Please don’t take this the wrong way but I fall asleep to your videos every night. The way you tell a story is entertaining and yet very soothing. I love it
The Thresher was a large part of why my father left the Navy after 17 years. He was on the Nautilus when this went down, but he had friends on the Thresher from nuclear power school. All I remember him really telling me was that the entire sub program had become a dangerous situation where safety took a backseat to everything else. So, the line about safety being written in the blood of those sailers is absolutely on point as far as I was told.
Same as dad’s Brother. He left saying the same. It was about having the media report the US fleet was unsinkable, plus a mad rush to build more thinking war with Russia was going to happen. Even the COLE showed how stupid the navy became allowing a small boat come near. It should have been blown out of the water within 300 meters out.
It seems like everyone hates the compilations, but i love them. I like longer form content and i dont mind rewatching some stories i probably haven't seen in a while. Love this channel in general, keep it up!
The fact that you acknowledged a mistake and you stepped up to the plate like a man and dealt with it 👏😂 you got my respect. You also have my thumbs up on this video. I’m already subscribed but thank you for owning up to a small simple mistake which you fixed and nobody on RUclips does that so again👏👏👏👏👏😂 Thank you for your videos. You tell a good story.

Hi, I love your videos. Regarding the Edmund Fitzgerald, the freighter SS William Clay Ford also left Whitefish Bay to aid in the rescue/recovery efforts that night. According to the Dossin Great Lakes Musuem, the William Clay Ford’s navigational logbook indicates that it had passed over the Fitz’s final resting place during the search.
It says they past over 2 large items, which most likely were the 2 sections of the Edmund Fitzgerald. As far as what happened, I don't think it ran around. I think it took water due to the bad vent cover, and that combined with the weak keel caused it to break in two in rough seas over deeper water. That seems to be the only realistic way it would have gone down so quickly. If it would have run aground over 6 fathom shoals with it's weakened structure and heavy load it most likely would have sunk right there, in 30 feet of water, meaning it most likely would have dropped several feet onto the ground and been stuck there to ride out the rest of the storm, most likely safely.
We went through annual training on the loss of the Thresher that included the problems the crew faced, the reasons for the loss of the submarine and the changes made after the loss that make newer submarines safer (including the creation of the subsafe program). The USS Scorpion was lost before it could be modified to comply with subsafe.
Re: Your remarks on the Andrea Gail weathering waves the size of its length (22m). The rule of thumb we use for our boat is that any breaking wave whose height is more than our _beam_ is bad news. Actually any breaking wave is usually bad news.
Dang, I'm just starting the video and I know I've heard some of these stories. You do some top-notch research, I've heard of the Thresher disaster and never heard about the thermocline that disrupted their radio signals. I'm on board with you that it's important to remember the human lives and families that were destroyed. But hearing about why and how things failed is fascinating. You add so much to these stories that is missing from others' explanations.
Top comment and I too am familiar with some of the cases covered by our antipodean friend but I find that I always discover something new and interesting plus I have become quite attracted to his presentation after initially finding him monotonous and lacking decorative graphics, another example of how wrong I can be and I wish you both the very best. 🇬🇧📚
Love the channel! Always wondered what you would find if you took a crack at these mysteries. And you didn't disappoint! Well done. Now, after that marathon, I need to go work off all the ice cream I ate while watching. 😅 Thanks for your hard work!
My view is, that the keel was weakened as stated in the video, and poor maintenance along with profits above all ....this is what had a major impact on the loss of the ship and its 29 crew.
People only hate compilations because of the ridiculously low attention spn so many people have. These are the kinds of people who will stand on their front porch to watch the beauty of a thunderstorm -- only to grow bored because the lightning takes too long. To them, microwaves are an interminably long time to wait for food; an eyeblink takes forever. I actually like compilations and longer form videos because I can put one on and just let it play while I'm doing something else -- I tend to "listen" to videos, glancing at them if something exciting or especially pertinent is happening. These short choppy videos means I have to interrupt what I'm doing to find new videos or I have to create a decent sized playlist which I don't always want to do -- so yeak, keep up the compilations!
Great information, thank you for all your hard work on these events. I wish I had some answers to the unanswered questions, but I need to leave it to the experts. Thanks again for all that you do. Ronnie.
This is a great channel and your videos, research and presentation are next level. I found you though Titan but have watched all of your videos now. 📣📣📣
Huge fan of your channel, keep the top quality content coming. You’re very knowledgeable and I always come away from your videos having learned something cool.
I love the graphics on the Andrea Gale clip. I have to go back and look and see if you have them on the original. I always like to comment without knowing anything
what gets me about the Thresher and Scorpion cases the USS Thresher is still on "Eternal Patrol" whereas the Scorpion was struck from the register! Surely they should both be "on eternal patrol" if they were both accidents without evidence of espionage? Is it just me or does something not add up?
Thank you for this compilation video! I have watched all of your videos on each of these stories. There is one great sea mystery that will not be solved until the ship is found and investigated, and that is the Waratah, which vanished off the coast of South Africa in the late 50s. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this vessel.
When I was a commercial Fisherman my wife told me to choose either her or the sea. 27 years later and am still at sea. I got married again and have two kids with 6 granbabies. I'm a blessed man.
Having lost our grandfather aboard the HMS Celendine in 1943 and Birkenhead being my hometown (Home of the Cammel Laird shipyard.) with the unique disaster of the submarine HMS Thetis in particular along with the RMS Titanic being registered across the Mersey in that beautiful Cunard building I fear that we face many more years until we can launch safe vessels. Best wishes.🇬🇧📚🙏☘️
Because you don't have an ad-blocker and you're not paying for youtube premium. Honestly youtube premium is probably the best subscription I've got. Not only do you get rid of all the ads, but you can listen to videos in the background with your screen off and you can download videos to watch when you're somewhere without service or so you can re-upload a video yourself after RUclips removes it from the original poster for whatever reason.

