It’s you who attracted the subscribers. It’s interesting to see what you find but there are many choices of mudlarks who we can watch finding similar things. The way you present everything and the stories you tell about them along with your personality and wit that keeps us coming back and telling our friends to check you out. Doesn’t hurt that your smile is like sunshine to our souls.
Nicola you're far more than a "Mudlark" you're an archaeologist and historian of the river Thames and an Artist supreme .More than this you're a great teacher and educator who enthralls me with every vlogl you make . So thank you so much I love your vlogs. Stay safe.Cheers from Canada
Thank you for you and your channel. Im a very active guy normally but i am going thru a very rough patch in my life with a injured back. Waighting for surgery. Watching your show makes me feel like im out there with you and helps me forget the pain as long as i don't move ,breath , heaven forbid i cough lol. But you take me away from this and give me a break while keeping me interested. That is better than gold and for this im greatfull .so thank you and please don't stop because ill be watching. Good luck. Hope you find the key's to the castle.lol
I just had a spinal fusion about 10 weeks ago here in Northern California. Nicola has helped keep me sane. I was laid up for months prior to Covid 19. Surgery was good albeit a bit weird during Covid. So, keep your chin up! I am beginning to feel better than I have in 25 years! I wish the same for you. Best of luck!
Here in NYC there was a similar accident on the East River in about 1905 called the General Slocum Disaster. Instead of a collision the boat caught fire during a Sunday pleasure outing and something like a thousand people died. There is a marble memorial fountain in Tompkins Square Park .
Then there is the SS Eastland that capsized in the Chicago River early 1900s, killing 800 or so. Sadly, it was taking families to a company picnic somewhere, mostly lower class employees who couldn’t afford vacations.
@@geslinam9703 - The Eastland was one of three steamers employed to carry employees of the Western Electric Company from Chicago to Michigan City, Indiana for a company picnic. The disaster occurred on July 25, 1915, on the Chicago River between Clark and Lasalle Streets.
I walk on past Tripcock Point on a pretty regular basis, although I confess I neither knew the name, nor of the disaster. That's what I love about the Thames, you're always so close to history.
Congratulations on 91,000 subscribers!!! That George II coin is a stunning find with do much detail -a nice find indeed!!! Such a sad story of the Princess Alice, I remember my late Dad telling me of the night of the disaster. I did know of the cross in Woolwich Cemetery, sad sad and weathered with some letters barely legible against the winds of time, I wonder how much it would cost to have this important memorial cleaned and restored in memory of those who perished and for the history of the local story. I'd certainly contribute to such a fund for the memorial to be restored and for a restoration of the plaque, now faded that marks the disaster on the thames, if a fundraising scheme could be set up.
@@nicolawhitemudlark Definitely something should replace the faded plaque, if a fundraising campaign that is needed to replace it I would be more than happy to get onboard and help out ❤ x
@@nicolawhitemudlark YES...PLEASE DO!!!! This is important. If "the council" needs funds for this very worthy project. We can do a fund-raiser here on your channel. No-doubt, the required cash will be quickly realized. Kindest regards, Ben
I love that you don't take everything you find. You're leaving treasures for future mudlarkers to discover! The sound of the river is so relaxing, reminds me of the ocean! Thank you for the history of the Princess Alice disaster.
Nicola, thank you for sharing this tragic tail of the many lives lost in the crash and sinking of the Princess Alice. I think its a good thing that you pointed out there were those who survived the crash and sinking itself only to die from being poisoned by the nasty waters of the Thames. It seems to have provided a push to clean up the river. Being from Texas, Id never heard this awful disaster. Im grateful you did this video in memory of those poor souls-Thanks again😞🙏
I did look at the vid closely, and your long stemmed pipe, was already snapped. The stem on the bowl end was already black all the way through. The Geo II coin was remarkable shape! Thank you for sharing all the history! I enjoy your presentations immensely.
