It was 30 years ago, in the year 1994, that an old and storied ocean liner met its end in the Canary Islands. Though it served faithfully in war and peacetime, it was abandoned to be destroyed by time and nature. The former SS America had its final chapter on the island of Fuerteventura. This video is a pictorial tribute to a ship from 1940, that touched the lives of many individuals, who have ...

ss america, le navire fantôme...
Просмотров 7748 месяцев назад
The American Star was a transatlantic ocean liner built in 1939 for the United States Lines, intended for use on the North Atlantic route. In 1994, caught in a storm off the Canary Islands, his tugboat's ties failed and he ran aground in a bay off the west coast of Fuerteventura. For a long time, the part of the bow still visible was a tourist attraction, but if you intend to come and see this ...

Where is ss america star ship now ?
@@ALEXJAMES2597 Flattened by the Atlantic Ocean.
Have you heard the news about the United States becoming a artificial reef?
She has a twin sister the SS United States that’s been docked in Philadelphia almost 30 years now. Soon she will be an artificial reef in Florida around Deston 🪸
She lived on long after her interdiction as the SS American 🇺🇸
Sailed to Australia from Southampton early 1973 as a 6 year old boy. She was beautiful.
Wie die Gier in den Menschen Idee sprießen läßt!
Her sister SS United States will soon be joining her in the eternal ocean graveyard 😞
Why did they change the horn
It's so dark, something like this would make a great setting for a horror game.
Matthew,…thank you from a former SS AMERICA emigrant,…1952 Southampton to NY
Well, actually sad after seeing how she looks today ....
Very sad to see this once great liner slowly crumbling away, although she looks very stately. How lovely to see the light shining through her portholes , as if she's about to set sail again....♥️
Just shows how powerful the sea really is
O ss America era um navio muito lindo e luxuoso mais depois de tanto tenpo em funcionamento ele ficou feio por Qualsa da sua estrutura quase enferrujada pelo tenpo
WHAT JUST HAPPEN WITH SS AMERICAN STAR IN THIS SCENE? 6:57
Good. Didn't like that old tub.
Wow- thank you for this!!
Video uploaded three years ago yet bad quality for some reason?? probably old footage uploaded?
This is amazing, thank you for the upload!
🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍 Excellent video
Ultimate comfort, so homey looking!
Amazing
It looks that it is only me who stole nothing from the ship.
Gli interni erano una meraviglia
The rough seas off the coast of Fuerteventura destroyed it🫤
Thank you. So nice to see her complete and inside and observe and compare to the qm2.
Pretty cool footage. Sad she's almost completely gone now. Just some left beneath the surface. It's amazing what the ocean did to her i very little time.
Rust In Pieces such a beautiful ship in its glory days. Once a magnificent ship is now rusting in pieces.
What caused this ship to get wrecked?
@@FlagSwept It washed ashore whilst being towed and the tow lines snapped.
Oh okay gotcha, thank you for answering my comment :)
Thank you for uploading this on RUclips. The footage looks fascinating.
In this video,the ship is in greece?And more specifically in Elefsina port??? Elefsina is a town near to Athens
8:00 "So let's start with the repairs so that this steamer can run again" :D
How does it remain standing up and not tip sideways?
@@SouthernGospelSinger777 Mostly because of its sturdy construction and the way it was positioned on the sandbank.
@@matthewcox6615 Cool. Thanks
Did you grandfather work with William Frances Gibbs
@@user-zu8nz5zu5u I’m afraid not but I wish.
Unfortunately, she's gone. She was wrecked at Fuerteventura in 1994 while under tow. She ran aground where she remains today. She started to break up shortly thereafter and by 2008, she was gone. She completely succumbed to the sea and is only visible at low tide. Such a sad demise for such an elegant lady. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_America_(1939); ruclips.net/video/GLQ1Y42yJpM/видео.html This is why we MUST save her sister, the S.S. United States: www.ssusc.org/; She too faces an uncertain future!
what a great eye sore. get rid of it. it's trash
The power of nature is unbeatable.
I think it's all gone by now, isn't it?
@@1940limited Pretty much I’m afraid.
Who put the ladder on the side? It seems awfully substatial for tresspassers
@@m26a1pershing7 They were installed for the towing crew in case of an emergency.
Probably the last time it was ever lit up like that
Fantastische Doku
How long is the time frame
Wow
Das Video wurde mir zufällig vorgeschlagen. Bin sehr angetan, denn ich habe die America in 2000 noch sehen dürfen… 👍🏼
Ma il mare è sempre così incazzato da quelle parti?😂😂
Oceano Atlantico.....
the sea got the better of the wreck...
I've seen alot of videos on this poor ships demise. I believe this is my favorite! I think the fact that there's no dialog or music makes it more respectful. Great job!👍
the interiors are beautiful yet haunting at the same time...
Why can't it move on its own anymore?
@@randyclarke6284 It had been sitting around for a long time and the engines no longer worked; plus, the ship was beached in late 80s due to a burst bilge pipe that flooded the lower decks.
Beyond sad, breaks my heart! 😪 I worked on her in the late 1960’s when she was the Australis. A magnificent ship, I loved her❤
