Ok

Good luck!

Shipwrecks give me the creeps. Even if no one died or anything. It just has a creepy aura. Imma stay tf away from that
Hannah m SAME.
Just watching this video is giving me anxiety
I agree with both of you, there is no way im going to be or even see a shipwreck, this is why i will never go onto ship.
Ikr. Same as corpses
Yeah just like abandoned theme parks as well. I think the reason why we find them creepy is because by looking, we can see that it used to be a very high energy place that is now dead.
I get creeped out by the way nature takes it over. It literally makes me shiver lol
I worked on this ship as a stew off and on for about two years back in the early 90’s. I was always proud of how she looked when in port compared to other boats. The World Discoverer was considered an expedition ship meaning we never repeated the same itinerary and were always somewhere new each season. We sailed for 4 months in Alaska, then made a 13-day crossing to Costa Rica, through the Panana Canal, up the Amazon for around 6 weeks, Brazil all the way to Antarctica. It was a defining moment of my life. It’s completely surreal to see my floating home and my actual porthole of my crew cabin submerged. The stern-where the crew hung-out, drank and played music and sang. I know that boat (and cleaned every inch of it!) like the back of my hand. Truly bizarre. So thankful for the experience and my adventurous young self. so glad no one was hurt during this accident.
Great Story! It is weird for me and I haven't spent a day on the ship!
Love your story! Thankyou for sharing!
life is a journey that boat symbolized it for u!
I might employ you to work on my ship. You sound very reliable. I run a relaxed ship and let all my employees do what they like. You can get drunk, take hallucinogenics, have sex whenever you want and gamble all your money away. My company is going bankrupt but that's because my accountant has run off with my wife! She was a very strict woman, she never let me do anything! I had to do as I was told all the time! Such a shame my accountant stole her off me lol!
This is why I read RUclips comments. Thanks for the good read.
It’s nice to hear a boat sinking story where the crew actually did what they were supposed to
andrea doria and achille lauro
Mini Costa Concordia. (But the crew are actually good people)
Sixshot crew was good on the Concordia except the captain
Innit
Sixshot The crew on the Costa Concordia was good. It was just captain schettino who was a coward and fled the ship.
Yeah if i remember 5 crew members died trying to save the passengers. The captain is in jail he was such a selfish coward 😑
Also there were no deaths on the World Discoverer
I took the photo at 5:50 in September 2010, so happy that it has been seen 160,000 times, the wreck is such an amazing place :)
+Ryan Lewis That's awesome! A beautiful picture for sure!
the solomon islands look lovely id like to go there
Ryan Lewis thx ryan
I hope they pumped out all the fuel and oil or that lovely bay will be ruined once it rusts right through the tanks.
Ryan Lewis Wow
I love your channel because there is no clickbait. its just strait-forward and to the point! thank you!!
+Overwatch News and Updates Thanks, it always makes me happy to see comments like these!
Agreed
@@BrightSunFilms suck it plz
Can we appreciate the captain actually making good decisions here? Hats off to that guy.
Except the one where he hit a fucking rock. Jesus, how high do you have to be to just shrug that off? I used to be a commercial pilot and if I'd hit a tree I couldn't just walk away and claim it wasn't anyone's fault.
@@aaron6806 *captain schettino intensifies*
@@aaron6806 He didn't just hit a rock and not care. It was uncharted and he thought on his feet getting the passengers and the ship to safer ground in time for all. I'm sure you have done commendable things in your career as well.
@@Mandy7D7The captain took his ship through relatively unknown area to larger vessels and uncharted territories.
This series is addictive
The crew of that ship, especially the quick thinking of the captain, were so commendable in how well they handled that situation. Like, honestly, they really made a miracle happen.
I've been a passenger on the last voyage of the World Discoverer. I'll never forget the crackling of the trees when the ship's bow hit them. To be honest I was not aware that the vessel is still there; it's emotional to see it in that sad condition.
Love how the locals ransack it beyond salvage, then complain that the government can't get rid of it. Incredible.
💀
Why can't they just make it a tourist attraction?
@@GoogleyedGoonI think it already is unofficially
Complain to the government whilst he’s looking through the ships windows in his house 🤦♂️
I dunno why, but I feel like the "renaming a ship" curse is true.
