As a Aussie I couldn't care less how people pronounce anything Australian, there are way more important things happening in the world to worry about petty things like that.
It would be great if added in were her two sisters also disappeared without a trace under similar conditions! With a good word in for sister 4, being the US’s first carrier USS Langley, lost instead by Japanese action
My father, who passed in 2004, was stationed in Gloucester, MA on the Coast Guard Cutter General Greene during the Korean War. He was an avid mariner of both freshwater and ocean adventures for the rest of his life. I discovered your channel recently and I have to say, if my dad was still alive, he would be an avid listener. Your channel reminds me of my childhood and young adulthood, listening to my dad's tutelage. Please keep up the great work.
I'm new to the channel within the last month or so and I love your stuff. I can totally relate to your affinity for British RUclipsrs because I love listening to the accents and I'm also subbed to Drach. I'd love to see you two collaborate.
There is no answer to any questions here and no way to connect with this fake man good luck to get out or congratulations on being brain washed! Good day
I really enjoy your channel, you are very clear and methodical. I would say don't sweat the pronunciation too much, we can't know everything about everything. Lastly, in regards to the Essex, "Ask a Mortician" has a truly unsettling account from her professions point of view. Thank you for the hard work and care you devote to this channel.
Would be cool to hear a description of old maritime navigation...I saw a doc on pirates and they went into detail about how hard it was to navigate in the 1700's
You're doing way too much navel-gazing. Your work is outstanding and needs no defense. Ignore the whiners and keep entertaining the rest of us, please.
The ASVAB isn't mandatory, but many high school guidance departments pretend it is, presumably under pressure from the recruiters assigned to their schools. This is part of a larger pattern of predatory recruiting in high schools that has been going on for decades. (The First Gulf War happened during my senior year of high school, and I'll tell you what, those guys were _visibly desperate_ at my school that year--particularly the one from the Air Force, for some reason.)
I adored your videos on the Bradley and the a Fitz. My step-dad (and his dad) worked on the lakes for decades (American Spirit, Indian Harbor, and others). I got to visit his cabin with my family ONCE when he was in port, it was very cool to walk thru a working ship. After he passed I got a summer job as a tour guide on the William A. Irvin. These videos were fascinating and I would love to hear more episodes about Great Lakes wrecks. Great work, shipmate!
I remember the drunken sailor music, from when I was in middle school, and we were forced to watch the voyage of the Mimi, and after the coursework, we visited a Maritime museum, for class, and the actual captain of the Mimi, talked to us and shared stories. But what I remember was him playing the guitar, and asking all of us to come up with new verses to the tune, in similar sailer fashion, where everyone was part of a certain place in history... It was memorable, and one of the reasons I'm here. So thanks for the background tune.
Glad to see more Maritime Content popping up in general. Being a Haze Grey Sailor myself I'm always interested in how ships sink and the stories of the crews on em. Praying my boat doesn't end up on this channel of course. Good stuff shipmatey
I have never been on the ocean and have no desire to do it. That being said I enjoy your work because I love history. My grandfather served in WW2 in the Navy and I enjoyed his stories.
100k subscribers you say? Well, considering you posted this yesterday and you’re already up by 10k, I guess we’ll be getting that video in like a week!
My interest has began to stir me back to working on my charter ticket. I have really enjoyed the content as well as the explanation of maritime definitions.Great Job!
Much like you, I joined the USCG because I wanted to save lives, not take lives... helping my fellow Americans. I joined just prior to 9/11... a big part of my decision was I wanted a "job that mattered" and I could do every day, not just train for. Anyhow, long story short. Served from 2001-2010. Stationed aboard CGC Mellon (WHEC 717), GCG Harry Claiborne (WLM 561), CGC Skipjack (WPB 87353), CGC George Cobb (WLM 564), CGC Munro (WHEC 724) & ISC San Pedro, CA. Always was fascinated by the 'ol Storyteller CGC Alex Haley, but never did have the opportunity to visit her anytime I was in Kodiak. BZ on the channel shipmate.
