This is one of my favorite marine casualties to discuss. Sure, they went into the compound ice when they should not have. But once the crew saw the ship was flooding they immediately sounded passengers and organized the escape, and saved no expense to try and assess and mitigate the damage. Imagine if the crew of the Costa Concordia had behaved this way, rather than cover their mistake and hope it goes away.

I was on a ship in Antartica a few weeks after the Explorer sank. We had three ice pilots on board. Our chief ice pilot was the chief ice pilot on the Explorer. He said the ship had come up on a “growler” . Instead of hitting it bow on the ship scraped its side. When we were there, if the weather got too bad and visibility dropped, our ship stopped dead until conditions improved. We reached the pack ice and turned away. The scenery is magnificent but the weather would suddenly turn horrible. There were ice miles long.

[@nixvstheworld]

Just tell me the ship you were on had better lifeboats?! I’m so angry and shocked that this happened in 2007 and they were even allowed to have those open top ones. How could that even be legal in those conditions?! I ranted to my bf about it and told him pro life tip, never get on a ship that’s going into waters that can be lethal with crappy outdated open top lifeboats/safety systems/equipment that’s clearly outdated, not rated or appropriate for the environment, and or clearly not inspected and replaced in appropriate amount of time like this too. How he said the weather blankets and whatnot were even tearing and having rusted zippers!!

[@lwoods1940]

​@@nixvstheworld My thoughts exactly. It is absurd that the Explorer was operating with such woefully antiquated and apparently unmaintained life boats. The owners are lucky they weren't sued for negligence.

[@warrenfeldman1572]

We were on Azamara with real covered lifeboats and three certified ice pilots. There was always ice but they avoided any pack ice. The weather is very harsh. It goes from subzero to 40 degrees in minutes. You can have bright sun in five minutes later being fog or heavy snowstorm. Our ship would stop dead when visibility drop down and would not proceed. They were very cautious where they went and definitely avoided ice packs. Despite every effort to avoid the package, you were still times you could hear the ice scraping on the side of the ship. The journey was an adventure of a lifetime. If you’ve never seen the Antarctic firsthand, you can’t imagine his beauty and harsh environment. On the other hand, retrospectively it’s scary. You realize if there’s an incident help is unlikely

[@GraveMemories]

​@warrenfeldman1572 that sounds fun but I have to admit I don't have the balls to go on a trip like that 😅 I'm glad you got to experience that trip though! And especially that you arrived back safe and sound.

[@mikekilman2]

Wife and I were on ms Expedition, the ship that followed the Explorer. Most of our crew had been on the ms Explorer, so there was comfort in that, but we never were exposed to the same hazards. I will say that one night, heading north through Drake, we did have a FORTY degree roll. THAT woke us up. But it was a good cruise and this video provided excellent information.

Seriously, not just staying aboard during the evacuation but also afterwards to continue efforts. He may not have been trained for the ice but he made up for it in responding properly (maybe less so on the maintenance of life-saving equipment... but then again, it's not the Captain buying the lifeboats).

@@MichaelSchnabel-i4n The language quoted from the report - "had he been trained for Antarctic ice" - suggests that while he was found at fault because of his decision to push through the ice, the writers of the report encouraged better training for captains in antarctic ice. I feel like there's a difference between "pilot error" and using him as a scapegoat, and it seems the writers leaned more toward the former - that this could have been avoided with further training, but he regardless made a mistake in the moment that a more experienced captain in these conditions would not have done.

This was actually the third time the ship ran aground in Antarctica. The first time was in 1972 when the ship was called Lindblad Explorer. The passengers and part of the crew, including an acquaintance, were rescued by the Chilean navy. The ship was towed to Buenos Aires and then to Kristiansand in Norway. There I was allowed to come on board in connection with the Norwegian crew being able to collect their belongings or what was left. The water had been above the floor in the lower cabins where the crew lived. There was oil everywhere and of course not much personal belongings left for the crew to retrieve. The second time the ship ran aground in Antarctica was in 1979.

[@johnjoseph3667]

Mike, another outstanding vid but this was personal to me. One of my 3 cruises to Antarctica was on EXPLORER. I've been fortunate enough to have visited 130+ nations as a tour leader. Antarctica is tied with Botswana as my #1 fave. Despite this sinking and 6 heart-stopping crossings of the Drake Passage I'd happily go back to Antarctica tomorrow. It's just that extraordinary of a destination. Thanks again for another superb, intelligent vid, Mike. PS You know it's bad when the crew is 🤮 and they're sleeping in the Lounge and passengers were ordered to stay in bed with the bed belts on.

True, but I have to wonder how anyone thought they could be sure that all the ice in the their path was definitely the first year ice that the ship could handle.

However, this seems to be the assumption that all ships that travel arctic waters operate under, which points back to the company and it's training.

You might have seen a picture of a large tanker being scrapped on the beach. Once the outer hull from deck level down near the waterline has been burnt away you can see a mesh of squares supporting insulation fibres. Below that is another metal wall. Unfortunately I have no idea what distance the structure which comprises the squares holds the hull away from the inner wall. And there might be another wall behind that. (The WW2 Battleship New Jersey has a triple bottom and more layers in the anti-torpedo bulges.)