After that season he never went back sailing scared him too much .
Interesting videos, thanks for your work. Though Andrea does not belong here, imho, as it's just a greed story involving a small boat. I wish you were able to cover mysteries of the Soviet fleet, which are dozens - from the battleship Novorossiysk explosion to the Admiral Nakhimov ferry sinking.
The events leading to the loss of the Fitz are simple.. 1: The Skipper radioed that he had a starboard list, and blew out some vents, after they passed the shallows at Cariboo island.. 2. She sunk 11 nm later. It's obvious she touched bottom and slowly lossed buoyancy as she took on water, until she dove into one of those waves and kept on going all the way down to the bottom, plowing into the lake bed 26 to 30 feet, and accordion'd her bow. She hit the bottom going 30 knotts. No one had a chance.. no distress call, no nothing..
Recently discovered information regarding the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald now points to a spare propeller that was stowed in between the deck spar coverings over the cargo holds. When the sea state rose, it is believed that the spare propeller broke loose, damaging multiple dogs securing the hatches in the process which then allowed them to slide open and water to ingress into the holds.
I thought we eventually found out that the iron used in the making of the Edmund Fitzgerald was not as it should have been. That when it became cold over a period of time, it became brittle? Are the other options, more like contributing factors? Or as to whether or not I’ve know if the structural integrity of the iron would have lead to her sinking then and there?
Really well done, I have read everything and studied everything I could. Have many books. And my thought that the wave troughs plus length of of the vessel with faulty hatch covers split it down the middle, Now, with this data that kind of confirms that. I have been to the museum locks at the Sooo, sailed most all of the great lakes. Delivered Dominos PIZZA corporate Yachts from Drummond Island. I now live in Mexico on the west coast, of Mexico and am a yacht broker. And, I guess a great lakes nerd. I want to move back. May be to door county. Any ideas how to get tmy 52 Defever Trawler up there and bubbled?
Normally seems like many things happen to cause a loss of a ship. Not just 1 issue. Bad weather. Poorly dogged hatch covers. Loose keel. Bottom strike. Probably the loss of that great lakes giant.
These accidents and all other accidents actually helps us, it teaches us about the flaws because we learn from mistake, sadly some people only take action after something happened, take example like the Titanic, after it has sunk ever ship must have doubled hull.
The Fitz, I think she broke her back, most likely happening fast. And im stuck thinking maybe the sinking had something to do with the shotty welds on the keel. I would imagine if even a little of that were to open up, imence amounts of water would gush in the hull. Making it go down fast, and maybe breaking up while sinking? Very sad! Im from wiso. Everything Great lakes, i find fascinating .
What if its all theories for the Fitz. Perhaps an undogged hatch leaked, causing the ship to list. The list and load increases draft, which cause the ship to kiss the shoal with a weakened keel, ripping it. Later a wave comes over the railing of the struggling ships deck and its the final nail in the coffin. No one thing makes sense so maybe it took all of the events to happen.
Cstupid question be an ingmoranr Canadian Canadian but did anyone stop to thik that orders given by a departing master on his final voyage, may have contained a large dose of vitriol, fatal perhaps. all checked and all solid ideas
I believe all the theories combined between the weak hull it running a ground the shallow water chart being off by 1 mile then it taking on water with no radar and the bad storm conditions all working against them until it hit a large wave and broke apart and went straight to the bottom