Meah, we are used to it, Aussies pronounce things a lot differently to Americans. Oh, and it's not "kook-(as in kooky) a-burra" it's "cook (as in what you do in the kitchen)-a-burra" 🙂
Just found your channel over the weekend, and subscribed. Great history packed videos. Keep them coming. Any plans of doing a video on the SS Daniel J. Morrell?
Ok, I’ve just watched every video on the channel in 24 hours - superb work, these are excellent productions. Love the script writing and the artwork. Only thing that threw me a bit was one the highly dynamic background around the 6 min mark in the Franklin episode - found it really distracting. Looking forward to more content 👍🏻
I was stationed on USCGC Long Island for the year of 2007. So cool that you are doing these videos and my coast guard story is similar to yours. I always love to hear about the Coast Guard and the acts performed in the line of duty. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your videos and hope to hear more about your time in Alaska because that was my favorite duty station. Fair winds and following seas to you shipmate.
For most dangerous waters, I would think the Southern Ocean. I have seen Deadliest Catch and the waves are up there with the biggest I have seen on video.
I have a burning question, what do you do for a job now? Something on sea? I am now in STC school and I believe I want to go to the engineering side on a ship. But not sure about that yet I think navigation is rlly cool as wel.
I remember watching the video of this during basic shipboard firefighting school. Haven’t noticed if he did a video on it but would love to revisit that story.
I just found you like a week or two ago. I'm already subscribed to way too many channels, but I enjoyed your videos so much I had to add one more! Lol! 🤣😂 I'm so glad you did this. It was the Edmund Fitzgerald that I watched first. Then another great lakes one I forgot the name of and then a 3rd video as well. I didn't comment on any of them but felt the need, the desire to comment here. Mostly to tell you I appreciate the amount of research and time and effort you put into your videos. Even though I've studied the Fitz a great deal already, I still learned something new from your video. And that, my friend, means you did amazing! You're doing amazing work on this channel and I look forward to watching more as time allows. I'm always way behind on videos because again, I'm subbed to way too many channels. But yours is one I'm not willing to miss. Might take a few days to get to it, but every new video you post, I'll be sure to watch. There are some channels I just have to skip sometimes and I feel bad about it, but overcommitment is a real thing.... Anyway, have a fantastic day! Also, what is your name??? Only if you don't mind sharing, of course. 🙂🙂🙂
You mentioned standing QMOW, knowing coasties don’t have QMs anymore I’m gonna assume you are/where a BM, I’m a BM in the navy. I just found your channel and I’ve been on a binge watching them. Keep ‘em coming!
As your 50th or so subscriber. It sucks that I missed this, but answer hear: what is your favourite ship? Also do you want to be in my titanic documentary?
Good thing there was not a Danish ship called "Rød grød med fløde" that went down so you needed to make a story about that. I don't even think google would be able to help you out there :)
I get you-I’m an artist, but also work in healthcare. I wouldn’t ever go FT artist. My art is mostly for my fun. As soon as I _have_ to do a project, I don’t want to anymore. Then it’s just work.
Don't apologize for being american we're the only ones that even make an effort to pronounce other languages correctly anybody else would've said it wrong then mocked it when corrected
first of all love your videos and your channel. second another suggestion for the list :D. The tragic tale of the sailor Tjark Evers a man who mistook sandbank for the island of Baltrum in the rising flood of the german north sea and got stranded he wrote a farewell letter while the sea level rose and put it inside a cigar box which was found later. i know it doesn't really fit next to all the storys of sinking ships but its still a wonderful and tragic story have a great day.
A channel you should check out is Historic Travels. He just passed 57k. He does Titanic videos and other boats. He goes live every Sunday at 7:30 PM Eastern Time.