This is the second mudlarking vlog today that has left me in tears. The Northern Mudlarks also had a sad ending to their vlog. Thank you for being so information. It's people like you who keep history alive. Best to you, Jane, Philadelphia
My partners relations was some of the family that died in that tragic accident. The worst part about it was that they had a little girl aged 6. and all they ever found of that little girl was one of the little blue shoes was found washed up on the shore. Nice to see they are remembered to this day. Thank you Nicola.
I shall hold in my heart those deeply personal and painful memories as long as I draw breath. Thank you for sharing that which couldn't have been easy, whether they were related to you or not
The George II , such beautiful condition, his styling is very ancient Rome/Greece. The long pipe, what a shame, but that mud was so clay and dense. I remember you showing the pipe with the little horse mark before and when you mentioned the heel mark, it was the first thing I thought of. THank you for a nice morning out and , as always, vital history to keep
The sinking of Princess Alice, with all those lost lives, was dreadful, a horrible way to die. You told it so sympathetically. As always I loved the music, singing, your mudlarking finds and photography. 😊 Thank you.
Nicola Thank you so much for the history of the ferry 'The Princess Alice' and also to the band to allow you to play their wonderful song. As a kiwi in NZ I had never heard of this disaster. That sign about the disaster that is no long legible.... should be replaced ASAP with a new updated sign. The cemetery statue can also be cleaned up and lettering repainted to look new again... (we have groups in NZ that volunteer to do that to old headstones) Can you contact The Lord Mayor of London or the local council in the area... as no disaster should ever be forgotten... as there must be people still around today, who were related to those that perished on 3rd September back 142 years ago... Rest in Peace who all who died on that day.
Thank you for letting us know about this in such a interesting way. I love all the tales you uncover with your finds. Thank you for sharing this wonderful hobby with us. ♡
What a beautiful tribute to all the poor souls lost in the Princess Alice, a story I’ve never heard of. Thank you Nicola for keeping the memory alive of this horrendous accident
The knife is not from the USMC. It's just decoration, possibly licensed by them, but not given to marines as kit. Boker is a decent brand, but I don't think its one of their higher end pieces.
THANK YOU for sharing the story, history & the song of The Princess Alice. A very heart-touching account of the tragedy. Your visit to the cemetery memorial to pay your respect to these largely forgotten souls is a wonderful action on your part. Respectfully, Ben
The Princess Alice Disaster was truly horrendous. I imagine such a terrible incident would have inspired new legislation around keeping ships safe on the river.
@@nickbea3443, that was a modern disaster and very tragic. Unfortunately it takes tragedies such as these to change laws around passenger numbers, fire safety regulations etc.
Oh my stars, Nicola 😕💔. How terribly tragic is the story of the Princess Alice's sinking. I can't imagine the horrific sounds or sights anyone who might have witness this beheld. And the poor boatman who did the body recovery must have just been haunted for years😕😟. The cross memorial with it's homage to the lost souls is quite beautiful and evocative of what a great tragedy and lose of life this was. No worries on the clay pipe😉. It's a miracle in itself that you didn't find it in quite a few pieces already. It probably had a hairline crack, or quite possibly the mud was holding it together in that spot before you found it🤷🏼♀️. But it's fixed now and is really a stunning example 🙌👍. Thank you for the compilation and the swan 🦢 "standoff". They are amazingly beautiful and graceful creatures. I never get tired of watching videos with them included 🥰. 🤗 virtual hugs to you, sister-friend. Stay safe and healthy 👋🙋🏼♀️.
Loved everything you found and shared, Nicola! You are sooo amazing and knowledgeable! It is wonderful and fascinating, both, watching and listening to you! The George II coin and the emerald earring were both amazing! ( : Horribly sad story about The Princess Alice Disaster! God rest all their poor lost souls. So kind of you keeping the story alive! September 3, 1993 is youngest daughter's birthday!
I watch many mud larking, metal detecting videos since the Pandemic! I always save yours for the end of my viewing because I know it will be excellently done and very informative! Thank you for all the work you do to make these videos! Also, I wouldn’t have been able to leave the pierce of wood! Cindy🌸🌸🌸
Just watched this 4 months later...what a bright, spunky, beautiful light you are to show us the banks of the Thames during these dark times here in the US. I miss travelling for my job (Flight Attendant)...to France, Britain and Germany! Thank you so very much.
