The Extraordinary Sinking Of MV Derbyshire | Disasters At Sea
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2018
- On route from Canada to Japan the huge, Liverpool registered, merchant ship MV Derbyshire was overwhelmed by typhoon Orchid. What was unusual was both that no ‘mayday’ message was ever heard, but even after six days of search no shipwreck was found and the search was called off.

I am a retired Bibby line engineer. I had sailed with a number of the crew , the 3rd engineer and his wife came from the same village as me. A tragic day for all sea farers and their loved ones. Attached a list of those that lost their
For some reason you tube won’t let me attach the
My great uncle was the chief engineer on the Ocean bridge, I think he was meant to go on the Derbyshire but a Redcar lad went instead. My great auntie still talks about him, he was called Leo Coltman, my great uncle was called Tom Ashcroft.
I have found out about Derbishire just now. Only 20 minutes ago. What could they do. I am affraid that nothing. Terribly.
My father was onboard , it's still very raw to me , after years trying to get to the truth it appears to of sank due to faulty hatches
I'm so sorry for the loss..But I think it's true..I have personally experienced everything here as a second mate in the north Pacific winter of 2010.. the storm, it's path the confusion, two lows merging after recurve, a perfect storm,winds over100 miles , the vent coming apart and the forepeak store flooding..all of it..We were lucky it was a loaded tanker not a bulky and we survived...At that point in time could not fathom the gravity of the situation. We stuck together and did all we could..It'll take very long to explain all of it..But end of the day it was the kind of ship we were on and the reserve buoyancy we had that I'm alive today to write this..
I feel your grief watching this video, it upsets me so much having been on the actual ship. I left the ship just weeks before this disaster and it still haunts me to this day.
Sorry for your loss Anne i cant imagine growing up without a father...this wreck always bothered me reading about it
Debbie I don't for one minute believe it was hatch failure..read Captain Dave Ramwell's well researched book 'A Ship too Far', the build of it and its sister ships was substandard.
@@andyniblock I have just read the intro for the book u mentioned and it's bollocks..I mean , Quote from book " Derbyshire is bigger than Titanic and so should not sink".Unquote, The bigger the bulkies are especially with high density or load dense cargoes like iron ore the more risk..And if the cargo is likely to liquify mean high TML then it's worse..and lots of times shippers give false report for the TML for commercial interest but nothing happens after the ship sinks..none of them are held accountable and it's the sad part..
Just imagine... fully submerged, the deafening creaking and tearing of steel girders and bulkheads, then suddenly CRACK, the lights go out, plunging you into complete blackness as the roar of rushing water joins the hellish and terrifying cacophony, shortly before your body is gripped by the icy water and crushing pressure of the abyss and you realise you have taken your last breath...
This is why thalassophobia is completely rational and healthy.
It would be over in a couple seconds. At that weight the ship would have sank to crush depth in seconds and your body would have been smushed even before it was able to drown
This re-enactment is full of truth and shocking marine History. Thank God that the IMO introduced measures that finally addressed the issues. I big salute with great sorrow for the 44 people who suddenly lost their lives,including 2 wives............. in just 2 minutes.
The Pacific Ocean is a ferocious beast. The biggest, deepest body of water that is anything BUT peaceful!
They don't know the exact cause and it was already common practjc3 to avoid storms
My mum's friend was on this, a nurse with her husband. Must have been terrifying 😥
My worst fear. Sorry for your loss
did ur moms friend live?
@@EO2100 Nobody did.
The Hutchinsons?
@@EO2100 No she didn’t as no one survived that sinking. I think her mums friend was that young woman with the lifejacket,who was helped by Peter Lambert,when the ship was sinking?
I worked 10 years at the mine which supplied the ore to the port of Sept-Isles where this iron ore came from. I can't imagine the brutal last 48 hours and final minutes these guys lived through.
Someone else commented that the ship sank so fast that most of the crew were still dry by the time it was FULLY submerged underwater.

@@RichardVSmall Dude, that is terrifying.
This honestly seems much more terrifying than the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. You're out on the open Ocean, a dangerous storm is approaching, and there's no way you can really avoid it. Despite the violent storms on Lake Superior, it's much smaller you can usually get to port with bad weather.
Both are scary, but I have heard that Lake Superior storms create waves that harder to survive. Since they are closer together. I would hate to experience either.
As the Coast Guard "Woodrush" commanderJames Hobough said after searching for survivors of the Fitz, " We searched for 3 days in the roughest seas Ive ever been in, in my life including the north atlantic and hurricanes in the gulf. There were 3 different seas coming from 3 different directions. At one point we rolled 51 degrees. It was a real quick snap roll and my XO went flying across the bridge and was actually standing on the port bulkhead. If the door to the port bridge wing had been open, he'd have went right over the side. it was really bad". Dont ever think the size of the body of water is lessor in an "inland sea".
