The Wreckage of the SS DAISY (Dartmouth, NS)

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

Here's to the Daisy and her pretty triple expansion engine. Jack of all trades and master of none, but she was always there. Here's to the Daisy's crew. For they may have been lacking a Marconist, but had the legs to do the 200-mile rescue run. Here's not to Porter and their shenanigans. May the Devil take 'em and never let 'em go. Excellent video, Tom. She's too far gone to be rescued, but there's some consolation in that her resting place isn't all that bad. Cheers.

Every time you post a new video, i get excited, but also think that there's no way you could have improved on your storytelling and film making skills. Every time, I am wrong! This channel is one of the very few that makes me stop what I'm doing when a notification pops up, and watch immediately. Cheers to all who make it happen!

[@dantebaque4664]

Did anyone asked you for your sad useless opinión?

Thats because they steal content from people like us

@apancher I couldn’t agree more.

[@lindaT8512]

At 73 years of age it never ceases to amaze me how much I still can learn. I'm so glad I happened upon your channel. Thank you for your dedication to helping keep a lot of our past history alive!

[@davidnfilms]

Who needs tv, when you have this. Bravo!

[@Dakiraun]

The amount of deterioration since just 2017 is incredible. Great story - good to know the history of the ship before it's completely gone.

At just over 2'000 views, an approximately 22% views to like ratio, tells anyone all they need to know about this channel. Most popular channels only earn about 10% or less. Thanks for the great content.

[@sicks60sicks]

Always makes me so sad to see ships like this. They are still very much beautiful the sadness is from people no longer knowing them. Thank you for remembering Daisy and sharing her story

[@ziprock]

i lived near there for the first 25 years of my life. i remember pulling up on shore dr and drinking coffee on a lunch break and watching the ships come and go. Never knew there was a local wreck right beside me. thanks for sharing.

[@CJ-eh9pg]

Finally!! My friends and I went to Dartmouth high and would walk down at lunch and smoke and hang out there (before the homeless camp) there was little information at the time on the ship on the internet at the time so thank you for making this video, just seeing the footage you have of it brought me back to high school ❤️

[@timmytwodogs]

So sad when you see what remains of such a gallant old girl. I spent a decade on the West coast and did some work for the Vancouver Maritime Museum in Kitts. I became fascinated with maritime history. This is really first rate story telling, thanks !

[@nateliez320]

Saw you today, you were at the graveyard and asked my grandpa for something at his barn, super cool

[@jpd4627]

Dude you really find some obscure boats. Excellent work. Thank you

[@EasyThereBigFella]

Clearly, your productions are exhaustively researched, mindfully edited and well narrated. Thank you!

[@dytile1603]

You just had to go and make our Friday didn’t you.. well we all appreciate it

[@michaeldyke1699]

I remember playing in this ship and also exploring it in the late 1980s. My friend and I also played ice hockey on these grounds on very thin ice after we cleared the snow away. My friend’s house was a stone throw away under the bridge. Best memories for sure.

[@snagethegreat5497]

Your channel stands out from other channels in the category. Keep doing what you're doing 👍

[@jewellhearon4809]

This is only the second video you’ve posted since I’ve subscribed and already you are my favorite channel to see in my sub box

[@Menuki]

You’ve inspired me to get out and explore the area around me in Vegas …..the recent heatwave has convinced to postpone those plan a bit

[@lauravturner]

I did not expect to enjoy hearing the backstory of an old tugboat, but here I still am over 20mins later. You bring these buried stories back to life. Incredible devotion to your passion and such a lovely enthralling charming voice for narrating. Subscribed.

[@andreweden9405]

Thank you, Daisy, for all your years and service! May your legacy live on forever. And thank you, Part-time Explorer, for bringing our attention to her!

[@jamesdreads7828]

I love these docs. So well put together. Relaxing, informative, and high quality

[@benjamintowns9798]

I've walked that shore. Always assumed it was sunk as back file. Never imagined it had a storied past. Thanks for sharing.

[@debrap947]

My Granny was born in Burin in 1904. I have ancestors from way back in Burin and around Newfoundland. Thanks for even more history from my long, long ago family.

[@oldhifi8820]

Another great video - the story, the photography, the ambience are all top notch. No matter whether it is a ship, a ghost town, a disaster or something else you have the magic of making it come alive. Keep up the good work.

[@seonaelizabethcoster8465]

For some reason, KZbin had unsubsidised me from your channel, so I've missed a bunch of videos without meaning to. I'm rectifying this oversight tonight. So glad to sit and relax to your brilliant story-telling for the next while...

