Every time you post a new video, i get excited, but also think that there's no way you could have improved on your storytelling and film making skills. Every time, I am wrong! This channel is one of the very few that makes me stop what I'm doing when a notification pops up, and watch immediately. Cheers to all who make it happen!
Here's to the Daisy and her pretty triple expansion engine. Jack of all trades and master of none, but she was always there. Here's to the Daisy's crew. For they may have been lacking a Marconist, but had the legs to do the 200-mile rescue run. Here's not to Porter and their shenanigans. May the Devil take 'em and never let 'em go. Excellent video, Tom. She's too far gone to be rescued, but there's some consolation in that her resting place isn't all that bad. Cheers.

At 73 years of age it never ceases to amaze me how much I still can learn. I'm so glad I happened upon your channel. Thank you for your dedication to helping keep a lot of our past history alive!
Always makes me so sad to see ships like this. They are still very much beautiful the sadness is from people no longer knowing them. Thank you for remembering Daisy and sharing her story
So sad when you see what remains of such a gallant old girl. I spent a decade on the West coast and did some work for the Vancouver Maritime Museum in Kitts. I became fascinated with maritime history. This is really first rate story telling, thanks !
i lived near there for the first 25 years of my life. i remember pulling up on shore dr and drinking coffee on a lunch break and watching the ships come and go. Never knew there was a local wreck right beside me. thanks for sharing.
Finally!! My friends and I went to Dartmouth high and would walk down at lunch and smoke and hang out there (before the homeless camp) there was little information at the time on the ship on the internet at the time so thank you for making this video, just seeing the footage you have of it brought me back to high school ❤️
I remember playing in this ship and also exploring it in the late 1980s. My friend and I also played ice hockey on these grounds on very thin ice after we cleared the snow away. My friend’s house was a stone throw away under the bridge. Best memories for sure.
For some reason, RUclips had unsubsidised me from your channel, so I've missed a bunch of videos without meaning to. I'm rectifying this oversight tonight. So glad to sit and relax to your brilliant story-telling for the next while...
My Granny was born in Burin in 1904. I have ancestors from way back in Burin and around Newfoundland. Thanks for even more history from my long, long ago family.
I did not expect to enjoy hearing the backstory of an old tugboat, but here I still am over 20mins later. You bring these buried stories back to life. Incredible devotion to your passion and such a lovely enthralling charming voice for narrating. Subscribed.
Another great video - the story, the photography, the ambience are all top notch. No matter whether it is a ship, a ghost town, a disaster or something else you have the magic of making it come alive. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Daisy, for all your years and service! May your legacy live on forever. And thank you, Part-time Explorer, for bringing our attention to her!
one tends to forget how much history is all around when you live in Halifax...i think i remember that site being a scrapyard of sorts back in the 80's,you used to be able to look down into it when going over the bridge...pretty sure the Bras D'or was sitting there for a while[now a museum ship in Quebec],there were never many hydroplanes around,so i'm pretty sure it was her,long after the navy was done with her but before she was moved on ...but..the memories are foggy of just looking out the window of the bus on random days 40 years ago as a teenager
Fascinating to hear so much of the history of this ship. We stumbled across it years ago when we were exploring the area. Quite a surprising find in the heart of the city.
Incredible video! I am a naval architect from Burin, and I had no idea about this vessel. I’ve been following your channel for quite a while now and was pleasantly surprised to hear the Newfoundland connection with this vessel. Thank you so much for putting in the work and investigating the actual site, very cool. You have the terminology nailed man! Also props for pronouncing Newfoundland correctly! lol
EXCELLENT! Video in all respects. Halifax is an Old Historic Place and there are still a few REMAINS to be found and seen of those times long long ago if one goes Exploring!
Another exciting and interesting video, Tom. I love your videos, they are so well researched and narrowed, no annoying computer voice, but calm and informative lines. I am grateful for this video, because when I heard you speaking of Nova Scotia, I remember your vid about the beautiful German yacht "Schwalbe". I am a huge fan of this video about the little yacht, and it broke my heart to learn, that it was removed from her resting place by the authorities. Thank you so much for your video about the Schwalbe, so I can visit her whenver I want to see her. Sometimes I feel rather impatient when waiting for a new one of your videos. Keep up your excellent work, Tom, thank you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Strange that i get so much Joy out of you reading all the Patreon Supporters in the End, that i found myself not skipping it ONCE ever :D Shoutout to the PepperMilk, the newest Addition if im not mistaken :D Awesome Video
Absolutely fascinating.Greetings from Yorkshire. Flamborough North Humberside. I would have a little piece of this mounted on my wall. A sad end to such ship. Thank you for posting.
There must be so many similar stories waiting to be told around our coasts - you could never really guess them looking at the state of the poor Daisy now. Have to comment on your wonderful built-in furniture - wonder what it's crafted from - certainly a handsome thing which must have a story to tell. Certainly a unique work of art. Cheers.
I'm a Haligonian, but didn't know a thing about this, even that it was there! Hope they've started teaching these things in school, cause I sure wasn't taught it.
Someday (I pray and wish), someone will remind the future people of the greatest longliner ever built in her time. The *Alakan Leader.* I'm so proud to have braved the Bering sea aboard her. What a mighty vessel! Her Captains and crews exemplified the pinnacle of excellence. There is a documentary about her sister ship, the *Bering Leader,* but there was a first, The Leader. I am honored to have been on her original voyages into that frozen Hell. Built in Mobile Alabama. Sailed through the Panama canal. Based in Kodiak, Alaska. Captain Richard Thummel at the helm. It's the ship of legends.
Hello! As a land-locked Nebraskan, anything having to do with ships and shipwrecks is fascinating to me. Thanks for all of the research you do. I am amazed that they had such endearing names for these giant vessels.
If yiur ever down south near the island of edisto you should make an video about the "Atlantis of the south" Edingsville which was destroyed by 2 seperste hurricanes and then consumed by a changing coast and is now underwater
There is a WW I U-boat which came to America as a war prize. It was eventually sunk off the coast of Winnetka, Illinois, just north of Chicago. That might make a good video.
@@sirboomsalot4902 I think you're right. Didn't know Eastland was involved. Wow. We need to get that U-boat up...her ballast is...mercury. Back then, I guess we didn't know the danger.
Porter sounds like your average petty capitalist. the Daisy's story, the men who crewed her too, along with the people who care about those stories are the stuff that makes communities, and keeps them going. it's not the high and mighty or their politicians that claim that is their mission. they just live off the avails of the hard work that the rest of us have to do.

