FYI, the biggest reason to recover metals from sunken wrecks is not commonly known. But any metal refined before 1944 is highly prized for scientific purposes, because before that year all metal alloys were not exposed to nuclear radiation from atomic tests/bombs. So yes even today, everything on Earth still shows some contamination, though minor, from use and tests of nuclear bombs.
@mrorangepeel659 "Background Free" metals are valuable in extremely sensitive medical and scientific equipment where even the slightest trace of radioactivity can have an undesirable effect
Its more evidence of the reason old ships are being ravaged for there steel. That the real cause of global warming has been the 200 nuclear testing, explosions, accidents since the 1940s, its not just down to fossil fuels
The wreck of the German Battleship Bismark and a number of submarines have been found that are as deep as these wrecks, plus a number of U.S. and Japanese air craft carriers. These wrecks should be included.
The USS Scorpion went down some 300 miles SW of the Azores. And that's extremely deep water there too. So deep it took nearly a year of searching for any trace of the sub to be found.
This list is inaccurate. Off the top of my head, it is missing the Bismarck at 4,572 meters, the Yorktown at 5,075 meters, and probably others. Terrible research skills.
@Top_Jimmy I read it. Still doesn't change the fact that these are still 7 of the deepest shipwrecks in recorded history. All of you bring mad because they left out a few is dumb. They can literally make more videos and add more and more as they go along.
@@arielx31 The 7 "Deepest" means just that. If you are going to say "The 7 Deepest" then that is what should be included, no more no less. This is not the first time this channel has made such inaccurate statements.
@Top_Jimmy I mean they ARE some of the deepest lmao. It's not a lie. And I'm not do damn nitpicky over titles like you. I just watch videos and enjoy it. It's still putting info out there.
Here are a few ships you skipped over: USS Yorktown (CV-5 at ~16,650 ft); IJN Kaga (~17,000 ft); IJN Akagi (~18,011 ft); and as others have already mentioned, the DKM Bismarck (~15,715 ft). I'm sure there are more but I'll leave it at these. This is still a good video, thank you for posting.
While the description clears things up, the title is misleading, as these are not _the_ 7 deepest shipwrecks, like the title implies, just 7 _of the_ deepest.
There are a lot of factual errors in this video. I doubt the SS Rio Grande was sunk vy US warships in 1995 as it was a German blockade runner and I pretty sure the Germans have not been at war with US, Uk or their allies since end of WWII in1945. USS Samuel Roberts was a destroyer or destroyer escort rather than a battleship like the USS New Jersey
Ships float due to their design and ability to displace water. When you put something that floats in the water, it presses down against the water and pushes it out, but the water also presses up against the object. In order for something to float, it needs to weigh less than the weight of the water that it displaces. So weight and geometry are the two factors that determine if something will float. This is why large ships are shaped to a point at the bottom, because it allows for a lot more water displacement. This is also why cargo ships have lines with numbers painted on the sides. You can calculate the weight of the cargo you're picking up, by comparing how low in the water it is to how much lower it gets in the water after you've loaded the cargo.
@@stalinfurry9990 does not defy the laws of physics, if a ship is buoyant, it will float a ship displaces it's weight in the volume of water, so if the water displaced is less than the volume of ship, that means the total volume of ship is less dense than the water it displaces, so it stays afloat
@@randomcomputer7248 I'm not making anything up dude. This is real. Let me crunch some numbers for you really quick. So you can understand just how much water actually weighs. You can very easily purchase a 15x4ft swimming pool for your backyard. Its not a very big pool, but it can get the job done. A pool that size holds 706 cubic feet worth of water. A single cubic foot of water weighs 62.48 lbs. So, the water in that pool weighs 44,164 lbs, or 22 tons. Now, this is nothing compared to an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a lake, and especially the ocean. Also, the ocean is salty sea water, which actually weighs more. Lets check out the Olympic-sized swimming pool next. An Olympic-sized swimming pool is 88,263 cubic feet. Multiply this by our 62.48 lbs per cubic foot of fresh water, and you get 5,514,672.24 lbs, or about 2,757 tons. Now, as for a huge cargo ship. The largest cargo ship in the world right now is the MSC Irina. This ship has a length of 1,312 ft, and a beam/width of 201.1 ft. This gives us a 'footprint' of 263,843.2 square ft. Now, large cargo ships sit between 30 and 40ft under the water when at their registered max weight. This is where the water is getting displaced. The MSC Irina, the largest cargo ship on earth, sits at 40ft below water. This gives us a displacement of 10,553,728 cubic ft. We plug in the weight of a cubic foot of water. But wait, this is seawater, which weighs a bit more than fresh water. A cubic foot of fresh water weighs 62.48 lbs., but a cubic foot of sea water weighs 63.93 lbs. It might not seem like much, but it does add up, especially with a displacement this large. Now, we plug that number into our displacement, and we get 674,699,831.04 lbs. of seawater. That translates to 337,349.91552 tons, but let's just round it to 337,350 tons. Given the fact that the MSC Irina has a gross weight of 233,328 tons. Since it can carry 100k tons of cargo, these numbers fit almost perfectly. Let me be clear, the ship can go below 40ft underwater and still be fine. Now, obviously, at a certain point it will sink, but a few feet is no big deal. Lets say there was an additional 25,000 tons of weight or force pushing the ship down. This would only cause it to sink and displace an additional 3ft of water. Please, learn from your mistakes. When someone is trying to pass their knowledge on to you, be thankful and accept it with some gratitude.
What about SS El Faro, which was a roll-on/roll-off container ship that sank during Hurricane Joaquin in 2015? It lies at 15,000 feet (4,600 meters) at the bottom in the Atlantic about 35 nautical miles from Crooked Island
It's eerie to think about how many shipwrecks are below the surface that will probably never be found, like the Achille Lauro. She sank in such deep waters that no one has even been able to search or find the wreck.
@@SteveJones-uf9hs famous for being overated, of no real use, a waste of resources and every other navy given the exact same spec and resources would have made a better ship. the Bismarck is a demostration of the folly and lack of precision in German thinking and production
That's because they got confused with Titanic striking the iceberg at 11:40 PM on the 14th, but since the sinking took 2 hours and 40 minutes, the ship fully sank at 2:20 AM on the 15th.
