"Boat Dick"

Summer of 1958/59 I as a young lad went on this ship with some friends of my father. Dad had given me 15 shillings to spend over my couple of days in Glenorchy - staying in an old Shelite miners hut. I was so impressed by money in my pocket and the adult friends I was travelling with that I suggested that I shout them all morning tea! Well, when we all filed past the cashier I reached into my pocket and paid out 14 shillings and sixpence! I had a tanner left!!!!! Taught me a very valuable lesson in money management at a young age.

Hey thanks for this. So much research has gone into it. so good just to get it all presented to us like this. Appreciate it!

Of course the Titanic is going to rust out and evaporate. Metal does not last in salt water. Ironically, by sinking on her maiden voyage, Titanic became instantly immortal. She remains the focus of public and media interest well over a century after she went down. Does anybody today even recall the names of her sister ships, let alone their fate?

I sailed on her for my birthday 🚢 🚢

A very reasonable production with a lot of pronunciation problems and a few spelling errors in the annotations. The lack of engineroom detail diminishes the production.

Micro bacteria? As opposed to macro bacteria?? Bacteria are, by definition, microorganisms. So this phrase is a trip to the Department of Redundancy Department. 😂😅

This guy needs more attention!

Informative. Thanks :)

It is obvious this wreck will disappear soon. Therefore they should raise as much of it as they can

Britannic will last longer. Some believe it will last twice as long as Titanic's wreck.

Not surprising that it's in poor condition, it's been down there a long time!

so basically what i’m hearing is that WE damaged the ship a lot just as much as the years are doing to it 😂 sounds about right i wonder how much ‘trash’ we have left down there next to it like we do everywhere else in the ocean…and in space…and on the moon…we fuckin litter everywhere 😂 🤦‍♂️

And wackos tell us that no one should salvage anything as it is a grave or some bs. But if we leave it in place, there wont be anything left in coming decades, just a rust stain on the ocean floor.

So this is how people going to have pieces of titanic in future and in museums.Probabaly we will find out more.🧐Thank you for video!💗

Landing submersibles on the roof? What the actual hell do you want to get stuck down there

No need for the distressing crowd sound in the background when the pig was played.

I Bet most of this so called deterioration is actually because of submersible damage.

How the Titanic broke significant because you can see the front and mid Deck and Deck Quarter placement is of was a Deck higher than the third and fourth funnel housings

There obviously aren't "currents as strong as hurricanes constantly flowing over the wreck". Watch the videos - that is just nonsense.

Now I'm curious about the level of deterioration of HMHS Britannic, Titanic's sister ship that was converted into a hospital ship and sunk after hitting a mine. She's only at a dept of about 400 ft.

Here in Niagara Falls we have a well-known old barge/scow that's been stranded mid-river just above the actual Falls since 1918 - just six years after Titanic sank. Every year the scow continued to deteriorate much like the Titanic by water and ice erosion. Now there's very little left of the iconic barge - and every time I drive by the area it makes me think of the eventual fate of the Titanic wreckage. Soon it'll just be a memory and future generations will only have photos and video of the wreckage to study and analyze.

I wonder how it looked underwater 1 year, 5 years 10 years after it sunk. Sadly it took 70 years and because the technology wasn't there. It has been down there in the cold deep dark ocean for a century.

By the time the ship will be unrecognizable or before, won't the titanic ii be completed.

Just did a trip on the old tart, she's lovely just like the James Obrien, Hikitia, Lyttelton and Enterprise. Sad to see the coal fired boilers go, it will so you greenies can sleep at night

Well now there’s five more people down there

let her go

As a chief engineer of a merchant navy ship, everytime i hear new stories of the titanic i get goosebumps.

@wolfcatsden: ‘lucky to had her this long’? Where was she going? In all honesty, except for items in the debris field that were retrieved, what has anyone learned from the wreck? It was always for those with a curiosity but nothing to help.

I wonder what happened to this channel :(

Thank you for this in depth analysis of the decay rate, haven't seen it shown in such detail before! well made video

comment 1987

There are unopened bottles of Champagne down there that should be liberated before it’s too late!!!

It’s got at least another 100 years

10:37 what is that thing in the top right corner of this shot that says “HAZARD” on it? That can’t be part of the wreck with signage that well preserved, can it?

i mean sure .... but wtf u gonna do about it? we seen enough of the titanic .... its not as if we are gonna see anything more of it, its just a shipwreck

The ship will become a small iron deposit within a few decades, but then that deposit will be there for a long time. There is basically no geological activity in that region. It's going to take at least 200million years before Newfoundland comes close enough to Sierra Leone and Liberia for the deposit to be either pushed under the Eurasian plate or above it. So it's either becoming part of the Earth's core or rise up to be gathered by whatever life exists by then. I really like the idea of the ship's material resurfacing, even if it takes an unfathomable amount of time.

Since pretty much 99% of the earth only see's the titanic through photos captured by deep sea divers, they could just pretend like the titanic is fine. What i would love to see is what it like the morning after it hit the bottom in 1912. Or exactly 24 hours before it hit the bottom. I dont understand the fascination in it sinking. Its almost like if titanic existed IRL right now, today, exactly like it was 100 years ago, except a bit more sophisticated navigation equipment but cosmetically the same, and steam driven too, the titanic enthusiasts would board the ship hoping it sinks. Or if it did sink they would have an absolute amazing time especially if it hits an iceberg.

Given the fact that it's disappearing before our eyes, I think restricting access to it and declaring it some sort of a holy grave site are foolish. I gave that theory some credibility, but now that I see it's going to disappear anyway, I believe it's in the best interest of those people who died and the history of that wreck to find and salvage as much as we can

Hopefully the deterioration will become more rapid, and the whole sorry story; of greed, selfishness and arrogance, die with her.

Boat dick

Who cares. Of course it will deteriorate. Everything goes back to the earth eventually. Leave it alone already. What's done is done.

Its fine i could probably fix it. Just give me some tape and some glue.

To think all of this was caused by Seagate, absolute horrific.

While Titanic is in good condition for he age, do we have any indication wether Britannic is in a decent condition? Or is it similar to Lusitania?

wasting time analyzing wrecks that was obviously will deteriorate.

its water logged too

It’s a sunken ship, I don’t get what’s to special.

Well considering she went down her first night out I’m impressed she’s lasted this long at the bottom. Lotta painted pig iron on that boat.
