My ex father in law was a Bobby on there in the late 80's >90's. He told me they had like a nature reserve of some sort and told me about the miles of narrow gauge railway on there. This is a cracking video👍🏻

Planning for illegals to be housed there ?

Some lovely cars there I loved the video cool man.

Wow what great shots with the drone.

Great drone shots, shame about the fire.

Great video. thoroughly enjoyed it. Amazing how clear the water is (definitely a lot cleaner than it was back in the early 80's when I used to swim at Harrington).

this says so much about the world and governments.....

Hi, love this footage, just wondering if I could get permission to use it for the Harbour/Marinas website? Thanks!

nice right place right time

Well done, for capturing it 👍

Excellent, great footage

What a mess. Nicely captured 👌

Wow great drone shots of the ship cool man, loved the video.

Puerto muy complicado la verdad

That is NOT a channel I'd want to enter at 11:20 PM!!!! I get that they were constrained by tides & their schedule but man would I not want to try that at night, especially if it was my first time going into there! Brits have some crazy tidal harbors over there for sure!

Back in the 1970’s I worked for the British Steel Corporation in their Shipping Division based on London. I chartered many vessels that shipped steel rails and ingots from Workington. These were from the nearby steel works. We shipped these products around Europe and the Mediterranean. Sadly y all gone!

They should be in there to give it a coat of paint before the tide comes back in

Could be a nice harbour😂

Erm 🫤 dredge the channel biggerer?? :)

Great video!! Good flight... I do some travel and drone videos. .. I SUBSCRIBED!!

I really thought that a ship flying under a flag would be a great aircraft. Ships normally fly the flag of registration country.

Can’t see its balls. Needs a proper mast I suppose.

Heres hoping a solution is found. Ships running aground cant be structurally good. Shippong agents declining or cost loading deliveries to Silloth harms the factory, too many incidents and can insurance cover become a problem? Its not like Cumbria has many factories left, and anything sustaining sime international trade ought ot be worth hanging onto. Good luck Silloth, you might need it.

deep-water port ca 1860s 🤦‍♂ time to go big, or make it into museum its 2024

Dredging would sort it . Right round the UK nobody dredges now . Would prevent flooding in some areas

I used to work at Carrs feed mill 77-82 and I remember the molasses tankers coming in like submarines and leaving like tower blocks. Also the harbour offloaded a big drum which I think was for the paper mills down the coast..

About 20 years ago, it was yearly dredged we worked around England in all small harbours nowadays, it is too expensive, but grounding A vessel seems to be more cheap, don’t understand it

Tragic...anywhere but *ucking Silloth.

Wow cool video.👍👍

The channel, if that's what you want to call it, is not clearly marked, if at all.

Visited Silloth a few times whilst on holiday in Lakes and Cumbria. Lovely little port town shown at its best here. Fab! Well done.

Ce port n'est pas du tout adapté pour recevoir des navires marchands et c'est même dangereux et scandaleux de voir ça , une honte !!

Local knowledge ??

Once high tide come in the ship wil be floating again

Looks different since I worked there. Was a Customs Officer at Workington Dock from 1967/72. Main trade was iron ore for the steel works. Very busy around Spring Tides.

It looks stinky and slimy

Not surprised he got stuck ,the amount of shit that’s laying around the harbour entrance, obviously site maintenance is non existent!!!

They can scrub the bottom whilst they wait for the tide to come in

I wonder who coughs up for losses incurred due to maybe late cargo discharging, damage to the ship's hull, surveys etc? It strikes me that this incident was due to the published chart depths not being maintained by timely dredging. Of course it may be that the approach to the habour was attempted when not enough water was available but I somehow doubt that one.

This has brought back memories from 1965, grey ships being cut up in the outer harbour at low tide and my brother pushing me of a sand cliff leading to a broken wrist. Glad to see the grain ships still docking, is it still for Carrs?

That is not classified as a grounding as they have a rope ashore

Beached as, aye bro

Jesus, dredge the channel already! Are they trying to make it as hard as possible to get to the lock or what?

Not a difficult concept to understand that docks need to be dredged and kept clear, unless of course you are a British manager 🙄

Nice model, looks real.

The only solution I see is to make a gate narrower and port shallower to raise level of danger or to ban ship smaller than 100m in lenght or 5000 tonnes to dock.

How can one call it a 'harbour' when it has no water?

As a Professional Mariner I will say we all loathe these “tide jobs” where you have a finite window to get in with minimum under clear clearance and ticking clock to get it done or call it off. These places have no room for error, and minimum margin of safety. That ship now must be surveyed at great expense, and by the way the aft section is hanging unsupported that ship has suffered hogging stress. Being a foreign ship they were relying on the guidance of the pilot to safely get them in. If they had never been there before I’m sure the Master was thinking you want to take me where?! If he had been there before I’m sure his first thought was I hope I never go back there again.

They must be terrified to dredge. For fear of a visit from the Dept of Destructionism.

Hilarious 😂🎉🎉🎉😢😢😮😮😅😅😅😅😮😢🎉😂😂😂😂😢