Not even as large as a destroyer. The Samuel B Roberts was a destroyer escort. The Johnston was a destroyer, and the Sammy B was approx. 70ft 6in shorter and 750 tons lighter.
Right? I immediately stopped and knew this had to be propaganda. 1996 is not the same as 1944. 1944 German’s were Nazis sinking our ships for a decade/Lusitania.

They insist that the surface of the moon is more friendly toward human life than the deepest areas of the ocean. Even most fish never go down that far.
@@Unhinged29 And it's common because it's a fact. It might've fought *like* a battleship against the IJN, but that does *not* make it one. If everyone used that same logic, the Yamato's record against the USN would make it a frigate or a PT boat. Do you see how fallible that logic is? The Samuel B Roberts *is* a destroyer escort, whether you like it or not.
The caption of the Rio Grande is inaccurate the illustration is of a liberty ship of the same name. She was scuttled when confronted by two US warships on 4 January 1944 having set of from Japanese held suribaya in autumn 1943 in 2018 many rubber bales were washing ashore with markings of Japanese occupied Malay and Vietnamese plantations and it's believed that the Philippine cobalt has been salvaged and probably much of the copper and tin. Indeed the blockade runners whilst interesting were a testament to how weak the axis was with ships having to run the gauntlet all the way from Indonesia to France and whilst the value of the tonnage was much greater than what was shipped by the allies on the whole it was pathetic in contrast. She was part of a flotilla of five and only one reached France in the last attempt to use surface ships for blockade running. The runners would leave France and Japanese held south east Asia in the autumn in radio silence and U boats were banned from attacking lone unidentified ships in case of striking one which did happen with the loss of the speybank. They would only radio in distress as the Rio Grande attempted to do but was jammed. There are interesting websites and books on the topic of the blockade runners also Japan refused to commit any ships of its own which caused annoyance to Germany and Italy. The cobalt was used in lathe and milling machine bits and aero engine alloys
The Samuel B Roberts was NOT a Battleship! It was a Destroyer Escort, one of the smallest combatant ships that went against the Japanese super battleship Yamato and other battleships and cruisers along with ships like the USS Johnston.
At 5:53 it's called "the destroyer escort that fought like a battleship". I think they made it pretty clear that the Samuel B Roberts is a destroyer escort and not a battleship.
A quick explanation on what these ships actually were: SS Winfield Scott- A steamship that transported passengers and cargo between Panama and California during the California Gold Rush. It crashed off Middle Acanapa Island and sank with no casualties. Mary Rose- A Tudor-era carrack. Sank during the Battle of the Solent, apparently when she heeled too far and her open gunports were dunked in the ocean. Her wreck has been raised and is currently in a museum. Ray of Hope- a freighter sunk purposefully as an artificial reef. A nice diving site if you're in the area. USS Kittiwake- A submarine rescue ship (meaning a ship that rescues submarines, not a submarine that rescues ships), also sunk as an artificial reef. Dokos Shipwreck- A shipwreck site off the island of Dokos, presumed to be a sunken Ancient Greek trader. The ship isn't actually there any more, having rotted away, but its cargo remained. RMS Rhone- a steam/sail cargo and passenger ship that sunk due to a hurricane in the Caribbean. Superior Producer- A costal cargo ship and one of the best-known diving sites in Curacao. She sank in rough seas due to being overloaded, though the crew abandoned ship safely. SS Thistlegorm- An armed cargo steamship sunk in the Red Sea by German aircraft. Vasa- A Swedish Ship of the Line. Sunk a few minutes into her maiden voyage due to being poorly balanced. Was raised and is now a museum, much like the Mary Rose. SS Yongala- a cargo and passenger freighter that sank off Bowling Green, Australia, in a cyclone. She was lost with all hands, and no one realized she'd sunk until debris started to wash up on shore. SS Umbria- Italian cargo ship caught carrying war contraband and scuttled by the British. U-352- German submarine sunk while on patrol off the coast of South Carolina by depth charge from the coast guard cutter Icarus. Sea Tiger- A Chinese-owned vessel confiscated by the US Coast Guard when it was found to be carrying illegal immigrants, and later sunk as an artificial reef off Oahu. Costa Concordia- a cruise ship that ran aground and tipped over. Big news story when it happened. Kronprinz Wilhelm- A WW1 German battleship, scuttled in Scapa Flow after the end of the war. RMS Empress of Ireland- A Scottish passenger liner that sunk following a collision with a collier in a heavy fog. USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenburg- US Navy transport sunk as an artificial reef. Bristol Blenheim Bomber- Not technically a shipwreck. This is actually a crashed Bristol Blenheim, a British light bomber plane of early WW2, off Malta. Wilhelm Gustloff- German military transport sunk by a Soviet submarine while evacuating civilians. Nippo Maru- Japanese freighter turned munitions transport that sank after being bombed in WW2. If you want the Nippon Maru with an extra N, she's a museum ship. Black Jack B-17 Bomber- Another crashed aircraft, this one at Papa New Guinea. USS Saratoga CV-3 - An aircraft carrier converted out of an unfinished battlecruiser. Saratoga survived the war and was sank by an atomic bomb as part of the Operation Crossroads teets. SS Andrea Doria- An Italian passenger liner that collided with another liner off Massachusetts and sank, though most of the passengers and crew survived due to good handling of the disaster. MS Estonia- A cruise ferry that sank in the Baltic Sea, apparently because the bow door failed under waves pounding it. RMS Republic- A White Star Liner that collided with the SS Florida in heavy fog. The ship was equipped with wireless, and its distress call saved all of the passengers and crew except the six who died in the collision. RMS Lusitania- A Cunard liner sunk off Ireland by a German U-boat due to her use as a munitions transport vessel. As she was not armed and was carrying a load of passengers when she was sunk, nobody bought the Germans' claims and it was a significant factor in the United States joining the war later. For the record- yes, she was absolutely carrying munitions, which is a bit of a problem for salvage efforts. HMHS Britannic- Titanic's younger sister, co-opted by the Royal Navy and turned into a hospital ship, later being sunk by a mine. RMS Carpathia- A Cunard liner famous for coming to the rescue in the aftermath of the Titanic's sinking. It was later turned over to the Royal