The MS Stockholm now known as the MV Astoria would beg to differ.
I mean a good portion of the ships on this channel were renamed
@@dancingcarapace it just has Stockholm Syndrome
@@doubtful_seer I-
That’s
I’m dumbfounded, why didn’t I think of that?
Maybe but a ships owners saying a ship is unsinkable is a death sentence for the ship.
Super interesting
Oh hi spifey :) didn't expect you to be here (no offense btw)
Spifey how is there only 2 likes and 1 comment?? Wtf
Lmao never thought I'd see you here
Spifey! Hi.
Never expected you to be here, but a pleasant surprise
I was having a bad day today, but this new Abandoned video make me feel much better. THANK YOU JAKE
THANK YOU for watching, you're awesome!

This is literally the most likes I've ever gotten on a RUclips comment XD
I worked for Society Expeditions for several years, up until 2001 a year after the World Discoverer hit the reef and sank. I was called in for emergency planning on the night the vessel hit the reef and was involved in many aspects of evacuation, travel and recovery in the year after.
I was in Operations and Sales at different times. The World Discoverer was a true Expedition ship with First Class features, an amazing staff and unique and adventurous itineraries. She had a loyal following.
The vessel owner did attempt to clean the wreckage up, but was impeded by armed locals. After the area was stabilized a further attempt was made, but there was no way to remove without causing damage to nearby reefs. Full consideration was taken for safety and nature.
Grrat video! Thank you so much...!!!
Sounds like a highly professional crew, quickly evaluating their options and choosing one to minimize loss of life and maximize chances of recovering the ship, then seeing those actions through. Good work.
This is a good idea. Even abandoned things as opposed to locations is great! What about abandoned movie sets and things? That'd be cool!
We have some things in the works :)
+Bright Sun Films Oh My Gizzle
Please talk about Centralia Pennsylvania.
+RokaSoka That be cool
In PA we've got museums that look like scrap, a giant burning fire, a couple bankrupt schools, a giant whaleback rock, and the K4s
The world discover was a beautiful ship.she had nice lines.
The locals stole (ransacked or stripped.. call it what you will) the ship of everything it needed, including the porthole windows and then they complain becuase no one wants to come salvage a gutted ship. Ya.. they kinda asked for that. Great Video btw!
people always do that , I am from a little island in north europe and we had similar sitation when I was a little but it was very big cargo ship that was carrying cars n stuff and my father told me that locals stole absolutelly everything from there with two days, but our coverment removed theship because it was ruining our sea water
@@HK-gm8pe Yeah, and the government of the Solomon Island probably doesn't have the same funding as a European island, or the same concerns about water quality.
Yeah, because ALL the locals are responsible for looting the ship. Every. Single. One.
Jackass.
@@deltan6212 Well enough of them partaked, so yeah.
I can sympathize with the locals. Windows are expensive. if I could repurpose some port holes from a cruise ship I would too.
ironic that the very same people who caused irrecoverable damage to the ship now want it removed. i hope they're happy with it for the next 30-40 years!
how was it the fault of the people who live on the island?? they had nothing to do with the ship.
@@taj2156 they looted the ship of everything of value, so hoist by their own petard!
@@richardlorych9868 They? So every single person who lives in the area looted the ship?
@@TheAtkey read my reply again, and in any case stop splitting hairs!
Do you honestly believe every single local took part in a large scale scrapping? They aren't a bloody hive mind.
I. love. your. videos.
I work at Disney World and I love knowing a little more than the average cast member thanks to you.
I often drive by the places you have talked about and it's fun to know their hidden secrets.
I hope you discover more!

A lot of talent man. You will go far in life
+Joe Dirt Means a lot bro
It is so ridiculous that you can just leave a ship somewhere. They should have been forced to clean up their mess.
The owner should have responded sooner to have it towed away before the scavengers took it apart.
The ship was completely gutted by the locals before they could salvage it it’s kind of hard to salvage a ship that can’t be salvaged anymore
I agree, sad that it ended up that way. I also find It upsetting that the residents wanted it removed after they finished ransacking everything 🙄
@Giuliano BassWarrior better to have it working than rusting on someone else's property
I know right I was thinking the same thing
I love how many times he mentions this was a small ship, to make sure everyone remembers this was a small ship. LOL
I know this is super lame, but I just spent 20 minutes trying to find this ship in google maps and I finally found it! I'm lame.
