I am an "anything mechanical" nut. I thoroughly loved this video, just like so many others you make. Thank you, Chris !
Your videos are fascinating, and presenting style is spot on. I live in Scotland, have never been to the US, and can't get enough of your channel. I've followed you for a few years now and still look forward to your next video. Keep up the great work 👍
Amazing history of what we all take for granted…paper! Your insight and passion for such historical and spectacular doings is unmatched Chris.
Love this kind of stuff and you do it fabulously!💙🙏🏻💥Thanks Chris
That was a incredible story thank you. Looking forward to the next story
Thats a great story Chris! 👍 I've been looking forward to this one-
Thoroughly enjoy all of your Explores and Stories..thanks for taking us along!
Coolest place ever!!! Thanks
I worked in a paper mill for 25 years, it was built in 1891 and that building is as far as I know the only one still standing. We used water turbines as well for power and the river itself to supply water for steam. The turbines there are still in use generating electricity for the local hydro company.
i know of a post mils vermont they had a log and bobbin mill it was still in operation 1990s. it was dismantled in the 2000s.
I could just imagine the heat coming off those torches. Interesting vid!
Great video, very interesting as always!!!
I was so excited to see you uploaded this, am enjoying my vacation as you explore the hidden gems of many years ago , the 2 boys were crazy , looking forward to more of your trip 😊
Awesome
Interesting place and dr pepper is the best soda.
Checking in from Grafton County NH! Great videos!
Great video mate. Big fan from Australia.
It’s funny to see two blokes just casually remove those turbines with a dodgy crane and some old trucks! I hope they got some decent money for it.
Ps those kids were mad jumping off that bridge!
Great video! It's an interesting look at what was once such an important business. Thanks for sharing!
Okay so you got me. Reading the comments made me have to subscribe! Now don't disappoint me sonny. I take this stuff seriously!
One question I just cant answer for myself when seeing them guys use these torches in jeans and flanell with towels on their heads: Couldnt they have borrowed one of those extreme heat resistant suits from the nearest steelworks? 😅 They obviously had it all figured out, except for that thing about personal work safety and a certain degree of comfort while boiling off iron and steel. 🥵
I was thinking the same thing 😊
Find me a foundry in New Hampshire. I'll wait.
Steelworks? How far is it to Pittsburgh anyway?🤔
How did they make that bridge back before cranes and heavy equipment ?
While in Maine, you might make a visit to Rangeley and see the Whilhelm Reich Museum and lands. That is where Reich carried out his controversial research.
Great video I'm not sure what makes people spray paint graffiti all over older places like that
That's what kids do I guess, some join gang's when they should read a book
@carystorm1863 yeah true
Sadly it's been happening for years, my Dad said when he was a teenager idiots were spray painting stuff, they were also target practicing on abandoned cars, busting windows out of old farmhouses, he said they were just idiots, My Dad passed away July 4, 2002 he would have been 91 September 4th, he called them destructive imbeciles 😢
Maybe they think it preserves it?
@@monsterglo a true American R.I.P
I hang out there all the time! You need to go to GG Allins grave.littleton nh! Was just there for 30 years dead!that bridge kids are always jumping off it all summer.
If that bridge is Truly Wrought Iron , real Wrought Iron not the steel they call Wrought iron today it has value.
No longer made it is sought by blacksmiths and the only company I know sells it in UK from recycled bridges etc.
I didn't see any electrical equipment. Kinda looks like the turbines supplied mechanical power instead of running generators and then using the electricity. 🤔
A turbine doesn't even remotely imply electrical power.....yes, it's about geared, direct, or belt driven mechanical power......electrical power on this scale didn't exist then.
Wonder how much money they made off them? It better of been worth it for all that work lol. .
Go green power they should have left them in there dummys
Worms and their stupid drawings.
Post 10 has better exploration videos!
Smooth brain comment of the day
Nothing is safe from taggers is it.
Nothing
It's literally the crumbling ruins of a long abandoned mill house. Some people will find any reason to bitch.
They defy gravity too.
It’s amazing how they get into the strangest and most dangerous places to graffiti.
@@apocyldoomer the harder the spot is to reach, the harder it is for another to tag over your work. It also adds to the impression of the piece. Graffiti, like any other art form, often goes unappreciated by Ludites.
Good to see that someone saved the turbines and that they were put back in operation someplace else
Love this kind of history, the forgotten. ❤.. Terrific job Chris.
