Transit Strait of Magellan / Estrecho de Magallanes

[@r3dtig3r]

2:17 so narrow. Thanks for this upload. Amazing views.

[@unknownunknown2129]

Great video that depicts the islands and navigational challenges.

[@jimbottoms1838]

Thank you for this video! I am currently reading Laurence Bergreen's 'Over the Edige of the World," the story of Magellan's Voyage of Discovery to the Spice Islands and wanted to see exactly what the Strait looks like. This video was very helpful and shows the challenges Magellan faced in assessing each strait and bay he encountered as he searched for the route to the Pacific Ocean. What a great accomplishment and this video shows how difficult it was, perhaps the greatest maritime achievement of all time.

I'm listening to a podcast of Dan Carlin's "Hardcore History" talking about the same thing. Very interesting voyage.

I'm not sure there was an original sound. Or would you like an engine drone pitched up super high while you watch this?

[@buzwingding]

That looks amazing. Thank you for sharting the video.

[@mitchellminer9597]

Try doing that in an old sailing ship in bad weather, not knowing if it goes through. The advantage might be that the tidal currents could be noticed, if there are any. Notice that some of the clouds seem to blow up in lines from over a mountain or something, and then fade out when they drop over the strait.

[@Esquelan]

Another point is that the strait is so curve and Magellan must have gone wrong 500 years ago

[@MoonArk]

i love this. plus the music. brings me back to my early adult life. the greatest part of my life so far.

[@aviaki]

Beautiful and good music.

[@stefanschneider3681]

Whow, you better know what direction you‘re heading! Beautiful footage. I vivedly remember reading as a kid about Magellan‘s first struggle through there, taking almost every wrong turn possible until they finally reached the Pacific Ocean - and troubles even just started there! As we all know he never made it back to Europe, but one ship of his fleet did.

[@niky7197]

Super valuable

[@bens4801]

Crazy to think this is what Magellan saw 500 years ago

[@whiskeytango9769]

In the age of sail he would have needed a windy, and perhaps stormy day.

[@ricardoprovan5159]

Magellan never sailed these channels. Sorry, but this is not the Magellan Strait. These are the Chilean Patagonian Channels, a maze of channels between countless islands north and east of Cape Pilar. Beautiful video, anyway!

[@markmark2080]

Wow, thank you so much for this video, the dangers involved in transiting these straits in the days of sail cannot be overstated, except it was safer than rounding the horn...I can't imagine how difficult it was for the sailors when the winds were contrary...

[@bendix998]

Great video - thanks a lot ❗️Ever since I wrote about Magellan in primary school, I have always been fascinated by this strait. Ever since then, I have sailed the Danish waters and still dream to cross the Atlantic, when I retire. But I don’t think that I will ever get the opportunity -nor the money - to go and sail the Magallan Strait. At least, it was great to se your video.

[@geraldtodd6633]

In November 1966 I was in the US Navy and my ship was on a Unitas cruise spending 4 months going around South America. We went southward thru the Magellan Strait. It was much more impressive live than on video.

[@christopherx7428]

Lovely footage! That was a long and narrow passage where it would be very easy to take the wrong turn - if you were Magellan at least. If the sea he met was anything like that first day, then it makes sense to call it the "Pacific Sea"!

[@CarlosMorales-kw7ob]

Amazing!!! Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@tkbvausa]

Wow beautiful view entire passage of Magellan strait and feeling there all the way trip happy to see video thank you 🙏🏼 ❤❤😊

Reading through The Wager, can't imagine doing this in a canoe, 300 years ago with no map

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Why ASSume they didn't have maps? Maps have been around for a long time. More than 300 years, more than 3000.

[@jeffshriber6120]

Wow,what a unique experience, I served in the US Navy for 25 years been arourns the world 7 times seen over 50 different countries and never went through the straits of Magellan. Very few people ever travel there . Too bad you didn't get to disembark and explore the surrounding side.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Have to remember this video was made in winter! The nighttime sky must be amazing with bright Alpha Centauri high overhead.

[@melvani1917]

Amazing video.. Thank you

[@dominiclester3232]

Nice, thanks! I thought there’d be much more snow in mid-winter...