Lat, Long: -9.023016,160.123076
Not lame, it's what I was about to do too. Thanks for the coordinates!
I did the same :)
Drop them coordinates! 😂
I found the Costa Concordia wreck
"Aaaahh get it? Liquidating all of their assets" 😂😂 Heh heh I love you Jake!
Skandar C That one actually made me laugh for some reason.
Skandar C it wasn't a joke
(laughs)
Also 5:41 “I’m not really SHORE” 😂
ThePleasantPanda didnt notice that one
Wasn't a joke.
props to the captain actually being smart during one of these
I'm rewatching all your old videos that first got me watching 8-7 years ago. I've been researching if these places are still here and some are! Including this one it's not moving anytime soon.
Liking this because of the "liquidation" pun.

Hello twin.
I would love to see a detailed video of what happened to Crystal's Spaghetti & Pizza. It was a large old world new Orleans styled restaurant. Like a cabaret feel. Also it had movie theater inside, pianist playing live music, that played old times cartoons and elaborate libraries, fish tanks everywhere. The freaking tables were fish tanks!!! It was a beautiful and unique restaurant chain for several decades. Honestly even though the last of the stores here in Texas wasn't too great looking by the end their pizza and food really tasted quite good! The old style theater and dark low lit environment was mysterious.. Like a haunted mansion. Oh and the amazing frosted glass windows all over with the woman's image emblazoned on to them, I always assumed it was supposed to be Crystal, lol. And of course the spectacular marquee sign outside was fun to watch. I mean for a buffet family restaurant and arcade the place was absolutely incredible. It put Chuck E cheese to shame.
Matt Mitchell you are very good at description... Now i want to go there
Haha thanks! Well there are some photos online and videos on RUclips. But I don't know how great they are. It closed finally about 4 years ago
Matt Mitchell Sounds like lots of fun. Wish they'd open one up in California
Matt Mitchell pa
Matt Mitchell
That sounds Badass 😂
I'm just going through this series and absolutely loving every episode along the way!
After watching so many videos of ships sinking due to human error and said humans abandoning the passengers, this was a welcome change of pace.
I had an obsession with titanic so ya someone who is with me!
TheProcrastinatorPlays me
NetLockGaming me
me hell yea
I have a fascination with maritime disasters as a whole.
All of elementary school I was obsessed with it, learning as much as I can at the time about it
I kinda want to see this. I love cruise ships as well (Titanic was what started the obsession).
Same
Titanic was an ocean liner
My husband and I cruised on the Fabulous World Discoverer in July 1992. Our Alaskan Cruise was Superb.
You make very very informative videos. This is one of the best channels on RUclips.
When Bright Sun releases a new video i get so happy :D
Shuteye Agreed!!
Izzy Gaming I jizz in my pants!
David Webb woah hold on a second calm down a little bit
Shuteye same
It's so hauntingly beautiful to see nature retake abandoned things like this.
The pic of the kids on the beach with the ship in the background is so eerie and comforting at the same time. I like how the plants have started growing on deck, I want to visit and see what else has moved on board!
Just the visual image of that ship on its side next to what looks like its some uninhabited island looks really cool. Such an amazing setup for movies, games, photo ops.
Great work, I certainly appreciate you bringing this to us. Never would have known about it otherwise
Thanks for watching!
Nick Wilson same
***** could you do wonderland next?
one of the few channels i actually keep looking at to see if a new video is posted.
loving em dude.
Maybe had the locals not “stolen” everything off the ship it wouldn’t be there anymore. Karma in full effect...don’t “steal.”
i found that funny, the locals stripped everything they could off it, then were bitching then wanted it gone.... hahaha
Yes because when he said locals that meant every single person who lived on the island even the babies those where the ones taking all the windows I heard. So they should never complain because every single one of the islanders salvaged (it is still called salvaging even if you don't own it) the ship not one islander didn't, all the Grannies they were the first to jump on you know how it is always wanting to outdo there friends as you know
+we say It obviously wasn't a small operation, for all of it's windows to even be removed. A lot of the locals are to blame, likely many who are complaining.