Navy and used as a troop transport and armed merchant cruiser. being torpedoed while escorting a convoy by a German U-Boat, though most of the people onboard were able to leave safely. Yolanda- A Cypriot cargo ship that grounded on a reef. It's so deep nowadays because it actually fell off the reef in a storm and had to be re-discovered. Yamato- A massive battleship belonging to Imperial Japan, sunk during Operation Ten-Go (Yamato was to beach off Okinawa and act as gunfire support for the island) by as many American aircraft as would fit in the sky. Dona Paz- A Philippine passenger ferry that sank following a collision with an oil tanker. Her loss is the world's deadliest peacetime maritime disaster. USS Independence (CVL-22)- A light aircraft carrier converted from a light cruiser, serving the USN. She survived Operation Crossroads, but was later scuttled off the Farallon Islands. SS Robert E. Lee- Passenger steamship torpedoed by a U-Boat on its way to New Orleans. K-278 Komsomolets- A Soviet nuclear attack submarine that sank off Norway due to a fire onboard. USS Thresher (SSN-593)- A USN nuclear submarine that sank during deep diving tests. SS La Bourgogne- A French passenger liner that sunk during a collision with a sailing ship during a heavy fog. USS Scorpion (SSN-589) - A US nuclear submarine. Lost with all hands and no one knows exactly why, being one of four mysterious submarine disappearances in that year. RMS Titanic- A White Star Liner that rather famously struck an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic and was lost with a good chunk of her passengers and crew. K-8 Project 627A- A Soviet nuclear submarine that sank due to onboard fires in the Bay of Biscay. KMS Bismarck- A German battleship that sortied to attack Atlantic convoys, sunk HMS Hood, and was then chased and sunk by pretty much the entire Royal Navy for destroying their flagship. K-129- A Soviet submarine that vanished after setting off on a patrol from the Kamchatka Peninsula, in the same year as the Scorpion's loss. It might have been something with her batteries, human failure, or she might have collided with the USS Swordfish, another submarine that collided with something (officially ice) and broke its periscope. USS America (CV-66)- A USN supercarrier used in weapons tests. USS Indianapolis- A USN heavy cruiser that was sunk by a Japanese submarine after returning from a mission to deliver critical components for the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima. SS Rio Grande- A German blockade runner sunk by USN destroyers. Held the title of deepest shipwreck in the world until shipwrecks from the Battle off Samar (which took place over the Philippine Trench) were discovered. USS Johnston- A USN destroyer sunk during the Battle Off Samar after seeing away a force whose largest gun turrets outweighed the Johnston in its entirety. Deepest shipwreck in the world until Samuel B. Roberts, a destroyer escort sunk in the same battle, was discovered.
I'm sick of people calling every ship that has guns a battleship. The ones here are destroyers and destroyer escorts. Battleships are huge ships with massive guns.
What research was done to conclude this list? It’s horribly inaccurate. Right off the bat I know USS Wasp(American Carrier) was discovered about 14,000 feet deep. The German battleship Bismarck was discovered around 15,000. USS Hornet(American carrier) is over 17,000 feet deep. And 3 carriers sunk at the battle of midway (IJN Kaga, IJN Akagi, and USS Yorktown are close to 18,000 feet down. Those are just the ones that came to mind I’m sure there are many more. Wonder if this list was made just to include Titanic during the submersible controversy.
Shame you didn't mention that the two deepest wrecks here were discovered by the same person - Victor Vescovo. Guy is amazing at this - he's a crazy guy, having summited the highest peaks on seven continents and the deepest parts of the ocean. There's an amazing video around documenting how he developed his submersible.
The area where the Titanic lies is in what's called the Western Boundary Undercurrent! It's an active area where there are a lot of eddie's and ripples which create a constant and active sediment in the debris-field where the Titanic lies. The water in that part of the Northern Atlantic is apparently also replete with iron-eating bacteria that "eats" a few dozen pounds of iron a month! Some have estimated that the Titanic will be unrecognizable by 2030, but I find that to be ridiculous. It's deteriorating fast, but not that fast!
@@semoneg2826 I don't think years it's been sitting has anything to do with it. The only thing I can come up with is water temperature? Because these ships that are deeper would also be sitting in, theoretically, the same pitch black. It's just really strange that they can take the same 8k cameras down to these ships, and the deeper ones get crystal clear images, while it looks like they took pictures of Titanic with a potato.
@@eugeneeasthon5906agine that the whole Titanic discovery thing was a fraud, created to fool the Russians during the cold war of the 1980s, boasting that they had highly advanced submersibles that could go so deep but in reality they haven't found her at all... Imagine if it was all made up and what we really see is a scaled model in a deep water tank and under water sound stages for the interiors! Personally I question these submersibles simply in the design of a metal sphere.. A sphere is the best shape they say because pressure is equal on all areas... But it's impossible to have any input device in to a sphere that input connection into the sphere being a weak point when it comes to sea pressure they say is 6000 Ib per square inch.. Imagine taking the Eiffel Tower, turning it upside down and placing it on your toe lol Thats what the pressure has been described as!! Drilling any hole for power cable connections into a metal ball will always be the a danger point, because of possible leaks, which would cause instant implosion..a ball has no flat surface for anything to sit flush without being sealed..like I say at that depth I can't see any seal being adequate! Hence why the navy submarines have nothing on the outside at all not even port holes! I work with hydrolics and know about pressures seals and leaks!! I just cannot see how these submersibles truely work in that depth!
@@perrysaker-ee1gq I'd be intrigued by this theory if those OceanGate dipshits didn't have a handful of successful dives before the implosion. They were strictly for tourism profit. I think, if they had put even a few minutes of actual research into building their sub, other companies would have jumped on this tour, and anyone would eventually have been able to get on one of these trips.
Why is the date of the sinking of the SS Rio Grande blurred out at the 3:55 mark in the video? It is not like it is some "secret" about the day it was sunk, just like the day the USS Indianapolis was sank.