I spent the 1980s on submarines, most of the time homeported out of Groton.
I’m guessing that the navy had the Scorpion tragedy figured out in 1969 but kept it to themselves judging by the battery compartment directive. There’s usually a reason for everything.

The 3rd pic (1:28) wasn't the Scorpions stern. It was same pic of the sail again. But shown upside down.

Interesting videos, thanks for your work. Though Andrea does not belong here, imho, as it's just a greed story involving a small boat.
I wish you were able to cover mysteries of the Soviet fleet, which are dozens - from the battleship Novorossiysk explosion to the Admiral Nakhimov ferry sinking.
I am 61 years old and have never heard this story before. I knew that he had done something heroic during the war, but not these details.
The events leading to the loss of the Fitz are simple.. 1: The Skipper radioed that he had a starboard list, and blew out some vents, after they passed the shallows at Cariboo island.. 2. She sunk 11 nm later. It's obvious she touched bottom and slowly lossed buoyancy as she took on water, until she dove into one of those waves and kept on going all the way down to the bottom, plowing into the lake bed 26 to 30 feet, and accordion'd her bow. She hit the bottom going 30 knotts. No one had a chance.. no distress call, no nothing..
Recently discovered information regarding the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald now points to a spare propeller that was stowed in between the deck spar coverings over the cargo holds. When the sea state rose, it is believed that the spare propeller broke loose, damaging multiple dogs securing the hatches in the process which then allowed them to slide open and water to ingress into the holds.
Makes sense thanks
It's convenient for a lot of people that diving to the wreck of the Fitz is banned.
Awesome Video but after the Thresher part the audio sounds off to me is that just me or is there something wrong with the audio
I can't remember the original stories having so many ads..😮
I thought we eventually found out that the iron used in the making of the Edmund Fitzgerald was not as it should have been. That when it became cold over a period of time, it became brittle? Are the other options, more like contributing factors? Or as to whether or not I’ve know if the structural integrity of the iron would have lead to her sinking then and there?
I think the Edmund Fitzgerald got swamped by the rouge waves and rough waters and that the ship’s condition could have also contributed to its loss
Are there any stories about sinking of hovercrafts?
Really well done, I have read everything and studied everything I could. Have many books. And my thought that the wave troughs plus length of of the vessel with faulty hatch covers split it down the middle, Now, with this data that kind of confirms that.

There is another mystery around the sinking of the Hapag Lloyd MS Muenchen in 1978. Cause is said to be a rogue wave. No wreck found.
Normally seems like many things happen to cause a loss of a ship. Not just 1 issue. Bad weather. Poorly dogged hatch covers. Loose keel. Bottom strike. Probably the loss of that great lakes giant.
These accidents and all other accidents actually helps us, it teaches us about the flaws because we learn from mistake, sadly some people only take action after something happened, take example like the Titanic, after it has sunk ever ship must have doubled hull.

The Fitz, I think she broke her back, most likely happening fast. And im stuck thinking maybe the sinking had something to do with the shotty welds on the keel. I would imagine if even a little of that were to open up, imence amounts of water would gush in the hull. Making it go down fast, and maybe breaking up while sinking? Very sad! Im from wiso. Everything Great lakes, i find fascinating .
Sooopaaahhhh!! 🤍
What if its all theories for the Fitz. Perhaps an undogged hatch leaked, causing the ship to list. The list and load increases draft, which cause the ship to kiss the shoal with a weakened keel, ripping it. Later a wave comes over the railing of the struggling ships deck and its the final nail in the coffin. No one thing makes sense so maybe it took all of the events to happen.

I believe all the theories combined between the weak hull it running a ground the shallow water chart being off by 1 mile then it taking on water with no radar and the bad storm conditions all working against them until it hit a large wave and broke apart and went straight to the bottom