[@kennethrodmell9006]

Watched this with interest as I'd seen MV Explorer docked at Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina in 2002. I went to Ushuaia again in 2005 to visit the Antarctic Peninsula on another ship, MV Polar Star, which was a true icebreaker and, dare I say it, better equipped for Antarctic expeditions. Within minutes of sailing there was mandatory lifejacket and lifeboat drill for all on board, in which we were required to muster at and board our pre-assigned lifeboats. These, sensibly, were fully enclosed by a hard top. As a footnote, I'd previously been on the Nordnorge for a 4 hour stretch of the Norwegian coast in 2000 and saw the Nordnorge again in Antarctica in 2005. Thanks for posting this gem. You certainly know your subject.

I think I saw another analysis of this sinking (Sea Disasters). 1) Explorer was NOT designed for iceberg courses, especially Antarctic, only arctic (North Pole) mainly for North Atlantic/Baltic travel. 2) The Capt was not rated for polar, just artic (North), as well. Finally, I believe this was the first or second cruise after relocating from North Atlantic to the Antarctic. And, FYI, Artic and Antarctic oceans (and bergs) are evidently radically different environments (and not what The Explorer was designed for).

From the photos of the actual lifeboats and RIBs it would appear no one had immersion suits on, surly with open-top boats this would have been required at minimum. I sailed for many years on a ship built in the early 60s (registered in New York) with this style of lifeboat and because of the waiver system still had them when she was scrapped in 2003.

Incredible story. Well done the Capt for getting the passengers off early. Ive read about these variable pitch propellers in other shipping disasters, specifically a fishing vessel off Alaska. It flooded via the rudder shafts, the flooding shorted out the electrics which over rode the hydraulic system. Ie nil control on the bridge. It basically meant it went astern which sped up the flooding process dragging it down. This vessel had done this even in port! When I watch these, there always seems to be a common thread re safety equipment lacking maintenance too Finally, i have a fascination because a family member was on board HMS Terror and Eribus during the Ross exploration and we have cliffs named after us in Ross sound 😊.

XD I agree,First sail ships,then Pacific,Titanic after and now Explorer...What's next?Some 300.000 ton cruise ship?

[@OnionChoppingNinja]

yep. we're all kinds of stubborn.

[@mvp019]

Only until we blow the planet up with nukes...

[@thesilversurfer7136]

Human ambition will be the death of the entire species. Makes me worry what’s going on with the nuclear weapons.

[@mvp019]

Until our dumb species ends the world.

Thanks!

[@chrisC052]

Great video sir.

[@amethyst49ergurl]

I’m gagged !!!! This is so beautiful!! Excellent work Mr. Brady!! & crew

[@ALCO-C855-fan]

I remember a german documentary series 'In Seenot'. Everyone survived. Thank god.

[@KenGibson-i1q]

Excellent documentary the animation by Jack is off the scale

"Let's re-trace the voyage of Sir Ernest Shackleton!" Complete with the loss of a ship to ice and a time in an open-top lifeboat.

[@jamesheartney9546]

Also, like Shackleton, no souls lost over the course of the disaster.

[@davidseslar5798]

My exact thoughts, too.

[@SarothCyngus]

After seeing the video on the Carpathia's rush to aid, I kind of would love to hear about the Nat Geo's and Norwegian's ships rushes to rescue the Explorer's passengers! Also, no exaggeration, this is perhaps the most professional and well-made channel on KZbin.

You know those big thick metal plates they put on the road when they dig a hole and they're not done and you have to drive over them? Yeah, well the hulls on these ships are MAYBE half that thick. It always shocks me when you learn just how thick (or thin) the hulls on ships really are.

[@robertjones8667]

I feel like fragile wilderness like the poles just shouldn't be allowed to be explored like this. Like the Galapogas too, just leave them alone. Great work as always though Mike.

LOVE YOUR VIDS

[@brick6347]

It's a huge relieve that all crew and passengers survived. I can't help thinking that sailing an enormous modern cruise ship into such treacherous waters is a recipe for disaster though. There are 300m ships with thousands of passengers and crew operating in Antarctica now...

[@57Jimmy]

The graphics are absolutely stunning! Love your story telling!

[@gayprepperz6862]

History may not repeat itself, but it sure seems to rhyme a lot!

[@robinwiddrington5765]

I did 8 voyages down to the southern ocean and also ventured below the Antarctic circle on RV Roger Revelle and RV Mellville. Some science expeditions lasted 51 days. Beautiful place in summer except the fog it brings. Wintertime can be hell. Icebergs icebergs everywhere. Very stressful bridge watches. This is a very professional channel. Bing watching today safe, calm, and not wet in my retirement. Thanks very much.

[@MrMakeDo]

I do enjoy these videos. They have an ethereal and almost numbing quality that takes me away from the stresses of the daily grind.