@@voidofspaceandtime4684 this argumentation makes no sense, your for one are moving the goal posts, also this kind of thinking is just moronic, this is just like in North Korea where the whole family is put in prison for the crimes of one person. Firstly it took years upon years in fact it's almost been there for 2 decades for it to get stripped, so no your wrong it wasn't a big operation as it wasn't an operation in the first place, secondly the Solomon islands are a group of 900 islands, so if you are disingenuous enough to claim that the only people salvaging the ship where all local or the only people who want it to be gone are local, you are totally naive. Next why would someone involved in salvage want a huge amount of metal and bolts to be taken away, that is millions to be made from the scrap it's self, unless you are just speculating without thinking about what you are saying. You are also acting in bad faith as if this is a unique thing that salvaging has occurred, I cannot think of any coastal wreck ever, that has ever not been salvaged from.
@@Alex-cw3rz
- "Firstly it took years upon years in fact it's almost been there for 2 decades for it to get stripped"
lol Ive seen time lapse video footage of large groups of locals in other 3rd world countries completely dismantle a large cargo airplane (among other things) in a little over a day. Do you seriously think that it was just a few people over the span of 20 years that slowly removed one thing per day from the ship? Thats not how these typs of salvage ops work.
- "secondly the Solomon islands are a group of 900 islands, so if you are disingenuous enough to claim that the only people salvaging the ship where all local or the only people who want it to be gone are local, you are totally naive."
Its quite clear that the locals are the ones who stripped it AND want it gone. What are you talking about? Where has it ever been suggested that it was anybody BUT locals?
I am absolutely hooked on this series!!!
I always smile when I see you upload a new video! And it's a wonderful vid as always! Absolutely fascinating.
Thanks so much!
These are my all time favorite videos. Thanks so much for all the effort you put into them!
Seeing how much your channel has improved is impressive.. Very intriguing and interesting content, love your channel! Seeing this in person would be amazing. Loved the abandoned Florida resort episode as well.
Abandoned places are fascinating to me, and this channel goes really in depth as to what caused it to be abandoned and I'm loving it.
Love every episode of this series, and I personally think the variety is awesome. You've got your videos about circuit city and blockbuster that track the decline and eventual downfall of huge companies, you got your classic disney videos that chart past and future developments and such, and then you have awesome things like this that you never knew about before!
Anyway, keep up the good work man!
I know you meant that to be perfectly heartfelt and touching and it was, I love the abandoned series so much.
Imagine being on that cruise! "How was your vacation?" "We got SHIPWRECKED!!! :D :D " After the initial fright etc, it must've been an AWFULLY exciting thing to be able to tell people at parties. How many people get genuinely shipwrecked these days? lol
It’s like being hit by a car by your grandma it hurt then it was funny
Just found your channel and I already LOVE it! Both Abandoned and Cancelled are such great ideas, and you do an excellent job of researching your videos and then explaining everything in an interesting and very enjoyable way to watch. PLEASE DO MORE EPISODES OF BOTH BUT ESPECIALLY CANCELLED!!! I hope you continue making videos and keep up the excellent work man!!! :) :) :)
u have to admit the ship had a pretty good life compared to many others
I've heard about this ship before while reaserching a project but never learned the full story. Thanks for this great video :)
Awesome video. Thanks for making this. Now to watch all the rest!
Glad I discovered this series. Great work!
You've really improved in your voice over skills. Great job on the video, always a pleasure to learn new things about old artifacts!
Every time I see a new abandoned video appear in my subscriptions I have to quickly grab food in order to enjoy the video as much and a soon as possible, only now I seem a lot larger than life
" And the company liquidated all of their assets, get it liquidated"
Good one man
I just found this channel like 2 days ago and I'm completely OBSESSED
i think they should leave it their. see what nature does to it. i think it looks beautiful just laying their with the vegetation. but i see as how it may be an annoyance to some of the people living their.
John Sabp how am i an idiot for saying " living there " people live in the area and get bothered by it.
John Sabp ok my mistake i didn't realize.
This got very wholesome
Ashton McClain omg yes
That was the most civil interaction I've ever seen on a social media site
PLEASE Do Maribel International Airport, it's so interesting, or you could do Suksham (Or at least I think it's called that) Nuclear Power Plant on Long Island.
