Throughout history, ships have disappeared at sea, seemingly vanished without a trace. Today let's look at five ships which never arrived at their destinations; White Star Lines' SS Naronic, Hans Hedtoft, Blue Anchor Lines' Waratah and the Collins Line paddle steamer Pacific.
Oceanliner Designs explores the design, construction, engineering and operation of history’s greatest vessels- from Titanic to Queen Mary and from the Empress of Ireland to the Lusitania. Join maritime researcher and illustrator Michael Brady as he tells the stories behind some of history's most famous ocean liners and machines!

Everytime I think of a Ocean Liner going missing, I always think of the fictional Italian Ocean liner Antonia Graza (based on the Andrea Doria) from the movie Ghost Ship. The thought of a liner crossing the North Atlantic with over a thousand people on board disappearing without a trace then being found floating derelict by a salvage team in the Mediterranean decades later without any sign of what happened is haunting

Plenty of news articles about specific ships feel the need to shoehorn in the _Titanic_ despite little connection or similarities with her. The _Hans Hedtoft_ would have been a perfectly acceptable time to bring up the _Titanic,_ but no. Mike Brady does not give into Titanicization and instead treats the _Hans Hedtoft_ as her own ship and not something to compare with the _Titanic._ I think that alone says a lot about the quality of his writing style and what he values.

SS Waratah is always mentioned, but poor SS Koombana of March 1912 rarely ever rates a mention. One of great remaining mysteries on the West Australian coast. She was lost in a cyclone somewhere between Port Headland and Broome with 150 lives gone, just a month before Titanic went down. A mixed cargo an passenger vessel on the Fremantle to Wyndham run, she was only 4 years old at the time of her loss and state of the art, carrying her passengers in great luxury.

A shame, really. More people would likely be aware of the Koombana's loss, had it sunk in just about any other month of any other year. Talk about bad timing, especially since it's just as much of a tragedy as any other mentioned here.

For those who have served at sea, we have all experienced huge waves, that literally gave us that sinking feeling. One minute you can see the sky, the next; all that can be seen is a wall of water. During storms, ships steer into the wind and attack the waves head on - it’s the waves hitting port or starboard that are really dangerous, causing roll over.

Been obsessed with Naronic's disappearance ever since I was a kid, when I found a website called "What Happened to the Naronic?" I poured over that site so much as a kid, though I believe it's since been taken down. Personally, I think, even if none of the bottles found claiming to be from the ship are genuine, they all still tell *a version* of the truth, that being that the ship went down in poor weather. Unfortunately, without it having the notoriety as some of the big passenger liners like Waratah, I don't think there'll ever be a chance to truly go out and find it.

Another ship disappearance you might find interesting is that of the Marine Sulfur Queen, a WW2 vintage tanker adapted to carry cargoes of molten sulfur. She disappeared in, I believe, the Gulf of Mexico and no trace of her has ever been found except, if I remember correctly, part of a name board or other kind of wood plaque showing signs of fire damage.

SS Waratah is my favorite 'mystical disapperence ship'. She's so shrouded in mystery and still we don't know what happend to her. My personal theory is that her poor stability was the main culprit. I think she was hit by a rouge wave that came out of nowhere and she capsized and sank within minutes. Mike, I am happy you do this videos and keep on doing these. Amazing work you do.

There's just not much of a mystery about the Waratah. She went down in a storm. We may not know the exact spot, or whether there was a rogue wave in addition to the hurricane itself, or whether she'd have sunk even if she weren't top heavy, but none of that changes that we know pretty much what happened. It's an extremely unmysterious mystery. Disappearing without a trace was all too common in the pre-radio days.

Indeed, ship loss continues today. Some vanishings (perhaps many) are modern piracy: Turn off the transponder, change the paint scheme, add a new name, forge some papers. Presto! Ship and cargo continue and a large insurance claim is filed. However, genuine sinkings do occur. I listened to one. In the early 70's, I was in the USN aboard a fleet ballistic missile submarine in the Pacific. A typhoon intersected our patrol route for a few days. The strong weather reached unexpected depths, but we had little concern. On sonar we heard other vessels laboring in the storm. Engines raced when screws broke water, then bogged to a near stall when the propeller plunged deep. A couple of days after we first recognized a particular sonar contact, it broke up and sank. The sounds of rending metal and collapsing tanks is quite distinct. The event was over quickly. The storm raged on. I've always wondered about that ship's identity and the human loss.

