I was only 10, and witness everything along with my dad and my 12 year old brother. This film is just as I remember it. Everybody’s ankles,
and feet got wet. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Rip all 30 souls that died becuase of this ship... but... this is kind funny how it just ent up you cant lie. R.I.P
Was the hull compromised when it slammed against the opposing dock?
It was not compromised, damaged, I think a little.
@@theskicker8856 I'm trying to locate the video again here on RUclips, but there was an older gentleman whose father was a ship captain, and they were both there the day that the Fitzgerald was launched. He says one of the workers at the shipyard came running through the crowd calling for his father, and when he found him he said "Clem, you're not gonna believe this. She snapped the forward hawser and buckled several plates on the port side." The man telling the story says his father turned to him, shaking his head and said "I never want to sail on that ship!"
@@lonewolf9390 really?! Good luck finding it!
Impressive!
June 7th, not June 8th.
Omgosh, I didn't know she brought the grandstand down...i'm in shock.
Fitz didn't want to be in that water!! It was bad luck when the champagne bottle not break on the 1st try.
I understand this was some years before she went down, but as you say...some considered that to be a bad sign.
