Fascinating story. How do 3 guys handle a boat like that? I'm proud to single hand my little 33 foot sailboat with all the modern winches and electronics. Obviously I have a lot to learn!
This is the tale of the Mary Celeste, who sailed east but was found drifting west. The boat happened upon whole, but on board was no soul, for they had mysteriously found their eternal rest… ( I just made that up!!) Awesome tale!!! thanks!!
Living on my boat, I was given a bunch of books once by the new owner of a boat near me cleaning it out. One of the books was about James Cochrane. I honestly was fascinated and amazed by the feats of what i consider the greatest navigator to ever sail the high seas. In one battle off the coast of Brazil it is reported against a superior vessel James ordered all the guns to stop firing as to clear the smoke, he then aimed and with a single cannon shot took out the main mast and disabled the enemy vessel. This is one of thousands of stories this man has. He is one of my favorite hero's in history and a sailing legend.
I would like to hear about the sinking of the New England whaling ship the Essex. Love your channel, it's so entertaining and a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Good morning. I live in Costa Rica and lunch time gets pretty warm, so it’s inside out of the heat to watch a few videos. 0:06 Just finished watching your video of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Mary Celeste. Well done. I do follow you on the Lady K sailing for awhile. Very informative I just turned 65 and you got me thinking of do some sailing Keep up the great work. Stay Frosty. Tùbo
Wow! I didn't even know half of that, and I vaguely recall reading about the Mary Celeste sometime around when the Goonies was released. Very well done Tim - good research & storytelling, pace is perfect. Can't imagine 3 men handling that much canvas on their own, that's pretty damn impressive! You did say "pumps turned on", but surely they were manual pumps, right? Not bad, nearly a 100% views/subscribers already! Too bad only 17% can figure out the LIKE button and even fewer leave a comment.
Hiya man, I'm really enjoying your channel, you have a way of telling these stories that make them compelling, I was wondering if you could cover "The Birkenhead Drill" as I'm from Birkenhead and still live here, as always Bravo!
I don't know if this is meant to be the same ship (Mary Celeste vs. Marie Celeste) but I believe this is mentioned in the Al Stewart song "Life in Dark Water". "And now the name of the ship's not the same. How long has it been Marie Celeste". Keep up the great work Tim. I'm going to tell my brother about your channel as he is a marine history buff.
Congrats on the new channel…great start on the subs. Lots you can do with this topic: naval sea battles (current and ancient), seaports around the world, famous sailors, captains and builders, the navy as a means of conquest and empire building, innovations in boats and equipment that changed history, myths and legends, etc.
Another great story. This channel is going to be a hit among the sailing community for sure. •As for ideas… how about the Urca de Lima and the 1715 treasure fleet. Or could even do the entire treasure fleet system. There are numerous wrecks that have been found and many more that are still out there, just waiting to make those bold enough to find them wealthy beyond their wildest dreams. 😳 🤑 •Or there’s Columbus and the 1492 voyage. There’s a ton of misunderstandings out there. From how he even became able to make the trip and where he landed/never landed, all the way to which country has his bones and why there’s confusion about it.
Thinking I would like to find out more about the politics behind piracy. Like the Jacobite movement. Or how terrible some sailors were treated almost justifiable for folks to turn around and attack the same captains as pirates
I loved all the art work! Realizing you can’t show the same thing over and over, it was fun to try and identify the type of ships depicted! So… how about a piece on Sir Thomas Lipton and his quest for the America’s Cup?
I've just discovered your channel. The building of the Erie Canal and the various ship histories are very interesting. You are a good story teller. Thank you
You Would have thought it would have been left drifting under Bare poles, lying a hull to prevent the boat from taking off. One of those mysteries that can never be solved.
When the Mary Celest left New York with the captains family she headed due EAST not west @19:40. 'They got the pumps turned on' @26:30... No they pumped the holds. Pirates, were 100 years before not after the Mary Celest. The Mary Celest was a sailing ship so she did NOT go 'full steam' anywhere.
Nice work on this. I do have to say that the Carroll A. Deering seems as big a mystery as the Mary Celeste. I'd love to know what really happened with both those ships.
Tim you are a natural storyteller and could be a TV personality if you choose there is so much you can do with this channel and I still love Lady k Sailing. Best to you
This might me a little off. How about the Mayflower, not many people talk about the ship its self or sailing it? My other would be similar but columbus's ships and the voyage?
Not a sailor here: if the MC's crew evacuated to the lifeboat to wait for the holds to vent alcohol fumes, is there a particular nautical reason why they would leave some of the sails still up? Or am I overthinking it, and they were just in so much of a hurry to GTFO before something exploded that rolling up the sails were simply one of many chores they ditched?
It's been my experience that real, verifiable history can be far stranger than a lot of fiction. Coincidences that a competent author would consider too convenient to write down, characters so over-the-top an editor would demand a revision... real life is so damn improbable! The story of this ship definitely epitomizes that.
So if the Mary Celeste crew were in a life boat tied to the stern of the ship, and had to cut the line then there should have been the rest of the line still tied to the ship when they found it.
Good evening! I love your content and I’ve been watching you for awhile! I’ve few questions and seeking for an advice about a good loan broker and insurance broker. Is it possible to get in touch with you?
Good story. Just keep making vids like this and Lady K sailing will get passed with subscribers. If I had $$, I'd love to be a Patreon and help you. Maybe some day, my friend.🤞

A telling of the sinking of the Andrea Doria would make a good video. I read a book about this years ago.
This is the tale of the Mary Celeste, who sailed east but was found drifting west.
The boat happened upon whole, but on board was no soul, for they had mysteriously found their eternal rest… ( I just made that up!!)

definitely keep going with the crew stories like this of the captain taking the ship where he wasn't suppose to.

