It certainly was incredible how a huge ship became a pile of rusted metal over time. I have a few bits from the ship and you can still find items from the ship all over the place.
That an intact ocean liner was broken up and scattered so quickly by the sheer force of the waves alone is humbling. You'd think she'd been dynamited... Incredible dive though. Suprised it's not a more popular site

She's completely destroyed . She's in pieces & in peace now , scattered at the bottom of the waves She was the troop carrier USS Westpoint during World War II. The last remains are here . But lot of parts are stolen by locals . There are a whole bunch of them, in a bar, on the main island. P.S : ruclips.net/video/54yLrpNKozk/видео.html this is one of the last video on board before towing for scrap .
What pieces of wreckage were shot? I could see intact parts of her hull, a few spots where the rooms once were, the floor of the dining room, the tip of the bow etc? I saw extra pics you took of her online as well.
Está todo así en pedazos repartidos por el fondo del mar? Y que fue de la popa, dónde se encuentra hundida y en qué estado estará? La proa quedó destrozada por completo por lo que veo pues que pena pensaba que estarían intactos sus camarotes y grandes salones bajo el agua, lo que si tengo curiosidad es por saber dónde está la popa
Nva seen the rest of it underwater since it basically rotted. How deep is the stern in the ocean? Actually alot of ship is still underwater. Thought it might be a few pieces, can still see the bow
@@jamiecinder9412 ye, nothing left. You know how they explode a building and it just comes crashing down to a pile of rubble? Well, imagine the building this ship
The rust started to break her down as well as the tiny corals and stuff eating her away, then the waves pushed on her which let more tiny sea creatures in her and finally....the entire stern broke apart and went to the bottom of the shallow ocean. The bow rested above the ocean until it got more and more to the portside, the rust broke the decks apart and let boat deck, A deck and B deck to collapse in the ocean, the remaining structure rolled over and collapsed and left the bow....that's all I know

It's amazing and haunting how a huge, luxurious and beautiful structure can become a pile of metal and rubble in days, weeks, months and years
It certainly was incredible how a huge ship became a pile of rusted metal over time. I have a few bits from the ship and you can still find items from the ship all over the place.
There’s still quite a bit down there! At least the old ship now belongs to the ocean for eternity.
That an intact ocean liner was broken up and scattered so quickly by the sheer force of the waves alone is humbling. You'd think she'd been dynamited... Incredible dive though. Suprised it's not a more popular site
Si creemos y hemos escuchado que los militares lo dinamitaron para que no entrase mas gente ya que se perdieron vidas
thats because the ship wasn't maintained very well
as it was destroyed by the rough waves when it ran aground
@@danielseguradiaz313 Solo dinamitaron la parte baja para que no flote, ya que en un momento la proa empezó a flotar y temían que pueda causar más problemas. Es ahí cuando apareció ese gran agujero cuadrado en la parte baja cercana a la quilla, que pudo verse por varios años.
Or destroyed by torpedo attack ...

I still find it so spooky how the ocean completely devoured this ship in about 15 years.
The ship was rusty before it ran aground
@@Doman9191 that was not the reason. She collapsed because of how violent it was over there the waves slamming against her weakened her steel over time

@@torsten1125there is also surprising amount left below the surface too! Wasn’t expecting that.

A fitting end for America's greatest passenger vessel. A showcase of American engineering. Destroyed only by the ocean, not men.
In philadelphia... remains her legacy
Wow, thank you for posting. I built a model of this ship out of toothpicks. It is interesting to see it as it looks today.
Is there a way to see it? I have made a model of the wreck out of cardstock. I am thinking about making the stern wreckage.
The stern collapsed so that would be had
Why... Why... Why would you pick this song??
i agree why
its just a fucking song stop being a fucking idiot
I agree it's just a song

It's a good song
I spent so long finding this video again as I lost it, thank goodness it showed up in my reccomended
Greetings from Germany to the old sea fighter American Star!!!!!
This is a proof that the some parts of the ship's hull are almost intact. They,re just under the water
Also, this is the only man that has visited the wreck
@Seth Stafford k
THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ALONG TO SEE HER REMAINES.💋

Aquí se ve el barco desde vista aérea y se ve el naufragio ruclips.net/video/uaaPM5CYhTI/видео.html
The debris field must be huge. Would be cool to film it downward from just below the surface slowly passing it.
she's completely unreconizable...
Confused. It’s completely under water now?
The whole thing went under in 2016,17 or 18 I'm pretty sure
Si
Jar jar, it was hit with the ban hammer
Lol
She's completely destroyed .
She's in pieces & in peace now , scattered at the bottom of the waves
She was the troop carrier USS Westpoint during World War II.
The last remains are here .
But lot of parts are stolen by locals .
There are a whole bunch of them, in a bar, on the main island.

@@RedImposterCrewmate what do you mean by that?
Amazing. got through wikipedia.
Dislike for garbage music, but good footage
Mute the sound and sing your own song since you sing so much better.
John Doe or it could be that there is a very small group of people who are interested in both old cruise ships and modern rap.
Arty Ivanenko it’s an ocean liner
The song is good maybe unsuitable for the ship but its good not awesome but good song
@@JohnDoe-bf1fw Ok boomer.
Great video but why choose this song
I’m absolutely terrified not just because of the song but because of my submechaphobia
Está todo así en pedazos repartidos por el fondo del mar? Y que fue de la popa, dónde se encuentra hundida y en qué estado estará? La proa quedó destrozada por completo por lo que veo pues que pena pensaba que estarían intactos sus camarotes y grandes salones bajo el agua, lo que si tengo curiosidad es por saber dónde está la popa
la popa cayó hace varios años antes que la proa, aun queda algo de la popa pero la mayoría está bajo la arena
Genial video
Nva seen the rest of it underwater since it basically rotted. How deep is the stern in the ocean? Actually alot of ship is still underwater. Thought it might be a few pieces, can still see the bow
They should preserve the wreck
neil angelo cruz I don’t think that’s practical
@@thesparduck117 ok but did the locals save some relics?
There's literally nothing left to save.

@@unknownuser8228 They did save several items. There's a bar in Puerto del Rosario that has doors and windows from the ship.
i AM GUTTED TO SEE A BIG SHIP JUST DESTROYED BY THE OCEAN SORRY ALL CAPS
Wheres the funnel 🤔
Where do you think. It is apart of the metal down there.
Probably barely recognizable if it still exists.
My funnel collapse

Yes
Old town road
crap music why This was cool until the music
Cool Wreck but music has to be different. Don’t hate it but saying it could be different cuz of the topic a ship wreck. so sad music?
Did you found my funnel wreck
It’s so sad that it is now only scraps of a once beautiful ship used in WW2.. Makes me sad and yea wrong song for this video..
Le pauvre paquebot, mais j’avoue que j’aurais préféré cette fin aussi aux France
3:16 Is this the ship's engine?
I hate this song but this video is amazing
What happened to the Stern section
destroy by big wave but the bow is now destroy by waves
The rust started to break her down as well as the tiny corals and stuff eating her away, then the waves pushed on her which let more tiny sea creatures in her and finally....the entire stern broke apart and went to the bottom of the shallow ocean.

Que es la popa o lo que queda de la proa?
Proa
@@danielseguradiaz313 gracias or la informacion tengo pensado ir :3
What happend to the sturn
Stern it might deteriorate
The stern of the ship fell off very close to when it first hit the shores in 1994, so it probably rotted away by now.
The Stern collapsed under water in 1996 i think.