Excellent job on these videos; I find them better than the stuff dished out on TV. These stories got me interested in maritime incidents. Question: What's the name of the background music you use in your videos? (I don't mean Drunken Sailor)
Awesome video! Would you consider doing a video series into the Proteus class colliers? Possibly the most unlucky class of ships in history. Maybe even about USS Langley post conversion.
You mentioned that you have a long list of ships to do. Hopefully the Daniel J. Morrel is on your list. You have done the Edmond Fitzgerald and the Carl D. Bradley. So the Daniel J. Morrel would make the perfect trilogy for the Great Lakes in November. As well as give you a different Great Lake for each sinking. The Fitz in Superior, The Bradley in Michigan and the Morrel in Huron.
Would you be interested in talking more about your Bering Sea stories? I grew up watching episodes of Deadliest Catch and it would be pretty cool if you can talk about any stories while you were on station. PS. It doesn't have to be anything too exciting, could even be mundane day to day stories.
Just found your channel and absolutely love it! Am a sailor from Cornwall, England. If you are looking for some terriyfing stories, have a look at the Western Rocks of the Isle of Scilly
I knew I liked you. Semper Paratus my friend, from a Coast Guard kid. Is there a plan to do a video on the SS Pendleton and subsequent Coast Guard rescue?
I myself have been studying the Falklands War from 1982. Knew nothing about it until watching a seconds from disaster episode about the sinking of the hms Coventry. If you’re considering doing one that took place during this largely forgotten war, the Coventry would be a good choice, though I do believe the horror aspect would go to the Argentine ship: general belgrano. Think uss Indianapolis meets titanic, albeit with not as high a death toll you’d expect. Well, good luck.
Hi. Linguist here. You are being way too hard on yourself for your pronunciation. No one can expect you to be able to pronounce words form every other language out there, and those who complain about it could probably need a healthy dose of self reflection. Some languages have a lesser variety of sounds than others and thus speakers of those languages will have a greater difficulty pronouncing languages with greater variety. This is simply because a different set of muscles and positions are used to produce the sounds. If you're not a dancer, a short walkthrough wont help you nail a complicated dance. It takes practice. Speech is a dance of your mouth/tongue/throat and it needs practice to improve, like any other skill. Now, rant over. Your content is great and it's amazing to find a channel like this with great quality videos and deep knowledge behind the scenes. Thank you for making these vids! Although I'd never get on a boat myself, I'm strangely fascinated by it.
You should do a video on the USS Nathaniel Greene(ssbn 636) it hit a sea mount in 1986 in the Irish sea. My dad was a mess officer when it ran aground. Then two months later another sub did basically the same thing.
I’d love to see anything about the hundreds of ship wrecks around grand manan island, I’ve had a map of a lot, but no all, of them up on my wall for some time now. I’ve tried doing some research but sadly the ones I’ve researched didn’t have much information, perhaps you would have more luck, but I won’t feel hurt if you don’t have the time, either way thanks for the great content.
Mate, in the great tradition of being a sailor, you managed to butcher a few proper nouns. We forgive in advance. It is not as if you managed to follow the other closely associated tradition of totally renaming a place, or something 🤣.
Will you be covering the Essex? Loved Ask A Mortician's video on it (part of her trilogy of cannibalism), so would love to see what you do with the story.
Speaking of tests and studying, I have a test today and I'm watching this instead of studying. Its got some WW1 stuff which I know well. Will go watch Oversimplified WW1 or something.
5:24 I can’t see anyone reacting that way to an educational video about it. Personally (though obviously I’m not actually one of them) I’d be glad to know more people knew about it and the names of those lost. I mean that’s just me though
I'm also an Aussie and I there is far more important things in the world than pronunciation in a youtube video. But please know Melbourne is pronounced 'Mel-burn' not like Jason Bourne.
Hello, my wonderful son! Thank you so much for the shoutout! I think you’re pretty awesome too! Love Mom 🤗
Thanks Mom! Love you! ♥️

