Elinor, you have made me go down a rabbit hole. I saw the ice breaker at 1:37. I had to search it out It's the USCGC Healy. Did not know it was so old. I also did not known that it was based in Seattle. Same as the Polar Sea and Polar Star. I also did not know that it was heavier. I did know that it was lighter in the horse power. About half. You are driving me nuts with your videos. 😂😂😂.
My Dad was in Naval Pilot Training towards the end of the war. He enlisted, but the war ended before he got the chance to actually fly. Uncles weren't as lucky. Two joined the Marines and saw action in the Pacific. Another was a cook on the USS Lexington. Thanks for another great clip!
Damn! That's got to be frightening. Being a WWII pilot was another level of terrifying I'd never want to reach. I thank them all for their service! ❤️ Thank you for watching, great to see you!
There is a Duluth Minn. based YT channel about great lakes maritime travel. The great lakes closes to ships, usually, in the first week of November and just re-opened just a few days ago. The freighters have been taking to the lakes with a vengeance. Drach mentioned this lag time in his video, but I don't remember what exactly he said. The US military had a similar lag time when I served, using the time to send it's senior trainers into the field to requalify. I hated spending January and February living in a tent. Meeting a friend at a reunion, speaking on the experience, he said "The magic of living outdoors has been lost on me." I totally agreed.
Man! That would really ruin camping! I can only imagine. That is fascinating - I knew they closed down during the winter season, usually until about March or April!
Thank you so much, Miss, for creating this video. I wasn't familiar with this ship before, and I truly enjoyed it. Your work is excellent and amazing, as always👍👍👍
When you have watched Elinors videos weekly that you are able to say and the exact time she does, now before we get into her history let's check out her spec's 😂❤
@@shipwrecksunday heres two for ya that i found out while searching up ships, first we have the ss wolf islander II i believe i could be wrong about the ss bit and the next one is the ss keewatin
Elinor, have you ever covered detailed podcasts of the Kaiser Class ships? You know, Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, Kronprinzessin Cecile, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and so on? If not I'd really love to see a detailed video with interior pictures of each.
@@shipwrecksunday I have been researching Titanic and maritime history in general for the last 34 years of my life (I am 40 now) and I have always had a soft spot for the first true superliners (like Brunel's sadly-failed Great Eastern). The White Star Line and Cunard ships have all been detailed to death, but you NEVER see anyone really detailing the lives of the Kaiser Class. I've even had trouble finding many interior pictures of that class of ships, but I've read that they were truly beautiful inside. I never understood the two double stack arrangement, but maybe that's how they chose to differentiate themselves from the British ships (even though the British four stackers Lusitania and Mauretania weren't around until 1907 with the Aquitania following in 1913). The Germans (Albert Ballin included) really produced some beautiful liners in that era. The Kaiser Class, the Imperator (later Berengaria for Cunard hence the -ia suffix), Vaterland (later Leviathan for US Lines), the Bismarck (later Majestic for White Star hence the -ic suffix), and who could forget the ever-beautiful Bremen and Europa...even the Nazi "Strength Through Joy" cruise ships were beautiful and well designed. Still, the story of the Wilhelm Gustloff was a truly sad one for obvious reasons. The Germans always did their best to compete on the North Atlantic, but after the Imperator Class ships were seized Albert Ballin took an overdose of sleeping pills and left a note saying, "better an end with dread, than dread without end" after fearing torture and death by radicals of the First World War. A truly sad ending to the life of a man who created some truly wonderful ships, not to mention the idea of housing steerage passengers for a period of time up to the voyage to ensure that they would be able to pass the examinations at Ellis Island in New York Harbor (the immigrant's point of disembarkation where the US would inspect the immigrants for any less than desirable diseases or infestations before either allowing them into the US, or sending them back on the next ship). History is a really wonderful subject to learn. My 12 and 14 year old sons were going around our very small town in Western Pennsylvania today just seeing all of the historic buildings and researching our town's history. I have been researching history for the majority of my life and it's a truly interesting subject in my personal opinion.
Good video. One minor correction is that President Bush was only 18 when he trained as a pilot aboard the ship, the youngest naval aviator in history at the time.
Great job as always! I didn't hear about this ship or her sister, until you mentioned them your "preview" a few days before. I knew that President Bush 41 was a fighter pilot, but did not know that he trained on the USS Sable. Can't wait to hear about her sister ship. What is your opinion about the tragedy in Baltimore, sorry for the loss of life, and the families that still have loved ones unaccounted for. Sounds like it has a history itself, think you might cover it in the future?
Thank you so much! As for the tragedy in Baltimore, I've been watching it closely. I would like to talk about it at some point, but when more details are available as it's still fresh right now. I'm praying for the victims and their families! It's so horrible.
@@shipwrecksunday yes, it is very horrible. Just imagine what the scenario would be if it would've happened during the day, or worse yet, the morning or evening rush.
Thank you for the recognition but was totally unnecessary. You did a great job and learned even more than I knew before. The more I hear, the more I wonder if my great uncle was not on one of those ships. He was a pilot from the Lexington when she went down in the Coral Sea. The joke was, Save The Ice cream. Anyone in the know, would know that the aircraft carriers would pass out ice cream for downed pilots that were rescued. Sadly anyone that would know, in my family, has since passed. Age, not war. Drach had brought up the winter of 1944? and the ice on lake Michigan. I remember my mother speaking of this. I was born in Milwaukee. She said that you could walk a great distance out. More than before or since then. Drach had also stated that they brought in icebreaker/s. I am wondering if at least one was the USCGC Mackinaw. I have spoken about USCGC Mackinaw before. She was built so wide that she could not fit through the locks during WW II. This way the Russians could not ask to "borrow" her. She was one of the top five largest icebreakers in the world in 2000. Sticking with the US ships and great lake ships, I would love to hear more about the USCGC Mackinaw. Love your channel Elinor.
That's fascinating! I didn't know about the ice storm in 1944! Drach is incredibly knowledgeable and I always recommend checking out his videos, as well! I can only imagine being on the Lexington - that would be horrific and an ice cream would barely make that better! I'm so glad I could make this episode and thank you for your recommendation! Cheers, friend!
@@shipwrecksunday Was not an ice storm. Was a very cold winter that froze lake Michigan. This created more lake ice on Lake Michigan that had been seen before or since then. As for the ice cream. It was for the people that rescued you. Any ship that rescued pilots got ice cream. Aircraft carriers were the only ones that had ice cream. They would pass it out to the destroyers when they picked up pilots. Generally one gallon per pilot.
@@shipwrecksunday I am very sorry, I was not clear here. Save the ice cream was for the people that saved your behind. Not for you. I thought I had made that clear, my bad.

Apparently, me and Drachinifel were on the same page this week! 😂 Enjoy the videos from both channels!!
As a USN veteran, I found the episode very enjoyable,, Great job Elinor 👍
Thank you, Rick! And thank you for your service! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I look forward to seeing your video about the Exxon Valdez. I was 9 years old when it happened.
Thank you!! I was not yet alive but I was alive for BP.
@@shipwrecksunday If you want to cover another wrecked tanker, check out the SS Torrey Canyon.

Btw, when I say so old, that is not relative to me. The Polar Sea and Star are younger than I.😢😢😢
Lmao! You're welcome for the rabbit hole! 😉😂

I have not yet!
@@shipwrecksunday Drachinifel released a video about the Sable and Wolverine last Wednesday. They were fascinating and unique naval vessels.