[@pimentajoao]

Do the ship navigate during the night also (by instruments only, I mean)

[@ricardoprovan5159]

Yes. Radar distance and bearings. Plus, the the chileans have perfect beacons system. No big deal.

[@DannyRollings]

I ended up here due to the result of a Bing quiz of all things and I'm so glad I did 😲

[@donaldkasper8346]

So may rock reefs, so narrow.

[@frankholden237]

Excellent vid, however from the start to 3:30 it shows the canals from the English Narrows, just north of Puerto Eden, to Faro Fairway at the western end of Estrecho de Magallanes. Only the last minute shows the strait itself - west of Cabo Froward. Nothing wrong with that as east of Cabo Froward to the Atlantic is as boring as bat poo.

[@ricardoprovan5159]

Very correct observation!

[@outremer91]

Magellan the legend himself.

[@NormanWattr]

I guessed that from the direction of the sunrise on day 2 and shadows, that you were travelling East?

[@ru_first8012]

Yes. East bound from Chile heading toward Argentina.

[@charlesward8196]

Much smoother trip than Joshua Slocum had in his solo sail around the world. I thought it was east to west, until the end when the sun went down with a rising full moon.

[@MustadMarine]

No channel markers, lots of twists and turns for cargo vessels to make. Only a matter of time before a major oil spill...

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

It is necessary to explain where you started, where you were going, etc. In this video even the direction is hard to understand. Atlantic to Pacific or vice versa?

[@keithmclean4283]

Which direction were you going?

[@robhappe2705]

I guess Magellan knew it wasn’t a river because there’s no fresh water flowing into the Atlantic. It’s sea water all the way. He knew the Pacific was on the other side but he thought it was much smaller than it really was.

[@trainsacomin2088]

Thinking that the ship is piloted the whole distance?

[@ru_first8012]

Yes. 2 Pilots was onboard. It took 3 days to navigate the straits.

[@trainsacomin2088]

@@ru_first8012 Just checkin'...crazy not to pilot a super expensive vessel like that full of chemicals through those waters. Still looks just like Magellan must have seen it.

[@richardmitchell3037]

The first part of the video looks more like the English Narrows.

[@ricardoprovan5159]

Very likely. To me, this is northbound because in part of the footage the clouds are coming from the left side, meaning from the West. There is no east wind, ever in that region.

[@paulheckbert]

correct the title of your video, which is not the Strait of Magellan, according to many commenters

[@FourthWayRanch]

is uses more fuel to go west than east cause the pacific is higher

Strange….the Estreito de Magalhaes was discovered by Portuguese navigator Fernão De Magalhaes but is all but none of the names cited is his name….like calling J.F. Kennedy….Kenidi……

[@Matthew-ut6ed]

At the time Latin was still regarded as the universal language for Europe and many people, when publishing work, used a Latin version of their name. So, for example, Colombo became Columbus, Kopernik became Copernicus, and Magalhaes became Magellan.

this is hard to believe , but this is probably the only place on earth that has probably never ever seen a human being or ancient . so much desolation .

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

Uh, no. Nearby there's the city of Punta Arenas, and the zone was previously inhabited by several native peoples to whom the Spanish gave the generic name of Patagones. They arrived at the southern tip of Chile around 12 thousand years ago, according to archaeological evidence.

[@phil-zz5hk]

@@MariaMartinez-researcher 12000 years might be slightly exaggerated . the oldest human evidence in the americas is 12000 and that is clovis new mexico .

[@phil-zz5hk]

@@MariaMartinez-researcher anyway punta arenas is Magallanes and Antarctica Chilena . not patagonia .

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

@@phil-zz5hk The Clovis theory has been contested by the findings at Monte Verde, in Chile, which were carbon dated as having more than 14.000 years old. Monte Verde is 41° 30'17'' S, near Puerto Montt. Not as southern as Punta Arenas, but still predates Clovis for about 1000 years, maybe more. Charles Darwin, on board of the Beagle, crossed the channel that now bears the ship's name and it is even more to the south than Magellan strait. They met natives, and had a long and very complicated story with them. The Spanish had met them before. Well, the fate of these peoples was possibly one of the worst faced by South American first nations. Take a look at the Wikipedia article "Selk'nam people" and follow from there. ✌