Thanks so much Mike!! Yes manual pumps. Channel is growing and it's so good to see. Now for the next video :)

Yes, a common mistake. Two different ships.
Good Yarn Tim. I knew about the abandonment and theory as to why, but I did not know a lot of the rest of the strange story.
Congrats on the new channel…great start on the subs.

Thanks. Appreciate Lady K and Hisorsea both!
Thank you!
Good episode. Most info I've ever seen on her. Strange history of twists and turns.
You keep hitting them out of the park! Thank you
17:20 Benjamin Spooner Briggs’ ancestors came over on the Mainflower? Or was it the Mayflower?
Once again, another great video, Tim, thank you for your hard work, your story telling is superb.
Thinking I would like to find out more about the politics behind piracy. Like the Jacobite movement. Or how terrible some sailors were treated almost justifiable for folks to turn around and attack the same captains as pirates
Well done presentation. Impressive for a smaller operation.
Personal preference: less famous stories.
26:30
I loved all the art work! Realizing you can’t show the same thing over and over, it was fun to try and identify the type of ships depicted!
So… how about a piece on Sir Thomas Lipton and his quest for the America’s Cup?
You keep covering the classic's very cool
Really interesting! Thanks!
I've just discovered your channel. The building of the Erie Canal and the various ship histories are very interesting. You are a good story teller. Thank you
How about doing a video about steamboats on the Hudson River?Or the Liberty ships of WWII
Or the great 19th century clipper ships
Another great episode!
Great video!⚓️ Thanks for sharing!
great story telling
The story of the Cyclops would be interesting. Also three of her sister ships disappeard without a trace.
Love your story telling thanks for sharing!!
It’s a little difficult in a 2 master to get to Italy from NY city- going WEST! Otherwise, well done! Thank you.
Thought same. Couple direction errors here. Love the content though.
This is the second video i have seen where you confused east and west.
the other was about the Erie Canal.
Keep it up dude, I'm enjoying your channel.
Awesome channel! I went thru all your videos and can't wait for the next one. You are a great story teller.
9:12 love the channel My man, this is my home towns ahHah
Thank you have never heard the whole saga before . Keen for more like this . Cheers .
A good story. Thanks!
Just subbed..I love a good story without too much theatrics.
Very interesting.... just subscribed
An amazing story
You Would have thought it would have been left drifting under Bare poles, lying a hull to prevent the boat from taking off. One of those mysteries that can never be solved.
I have watched so much on this and never heard this entire story Great video! AGAIN :)
When the Mary Celest left New York with the captains family she headed due EAST not west @19:40. 'They got the pumps turned on' @26:30... No they pumped the holds. Pirates, were 100 years before not after the Mary Celest. The Mary Celest was a sailing ship so she did NOT go 'full steam' anywhere.

Tim you are a natural storyteller and could be a TV personality if you choose there is so much you can do with this channel and I still love Lady k Sailing. Best to you
Interesting and well researched. I'll be back for more!
This might me a little off. How about the Mayflower, not many people talk about the ship its self or sailing it? My other would be similar but columbus's ships and the voyage?
Great new channel
Not a sailor here: if the MC's crew evacuated to the lifeboat to wait for the holds to vent alcohol fumes, is there a particular nautical reason why they would leave some of the sails still up?
Or am I overthinking it, and they were just in so much of a hurry to GTFO before something exploded that rolling up the sails were simply one of many chores they ditched?
Wow, interesting story
All I can do is hit the like and comment. Still in the mystery of the story.
Wow, I had no idea how much of a wild west shipping during this era was.
Joshua Slocum's story would be great for this new channel.🤔👍
Love the new RUclips!
Due west for Italy? East!
Amazing story telling though
It's been my experience that real, verifiable history can be far stranger than a lot of fiction. Coincidences that a competent author would consider too convenient to write down, characters so over-the-top an editor would demand a revision... real life is so damn improbable! The story of this ship definitely epitomizes that.
Briggs family came to America on the "Mainflower"?
The ships of the ancient world, Greece, Rome, Egypt, Vikings, etc, would be interesting. Ancient Chinese vessels were pretty cool too.
Here I am thinking “how will I sleep tonight without a frightening bedtime story?” Then I end up here.
Sailed to East from Staten Island to Italy
Yes good story
The history of pleasure cruising the Bahamas and other islands?
Seemed like an abrupt ending but thoroughly entertaining nonetheless espec since I had never heard or her
So if the Mary Celeste crew were in a life boat tied to the stern of the ship, and had to cut the line then there should have been the rest of the line still tied to the ship when they found it.
Celeste you see, the better!
Weren’t some of the oak casks made from red oak instead of white oak? Red oak is porous and would have leaked into the bilge.
What was the ship floating around the arctic for like 40 or 50 years ?
What happened to the family or did I miss that bit?
Due east for Italy. Nit west.

The mermaids got them! 🧜♂⛵🧜🧜♀
The so popular gunilda would be interesting
like this more ship mysteries / wrecks
Liking your style of story telling. But is she a ship or boat?
Too many use them interchangably
Mainflower?
we have a cat named Winchester
Less bad luck and more cumulative karma.
Meep the beep