I just watched one of your old videos and at the close it showed your studio and glimpses of a couple of collages, one of pipes and stems. I'd love to see any collages you still have on hand. Love all your shows and thank you for your time and art.
What a horrible tragedy about the Princess Alice and all the lost people!!! It really does need to be remembered. Beautiful finds...can't even decide which is my favorite.
Nicola perhaps your viewers could contribute to revamping the sun bleached sign at the Princess Alice site. I would love to help and I’m sure others would as well. ❤️
Brilliant film, that coin was an amazing find and in such good condition. the sad story of the Princess Alice was horrible accident that I've never heard of. Thank you Nicola.
Great finds 👍 love the little clip on earring, hope it's emeralds ☺ Moving history of the Princess Alice , thank you for your amazing videos, take care xx
Thank you for always sharing your journey ! I loved the spoon ! Kind of looked like an ancient figure holding a box with a flame in it !! Let us know if your research it farther!
Incredible what I learned today as you magically described the tragedy of The Princess Alice. I'm glad I didn't miss this in my 76 years. Thank You so much for the enlightenment!
Just discovered your channel. This is so amazing. The thing that made me drop my jaw was how the piece of human jaw bone with teeth was a "ho-hum, drop it back", but the coin was all "Whoo-hoo whee!!". Are there just so many human remains in the Thames mud you just don't have the means to deal with all, or any, of it? I guess all those British mysteries with dog walkers finding bodies got me thinking everyone drops everything when any human thing appears. :) Anyways, brilliant channel and amazing art you make out of it. I'm sure you've heard this before, but I wish I could do something like this. :)
A very touching tribute to the lost souls on the Princess Alice. Makes you think how lucky folks are today compared to that far off occurrence. Thank you for that. ❤️✝️🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
The pottery finds with little pictures are my favourite 😍 I find little bits with patterns and flowers here in the South West, but I've never found a piece with people or animals. Must get my permit and head to London!
Ps. Thank you for your story of the Princess Alice. I shed a tear for all the poor mothers trying desperately to hold the precious children up in the stinking river. Truly heartbreaking 😔
Beautiful views of Greenwich, congratulations on the 91,000 xx btw do you get help with cleaning the studio ? Fascinating about the Princess Alice, SO tragic
Very sad story .i remember hearing about this at school and the badly polluted river .so similar to the marchioness disaster in august 1989 .51 died mostly under 30 sad waste of lives
I met someone who survived the Marchioness Disaster. Was below & managed to take deep breath & hold it untill they could slip out through a split in the side of the ship. They put their survival down to having practised Ki Breathing as a practitioner of Ki Aikido.
Lovely that you left some flowers Nicola. And it's very special to be able to learn of these events and remember those who died. It's a terrible thing that happened but good to know that there are people who make sure that the victims aren't forgotten.
I can remember the princess Alice story from my childhood. My history teacher at primary school liked to do an off piste history lesson now and again. When I saw the images of the ship being hit by the coal ship it came flooding back. A very sad happening. Amazing when these sorts of things fade from memory and even history. Almost worst than the Titanic.
the sewage being inhaled probably wasn't nearly as bad a problem as the foul water being ingested while the people fought to stay afloat in the water, probably a good many who survived initially contracted illnesses like typhus or dysentery and succumbed.
Just found your channel in the last hour, this is so cool! I love it! I'm planning on moving to nova scotia and it would b a dream to do this there! Edit: thanks for the swan stand off! I live in Stratford Ontario (Canada) and we have some swans from the Queen, that we put in the Avon river every summer but their wings are clipped so I've never seen them fly!