They actually also purposely sink ships once they retire. They strip them down, clean them really well, and then sink them so they can become coral for fish and other species in the ocean.
Oh so I guess you never heard of the Bismarck cos I certainly know that ship should be on the list so I think you should go back and do your list again and I think think also the Yamato as well oh and I forgot the MV Derbyshire so go back and do the list again
The Junyo Maru - never to be forgotten. The largest maritime catastrophe in history ! RIP to my Grandfather that lost his life on that ship. 5620 people died !
You forgot the HMHS Britannic, she was sailing in the Kea channel at around 8:12am in the Aegean Sea on 21st of November when she struck a mine on her starboard side and started sinking. The mine detonation warped the ships hull and brought the ships Marconi cables down between the 2 masts. This means that Britannic can send messages, but she cannot receive them. A little bit after the mine, Captain Charles Bartlett attempted to beach the Britannic at the island of kea which was on her starboard side. In the attempt, two lifeboats were launched without the captain’s orders and it got chopped up by the port side propeller, oh and the mine detonation knocked out the ships helm, so Captain Bartlett used the starboard propeller off, the central propeller on and the port propeller to turn Britannic to Kea. Before a 3rd lifeboat was chopped up, the engines were ordered off and the 3rd boat was dodged death barely. Before the bow went under, Britannic’s engines were ordered on again in a second attempt to beach the ship, but when the forward well deck and was flooded, Britannic had turned too much and was now needing to turn back, so the attempts were abandoned and just as the bridge flooded, There was no single living soul on the ship. and, Britannic begin her final plunge and sank but, when the stern was still sticking out of the water, Britannic is 882 feet and the aegean sea is only roughly 400 feet, so the bow slammed into the sea floor and the stern slowly tipped over and went under the surface. And at 9:07 am, HMHS Britannic was gone after 55 minutes. Even though its sad, only 30 people died. 30!!!! The wreck was discovered in 1975 in good condition but the bow had a big structural damage when it hit the seafloor. Now, Britannic is a home for marine life and will probably last 100 years which is good unlike her sister britannic,
400 ft is not very deep as far as shipwrecks go. While extremely difficult and only those with the greatest expertise can. She is still reachable by scuba. That's nowhere near, even remotely possible with her more more famous sister at over 2 miles down. Which is only reachable by a few select subs..
Samuel Roberts was discovered at about 21,500 feet. The deepest part of the Philippine Sea is 34,500 feet. Just avoid swimming there, sir. I used to live just 500 meters from the Manila Bay in the capital city and I used to swim and fish there during my early years. Average depth is only about 55 feet. That was the famous bay where the US Fleet, commanded by Admiral Dewey, sank the Spanish fleet during the Spanish-American war in 1898.
"we know more about space than we do our oceans"? That is bollocks. We don't even know 0.002% of space. We don't even know what space is. We know what our oceans are made of, we have even mapped pretty much all of our oceans and most of our seafloors. Videos or people who use this saying when talking about the ocean should immediately be taken as BS.
I believe the correct name for the deepest wreck is the _USS Samuel B. Roberts._ It's not proper to refer to it as the "USS Samuel". That's akin to calling the famous ocean liner Queen Mary just the "HMS Queen".
There are probably more. USS Gambier Bay and USS Hoel were sunk in the same battle and have yet to be found. The Japanese also lost 2 cruisers in the area which also have yet to be found. The IJN Suzuya is suspected of lying a few thousand feet deeper but hasn't been found to confirm that.
5:33 No, simply no. The Samuel B. Roberts never was and never will be a battleship. She wasn't even a regular destroyer like the Fletcher class USS Johnston, she was just a destroyer escort. What makes something a battleship? Heavy armour, a lot of displacement and heavy guns. What did SBR have? Just 2 single 5inch 38 guns, which would make up just 1 out of originally 10 secondary mounts on the Iowa class battleships, not to mention their 9 16inch guns in triple turrets, no armour except maybe splinter proofing to avoid damage from near misses and a displacement of 1370 tons. The Iowa class had 59065t in 1943. God I hate it when people think "warship, battleship... they are all the same". Same thing with cruise ships and ocean liners...
That's crazy that two US warships sunk the SS Rio Grande in 1996, 51 years after World War II ended. Perhaps if you're going to posit your video as educational or informative content then you should actually fact check and make sure you're providing accurate and valid facts.
You should have done better research because the Battleship Bismark is deeper than the RMS Titanic, at approximately 4,791 m (15,719 ft). Robert Ballard found the RMS Titanic and the Battleship Bismark. Good video, though!

I was surprised that the Bismarck was not mentioned. It would have fit in between RMS Titanic and SS City Of Cairo.
BISMARCK NOT BISMARK
USS Yorktown for starters.
Whoever comprised this list completely forgot about Bismarck who rests at a depth of 15,700ft

Ships float due to their design and ability to displace water. When you put something that floats in the water, it presses down against the water and pushes it out, but the water also presses up against the object. In order for something to float, it needs to weigh less than the weight of the water that it displaces. So weight and geometry are the two factors that determine if something will float. This is why large ships are shaped to a point at the bottom, because it allows for a lot more water displacement.
This is also why cargo ships have lines with numbers painted on the sides. You can calculate the weight of the cargo you're picking up, by comparing how low in the water it is to how much lower it gets in the water after you've loaded the cargo.
It’s still a destroyer, not a fucking battleship a battleship has a higher caliber of guns, more heavily armor and there’s a lot more slower
@@stalinfurry9990 does not defy the laws of physics, if a ship is buoyant, it will float
a ship displaces it's weight in the volume of water, so if the water displaced is less than the volume of ship, that means the total volume of ship is less dense than the water it displaces, so it stays afloat
stop making stuff up
@@randomcomputer7248 I'm not making anything up dude. This is real.
Let me crunch some numbers for you really quick. So you can understand just how much water actually weighs.
You can very easily purchase a 15x4ft swimming pool for your backyard.
Its not a very big pool, but it can get the job done.
A pool that size holds 706 cubic feet worth of water. A single cubic foot of water weighs 62.48 lbs. So, the water in that pool weighs 44,164 lbs, or 22 tons.