[@valbutton1816]

Tom, thank you so much for your interesting videos about obscure tidbits of history. My family is always very attentive while watching. ❤

[@firstclassdronephotography]

Another awesome video! Love seeing your coverage of NS!

[@dbyrd]

Incredible video! I am a naval architect from Burin, and I had no idea about this vessel. I’ve been following your channel for quite a while now and was pleasantly surprised to hear the Newfoundland connection with this vessel. Thank you so much for putting in the work and investigating the actual site, very cool. You have the terminology nailed man! Also props for pronouncing Newfoundland correctly! lol

[@roadweary5252]

Just catching up on some videos. Always look forward to your posts, Tom!

[@jaynorris3722]

Thank you Tom. You have made my whole week with this video. All your videos are excellent. Thank you.

[@Stgpop]

I love learning more history about my own country, thank you for the video!

[@careycraig4360]

EXCELLENT! Video in all respects. Halifax is an Old Historic Place and there are still a few REMAINS to be found and seen of those times long long ago if one goes Exploring!

[@l.l.2463]

Fascinating! I wonder how many people have seen her remains and had no idea of the stories she could tell.

[@RobertCraft-re5sf]

Your channel is the best and so underrated. People should join your patreon

[@CrashAndBurnProductions]

one tends to forget how much history is all around when you live in Halifax...i think i remember that site being a scrapyard of sorts back in the 80's,you used to be able to look down into it when going over the bridge...pretty sure the Bras D'or was sitting there for a while[now a museum ship in Quebec],there were never many hydroplanes around,so i'm pretty sure it was her,long after the navy was done with her but before she was moved on ...but..the memories are foggy of just looking out the window of the bus on random days 40 years ago as a teenager

[@corinnewolfe-betz7478]

Fascinating to hear so much of the history of this ship. We stumbled across it years ago when we were exploring the area. Quite a surprising find in the heart of the city.

[@jakemj03]

I sail past that all the time - great video

[@ramonapetermann9585]

Another exciting and interesting video, Tom. I love your videos, they are so well researched and narrowed, no annoying computer voice, but calm and informative lines. I am grateful for this video, because when I heard you speaking of Nova Scotia, I remember your vid about the beautiful German yacht "Schwalbe". I am a huge fan of this video about the little yacht, and it broke my heart to learn, that it was removed from her resting place by the authorities. Thank you so much for your video about the Schwalbe, so I can visit her whenver I want to see her. Sometimes I feel rather impatient when waiting for a new one of your videos. Keep up your excellent work, Tom, thank you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Hectobozzel]

Super cool. I used to visit the Daisy when I lived in the area before I moved 5 years ago.

[@DustyGamma]

I'm a Haligonian, but didn't know a thing about this, even that it was there! Hope they've started teaching these things in school, cause I sure wasn't taught it.

[@karentrimmer]

Thank you for all the work you do to bring us some of the history that is all around us but we don't recognize is there.

[@whiskeymonk4085]

Someday (I pray and wish), someone will remind the future people of the greatest longliner ever built in her time. The *Alakan Leader.* I'm so proud to have braved the Bering sea aboard her. What a mighty vessel! Her Captains and crews exemplified the pinnacle of excellence. There is a documentary about her sister ship, the *Bering Leader,* but there was a first, The Leader. I am honored to have been on her original voyages into that frozen Hell. Built in Mobile Alabama. Sailed through the Panama canal. Based in Kodiak, Alaska. Captain Richard Thummel at the helm. It's the ship of legends.

[@143DREWID]

I worked the Bering. Every job thereafter is easier, and outperforming landlubbers is as easy as a nap. Commercial diving Atlantic winters came close.

[@lexpo181]

Very well done video. So interesting with plenty of information. ;)

There must be so many similar stories waiting to be told around our coasts - you could never really guess them looking at the state of the poor Daisy now. Have to comment on your wonderful built-in furniture - wonder what it's crafted from - certainly a handsome thing which must have a story to tell. Certainly a unique work of art. Cheers.

Been there !! It was a very photogenic location; quite lovely.

[@pugsymalone6539]

There is a WW I U-boat which came to America as a war prize. It was eventually sunk off the coast of Winnetka, Illinois, just north of Chicago. That might make a good video.

[@sirboomsalot4902]

SM UC-97 iirc. It was the former SS Eastland that was tasked with sinking her

[@pugsymalone6539]

@@sirboomsalot4902 I think you're right. Didn't know Eastland was involved. Wow. We need to get that U-boat up...her ballast is...mercury. Back then, I guess we didn't know the danger.
