    Having grown up in Fall River, MA, I have been very interested in the local history here. I just learned from this video about the remains of the steamer Mount Hope still in existence. Almost every book written about the Fall River Line mentions the Mount Hope, and how much it was loved by the locals. Thank you for teaching me something new. 😊

      I remember year ago, listening to BZ as they gave there traffic reports of the Mount Hope Bridge, one time on my way back from the casino, I got to a detour, ended up going over that bridge, well there was an accident in front of us, I sat on its peak for some time. Two narrow lanes , very high and steep, so the ships could past under. Freaky!

    Great video! Loved it and subbed! One small insignificant point: these aren’t shipwrecks. They didn’t run aground and wreck themselves on a foggy night when the captain & mate were both drunk. In maritime parlance they’re called derelicts because they were abandoned to rot.