Now, this is nothing compared to an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a lake, and especially the ocean.
Also, the ocean is salty sea water, which actually weighs more.
Lets check out the Olympic-sized swimming pool next.
An Olympic-sized swimming pool is 88,263 cubic feet. Multiply this by our 62.48 lbs per cubic foot of fresh water, and you get 5,514,672.24 lbs, or about 2,757 tons.
Now, as for a huge cargo ship.
The largest cargo ship in the world right now is the MSC Irina. This ship has a length of 1,312 ft, and a beam/width of 201.1 ft. This gives us a 'footprint' of 263,843.2 square ft.
Now, large cargo ships sit between 30 and 40ft under the water when at their registered max weight. This is where the water is getting displaced. The MSC Irina, the largest cargo ship on earth, sits at 40ft below water.
This gives us a displacement of 10,553,728 cubic ft. We plug in the weight of a cubic foot of water. But wait, this is seawater, which weighs a bit more than fresh water. A cubic foot of fresh water weighs 62.48 lbs., but a cubic foot of sea water weighs 63.93 lbs. It might not seem like much, but it does add up, especially with a displacement this large.
Now, we plug that number into our displacement, and we get 674,699,831.04 lbs. of seawater.
That translates to 337,349.91552 tons, but let's just round it to 337,350 tons.
Given the fact that the MSC Irina has a gross weight of 233,328 tons. Since it can carry 100k tons of cargo, these numbers fit almost perfectly.
Let me be clear, the ship can go below 40ft underwater and still be fine. Now, obviously, at a certain point it will sink, but a few feet is no big deal.
Lets say there was an additional 25,000 tons of weight or force pushing the ship down. This would only cause it to sink and displace an additional 3ft of water.
Please, learn from your mistakes. When someone is trying to pass their knowledge on to you, be thankful and accept it with some gratitude.

Rio Grande was sunk in 1944, not 1996. It was found in 1996.
there should be 8 on here, the ship left out is the German Battleship Bismarck
Yea your right
Fun fact: the wreck of the bismark is actually not upside down even though it sank by captize
What about the german Battleship Bismarck? Her Wreck lies in a depth of 4.800 Meters.
This puzzled me as well. This channel needs to do more research

Uss Roberts is at 6.500 meters
@@bigupyourselfOkay, but Titanic is not american ship, it's the english🤷🏻♂️
And 15k deep

The Bismarck doesn't get jumped by the entire British Royal Navy just to be forgotten in some RUclips video 80 years later.. The disrespect..
It's eerie to think about how many shipwrecks are below the surface that will probably never be found, like the Achille Lauro. She sank in such deep waters that no one has even been able to search or find the wreck.
What about the Bismarck?
aprox 4790 meters

@@SteveJones-uf9hs famous for being overated, of no real use, a waste of resources and every other navy given the exact same spec and resources would have made a better ship.
the Bismarck is a demostration of the folly and lack of precision in German thinking and production
The Titanic was actually lost on 15 April 1912, not the 14th as you have it listed.
That's because they got confused with Titanic striking the iceberg at 11:40 PM on the 14th, but since the sinking took 2 hours and 40 minutes, the ship fully sank at 2:20 AM on the 15th.
@@MrShipBuff Yes, I know.
USS Hornet (CV-8) famous for launching the Doolittle Raid. The ship lies at a depth of 5400m.
And of course, Battleship Bismarck: 4800 m.

Great video. But where is The german ship The bismack?
Bismarck has left the chat
At around 5:32 you call the ship a "battleship." It's not a battleship! It's a destroyer!
Not even as large as a destroyer. The Samuel B Roberts was a destroyer escort. The Johnston was a destroyer, and the Sammy B was approx. 70ft 6in shorter and 750 tons lighter.
The Samuel B Roberts was said to have "Fought like a battleship".
3:51 The SS Rio Grande was lost on January 4, 1944, not in 1996, lol
Didn't the Indianapolis carry the atom bomb
Although sunk by the US Navy for test purposes, the USS America CV-66 is at a depth of 16,800 feet (5,120 meters).
Why is the sinking date from SS Grande blurred?
Maybe because the date was wrong. A few comments correct this.
Rio Grande sunk in 44 not 1996
The picture showed a Liberty ship not a German blockaderunner
Right? I immediately stopped and knew this had to be propaganda. 1996 is not the same as 1944. 1944 German’s were Nazis sinking our ships for a decade/Lusitania.
Yeah, being a blackade runner for the Germans in 1996? That made me laugh. What blockade were they running? The blockade of some random UN embargo?

It might've fought *like* a battleship against the IJN, but that does *not* make it one.

The caption of the Rio Grande is inaccurate the illustration is of a liberty ship of the same name. She was scuttled when confronted by two US warships on 4 January 1944 having set of from Japanese held suribaya in autumn 1943 in 2018 many rubber bales were washing ashore with markings of Japanese occupied Malay and Vietnamese plantations and it's believed that the Philippine cobalt has been salvaged and probably much of the copper and tin. Indeed the blockade runners whilst interesting were a testament to how weak the axis was with ships having to run the gauntlet all the way from Indonesia to France and whilst the value of the tonnage was much greater than what was shipped by the allies on the whole it was pathetic in contrast. She was part of a flotilla of five and only one reached France in the last attempt to use surface ships for blockade running. The runners would leave France and Japanese held south east Asia in the autumn in radio silence and U boats were banned from attacking lone unidentified ships in case of striking one which did happen with the loss of the speybank. They would only radio in distress as the Rio Grande attempted to do but was jammed. There are interesting websites and books on the topic of the blockade runners also Japan refused to commit any ships of its own which caused annoyance to Germany and Italy. The cobalt was used in lathe and milling machine bits and aero engine alloys
The Samuel B Roberts was NOT a Battleship! It was a Destroyer Escort, one of the smallest combatant ships that went against the Japanese super battleship Yamato and other battleships and cruisers along with ships like the USS Johnston.
The statement was She fought like a battleship not that she was one.
