    Given how the people on shore behaved, I can see why perhaps the local Nova Scotian historians might be less inclined to talk much about this particular wreck. That may explain some of the relative dearth of scholarship on this one.

      It’s not just Nova Scotia though. I checked out the wiki article about Allan Shipping Line wiki site and although some of their ships that sank can be clicked on for information, the SS Indian isn’t one of them. Most of those listed aren’t clickable for more information so not sure if these ones were sold for scrap eventually?

      It’s more likely that it just wasn’t important. Ships sank all the time. Few ships from that time that have sunk are known. You’d really have to have someone write a book about it for it to be remembered. Or something else would have to happen for it to stick in public memory.

      @zombieshoot4318 I do agree on principle, however... The town was aware of the sinking... For the other ships commercially, of course... When they don't make port are reported "lost at sea".... In sum, I believe Winston Churchill said it best “Defeat is one thing; disgrace is another.”

    "Not that bad." - The captain was correct. Given the circumstances, the losses were much fewer than could have been. It may not be the best way to express it, but it's a fair assessment none the less.

      True. Especially after learning about how none of the women and children survived the Atlantic and the Clallam, I was expecting to see the same thing happen with the Indian here when all the women and children were put in that one lifeboat, so it was a huge relief to me that they managed to survive.

      I lately saw a documentary of Prince Eugene, the brilliant general fighting for Austria against the Ottomans in the decades before and after 1700. The historians combing through his and the contemporary generals' personal letters noticed that none of them mentioned the tens of thousands of soldiers who died, were crippled, or wounded showing the slightest hint of empathy. It reminded me of a colonel of the Marines who referred to his soldiers as materiél, and I told him that I did not want my son regarded in this way. Now I am thinking, It may be an attitude shared by other leaders such as captains as well. As a mother it breaks my heart.

      The SS Indian wasn't all that special in the grand scheme of things. She wasn't the fastest biggest most luxurious or most revolutionary of her time. People who aren't Maritime enthusiast like us tend not to remember those ships. Heck few people can even name even a single ocean liner that isn't Titanic. She wasn't like other noteworthy ships that met a tragic faith on those shores, like the ill faithed SS Atlantic a couple of decades later for example. She was just another ship, one of many on the Atlantic in her day.
      When all is said and done, the SS Indian was just another ship that met a terrible faith on a notoriously treacherous stretch of coast like many that came before or since. An awful tragedy make no mistake, but not one you should expect people to remember and commemorate for a century and a half.

    Out of curiosity, I checked out Allan Line. Quite a large number of ships over the decades. Came across one named after my home city. The SS Calgarian. Unfortunately sunk by a Uboat during WW1. Interesting to find out that Captain Henry Kendall was in command. The same Captain who was in command of the Empress of Ireland when she sank. Might be worth doing a video about him and the SS Calgarian.

    If this were any other channel, save for Oceanliner Designs or Big Old Boats, I would severely doubt the authenticity of some of the claims of the events of how this wreck transpired, although granted in the 1850s the way that people behaved comparatively to nowadays (or even a century later) was almost barbaric. Such as when a specific Collins liner sank, Cunard had a parade in celebration as one example I remember hearing. However, as per usual, Tom here uses all of the necessary language and ease of explaining context appropriately to make sure that the story is truthfully presented.
    I remain hopeful that we will find out more about this wreck in the future, and I'll lend a hand if necessary, however possible, to helping. But I don't have much faith that artifacts at this point aside from what's on the ocean floor will be recovered, maybe some museum/archive actually does have artifacts, but they dont even know it. Often everyone will think that there will be nothing left of something, but almost always when someone looks, there is more than expected at least it is worth the try, but I understand why no one would want to take you up on it.

      @stanislavkostarnov2157 Месяц назад +1

      I think the story of the scarf is very telling...
      the fact that a normal beautiful scarf of a migrant women was so much beyond a normal persons station in life that it is an immediate damming evidence against him... sort of like some radiant gem or a Porsche might be today.
      given that these were migrants, who came to compete with them from a higher economic weight category, I can see why the locals spared no loving thoughts for them and earnestly wished for their demise...
      also, by British Law at the time, had all on board died, the loot would have been fair game for all. (which is why, in some cases, you hear stories of survivors being thrown back into the sea or outright murdered)
      thankfully, these days, that loophole is mostly corrected.

    Thank you very much for this visually striking video Tom and Co., for putting together this fabulous re-telling of, as you say a all but forgotten Maritime Disaster on that dangerous stretch of Nova Scotia Coastline. I can't believe the looters! That's just low and indecent of human lives and a level of disrespect. Liked the jailhouse/museum and the fact that you always try to look for a marked site or graves but it seems on this occasion their is little to nothing left, which is really sad but at least you were able to shine a light on this tragic story. 😊❤⚓🚢🌊

    What was the general attitude towards ship wrecks during this time period? By this I mean were they regarded as shocking tragedies, or accepted as a normal part of life?
    Fantastic video!

    • @CPorter
      @CPorter Месяц назад +3

      I imagine it would have to be a mix of both. By and large people did very much care about wrecks, and wanted to prove that as many as possible. Often when one was bad enough, a lot of change occurred, either in terms of practices such as with how the looting threats were handled after the Indian like shown here, or in terms of landmarks being added such a lighthouses, after the Hungarian.
