I'm a first-year archaeology student and I'm thinking of specializing in Maritime/Underwater Archaeology. Just the potential of finding shipwrecks which can cast a light into the lives of people of the past is simply extraordinary. I don't want to only be a fancy "treasurer hunter", only looking for valuable remains and ignoring all else. I wanna learn about the people who travelled on those ships (sailors, travelers, etc.), who they were, who are their living relatives, and how we can honor their names. Places like Magdalen deserve more recognition and research, we need more underwater archaeologists out there finding the secrets of our wide oceans and seas.
The danger would be in the diving. Archeology is where you find it.. Sometimes it is under this sea, Or where the sea has reclaimed. At other times it may be just under the grass, Out of sight and out of mind for centuries! It is doubtless there are few places on this planet where mankind has never set foot. Is anywhere else, Archaeology is possible. There are fossilized ancient footprints on the shore of a lake in Washington State that are millions of years old. All you need to do is rinse away a bit of sand, And it is plainly visible. In other places, Dinosaur eggs can be found in the reservoirs underneath the water, Some of them with petrified juvenile dinosaurs in them! In the vast majority of Europe, There were 2 world wars fought, And that was just the 20th century! Many more were fought over the centuries previous. My advice would be to include some engineering in your education, so that you can operate, or create remote operated vehicles for the aquatic aspects. They dive deeper and I've never heard of an ROV operator getting "the bends"( Unless it was from sea sickness, and it was over the side of the boat..?).
This exploration into the Magdalen Islands' sunken ships is not just about uncovering the past; it's about reclaiming a piece of identity for the descendants. Each shipwreck has a story that's a part of their lineage.
I've always loved history. I have hard time reading it now. Cancer took my right eye and left isn't able to stay on stuff enough to read. 😢 History of why there's wrecks, is as important as seeing the wrecks themselves.
The sand bars and the beach are The land is so low to the water, I can just imagine them only being briefly visible during a storm... WICKED DANGEROUS!!
He looks like George Clooney in some of his photos 💭🤔 Wouldn't it be wonderful to re-establish the walrus on the island . Start small. Being in a few at a time and release them and keep doing it until they start to stick around again. That would be priceless
Since when was it considered "law" to tell a group of strangers about what you found in the sea? The last 75 years? The last 100 years? What did the people in the 19th century do when they stumbled across treasure in the sea in form of a long forgotten ship wreck? They certainly didn't report it to some organization or corporation, I can tell you that. Were the ship wreck finders of the 19th century and prior more free to keep what they found? If so the question would be why?
stuff you find in a shipwreck gets taxed too. you report it so the king doesn't torture you and throw you in prison when the tax collectors come by and find the stuff in your shack.
Wrong name for this documentary. The only exploration of shipwrecks is towards the end and it's very sparse. It's mostly just a history lesson on the region. Very disappointed as I thought the whole documentary would be exploring shipwrecks, not long drawn out stories.
I like the part where they show shipwrecks and the history behind them. 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😄😅😆 That was hard to type with a straight face. Sure glad I know about this guy that everyone on the island knows. #worstDocumentary

What a beautiful and contemplative documentary. I hope these islanders continue to pass on their history and stories.

Amazing! Here I am living in Canada most of my life without ever hearing about the Magdelan Islands or all the shipwrecks.
Thank you Leonard. This was fascinating.
I find this whole story Fascinating..😊
Absolutely fascinating documentary - as much as the Graveyard of the Pacific (shipwrecks of the Columbia River Bar of Washington/Oregon).
I've always loved history. I have hard time reading it now. Cancer took my right eye and left isn't able to stay on stuff enough to read. 😢
History of why there's wrecks, is as important as seeing the wrecks themselves.
Amazingly beautiful and haunting documentary told with heart and soul.
🎶 I am an island boyyyy 🎶
I live on an island. 🏝️
The sand bars and the beach are The land is so low to the water, I can just imagine them only being briefly visible during a storm... WICKED DANGEROUS!!
Should be called the history of Lennard
Interesting video ❤❤😊

It's considered law when the government tells you it's law
I wouldnt tell anyone if I found treasure.
Another shipwreck documentary with 10 minutes of actual shipwreck footage.
Just couldn't make it through the day without being pessimistic/cynical huh 😂😂😂😂
Which one?
@@CaptainAMAZINGGG yes!😁
Are you a scuba diver bro?

You know I think I once did a PowerPoint presentation with more excitement and life to it then this documentary
How old is this?
If only you had a computer and access to the internet.
@@AnnaAnna-uc2ff No need to be a condescending loser, who was this even for? Are you proud of this? 🙄
@@OpinionatedChicken59 No. I don't really care about you.

Life is full of phenomenon and circumstances.
Only God knows what actually happened.
Respect for our modern scientist's!

lmfao im at 36:50 right now and im still waiting for leonard to be actually shown and introduced but thanks to you i know now to just give up.
Boo
ok
Who wants to read half a video???
Too French for me
A white girl of pure white race heritage and seafaring ancestry? Yes please.
Okay Nazi. Couldn't just enjoy a history documentary without being a complete weirdo
First here
I think if a guy released his semen in the ocean and it landed on fish eggs that's where mermaids come from
Les iles de la Madeleine!
19:05 hmm