It’s scarier to me because of how fast a giant like she could sink so fast, the ship also violently decompressed causing her to violently rip apart and scatter into multiple pieces across miles in the sea floor
@@CrewGuyPJ it’s not just the size of the waves but the fact that in a mid ocean typhoon you are way too far from shore to even think of safe harbor and rescue is pretty much impossible unless there’s a nearby ship.
I know the history of the MV Derbyshire for about ten years now... seeing this still sends shivers down my spine.
May they rest in peace.
I remember it so well I was working on Liverpool docks when the news came through that the Derbyshire was lost and a lot of the crew where from Liverpool later on they had a big service in town for the crew and all the ships in port stopped work and went to the service it was very moving day
So so sad😞
My next door neighbour and good friend Gruffydd Wyn Williams was on this ship . RIP
He was punished for lack of vowels
I am so sorry. Remember he is always there for you and his family never lost or gone ever as a family never leaves a family ever Even in Heaven Family is inseparable and never will leave his Family. Please give this to his family
I already knew how this story would end. Even as he thought he’d out run/ out maneuver that typhoon/hurricane/cyclone. I watched Drain The Oceans when they found the Derbyshire. Sad. You can’t out run her. That one rogue wave didn’t do that. The hatches were blown off. She slowly went beneath the waves without the crew noticing until it was beyond getting off the ship safely.
The history Channel and discovery has NO CREDIBILITY
Ancient aleins?gimme a break...that being said I wouldn't put too much in anything reported on any show they produce.
It was my understanding that the cause was undetermined due inability to carry out a survey at such depths and the channels just speculated based on lack of evidence for ANY theories they just picked the what they thought to be most likely.
She went quickly beneath the waves in a violent breakup. Once the hatches were ripped off it was only a matter of minutes and the crew was powerless to do anything because it happened so fast.
Those visuals were so cool
I built a miniature Lego model of the Derbyshire as a sign of Respect for the 44 RIP
Abandon ship.......and go where??? Mustve been spooky af.
The lifeboats at this time were already fully sealed and would
(hopefully) keep you alive until they found you. They didn't have time to make it to the lifeboats.
May God rest these unfortunate seafares!!😥
forgot to comment on this, don't want any fans to miss out on Brendan O'Gorman's tea parody songs (also on youtube)
seen here playing Captain Birds Eye or something
? Her forecastle was insufficient, thus she took on water at the bow through ventilation shafts, which weighed her down and led to the domino effect of the hatches giving way to abnormal water loads.
Hypothetically, yes. Seems more a case that ships just aren't designed for conditions like this. Plus, since there was no distress signal, she could have encountered a rogue wave.
@@mgmg116 Reviews of the accidents says it would have taken 2 minutes to sink, they wouldn't have know they had taken water in the front until that wave. When your ship is blowing up apart from pure water and air pressure, it's hard to do a distress call! That is, if anyone is close enough to hear.
@@kuhaku9587 It only tooo two minutes to sink once the ship passed the point of no return, but it took some time to get to that point.
And ships have automatic high water alarms (as well as fire alarms) but that's beside my point.
I was implying a rogue wave put them down.
@@mgmg116 that’s not the case, it is conclusive that the bow hatch came free. These are cape ships, designed for extreme weather like this.
@@thesupertendent8973 Designed for extreme weather? Yes.
Designed to withstand rogue waves? Absolutely not.
Oceangoing vessels are by and large constructed to the 25-year stress, and the stress rating is based on the linear wave model which anticipates the largest breaking waves a vessel is likely to encounter at 10 meters, which would be a breaking force of 15 metric tons per square meter.
That's why the hatch came free. It was designed to withstand a max of 15t/m2, but she easily encountered 15-20m seas, far beyond her 25-year stress.
Even a vessel constructed to 50-year stress can be put down by a sufficiently tall rogue. We can't measure it directly because we don't have measuring tools that could withstand the force, but it's estimated a 30-meter rogue would generate well over 150t/m2.
Chilling
It just an animation
But I'm shaking 🥺
RIP crew 😥
It was so massive compared to any other Ship lost at sea
May God bless their souls.
May you find piece in your fairytale.
I may not believe in god but I agree R.I.P
@@twiztedclown you will meet your creator sooner or later. Mark my words.
@@omarbaba9892 well at least your respectful about it. Thanks for not being an absolute ass about it unlike others.
There is no god. God is a superstition. Death is the final answer to a temporary speck of an existence
Where can I watch the full episode?
What's wrong with heading south? A cyclone rarely moves from Japan southwards, starts at the equator moving northwards.
Hello, Who would we reach out to regarding licensing footage from this film? Thanks,
Aneesa
6:25. "We're losing her! We're gonna lose her!"
I was looking for this video
Well you found it and what?
@@Your2TiminEx 😂😂😂
Very sad
Sailed with an ab in blue star line who was on her when liverpool bridge and he said she was jinxed.
I can't believe those monstrous waves swallowed MV Derbyshire
Means to say cannot defeat Mother Nature
look up a youtube video called:
"the ocean is deeper than you think"
The brige should be its own boat that can disconnected opon sinking .
they must make a movie like the perfect storm
They same should be done to the greatest of all ore carriers: Edmund Fitzgerald
@@michaelbenitez539 In what possible way was she the "greatest of all ore carriers"? Twat.