Did anyone asked you for your sad useless opinión?
Thats because they steal content from people like us
@@JobyFluorine-ru4bd looks like someone has never felt happiness before, these videos are full documentaries, free here on youtube.
@JobyFluorine-ru4bd what kind of sheltered life do u live spending ur time replying hate to a positive comment
Hmm?
@apancher I couldn’t agree more.

The amount of deterioration since just 2017 is incredible. Great story - good to know the history of the ship before it's completely gone.

You just had to go and make our Friday didn’t you.. well we all appreciate it
"Twice a day she sinks all over again" I wasn't ready for this feel.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😮
Almost brought a tear
Titanic
So sad when you see what remains of such a gallant old girl.
I spent a decade on the West coast and did some work for the Vancouver Maritime Museum in Kitts. I became fascinated with maritime history.

Clearly, your productions are exhaustively researched, mindfully edited and well narrated. Thank you!
Dude you really find some obscure boats. Excellent work. Thank you
Your channel stands out from other channels in the category. Keep doing what you're doing 👍
I remember playing in this ship and also exploring it in the late 1980s. My friend and I also played ice hockey on these grounds on very thin ice after we cleared the snow away. My friend’s house was a stone throw away under the bridge. Best memories for sure.
I've walked that shore. Always assumed it was sunk as back file. Never imagined it had a storied past. Thanks for sharing.

You’ve inspired me to get out and explore the area around me in Vegas …..the recent heatwave has convinced to postpone those plan a bit
Saw you today, you were at the graveyard and asked my grandpa for something at his barn, super cool
I love these docs. So well put together. Relaxing, informative, and high quality
What a wonderfully produced look at this hostoric vessel, thank you!
I did not expect to enjoy hearing the backstory of an old tugboat, but here I still am over 20mins later. You bring these buried stories back to life. Incredible devotion to your passion and such a lovely enthralling charming voice for narrating. Subscribed.
Fascinating! I wonder how many people have seen her remains and had no idea of the stories she could tell.
Just catching up on some videos. Always look forward to your posts, Tom!
Another great video - the story, the photography, the ambience are all top notch. No matter whether it is a ship, a ghost town, a disaster or something else you have the magic of making it come alive. Keep up the good work.
This is only the second video you’ve posted since I’ve subscribed and already you are my favorite channel to see in my sub box
Thank you, Daisy, for all your years and service! May your legacy live on forever. And thank you, Part-time Explorer, for bringing our attention to her!
Tom, thank you so much for your interesting videos about obscure tidbits of history. My family is always very attentive while watching. ❤
Another awesome video! Love seeing your coverage of NS!
Fantastic video once again! Super interesting story!
This is my favorite you tube channel. It's a great day when I see a video from Part-Time Explorer in my feed.
Thank you Tom. You have made my whole week with this video. All your videos are excellent. Thank you.
Paused while I make popcorn!
Your channel is the best and so underrated. People should join your patreon
Excellent as always! Thanks for your hard work.

My Grandfather Reginald was born on 3 August, 1929 in Burin. Great video, thank you for sharing this.
Fascinating to hear so much of the history of this ship. We stumbled across it years ago when we were exploring the area. Quite a surprising find in the heart of the city.
I sail past that all the time - great video
I'm so very excited to watch every time I get the notification you have uploaded! Thank you for all your hard work. Your storytelling is fantastic!
Simply brilliant. Well done
I love learning more history about my own country, thank you for the video!
I honestly can't wait till you get to go up to the Great Lakes again, we've got many old hulks still about, with equally interesting stories.
Incredible video! I am a naval architect from Burin, and I had no idea about this vessel.