Thanks!
cool history. i have seen a berlin cast iron bridge in meriden ci in a park.
You always have great videos, Chris! I can't even begin to imagine being involved with the manual labor it took to cut out those big pieces of iron and get them safely loaded on trucks and hauled away!
It would have been interesting to be there and watch it all happen.
The paper mill I worked at here in Minnesota we had the same exact method running the pulp beaters by water power. A canal was constructed in the 1800’s from the Mississippi River and went under the mill. It closed up in the 1990’s after going bankrupt. It’s now called Mill Park located in Little Falls, Mn. They left some of the remnants behind when they tore it down.
I ll look it up for next time I'm in Minnesota
We will always support you. Seems like you genuinely love what you do.
I see a great renovation here for some type of park but would cost a lot of money
Definitely big bucks
Greetings from the ozark mountains! Arkansas side!❤
One of my favourite vloggers, you always go to some interesting places ❤
Just like in the 1981 movie Thief starring James Caan ,they used a burning bar to break into a safe. Good movie. Anyway, another great video from you! Keep up the great work! Take care.
Chris, you seem to manage to find the most interesting places and locate the stories behind them. It's too bad you can't travel back in time to film some of this stuff as it happens. God Bless and stay safe.
*HOME!* There was a video of a crew extracting the turbines30 years ago on RUclips somewhere, on the Internet somewhere. There used to be a hospital just across route 3. My pop remembers driving over the bridge before it was closed. Can you imagine driving that open deck with just a few flimsy pipe rails between you and the drop into Livermore Falls?!
Used to be a great place to swim when I was a kid, there's a nice little beach on the upper river side of the mill. Or at least there used to be. That's where the Playboy party pick photo shoot from the 80s took place.
Playboy's are a clue LoL same characters always lurking in the shadows. Bunnies from the rabbit hole.
I wonder how they made out, when the books were all balanced. It's interesting that it would be more profitable to recover 80, 100 (?) year old technology than to purchase contemporary units.
But you've also got to imagine the mammoth task involved in installing them in the first place. I suppose that story has been lost to time, but it must have been a pretty hair raising sequence to lower those giants down into there (and to transport them to that location), especially considering the limitations of the equipment of the time.
Those turbines are actually very efficient. Not much has changed in the last 130 yrs they pretty much nailed the Francis Turbine back than. Alot of those 1890-1910 turbines are still in use hooked to better more efficient Generators and electronic control.
@@charlesdeilke8364 Appreciate your insight, thanks for the reply, very interesting!
Welcome to New Hampshire. We have an abandoned Leather Board factory in Milton , NH.
You go to the coolest places, stay safe dude.❤
Clever thumbnail. I thought you were performing some risky stunt at first! 😅
😁
Old fashion American ingenuity. I wonder where the turbines are now. Beautiful area. Thanks Chris
Amazing place. Thanks so much for the video, I truly enjoyed this. Happy & safe journey Chris! 💜☮️
Thanks, very cool. Don't want to be rude but please listen...when speaking it's not necessary to say "raise it UP, or lower it DOWN, or collapse it DOWN" that's stupid. Lower means down and raise means up. Also, there are no eggs in EXIT... After the extraction, where do you suppose they reinstalled this giant turbine? And now I know what the expression "beat you to a pulp" means. heh heh
@7:58 Primus Sucks!! Yes they do🎸😎👍 The only tagging I liked
You are coming up with some interesting finds.
Man those termite cutting bars must have been something else to see. I used to wield in high school. I can’t imagine working with something 8,000 plus degrees hot!!! They couldn’t pay me enough to do that job.
You must keep up on your tetanus shot regularly with all these adventures haha
I got one recently actually haha
Great video stay safe ❤
Wierd that a mill would have crinilations on it. Like a military fort or siege wall.
there is one established in 1922 down the road from me still in operation today Stonehouse Paper & Bag Mills Ltd its got some nice historic photos on the website if you want to see what they looked like on the inside its the other side of the pond tho
Great story Chris!!!❤
I'm loving the series ❤👍
Thank you for showing us this piece of history
Thank you for a great story Chris!
Very cool stuff Chris as well as the history.
