I subscribed to his channel, I’ve looked for it before but he didn’t have one then. I was really shocked that you knew the guy, who we now know is Chris. I’m as happy as can be watching his channel, now that’s one heck of a boat, a real gem, anywhere you look is awesome!
I took a ride today to check out the ship it is sitting in the mud. Water lever is above the small side windows. Road was closed. Couldn’t get on the levy to take any photos. Would talk a lot of $$$$$$$ for the ship to ever become a museum.
Only kidding really enjoyed this, hope our American friends could understand the accent, I grew up in Bootle as a youngster and then moved to Northern Ireland when I was ten, never lost the accent 🤣 so many of our American friends, said they just nodded as if they understood me when they first met me when I was chatting with them 🤣
The "top deck" above the wheelhouse is called the monkey island. Up there you will find the signal halyards and the ship's magnetic compass binnacle or at least you would have in service.
Ha! What a sojourn during May 1966 from Hamburg to Helgoland (the standard daily route of “Wappen von Hamburg” during her HADAG service) to spend a few days in splendid isolation with my bride Heidi, occasionally visiting the nudist colony on a sandbank-dune off this prior-1890 British Colony in the German Bight (better called a Britsh shipping “observation post”, which, needless to say, they unsuccessfully attempted to blow out of the water during and after WW2, subsequent to it serving as German FLAK/anti-aircraft battery smack in the centre of the more important approaches to German North Sea ports.) That was subject of a museum-sight-seeing-walk about the island during our stay. At the time the “Wappen von Hamburg” was but 11 years in service, spik-and-span in appearance and quality workmanship . Thanks for restoring the ‘Old Lady’ to her old glory; she was built at the site where now Airbusses take to the skies after assembly.
6:30 Crikey - getting flashbacks to when we visited some of the gigantic oil-tankers moored up in the Fal estuary, in Cornwall, during the 1970's oil crisis. Each one had a couple of people on-board (I think) as caretakers/custodians, but they used to hold some wild parties (allegedly). We went round one time in the afternoon with torches/flashlights, because they certainly didn't have many lights, especially not during daytime. Very, very spooky. But - what a project, thanks for sharing it with us.
Hello. It has to happen... Instado of restoring signal horas and windlasses you have to start in the engineroom checking sea intakes, strainers and overboard descarga valves!!! What shame with such an unique vessel. My father , RIP, has been 2nd and chiefmate on her when she traded as Wappen von Hamburg in the Hamburg to Helgoland run in the mid fifties. BR Jürgen
Great video....until the end!! That was not fair🤣🤣🤣 I have subscribed to Chris's channel so hopefully soon the mystery is solved for all of us. I live in the USA, but in the state of Michigan so the Aurora is way across on the other side of the country from me.
New owner is most likely going to be receiving a huge bill from the salvage company. Can he pay it. If not she is probably going to be sold for scrap metal.
Diesel Electric Power, all in all the ship is in pretty good shape lots of up grade needed in engine room and bridge complete overhaul in the electronics.
You know what Jemma I could NEVER own a project like that !! I would be like a pea in a tin can wanting to get EVERYTHING RUNNING TODAY !! ( ie engine room as I love tinkering with stuff ) So much so I would spend a load of time and money getting it running ... and THEN finding a stonking big hole in the side !! Priorities have NEVER been my strong suit !! LOL
I was looking at some periscope films the other day and came across the Elko boats from World War II it shows construction of the PT boat And it reminded me of you boat it’s worth having a look very interesting
That's really funny 😂! Britts associating serial killers with America when Britain was the home of Jack the ripper! I think we all get such funny impressions of places outside of our own little bit of the world.
Oh no you didn't, yea ya did dang it, what's one them good British words for what you just did to us? So let's us know what was in it for those of us that will get list looking for the link!
Well done with the build up and then leaving us on a cliff hanger. Really great way to drive traffic over to the Aurora's channel.
Right! Were you able to find the rest of the video so we’ll see what’s behind that dang blasted door????
Best cliffhanger on youtube. You should work for hollywood.
Now that would make a good Go-Fund-Me project
A cliffhanger episode! well played, Gemma.
OMG at these vintage AEG switchgear cabinets. This alone is a marvelous piece of history.
great video jemma iwas in the merchant navy for 41 years these old ships still fasinate me
OH COME ON!! We are all curious to know what's in that room!!!!
Oh you are not going to keep us in suspenders about the door!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO! Hahah 😃😃😃😃

That was a great ending, well done Gemma!
Thank you from KNIGHTS SHIPS Luxury & wealthy lifestyle very amazing video Good news to you
Wow what a ship, she's going to be a stunner when completed. I don't like the cliff hanger ending though, lol

Wow!! Very cool tour. 😎!!! (I know what's going on in "The Room!"......)
😆.. A lot of history on this ship!
Thanks for sharing, great video`s.
Gemma, you have to leave us on a cliifhanger. I'm dying to know what is in there.
Wow!! I loved the end..😲
I wish you were closer to me I’d be out there helping you whenever I could!
What a beautiful looking ship. No wonder you want to restore her. Well done Man.

