief stent stationed on an air base in Turkey, my dad was assigned to Travis AFB in California, which is about an hour's drive from San Francisco; so, still relatively early in my life, I got to see and cross the Golden Gate Bridge as well.

Regarding 5:08, the naval warship USS Portsmouth was not personally commanded by Commodore John Drake Sloat.

Portsmouth Square park in San Francisco’s Chinatown is named in honor of the USS Portsmouth and Montgomery Street is named in honor of Captain Montgomery. Meanwhile Commodore Sloat who was in command of the Pacific Squadron was 119 miles south of San Francisco Bay in Monterey Bay. Commodore Sloat with the frigate USS Savannah and the two sloops, USS Cyane and USS Levant captured Monterey from the Mexicans in Alta California on July 7, 1846. Sloat Avenue in Monterey is named in honor of Commodore Sloat. Also Sloat Boulevard in San Francisco is named in honor of Commodore Sloat as well as Commodore Sloat Elementary School.

I would wait for the sun to rise so I could go surfing right under the Golden Gate bridge next to Fort Point. While surfing, I once was in total awe seeing a very large cruise ship pass under the Golden Gate bridge where it appeared from my viewpoint there was not enough clearance. The author of this video mention how turbulent the strait is and it is very turbulent with the tide moving out.

I have to correct you there, Strauss Did Not Officially Designed the Golden Gate Bridge, It was Architecture Design by Charles Ellis: " Charles Alton Ellis (1876 - 1949) was a professor, structural engineer and mathematician who was chiefly responsible for the structural design of the Golden Gate Bridge. Because of a dispute with Joseph Strauss, he was not recognized for his work when the bridge opened in 1937". Strauss took the Glory, and still the Golden Gate Bridge District to this Day 2022 Will not give Charles Ellis is Name on the Historical Dedication Marker. As I have the American Experience DVD on the Golden Gate Bridge in which saying that Ellis was the Original Designer, and they sell it at the Visitor's Center at the Golden Gate Bridge site. Also I was Born at the Presidio back in 1956. Strauss had a Stroke, and Died 8 months after the bridge open. I heard that the Steel from Beth Steel were shipped coast to coast by TRAINS that was on the documentary too... Not the Canal then the bridge would of been finished in 1939 or 1940. Did you also knew that Strauss Bribe the Board of Supervisors in the mid 1920's to have HIS Design in which it was a piece of Shit Design, in which one of his bridges is still standing in San Francisco on 3rd Street right next to Oracle Baseball Park of the SF Giants. Can you Imagined the Monstrously Gigantic design like the 3rd bridge over the Golden Gate?? And also after the bridge was open in 1937 since then to today over 1800 persons committed suicide.

The Golden Gate Bridge is definitely my favorite bridge in the world. I became enamored with the beautiful structure as a kid during the 1980's; this was due, mostly, to two factors: 1. My dad, being USAF, got stationed to Travis AFB in Northern California, located about an hour's drive from San Francisco. Living this close to the Bay Area enabled me several crossings over the iconic bridge. 2. The other prime reason to influence my appreciation for the Golden Gate Bridge was discovering that I shared the birthday of August 1st with the bridge designer, Joseph Strauss.

Sky Den, Strauss Was Not The True Designer of the Bridge, it was Charles Ellis that perfectly in using Mathematics to correct for Wind, and Fog Stress - And Stauss FIRED Him t is on the American Experience Documentary on the Golden Gate Bridge, and I would of Known due to that since I was Born on the Presidio Army Base Grounds in San Francisco in 1956...

@@alexcarrillo5510 I won't disagree with you because I have heard similar details before. To make things clear though, my information came mostly from books I had read during my childhood years (80s-early 90s) so there is the likely chance, like many things, that the information I learned at the time was outdated or 'misinformed.' In fact, one of the first times I had learned otherwise about Strauss was in the film "Pineapple Express," when the name of a civil engineer (I forget the name) is credited. Mostly, from what I had understood after that is that Strauss was more of a leading advocate of getting the bridge commissioned and had some input to the design. My initial comment I (obviously) abridged just to convey the basic points of my personal history/connection to the world-famous bridge. From one military brat to another, thanks for the convo on this Golden Gate connection. 😉👍

[@deluca9805]

Please lower the volume of the intro by half, scares me every time...

[@wandersjesse]

the building of the gg should actually become a movie tho

[@Doggeslife]

it's so impressive to visit that fort with it's huge thick walls and multiple levels and cannon placements, then look up and see the bridge towering over everything as if the fort was a toy playhouse.

[@jameshudkins2210]

It was from the same design as Fort Sumter where the Civil War started.

[@lizhutchinson6978]

LOL thank you for including the future NCR flag.

[@HouseOfNishizumi]

Interesting 1937 just a year before the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver (similar in design) was complete And there's also partial remains of a shipwreck there too which I think was half blown up to make the shipping passage clear. Wooaaa Rollerskates in the 1930s 🥰😍.....you know you a baller when you can afford that 😎😎🤣🤣🤣 Definitely a monument within itself, haven't visited since 2000 but wouldn't mind taking another walk across