Hey mom, you raised a guy who comes across as a really great one.
As a Aussie I couldn't care less how people pronounce anything Australian, there are way more important things happening in the world to worry about petty things like that.
i just find it really funny tbh
Yeah damn arent you guys still completeley locked down?
@@benwilsonMMA not in Melbourne, lol. Masks only needed on public transport and when you can't social distance inside.
@@benwilsonMMA I haven't been in lockdown at all during any of this, seems people need to stop listening to media for there 'facts'
@@bearcatracing007 I dont look at any media thats just what i heard lol i must be thinking of new zealand
Awesome! Please do a presentation on the USS Cyclops.
It would be great if added in were her two sisters also disappeared without a trace under similar conditions! With a good word in for sister 4, being the US’s first carrier USS Langley, lost instead by Japanese action
Yes. Even though we all know it was aliens

@@argylemcgoogin3298 what's your damage, or are you just miserable in general?
The coast guard has saved more American lives than all the other branches combined. They deserve more respect than they get.
I really enjoy your channel, you are very clear and methodical.
I would say don't sweat the pronunciation too much, we can't know everything about everything.
Lastly, in regards to the Essex, "Ask a Mortician" has a truly unsettling account from her professions point of view.

I feel like there's only one thing for me to say. I wasn't really into boats, then I watched a few of your videos, and now I think I'm into boats.
Would be cool to hear a description of old maritime navigation...I saw a doc on pirates and they went into detail about how hard it was to navigate in the 1700's

Fair winds and following seas to you
My question for the Q&A, if I can leave one here, is what got you into sea life? What got you interested in joining the coasties, what was your MOS
Obviously, a grunt. Landlubbers have MOS’s. Sailors have ratings.
Honestly if someone asked me if I was from “canadia” I’d just say “yup, that’s it, that’s where I’m from alright”
Thank you for the high quality and interesting content. Just followed the Twitter and I am excited to see how this community evolves! Best of luck!!
I adored your videos on the Bradley and the a Fitz. My step-dad (and his dad) worked on the lakes for decades (American Spirit, Indian Harbor, and others).

Comrade I can’t wait to see you with 100k probably my favorite video of yours was on the Edmund Fitzgerald so keep up the good work.
For your next Q&A: How many times have you watched Master and Commander?
Thank you for pronounccing Drachinifel, I was wondering.
Glad to see more Maritime Content popping up in general. Being a Haze Grey Sailor myself I'm always interested in how ships sink and the stories of the crews on em.
Praying my boat doesn't end up on this channel of course.
Good stuff shipmatey
I have never been on the ocean and have no desire to do it. That being said I enjoy your work because I love history. My grandfather served in WW2 in the Navy and I enjoyed his stories.
"Airplanes are magic to me" spoken like a true coastie! Whats your rate? I'm a BM
He mentions on another video that he drives boats. I'm guessing he's another knuckle dragger.

This channel deserves more.. very informative videos plus entertaining
As a Nova Scotian I implore you take a look at the grounding of SS Atlantic
Just found your channel over the weekend, and subscribed. Great history packed videos. Keep them coming. Any plans of doing a video on the SS Daniel J. Morrell?
I applaud your altruistic approach to patreon and life in general.
Thank you for being a good person. Semper Paratus.

Only thing that threw me a bit was one the highly dynamic background around the 6 min mark in the Franklin episode - found it really distracting. Looking forward to more content 👍🏻
Well, I stumbled upon this channel almost a year to late, but I'm glad I finally did. Great content, I got hooked up since the first video.
Welcome to 60k
Man, your channel really blew up fast, like very fast.
I was stationed on USCGC Long Island for the year of 2007. So cool that you are doing these videos and my coast guard story is similar to yours.