FunFan123Plays Shoreham Nuclear power plant.

Personally I like Suks Ham better.

In my fictional world, this ship never gets abandoned and still successful
Hi Jake, I just want to say that I love your videos. My name is Adam and I live in England. You are one of my favourite You tubers and my favourite episodes are the abandoned episodes. The way you and your friends research, produce and edit these videos is amazing. I have been subscribed to you for over a year and so much has changed, you have improved immensely. I never want you to stop making these videos because they are so good. Thank you
+Adam Boag Thank you so much Adam!
I really appreciate the reply.
This was really interesting. I haven't watched a lot of your videos, but your Abandoned show is really great, it's always really uncomfortable yet fascinating. I have to subscribe.
Thanks for subscribing!
Locals, steal everything from the ship so it becomes financially unsafeable.
Also Locals, complain that there is a Wreck that noone pays to remove...
Some locals strip ship for their benefit
Some locals recognize it as possibly unsafe

Obsessed with abandoned places. Love the videos. I enjoy seeing about abandoned or nearly abandoned militarily important Pacific islands. Like Midway Island (nearly abandoned), French Frigate Shoals, Johnston Atoll, etc.
Thanks for making this, Ive seen that ship in so many photos and thumbnails and I’ve never heard the story.
These videos are amazing!!! I love them so much!
+Candace Boyle Thank you so much Candace!
Your Abandoned intro always gives me chills!!... in a good way haha!!
Randomly found this on google earth and this is a really great story behind its final resting place. ❤️
I've seen images of that ship often but never knew the complete story thanks for the video.
I found my new video series to binge watch!
Thanks for making these videos, I absolutely love everything about them. 🥰🥰🥰✨
Your films about shipwrecks are excellent and intriguing. You honor their memory. We like it.
This is so cool! Things like this are so interesting to me. I'd love to go there and take some pictures.
OMG I love maritime history! You should do more like these.
6 Years later she is still rested on the banks of the bay. There is even a hotel with bungalows looking out onto the sea and the wreck, they also have a pontoon pretty close to the bow. Would be cool to see some pictures of the area today.
Your pronunciation of Liberia has me rolling... “Lib-rrr-rr-ahaaa”
Literally same, I’m screaming
I love your videos! They're so interesting. Keep them coming! :)
Thank you so much!
i have come to really look forwards to your videos ...Thanks for making them and putting in the editing time to make them look as good as anything on TV ... i'll be happy when you do a segment on cable TV lol
it is also cool the way i end up looking up for more info and seeing other wrecks ...KEEP IT UP :}
The ship is beautiful. I'd love to see it in person. I've been fascinated by ships and shipwrecks since I was a kid.
Im glad your into cruise ships, there my favourite videos of yours.
6:43 I was on that ship yesterday, or maybe it’s sister ship. I was on the Mariner Of The Seas
This video is so fascinating. I never knew this ever happened or existed until now. Thanks for your always amazing content.
A year and a half later, those is still possibly my favorite in this series.
Happy to see another cruise ship fan like me! I was on a similar ship you were in 2010 and that was when I just fell in love with cruising! Unfortunately I've got no more friends to cruise with and going with my family's too expensive, so right now I don't see a chance to go on another ship as big as the Independence or as small as the Discoverer. Can't wait to be sailing out of port canaveral again!
6:45 I was on that ship in November lol
Awesome video, thanks for sharing it with us! Keep it up.. you have a bright RUclips career
Ahead of you*
Another great episode Jake.
okay, but i was exactly the same with ships and shipwrecks when i was in middle school (2006-2009) and i still am. i touted my giant shipwreck encyclopedia everywhere with me and i must've read it cover to cover at least 50 times. which is why i'm pretty shocked that i hadn't heard of this? great video! i love hearing about new wrecks! i'm not as into ship stuff as i used to be, but i still can't help myself. i wanted to be a marine archaeologist back then and it never really goes away.
And here we have the rare sinking of a boat that actually has a good crew
one day everything built by humans will just be sitting around rotting... will be a ghost earth
This is so interesting thanks for making this series
+Padparadscha Is the best Thanks!
Love your channel! I'll take an abandoned thing/place story over a ghost story any day 👏
