Leaving the Terminal 10 5 13

The lines are cast off as the last crew members board the ship for a Living History Cruise. As the tugs turn the ship loose, the Captain gives the First Bells to the Engine Room, the prop begins to turn, and the 71 year old ship comes to life again.

I was on board the John W. Brown on the date, Oct 5, 2013, when you filmed this. Thanks for the exterior shots and for sharing!

[@dwightarnold6980]

WAL! SO WAS I! WENT TO THE FRANCIS SCOTT BRIDGE AND BACK! THE TUG BOAT CAPTAINS WERE AWESOME 👌

[@gordonquickstad]

"SS John W. Brown is a Liberty ship, one of two still operational and one of three preserved as museum ships. As a Liberty ship, she operated as a merchant ship of the United States Merchant Marine during World War II and later was a vocational high school training ship in New York City for many years."

[@jamesshunt5123]

These Liberty ships really are the unsung heroes which won the Battle of the Atlantic in WWII. At peak more tonnage was being produced than all the German submarines could sink. Despite the German submarines being by far their most efficient weapon (both in WWI and WWII) they still couldn't win. People always talk about amazing fighter planes, bombers, battleships and tanks but forget (or are oblivious to) that without an intact chain of logistics no war can be won - certainly not a long one of attrition...
Fact is maybe the Germans should have considered this once they ventured into the vastness of Russia and the Atlantic ocean...

[@teonguyen6646]

Yes, i will definitely love this ship.

[@dillon562]

Ah the fantail. Great place to gather and light things

[@howardbonner4108]

Thanks

[@Local-Of-The-Mitten-State]

That ship is like a time capsule. It’s still sailing like it’s leaving on a trip in ww2

[@lisab3396]

Very Nice. Seems light in the water and propeller cavitating a lot ?

[@roberthindle5146]

About the most overspecced Nutribullet I've ever seen.

[@coraagullo2601]

That was Awesome

[@pallabgolui1304]

Thanks...

[@cds957]

Why is the prop so far out of the water?

[@TooManyNamesIdcAnymore]

2:14 me when I see a big object moving under my feet at the beach while I'm swimming.

[@PlatinumEagleStudios]

They sing on the ship. Nice.

[@glennchampion1001]

about where would she be sitting if she had cargo onboard

[@sailorman9595]

They sail the vessel without the correct ballasting before leaving the port.

[@robertrall9966]

I went to school on that ship in the early 70s

[@RailroadGuy49]

I did too in the 60’s. Originally pier 73 at the foot of 25th st in the east river, then I be was on the Brown when they moved the Brown to pier 42 on the Hudson River, at Morton St. Neither of those piers even exist anymore. And back then there were no guns in the gun tubs like she had in this video (apparently they were added later), and her hull was black with a white superstructure.

[@captaingordon]

That would be terrifying to serve on during the war.

[@jamesshunt5123]

I'd prefer to serve on this than to serve on a submarine during the war. Being depth shelled while being inside a cramped metal hull sure must be terrifying. If a ship sinks, there is always the chance to survive by going into the lifeboat. If a sub sinks while being submerged...

[@quillmaurer6563]

Would be interesting to compare the relative safety of various roles in the war, as well as comfort. I would imagine this to be probably safer and more comfortable than most combat roles such as infantry, tank, or airborne. But perhaps more dangerous than being on a Navy ship - those were much better protected and armored, but they did go out looking for trouble (seeking enemy ships and submarines to engage with rather than trying to avoid them). Obviously the safest place to be would be on US soil, but I could imagine even some people who never left US ground also died - factory workers and shipbuilders in the frantic production, and a lot of airmen died in training accidents - being a pilot instructor was probably not a particularly safe role either.

[@akoll6138]

I’m actually on the Brown right now for a Seamanship training. The entire ship was being manned by a big batch of Sea Cadets.

[@wellthen6177]

How did that go?

[@picklepee2771]

Sounds like every ship in ww2

[@derekheuring2984]

Unfortunately you have to go to Baltimore to see it.

[@simonrussell6884]

[@semajniffirg230]

They should load some ballast on her for these cruises or something lol

[@DanielChannel57]

2:53 Whistle blows.

[@MrCaptainDietrich]

is this ship still doing day cruises in 2021

[@ssjohnwbrown4830]

No, the Cruise Maryland Terminal is closed and we made the difficult decision to cancel our only cruise in 2021. Check our website for updates. www.ssjohnwbrown.org

[@leslierhodes5467]

Is it me or is it a little bit high out of the water

[@yeboiCris]

She's not carrying any Cargo/Freight, It's normal.

[@Ibrahim-yu7xg]

Keşke iç motorunu a cekselerdi görseydik motoru devasaldir

[@henrikarvidsson]

After working as a captain Im surprised her prop is so high up out of the water

[@justanotheraviator2357]

Its supposed to be a cargo ship

[@lewisbradford3305]

I would imagine it's because the ship is empty

[@kazihasanshah7906]

See From Bangladesh

[@HighAway]

she's light.

[@HiddenFactsExplorer]