At 5:53 it's called "the destroyer escort that fought like a battleship". I think they made it pretty clear that the Samuel B Roberts is a destroyer escort and not a battleship.
@@knickohr01 I think I know why they are all feverishly correcting her over every little thing. Oh, well, I gave the vid a like. XD
Pay attention, dude.
She literally called the destroyer escort a battleship at 5:35, she was wrong on that one but right with the quote
1:48 Anyone noticing the guy cheering💀
A quick explanation on what these ships actually were:
SS Winfield Scott- A steamship that transported passengers and cargo between Panama and California during the California Gold Rush. It crashed off Middle Acanapa Island and sank with no casualties.
Mary Rose- A Tudor-era carrack. Sank during the Battle of the Solent, apparently when she heeled too far and her open gunports were dunked in the ocean. Her wreck has been raised and is currently in a museum.
Ray of Hope- a freighter sunk purposefully as an artificial reef. A nice diving site if you're in the area.
USS Kittiwake- A submarine rescue ship (meaning a ship that rescues submarines, not a submarine that rescues ships), also sunk as an artificial reef.
Dokos Shipwreck- A shipwreck site off the island of Dokos, presumed to be a sunken Ancient Greek trader. The ship isn't actually there any more, having rotted away, but its cargo remained.
RMS Rhone- a steam/sail cargo and passenger ship that sunk due to a hurricane in the Caribbean.
Superior Producer- A costal cargo ship and one of the best-known diving sites in Curacao. She sank in rough seas due to being overloaded, though the crew abandoned ship safely.
SS Thistlegorm- An armed cargo steamship sunk in the Red Sea by German aircraft.
Vasa- A Swedish Ship of the Line. Sunk a few minutes into her maiden voyage due to being poorly balanced. Was raised and is now a museum, much like the Mary Rose.
SS Yongala- a cargo and passenger freighter that sank off Bowling Green, Australia, in a cyclone. She was lost with all hands, and no one realized she'd sunk until debris started to wash up on shore.
SS Umbria- Italian cargo ship caught carrying war contraband and scuttled by the British.
U-352- German submarine sunk while on patrol off the coast of South Carolina by depth charge from the coast guard cutter Icarus.
Sea Tiger- A Chinese-owned vessel confiscated by the US Coast Guard when it was found to be carrying illegal immigrants, and later sunk as an artificial reef off Oahu.
Costa Concordia- a cruise ship that ran aground and tipped over. Big news story when it happened.
Kronprinz Wilhelm- A WW1 German battleship, scuttled in Scapa Flow after the end of the war.
RMS Empress of Ireland- A Scottish passenger liner that sunk following a collision with a collier in a heavy fog.
USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenburg- US Navy transport sunk as an artificial reef.
Bristol Blenheim Bomber- Not technically a shipwreck. This is actually a crashed Bristol Blenheim, a British light bomber plane of early WW2, off Malta.
Wilhelm Gustloff- German military transport sunk by a Soviet submarine while evacuating civilians.
Nippo Maru- Japanese freighter turned munitions transport that sank after being bombed in WW2. If you want the Nippon Maru with an extra N, she's a museum ship.
Black Jack B-17 Bomber- Another crashed aircraft, this one at Papa New Guinea.
USS Saratoga CV-3 - An aircraft carrier converted out of an unfinished battlecruiser. Saratoga survived the war and was sank by an atomic bomb as part of the Operation Crossroads teets.
SS Andrea Doria- An Italian passenger liner that collided with another liner off Massachusetts and sank, though most of the passengers and crew survived due to good handling of the disaster.
MS Estonia- A cruise ferry that sank in the Baltic Sea, apparently because the bow door failed under waves pounding it.
RMS Republic- A White Star Liner that collided with the SS Florida in heavy fog. The ship was equipped with wireless, and its distress call saved all of the passengers and crew except the six who died in the collision.
RMS Lusitania- A Cunard liner sunk off Ireland by a German U-boat due to her use as a munitions transport vessel. As she was not armed and was carrying a load of passengers when she was sunk, nobody bought the Germans' claims and it was a significant factor in the United States joining the war later. For the record- yes, she was absolutely carrying munitions, which is a bit of a problem for salvage efforts.
HMHS Britannic- Titanic's younger sister, co-opted by the Royal Navy and turned into a hospital ship, later being sunk by a mine.
RMS Carpathia- A Cunard liner famous for coming to the rescue in the aftermath of the Titanic's sinking. It was later turned over to the Royal Navy and used as a troop transport and armed merchant cruiser. being torpedoed while escorting a convoy by a German U-Boat, though most of the people onboard were able to leave safely.
Yolanda- A Cypriot cargo ship that grounded on a reef. It's so deep nowadays because it actually fell off the reef in a storm and had to be re-discovered.
Yamato- A massive battleship belonging to Imperial Japan, sunk during Operation Ten-Go (Yamato was to beach off Okinawa and act as gunfire support for the island) by as many American aircraft as would fit in the sky.
Dona Paz- A Philippine passenger ferry that sank following a collision with an oil tanker. Her loss is the world's deadliest peacetime maritime disaster.
USS Independence (CVL-22)- A light aircraft carrier converted from a light cruiser, serving the USN. She survived Operation Crossroads, but was later scuttled off the Farallon Islands.
SS Robert E. Lee- Passenger steamship torpedoed by a U-Boat on its way to New Orleans.
K-278 Komsomolets- A Soviet nuclear attack submarine that sank off Norway due to a fire onboard.
USS Thresher (SSN-593)- A USN nuclear submarine that sank during deep diving tests.
SS La Bourgogne- A French passenger liner that sunk during a collision with a sailing ship during a heavy fog.
USS Scorpion (SSN-589) - A US nuclear submarine. Lost with all hands and no one knows exactly why, being one of four mysterious submarine disappearances in that year.
RMS Titanic- A White Star Liner that rather famously struck an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic and was lost with a good chunk of her passengers and crew.
K-8 Project 627A- A Soviet nuclear submarine that sank due to onboard fires in the Bay of Biscay.
KMS Bismarck- A German battleship that sortied to attack Atlantic convoys, sunk HMS Hood, and was then chased and sunk by pretty much the entire Royal Navy for destroying their flagship.
