One of my favorite episodes for Drain the Oceans. The way they bring the shipwrecks into the light, despite being computer, it’s still amazing.

[@squawkwardscience]

Can you imagine being a sailor in this era? No wetsuits, just pure terror

[@lee-ln5bg]

Can you imagine being a slave in this environment

[@lee-ln5bg]

Straight terrible fear and pain and terror and death ☠ 😢

[@MoltenUprisingMK]

That description of the Virginia was perfect. It legit chilled me to the bone.

[@TheGamblerOfTheUnexpected]

city of Dwaraka, drain the ocean for this godly city, you yourself will be in awe

[@theGlobalSphere]

I really love this Series

[@MrFroglips69]

A very groovy and informative documentary. Well done, well done indeed.

[@Russia-bullies]

You should feature more US Civil War river fights.There were lots of interesting tech involved.The only problems=strong currents & traffic,if I’m right.

[@jaysoncasas3511]

I really loved national Geographic

[@mkhanman12345]

i like nat geo

[@joshchapman4753]

You don’t anymore?

[@Dr-Malik]

Informative

[@kellyschram5486]

I think Monitors greatest challenge was not the battle it didn't sink her. I think it was the storm that put her on the bottom.

[@Twerkulies]

They LITERALLY said that........................

[@kellyschram5486]

@@Twerkulies they literally said the battle with CSS Virginia was her greatest challenge. Not her death later.

[@wurldnews7586]

yes boss you well balance keep it up

[@austinalfred4851]

Tech N9naaaahhh... I was just as surprised as you when i first saw him... "Truth gonna lose it when he sees this"

Thanks for meaningful and valuable video as always ❤❤❤

[@henlohenlo689]

their content has a way of going inside of me, my mind.

[@mkhanman12345]

@@henlohenlo689 Good. I will watch.

[@sarojkumaridrawingclasses4019]

Nice 👌 😊

[@chris.asi_romeo]

Great documentary. I enjoy watching. 💯👏 Love Drain the Oceans Series.

[@raimundo.israel.fonseca]

Perfect, evolution films

[@VersusARCH]

The first modern war was the Crimean war a decade earlier. It featured pretty much all the advances often claimed to have been first used during the US Civil War.

[@blam320]

Source?

[@VersusARCH]

@@blam320 History. Ironclad batteries were used by France against Russian shore defenses (for instance the Lave), Telegraph, railroad, trenches, exploding shells... All of those were used during the Crimean War.

[@cyberpunkrocker]

The subtitles are going badly out of sync towards the end 🤨

[@user-sk1re7og5e]

I think he needs to re uploaded the lost of giants

[@Russia-bullies]

Wrong!The Virginia’s hull was not completely metal.The Monitor did ram the Virginia but it didn’t result in damage.

[@chrisc8156]

You are correct. However accurate information (a few inches of metal armor backed by 24-30 inches of oak and pine) might interfere with the dramatic presentation.

[@BALOYBEACHBUM]

Those ships are not to be disturbed, they are graves and must be respected, no matter which side they fought for, they where all Americans!

[@KATHRYNSmith-ug3jk]

YOU CAN TAKE THE WAYER AWAY WHY CAN'T YOU TAKE THE SAND AWAY ALSO

[@The_Destroyer16]

Without France the u.s. of a would have not been there but hey nice ship

[@user-rf6kx8lp1c]

More like Dr. James Cameron

[@Simp_Zone]

Please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ENABLE AUTO GENERATED SUBTITLES!!! These pre written ones are all over the screen, badly timed and always wrong!

[@northerners2828]

Did anyone watch the new civil war movie 2024? 😅

[@jinwu9423]

the main antagonists were absurdly dumb and racist.

[@wurldnews7586]

boos she ah trouble she is giving problem

[@antsfarm9x]

I'm creating videos about ant colonies and various animals. With a deep appreciation for nature and a love for animals, we create environments such as Terrariums, Vivariums, and Paludariums that authentically reflect the lives of ants and other animals. I hope you'll tune in and look forward to it! 🎉🎥👌😍🎬

[@pierredecine1936]

Both your narration and your script is pathetic . Not at all a good Nat Geo !

[@chrisc8156]

Terrible documentary. Ridiculous over dramatic music, breathless commentary, over-reliance on computer generated animation, very little information and idiotic "scientists". When did National Geographic turn into TLC & the History Channel? Looking forward to the Alien Spacecraft in the next Drain the Oceans.