Definitely should dig some of it out and uncover the buried sections
Was going to watch Martincitopants. Saw this drop and dropped everything to watch it.
Very interesting. Great job!
Great research!
Your tales & delivery are Top Notch. Ty for taking us along
The music is absolutely perfect for this presentation
Thanks for showing us all of these ships 😊
Another excellent video. Thank you!
Great story here! But it’s also sad to see the remains and how deteriorated it is.
Thank you for another great video. It makes me happy to know the story, but make me sad it is a story long gone. Ships, you care for them.
Strange that i get so much Joy out of you reading all the Patreon Supporters in the End, that i found myself not skipping it ONCE ever :D Shoutout to the PepperMilk, the newest Addition if im not mistaken :D Awesome Video
So enjoyed this one!! ❤
Thank you for all the work you do to bring us some of the history that is all around us but we don't recognize is there.
I think there might be a pier made of a ship in North Philadelphia too. And the lightship Barnegat in Camden NJ might make a good video topic.
Wow. Excellent tour of Daisy. Thank you.
Absolutely fascinating.Greetings from Yorkshire. Flamborough North Humberside. I would have a little piece of this mounted on my wall. A sad end to such ship. Thank you for posting.

Thank you once again for making such an amazing video on a little ship like this.
Super cool. I used to visit the Daisy when I lived in the area before I moved 5 years ago.
I have always wondered about this, fascinating!
I'm a Haligonian, but didn't know a thing about this, even that it was there!
Hope they've started teaching these things in school, cause I sure wasn't taught it.
I dig the tales you tell, and I dig the way you tell ’em. 🫡
Very well done video. So interesting with plenty of information. ;)
Being from dartmouth I find this very important n interesting great job documenting this
Someday (I pray and wish), someone will remind the future people of the greatest longliner ever built in her time. The *Alakan Leader.* I'm so proud to have braved the Bering sea aboard her. What a mighty vessel! Her Captains and crews exemplified the pinnacle of excellence.
There is a documentary about her sister ship, the *Bering Leader,* but there was a first, The Leader.
I am honored to have been on her original voyages into that frozen Hell.
Built in Mobile Alabama. Sailed through the Panama canal. Based in Kodiak, Alaska. Captain Richard Thummel at the helm.
It's the ship of legends.
I worked the Bering.
Every job thereafter is easier, and outperforming landlubbers is as easy as a nap.
Commercial diving Atlantic winters came close.
Awesome video 👏
Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you 🙏
Hello! As a land-locked Nebraskan, anything having to do with ships and shipwrecks is fascinating to me. Thanks for all of the research you do. I am amazed that they had such endearing names for these giant vessels.
incredible intro! been watching you for years now man, youve come such a long way. well done!
Incrediable! Thank you!
Great work!❤
Been there !! It was a very photogenic location; quite lovely.
I have spent 18 years of my life in the Halifax area, and had no idea of this wreck in the harbour.
Jermome's Rock, Sandy Cove NS - if you are looking for mysteries this might be very cool!
If yiur ever down south near the island of edisto you should make an video about the "Atlantis of the south" Edingsville which was destroyed by 2 seperste hurricanes and then consumed by a changing coast and is now underwater
I just live across the bridge from that old thing. Great video as always.
Thank you for your work, so much!
Great video as always.
What a video, thanks as usual sir.
I would love to see you do a video about the Halifax Explosion with on-site footage, to see what the area looks like.
Nice job
Great video. Just out of curiousity, how long does it take to produce a video like this?
There is a WW I U-boat which came to America as a war prize. It was eventually sunk off the coast of Winnetka, Illinois, just north of Chicago. That might make a good video.
SM UC-97 iirc. It was the former SS Eastland that was tasked with sinking her
@@sirboomsalot4902 I think you're right. Didn't know Eastland was involved. Wow. We need to get that U-boat up...her ballast is...mercury. Back then, I guess we didn't know the danger.
Don't know how to use that newfangled contraption? Go 200 miles instead. Much simpler!
23:31 Today's RRR-Mmmm sighting
This is so interesting.
MIND BLOWING FANTASTIC..THANK YOU AGAIN..WILL YOU BE COMING TO MAINE TO DO A SHIPWRECK STOREY AGAIN?
YAAAAAY first comment!! :3
love your videos BTW! 👍😊
I knew this boat from the thumbnail. I've dove around it!
We're probably the same age or I'm a little older than you. But I would have loved you as my history teacher.
Porter sounds like your average petty capitalist.
the Daisy's story, the men who crewed her too, along with the people who care about those stories
are the stuff that makes communities, and keeps them going.
it's not the high and mighty or their politicians that claim that is their mission.
they just live off the avails of the hard work that the rest of us have to do.