K-129- A Soviet submarine that vanished after setting off on a patrol from the Kamchatka Peninsula, in the same year as the Scorpion's loss. It might have been something with her batteries, human failure, or she might have collided with the USS Swordfish, another submarine that collided with something (officially ice) and broke its periscope.
USS America (CV-66)- A USN supercarrier used in weapons tests.
USS Indianapolis- A USN heavy cruiser that was sunk by a Japanese submarine after returning from a mission to deliver critical components for the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
SS Rio Grande- A German blockade runner sunk by USN destroyers. Held the title of deepest shipwreck in the world until shipwrecks from the Battle off Samar (which took place over the Philippine Trench) were discovered.
USS Johnston- A USN destroyer sunk during the Battle Off Samar after seeing away a force whose largest gun turrets outweighed the Johnston in its entirety. Deepest shipwreck in the world until Samuel B. Roberts, a destroyer escort sunk in the same battle, was discovered.
I'm sick of people calling every ship that has guns a battleship. The ones here are destroyers and destroyer escorts. Battleships are huge ships with massive guns.
What research was done to conclude this list? It’s horribly inaccurate. Right off the bat I know USS Wasp(American Carrier) was discovered about 14,000 feet deep. The German battleship Bismarck was discovered around 15,000. USS Hornet(American carrier) is over 17,000 feet deep. And 3 carriers sunk at the battle of midway (IJN Kaga, IJN Akagi, and USS Yorktown are close to 18,000 feet down. Those are just the ones that came to mind I’m sure there are many more. Wonder if this list was made just to include Titanic during the submersible controversy.
KMS Bismarck is actually closer to 16,000 at 15,750 feet
Here you go )
The Samuel B. Roberts was not a battleship. It was a destroyer escort
She said that in the video. "A destroyer escort that fought LIKE a battleship."
@@thesmackdragon... AFTER first calling it a battleship.
pay attention
Named after the great state of Samuel B Roberts
Bismarck over here like "WTF!" I'm deeper than the Titanic!
Why didn't the Bismarck get a mention?
Probably because of who built it
A map of the respective shipwreck sites would've been helpful. Nevertheless, still a good, informative video.
By reading the comments, I'm surprised NOBODY has mentioned the Bis.............
WE GET IT!
😆😆. No kidding
Shame you didn't mention that the two deepest wrecks here were discovered by the same person - Victor Vescovo. Guy is amazing at this - he's a crazy guy, having summited the highest peaks on seven continents and the deepest parts of the ocean. There's an amazing video around documenting how he developed his submersible.
How about The Bismack?
How is it all 5 of the ships shown deeper than Titanic all have way clearer and brighter pictures?
The area where the Titanic lies is in what's called the Western Boundary Undercurrent! It's an active area where there are a lot of eddie's and ripples which create a constant and active sediment in the debris-field where the Titanic lies.
The water in that part of the Northern Atlantic is apparently also replete with iron-eating bacteria that "eats" a few dozen pounds of iron a month! Some have estimated that the Titanic will be unrecognizable by 2030, but I find that to be ridiculous. It's deteriorating fast, but not that fast!
Maybe because of the amount of years the titanic went down and because the are is very dark
@@semoneg2826 I don't think years it's been sitting has anything to do with it. The only thing I can come up with is water temperature? Because these ships that are deeper would also be sitting in, theoretically, the same pitch black. It's just really strange that they can take the same 8k cameras down to these ships, and the deeper ones get crystal clear images, while it looks like they took pictures of Titanic with a potato.
@@eugeneeasthon5906agine that the whole Titanic discovery thing was a fraud, created to fool the Russians during the cold war of the 1980s, boasting that they had highly advanced submersibles that could go so deep but in reality they haven't found her at all...
Imagine if it was all made up and what we really see is a scaled model in a deep water tank and under water sound stages for the interiors!
Personally I question these submersibles simply in the design of a metal sphere..
A sphere is the best shape they say because pressure is equal on all areas...
But it's impossible to have any input device in to a sphere that input connection into the sphere being a weak point when it comes to sea pressure they say is 6000 Ib per square inch..
Imagine taking the Eiffel Tower, turning it upside down and placing it on your toe lol
Thats what the pressure has been described as!!
Drilling any hole for power cable connections into a metal ball will always be the a danger point, because of possible leaks, which would cause instant implosion..a ball has no flat surface for anything to sit flush without being sealed..like I say at that depth I can't see any seal being adequate!
Hence why the navy submarines have nothing on the outside at all not even port holes!
I work with hydrolics and know about pressures seals and leaks!!
I just cannot see how these submersibles truely work in that depth!
@@perrysaker-ee1gq I'd be intrigued by this theory if those OceanGate dipshits didn't have a handful of successful dives before the implosion. They were strictly for tourism profit. I think, if they had put even a few minutes of actual research into building their sub, other companies would have jumped on this tour, and anyone would eventually have been able to get on one of these trips.
These ships have nothing on me. Cause my whole life my mom told me I was IN DEEP SHIT
Just give the ship name and depth. We don’t need a history lesson on each.
Who cares how deep, they still sunk 😮
Video title is misleading because they are talking about deepest wrecks from which salvage was recovered, if I understood correctly.
Why is the date of the sinking of the SS Rio Grande blurred out at the 3:55 mark in the video? It is not like it is some "secret" about the day it was sunk, just like the day the USS Indianapolis was sank.

They actually also purposely sink ships once they retire. They strip them down, clean them really well, and then sink them so they can become coral for fish and other species in the ocean.
Oh I always thought they were polluting the ocean
the USS Oriskany the Great Carrier Reef
True, but they don't sink them that deep. Many are accessible by divers.