@@blowingfree6928 You're in a good mood
@@Busrider804Ha, Benevolence is my middle name!!
Even in this day and time the sea can still be as deadly God 🙏 the crew of Derbyshire may they rip
It ends just as the most important part was happening.
I hope all three weather stations got together after this. At least two of them screwed up.
The ship had sunk due to the air vent caps being shredded off after days of violent seas
I'm just now figuring out its pronounced darbysure instead of derbyshire?
darby shire yes
I wonder how they made the affects of the Derbyshire? They looked pretty good for TV affects.
*effects
a horrible tragedy
2 minutes that's all it took, when they went to see the wreck, they saw the ship ripped itself apart with the pressure inside it causing explosions.
Underhill from the (Derby) shire..
Well done dramatization, frightening. We get the picture, with 44 lives lost to the sea, nor more of an ending or further footage was required.
“Darby-sure”
“Derbyshire”
What?
whats with these ship's sinkin with ore on em
I was just gonna say, The Fitz, The Derbyshire. They all had Iron Ore onboard.
Also - the VLOC Stellar Banner most recently. Might be something to do with the dead weight of ore perhaps, and the stresses these heavy masses places on these very long ships? And they absolutely all seem to plummet like lead pipes filled with stones when they sink.
They ride very low in the water when fully loaded. All the time, they are designed to handle this kind of storm.
Is the Derbyshire the largest shipwreck ever? The only ship I've heard of that was larger which sunk was in shallow enough waters to be recovered.
Are you talking about the Edmund Fitzgerald?
@@Grahf0This oil tanker which was salvaged.
The Oil tanker is still at the bottom
I was talking about the MV Derbyshire
Oh.........
Nevermind
Is there wreck pictures, I can’t find any
There are videos but this ship went down in water that makes the titanic look like its in shallow water.
Must have gone down quick
2 minutes. Terrifying.
El Faro, Edmund Fitzgerald and MV Derbyshire have more or less similar story
Well, the Fitz is my favorite ship and the Derbyshire went flying to the 2nd place rn (I love bulk/ore carriers, don't judge me). Never heard about El Faro tho, gonna search about it.
@@tiagoalves2996 There was a storm in ocean which changed course too. Everything went wrong for El Faro. Its exactly how Fitz and Derbyshire happened.
@@aagosgoswami el faro was down to the captains stupidity. Derbyshire couldnt have been prevented
Compared to what they’ve experienced ive sailed on just calm seas
They were sailing in the middle of a typhoon. Nothing like those monstrosities.
Those days the public was pleased to stand-up to a whitewash from the government. A competent Captain was remarkable here of a man-made ship and one's decisive sick opportunity to headway through mother nature.
What was apparent as early on the newer bulk carrier yet unchallenged to the disaster and seafarer!
The far-eastern ocean approach therefore was a let-down to nearby coast-guard authorities' to the exact location when this Typhoon hit and/ or would strike the ship of course its destination of the port.
For sure, what was a ship's plan and also looking through historical context this ship imploded and exploded whilst your belief was viewing. A captain is under pressure from the weather elements and/ or the ship's delivery on time?!? All this led further was the advancement of technology and a higher level of safety to seafarers and for the sake of human life at sea.
I did question how on earth there were three different weather reports to the concern headway through this storm?
These obvious signs say only a man would risk the loss of seafarers with the importance of life over ships operation and sea lanes. This decisive opt' instead was the closest opportunity to portray any man from a disaster speaking.
What was misleading of the chief officer of the time was this respect of a captain, yet said 'the people's person through explicit commands'. It feared going against the mechanical ship lane slow to speak.
From this Video it appears the Captain wanted to pass ahead of the Typhoon. If so, Fatal mistake. He should have passed behind it.
Is it usual to have three different weather reports?
They didn't even know where it was due to 3 conflicting location reports... He had to guess the storm's location and path.
We were sailing from the Caribbean to Europe (oil tanker ) hurricane Ginger lay in our path . The skipper changed course a number of times and so did the hurricane. Despite our efforts to avoid it we went through it. Passing through the eye was unique. Still had the monstrous waves and lighting but for about 15 mins no wind. That was scary. The sound was there no wind. 15 mins later we were back in the wind. The fore deck was awash permanently. Was it scary yes. But it’s worse it the VLCC I sailed in later.
I watched this along time ago
These type of bulk carrier is a Capsize Bulk Carrier the MV DERBYSHIRE
Thanks alot you jerks ya cut it short n' tell me that I have to watch the full episode on Quest so when I go there it says Not Available in my Region what the hell is that about ya jerks lol :) :) :) besides I was really interested
seriously dude..... They really got me excited and then thud...
JB Robertson there’s another better quality documentary on RUclips, I’ve posted the link in my comment above yours on the main comments section. Contains more details and interviews with investigators.
Moron metric system.
Better than imperial lol