At about 10:00 - I genuinely thought that was a painting at first, before I realised it was a window...that view is incredible!
Amazing sunset 🌇
oooh ya little scamp! what a cliffhanger! lol😆
FYI the Aurora sank at her mooring the other day. She'd been sold not long ago.
I wonder if Chris was going to tell everybody if she had not sunk.
@@kitt2000car Chris had sold her already but you'd think he would've announced that as well on his channel.
@@rosschamberlain1823 Yes do not understand all the secrecy. Unless the new owner wanted it that way.
@@kitt2000car Could be.
Beautiful vessel. Keep up the good work.
I could wake up to that view through my port hole. Chris has some work ahead. WOW what a ship. 2x 👍
Leave history to the history books. Let the old girl enjoy her new life in peace, NO GUN MOUNTS,
I thoroughly enjoy your Friday videos a No 1 fan

Wow that view from the top deck downward is the first time I’ve seen the full ship-iness scale of that ship.
you guys are the best.adventurous.i think i would like to give that a try myself.nothin but love you two!!
good one Gemma!
Thank you! 😃
14:58 Hey Gemma I can see you getting excited about those stringers hahah… you wouldn’t want to replace those buggers … imagine roving them? Haha 😂
Great video....until the end!! That was not fair🤣🤣🤣 I have subscribed to Chris's channel so hopefully soon the mystery is solved for all of us. I live in the USA, but in the state of Michigan so the Aurora is way across on the other side of the country from me.
Chris should b&b some rooms while renovating the ship.
Love it keep the blogs coming👍👍👍👍👍👍
It’s sad that it sunk hope it can be re floated

Ship happens is an appropriate name. This ship sank.
Can you explain how many rooms are there and how wide high long cheers
Wow tease city 😍
Any of the rust remover sprays will remove the rust staining on the engine room control room cabinets, it will be well worth doing
Don't get carried away, you have enough on your plate at the moment 🤣🤣🤣
Christopher definitely has his work cut out for him god bless stay safe 🙏
Yup, I am thinking min. 5 mil. and a crew of 15, + 3-4 years.
Sorry Guys but the German Worksafety is gone missing extremly. If you go up more than 2meter please get a Safetybelt and a Safetyline on
You know what Jemma
I could NEVER own a project like that !!
I would be like a pea in a tin can wanting to get EVERYTHING RUNNING TODAY !! ( ie engine room as I love tinkering with stuff )
So much so I would spend a load of time and money getting it running ... and THEN finding a stonking big hole in the side !!
Priorities have NEVER been my strong suit !! LOL
How could you!! 😱😱
Boat work takes three or four times what you think. I think you are doing superb.How about checking with Madusa or any of the other ones still a live.
I was looking at some periscope films the other day and came across the Elko boats from World War II it shows construction of the PT boat And it reminded me of you boat it’s worth having a look very interesting
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
Yeah it's really really cool and it all needs to be ripped out and replaced with modern equipment.
It would make a great fixer upper
it would take a shipyard years to refurb that ship, lord knows how he is going to do it.
How does one eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
Hello from Ohio. Did that ship come with a manual? Is it in German?
Quick start guide. One page, ten languages. 🤣. It all works on one usb cable. 😄
@@CharlesLangSamuel Thanks
oh Gemma, you are naughty for that clickbait ending! -anyway, great episode and really don't even care what's behind that door!
I like the ship how it is I don’t think you need to update. I just think clean it up but it’s a really nice ship.
Tak!
Thank you so much xx
So what's the plan for when you finish the ship? Charter? Live aboard? Both? Really cool project!
he sold it and it sunk...
Next time Gemma comes to America she’s gonna pack a suitcase with paintbrushes. Gemma’s going to paint the bilges!
Simons done some amount of work on Sarinda by the looks of that picture since you've been away 🤣
That's really funny 😂! Britts associating serial killers with America when Britain was the home of Jack the ripper! I think we all get such funny impressions of places outside of our own little bit of the world.
Aaah the suspense - so mean to end like that :-( Does Chris live on board in the Captains cabin????)
well, sadly it is over, she has sunk and most certainly will be scrapped....😭
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh really. That’s biggest cliff hanger ever. I’m wishing my life away right now. 😅😅😅😅
It's a good thing that ship has Mercedes engines; back in the 1940's, some Germans did an excellent job of building engines.
Damn I wanted to see the galley...
CLIFFHANGER !!!!
Oh NO! a cliffhanger.....
Yeah not fair was it..left us on a coathanger
😍🤩🥰
👍 👍 👍!!!
**COME BACK IN 4 YEARS??? = TRY 40!!!** LOLOLOLOLOL
Don't paint don't vinyl call rhinoshield
That’s an awesome ship but why aren’t you working on your own boat ????
She's got a boat too. In a swamp.
I actually watched the other episode this morning so I know the room is empty
what's behind the door? I went over to his channel couldn't find it lol
ruclips.net/video/zA5qL63TEn0/видео.html
You may want to let some paranormal investigators do an investigation of the ship to see if it has any passengers from previous cruises still aboard 😉
8:57 carpet already fucked lol going to be a losing battle
Let me guess, Al Capone's vault?
Ship is now sunk. I guess he gave up on it.
The ship sank
moorings must cost a lot
Oh no you didn't, yea ya did dang it, what's one them good British words for what you just did to us? So let's us know what was in it for those of us that will get list looking for the link!
ruclips.net/video/zA5qL63TEn0/видео.html
Serial killers are common in the USA. But I'm surprised a European even knows the word.
👍⚓
Pull your finger out we’re is 85
3 mins, our videos always come out at 4pm on Fridays!
Bet it was full of click bait ;-)
Its just sank. Not great news
None of the cabins will be original so why not decorate some of the cabins in today's style and keep others in 1960s style?
Pretty cool and all but this ship will never sail again its millions in repairs honestly not worth it.