Oh so I guess you never heard of the Bismarck cos I certainly know that ship should be on the list so I think you should go back and do your list again and I think think also the Yamato as well oh and I forgot the MV Derbyshire so go back and do the list again

I miss the titanic
You forgot the HMHS Britannic, she was sailing in the Kea channel at around 8:12am in the Aegean Sea on 21st of November when she struck a mine on her starboard side and started sinking. The mine detonation warped the ships hull and brought the ships Marconi cables down between the 2 masts. This means that Britannic can send messages, but she cannot receive them. A little bit after the mine, Captain Charles Bartlett attempted to beach the Britannic at the island of kea which was on her starboard side. In the attempt, two lifeboats were launched without the captain’s orders and it got chopped up by the port side propeller, oh and the mine detonation knocked out the ships helm, so Captain Bartlett used the starboard propeller off, the central propeller on and the port propeller to turn Britannic to Kea. Before a 3rd lifeboat was chopped up, the engines were ordered off and the 3rd boat was dodged death barely. Before the bow went under, Britannic’s engines were ordered on again in a second attempt to beach the ship, but when the forward well deck and was flooded, Britannic had turned too much and was now needing to turn back, so the attempts were abandoned and just as the bridge flooded, There was no single living soul on the ship. and, Britannic begin her final plunge and sank but, when the stern was still sticking out of the water, Britannic is 882 feet and the aegean sea is only roughly 400 feet, so the bow slammed into the sea floor and the stern slowly tipped over and went under the surface. And at 9:07 am, HMHS Britannic was gone after 55 minutes. Even though its sad, only 30 people died. 30!!!! The wreck was discovered in 1975 in good condition but the bow had a big structural damage when it hit the seafloor. Now, Britannic is a home for marine life and will probably last 100 years which is good unlike her sister britannic,
400 ft is not very deep as far as shipwrecks go. While extremely difficult and only those with the greatest expertise can. She is still reachable by scuba. That's nowhere near, even remotely possible with her more more famous sister at over 2 miles down. Which is only reachable by a few select subs..
Fitting the Sammy and Johnston are together that deep. Must read Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors.
I know what actually happened to the Titanic
😳😳
Philippines has a lot of shipwrecks? 😳 And the deepest is there too. Wow.
Samuel Roberts was discovered at about 21,500 feet. The deepest part of the Philippine Sea is 34,500 feet. Just avoid swimming there, sir.
I used to live just 500 meters from the Manila Bay in the capital city and I used to swim and fish there during my early years. Average depth is only about 55 feet.
That was the famous bay where the US Fleet, commanded by Admiral Dewey, sank the Spanish fleet during the Spanish-American war in 1898.
The Philippine Trench crosses the bottom of the Philippine Sea, and it's either the second or third deepest ocean trench on Earth.
I like her voice
No mention of the Bismark?
Why did you blur out the date lost for the Rio Grande?
"we know more about space than we do our oceans"? That is bollocks. We don't even know 0.002% of space. We don't even know what space is. We know what our oceans are made of, we have even mapped pretty much all of our oceans and most of our seafloors. Videos or people who use this saying when talking about the ocean should immediately be taken as BS.
It was probably worth mentioning that spots 1 and 2 on this list, USS Samuel Roberts and USS Johnston, were sunk in the same battle.
Reckon I could snorkel to the USS Samuel B. Roberts? 😂
Bad video! All kinds of incorrect info!
I loved the Titanic😢😢😮😮😓😥😥😓😭😭😱😱😰😰😨😨
Titanic is dead
The video that shows the discovery of the Sammy B is fascinating if you're into shipwrecks.
Hard to believe the ocean is that deep......
I believe the correct name for the deepest wreck is the _USS Samuel B. Roberts._ It's not proper to refer to it as the "USS Samuel". That's akin to calling the famous ocean liner Queen Mary just the "HMS Queen".
There's a shipwreck *deeper* than the USS Johnston? Well I'll be damned...
USS Samuel B Roberts 22,621
There are probably more. USS Gambier Bay and USS Hoel were sunk in the same battle and have yet to be found. The Japanese also lost 2 cruisers in the area which also have yet to be found. The IJN Suzuya is suspected of lying a few thousand feet deeper but hasn't been found to confirm that.
What about the Derbyshire ? She sank on 9 Sep 1980 and was found in June 1994 at a depth of 4100 metres. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Derbyshire
5:33 No, simply no. The Samuel B. Roberts never was and never will be a battleship. She wasn't even a regular destroyer like the Fletcher class USS Johnston, she was just a destroyer escort. What makes something a battleship? Heavy armour, a lot of displacement and heavy guns. What did SBR have? Just 2 single 5inch 38 guns, which would make up just 1 out of originally 10 secondary mounts on the Iowa class battleships, not to mention their 9 16inch guns in triple turrets, no armour except maybe splinter proofing to avoid damage from near misses and a displacement of 1370 tons. The Iowa class had 59065t in 1943.
God I hate it when people think "warship, battleship... they are all the same". Same thing with cruise ships and ocean liners...
Is she just reading from an incorrect script and not paying attention? At 4:11...."SS Rio Grande was sunk on November 1996".
Hey, this list is missing the Bismark. It's in 15,XXX feet of water and went down in April of 1941
you were really going to tell us all about the Indianapolis but leave out the part where half its crew were eaten alive by sharks?
Don't forget Midway's carriers (Yorktown, Akagi, Kaga) They are even deeper than Titanic
7000km ... imagine that 😵
They're only saying that they found these ships location. And not suggesting anybody's gone down there.
That's crazy that two US warships sunk the SS Rio Grande in 1996, 51 years after World War II ended. Perhaps if you're going to posit your video as educational or informative content then you should actually fact check and make sure you're providing accurate and valid facts.
The "Unsinkable Hood" was sunk by the "Unsinkable Bismark" which was sunk four days later There is no such thing as an "Unsinkable" ship
Bismarck was found 4.700 meters under water surface. It was missing here.
You should have done better research because the Battleship Bismark is deeper than the RMS Titanic, at approximately 4,791 m (15,719 ft). Robert Ballard found the RMS Titanic and the Battleship Bismark. Good video, though!
I’m supprised the kms Bismarck wasn’t on there
I can't wait for the moment they locate the USS Samuel L. Jackson
Your number 1 wreck should be read as “Samuel B Roberts”. A destroyer escort that fought like a battleship
Where's Bismarck on here? She's laying very deep too in the Atlantic Ocean.
I love how all these videos, they always have to use clips of the movie titanic for any footage of the ship