Imagine living back then! And Working .there... it amazing how time flies! Everything changes so fast. Great story. 😊
Funny that you also have East Berlin over there 😅
Great area. Portsmouth, kittery, Portland have tons of history. Stay at wentworth by the sea for a really unique experience. Albacore is a must too in Portsmouth. Great video as always 😀
You're making me hyperventilate just watching you hang over those ledges pointing out things!😁
Very interesting!
VERY COOL CHRIS,THANK YOU
I keep thinking of Privy Pits at a lot of places you go. Gotta be bottle dumps. The grafilthy cracked me up. " Dopeless Hope Fiend" reminds me of someone I know
Back when I was a kid in the 80s there was a lot less ruin, and you could see the concrete floor clearly; there was a terrific gigantic re-creation of the Becks beer label in the middle. Plymouth State College was one of the party college picks for playboy magazine in the 80s, they used the very pleasant little beach where the intakes were that is now excavated as the setting for the photo shoot. 😃
Love the history 💚💚💚 awesome find!
My home State.. glad you are here❤️
The states of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire include some of the most beautiful parts of the country. Thanks for posting and stay safe......
Thanks Chris. Quite interesting. 👍
Are you shooting your own drone shots?
Also known as "The Goldschmidt process " to get the turbines out of their place ...
Maybe the way to go would have been to drill a lot of holes and also use a torch? I love hybrid solutions tbh
Also like that Dopeless Hope Fiend tag
Yes very interesting subject of a paper mill and getting rid of big turbines. Then those two kids jumping off that bridge and then all that smoke brought pilice and fire department out there. I wonder if they had to pay a fine for bringing them out there.? Great video.
I think the idea of fines like that is very recent, and either way - why would anyone have to pay a fine for the FD showing up if they weren't doing anything? A fine for a false alarm on the alarm system is different than someone else calling 911.
Wow, that was different! Crazy story! Good stuff Chris, you never disappoint! Happy Trails.
As a kid, I would jump off almost any bridge into any river and now as a dad of 3 boys, I dont even let them ride a bike without a helmet 😅
I've seen two videos on that bridge and I can't believe the water is even deep enough to do that there. A bridge where I grew up has very deep water but some outcrops that stick up from the bottom and we've had some fatalities.....you really have to know what's under the water to do that
What is the other channel?
Neat ruins. Interesting history
I loved the bridge. My favorite. Thanks for all you do.
The was cool!!
I appreciate the adventures in every video. I've been a fan of the channel for a few years now.
Nice vid, Chris! My maternal grandfather (RIP 1968) worked at that mill for a time. Had I known you were passing through Cow Hampsha, I would've invited you for a beer!
This Documentary is Excellent!. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It's not the only "pumpkinseed" bridge. The Smithfield Street Bridge in downtown Pittsburgh PA is alive and well.
With all the work and expenses that went into this, it seems like it would be cheaper to fabricate your own turbines. They don't seem particularly complicated, and they're not terribly large.
The Mill makes a fortune exploiting the resources, pollute the river and then leave all that blight behind w/o responsibility.
Amazing how they salvaged repaired and used again after being left abandoned for so long. That’s proper recycling ♻️
You're in my hood. So cool. There's lots of great places to explore in NH. Maybe I'll see ya around. Lol.
Excellent video, thanks! So many questions.... Why did they destroy the bridge? Who built the original ancient structure - see the large blocks? Who made the turbines? Who was that someone who paid to remove and stash the turbines somewhere else? There's so much more going on around this site, that we would never know.
The kids that jumped that bridge were lunatics 😂😂😂😱
Amazing history! Makes one wonder how they even built this mill back then!
Where is that? Manchester? Berlin?
Plymouth, almost into Campton on route three
I've been there a few times, tons of fun swimming and rock jumping in that area, I actually remember swimming up the river to that paper mill from the public beach area to explore.
Very interesting! Thank you so much! …..🌝
Really interesting & great job putting this together...even got some sound effects with some of those stills! Keep up the fine work Chris
Imagine building that mill with the equipment they had at the time....that was truly an accomplishment. I think it's great these old turbines are still being used...even if not for their intended purpose.
Do you know if there are any videos of where the turbines reside today ? Assuming they havent since been sold for scrap and recycled.
Yikes 😳 that looks like a dangerous place to wonder around! You better have your tetanus shot! Great video though!
Hugely interesting. Great video, thanks
I swear the only thing that might even just slow down the vandals is the tattoo across their foreheads that says vandal. Or even better maybe tattoo. I have no respect for other people's property. All over their faces!.