Thanks Nell! I love watching the swans here. They are real characters! They all have their own little section of the Thames. Good luck with your move x
Thank you so much for the wonderful “show” this week, Nicola. We are all amazed that you can spot such tiny objects in the muck. Scratching around really pays off for you sometimes. Keep doing it. That earring would have looked spectacular in its heyday. I wondered what those swans were doing at first, all fluffed up with heads invisible. They are very territorial. It must be mating season. Is that lovely instrumental music played by Your son? It really does make your site the best out of the lot, along with the wildlife clips and the very intriguing narration you offer. I, for one, am amazed how quickly those pipes fade back to beige, and how those long thin ones aren’t smashed to bits over the centuries. Nature truly is marvellous! Thanks again for a great video.

Ah, yes, you might notice the blank sign. That's the spot where it happened
there are no markings on Google Earth.
Locals used to call Tripcock Point "The Devil's Elbow." I'm not sure if it was in response to the Princess Alice Disaster.
Congratulations on 91,000 subscribers!!!

The knife is not from the USMC. It's just decoration, possibly licensed by them, but not given to marines as kit. Boker is a decent brand, but I don't think its one of their higher end pieces.
on sale for 10 pounds normally 20 pounds I didn't know Boker made anything that cheap.

I met someone who survived the Marchioness Disaster. Was below & managed to take deep breath & hold it untill they could slip out through a split in the side of the ship. They put their survival down to having practised Ki Breathing as a practitioner of Ki Aikido.
Lovely that you left some flowers Nicola. And it's very special to be able to learn of these events and remember those who died. It's a terrible thing that happened but good to know that there are people who make sure that the victims aren't forgotten.
Boker is a good knife manufacturer in Germany. They have good blades and hold up well.
Thank you for telling us about the Princess Alice tragedy and following it up with a visit to the cemetery.
I can remember the princess Alice story from my childhood. My history teacher at primary school liked to do an off piste history lesson now and again. When I saw the images of the ship being hit by the coal ship it came flooding back. A very sad happening.
Amazing when these sorts of things fade from memory and even history.
Almost worst than the Titanic.
yes, very sad and so unexpected. and actually not all that long ago really
I love how the swans start running when they land :) Keep up the great work Nicola
Congrats on 91000👍 amazing how George II looked better after 250+ years in Thames mud than it would have after just a few years of circulation 🍺
yes, very unexpected!!
We love you videos you have such a wonderful personality and you are very knowledgeable. Hello from Michigan USA 🇺🇸
the sewage being inhaled probably wasn't nearly as bad a problem as the foul water being ingested while the people fought to stay afloat in the water, probably a good many who survived initially contracted illnesses like typhus or dysentery and succumbed.
Never tire of watching the birds and listen to the wind such a delight
Come on we need to get it to 100k! Let everyone know peeps!👍🏻
Thanks Steven!
Great story telling, thank you.
I loved the George coin, and also the BATTLE SWANS
Thank you
Beautiful tribute, Nicola, thank you for remembering the past.
Just found your channel in the last hour, this is so cool! I love it! I'm planning on moving to nova scotia and it would b a dream to do this there!
Edit: thanks for the swan stand off! I live in Stratford Ontario (Canada) and we have some swans from the Queen, that we put in the Avon river every summer but their wings are clipped so I've never seen them fly!
Thanks Nell! I love watching the swans here. They are real characters! They all have their own little section of the Thames. Good luck with your move x
@@nicolawhitemudlark thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the wonderful “show” this week, Nicola. We are all amazed that you can spot such tiny objects in the muck. Scratching around really pays off for you sometimes. Keep doing it. That earring would have looked spectacular in its heyday. I wondered what those swans were doing at first, all fluffed up with heads invisible. They are very territorial. It must be mating season. Is that lovely instrumental music played by Your son? It really does make your site the best out of the lot, along with the wildlife clips and the very intriguing narration you offer. I, for one, am amazed how quickly those pipes fade back to beige, and how those long thin ones aren’t smashed to bits over the centuries. Nature truly is marvellous! Thanks again for a great video.

Love your video!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Sheila! x
I’d like to say how much I enjoy these I was over there in the mid-80’s on tour with Joe Cocker we had no time to learn much of your history!