Would love to see you cover the MS Estonia.
Glad to be one of the few who got their question answered!
Thank you for interesting and wonderful shows 💖
For most dangerous waters, I would think the Southern Ocean. I have seen Deadliest Catch and the waves are up there with the biggest I have seen on video.
Maybe for the depressing videos you could have a bit at the end where you have a list of the fallen to honor them
I have a burning question, what do you do for a job now? Something on sea? I am now in STC school and I believe I want to go to the engineering side on a ship. But not sure about that yet I think navigation is rlly cool as wel.
Keep up the good work mate, looking foward for the next video, cheers
Have you thought about doing videos on the USS Thresher or USS Scorpion? I have relatives that were on both and always love hearing about it.
Awesome man can not wait but you gotta talk about the Britannic tomorrow is the anniversary of it sinking
USS Forrestal. An incident that completely changed how the Navy conducts training.
I remember watching the video of this during basic shipboard firefighting school. Haven’t noticed if he did a video on it but would love to revisit that story.
I think you're one of the only people on this site that talks about shipwrecks that isn't in the style of an over the top clickbait channel
That's almost exactly how I ended up in the CG. I talked to a recruiter, an AET1, and he sort of blew me off until I told him I wrote 87.
I suspect that being able to think quickly and accurately over a wide range of subjects would be very useful at sea.

How about a video on the Oceanos? One of the most terrifying sinkings... but no loss of life.
You doubled it in a month! Congrats!
I love your shows. I’d love an episode on the three trapped sailors on the USS West Virginia after Pearl Harbor.
much appreciated, good work

first of all love your videos and your channel. second another suggestion for the list :D. The tragic tale of the sailor Tjark Evers a man who mistook sandbank for the island of Baltrum in the rising flood of the german north sea and got stranded he wrote a farewell letter while the sea level rose and put it inside a cigar box which was found later. i know it doesn't really fit next to all the storys of sinking ships but its still a wonderful and tragic story have a great day.

Also what rate did you end up going?
Would you be interested in talking more about your Bering Sea stories? I grew up watching episodes of Deadliest Catch and it would be pretty cool if you can talk about any stories while you were on station.
PS. It doesn't have to be anything too exciting, could even be mundane day to day stories.
Bering Sea story:
You puke a lot.
I’d love to see an Examination of the capsizing of the MV Sewol.
Just found your channel and absolutely love it! Am a sailor from Cornwall, England. If you are looking for some terriyfing stories, have a look at the Western Rocks of the Isle of Scilly
When are you gonna do the USS Indianapolis? That one is probably one of the more disturbing sea stories ever heard. Fair winds and Following seas.
Highly enjoy the content on here. Would you be up for making a video on the Whiddy Island Disaster AKA the MT Betelgeuse?
I can see the bering sea, but think about the roaring 40s around Antarctica. The Roaring Forties.
I knew I liked you. Semper Paratus my friend, from a Coast Guard kid. Is there a plan to do a video on the SS Pendleton and subsequent Coast Guard rescue?
Waaay heeeyy up she rises!
I wonder if you would consider making a video on the Halifax Explosion? Thank you.
I myself have been studying the Falklands War from 1982. Knew nothing about it until watching a seconds from disaster episode about the sinking of the hms Coventry. If you’re considering doing one that took place during this largely forgotten war, the Coventry would be a good choice, though I do believe the horror aspect would go to the Argentine ship: general belgrano.

The Bering Sea was scary enough in September to me
Good call on the Boccherini for the music
12:50 no not required at least here in Texas but there are resources to take it through school if you want to
I would love to see a video about USS Johnston dd-557
You should do a video on the USS Nathaniel Greene(ssbn 636) it hit a sea mount in 1986 in the Irish sea. My dad was a mess officer when it ran aground. Then two months later another sub did basically the same thing.
Love the channel, just came off the cgc naushon out of homer!
Know a BMC Bowman? He got out recently but was up there on the Hickory.
I was on the Sedge...back in the 90's (180 in Homer).

Two comments one do one on the USS Cyclops. 2 check out Historical Travels. Sam has gotten much better in the last few months
Would you please do the USS Indianapolis? A lot of misinformation surrounding this ship and it's captain.
Speaking of tests and studying, I have a test today and I'm watching this instead of studying. Its got some WW1 stuff which I know well. Will go watch Oversimplified WW1 or something.