It's almost more chilling to hear contemporary accounts by highly skilled and experienced men that identified issues in advance of ship disasters. In a way, we always have experts who can identify issues in a situation where the majority see no (or relatively little) risk and we tend to dismiss them, but it makes one pause and think whenever we see evidence of a potential aversion of tragedy had those people's analyses been considered.

Apropos the Waratah, a Cape Mounted Rifleman, Edward Conquer (who become a Colonel in the S.A.Air Force), had been heliographing on the right bank of the Xora River and noted thro' his telescope a large ship approaching, making heavy going. Her shape and colour matched that of the Waratah exactly, yet he had not known of the ship's existence and he let a comrade also see the vessel through the eyepiece. He saw her roll to starboard and a following wave came over her and he saw no more, also telling Adshead, his comrade. There was no squall to hide any possible reappearance and he telegraphed his base camp to report his sighting. His report was met with some disbelief and he heard no more as, apparently, the message was not passed on or connected with the loss which was afterwards made known.

I had actually heard of the Hans Hedtoft! As someone who loves paper trails and research, I found it a shame then, and find it a shame now. So much knowledge is lost when a person dies, but that person can, at least, take precautions to prevent it ALL being lost by writing things down and spreading them. But when you lose the writings... there's no recovery from that. It's a shame! What an awful experience. Could you imagine being on one of those? Knowing it's over? I don't think I could handle it.

Mike, having looked into the disappearance of SS Waratah, it appears that the gold bullion you mentioned was, in fact, the lead ingots you also mentioned, and that they are one and the same, but the lead was listed as "bullion" in the manifest, and this probably explains the confusion. I did wonder why there had not been rather more frenetic searching, and this probably explains the reason.

I hadn’t heard the story of the Hans Hedtoft before, but it did remind me of another anecdote, one mentioned by the filmmaker Werner Herzog in his documentary about volcanoes of all places. Apparently when Denmark was returning an ancient codex containing the Old Norse “Poetic Edda” to Iceland in 1971, they sent it on a ship with military escort. I imagine the previous incident with the Hans Hedtoft was a big influence on that decision.

Also worth mentioning, is the Danish school ship (training vessel) København, which disappeared without a trace around Christmas 1928, on its way from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Adelaide, Australia. At the time it was the world's largest sailing ship (since, obviously, there weren't a lot of sailing ships left in 1928). Last message from the ship was on the 23rd December 1928: "We wish everyone a merry Christmas. Everything well on board. Calm weather." When the ship didn't arrive in Adelaide by February 1929, the search began, but not a single piece of the ship has ever been found - 60 young sailors disappeared with that ship, many of them teenagers. In 1933, the school ship Danmark was launched to replace the lost ship. The new ship was built a bit smaller, but much stronger with a lot more reinforcement, to hopefully not suffer the same fate as her predecessor. She is however still sailing, and still manned mostly by young people, as it's used to train people to become sailors and ships assistants.

Hi Mike!!!! Another good video love a little mystery. You'd think they would stop calling their ships "unsinkable" at this point, can you imagine what it would be like to drain the ocean and explore all the shipwrecks... or just explore all the things at the bottom of the ocean!

Great video Mike, you always seem to re invigorate my interest I’m maritime history. Do you have much information on the ship called “The Star of Greece” that sank not far off the South Australian coast, I was hoping to find out the story of it’s sinking in a high detail and the history it had before it went down but I’m struggling to find something.

Hey Mike, I realize that this ship never experienced any REAL calamity at sea, but do you think that there's any chance we could get a brief documentary on the SS City of New York 1888 (later SS New York, the ship that was moored next to Oceanic and almost collided with RMS Titanic on it's maiden voyage while leaving port)? I've always loved the look of that ship when it was first built. It ended up looking like an old homely cargo ship in 1912.

Didn’t the Arctic also sink right around the same time? Of course we know what happened to her, but I would imagine that between the two, they sounded the death knell for Collins.

Great video. I bet there could be even more of these mystery disappearances videos because there's been a lot of these. Do you think that maybe a shift in Waratah's cargo combined with a rouge wave could take it down? I feel like that could be a logical idea given it's heavy cargo and the rough weather it experienced before going missing. Stability issues or not, that combination could sink almost anything.
