In 1909, the wooden-hulled lake freighter Adella Shores disappeared in a storm on Lake Superior. Lost without a trace, the small freighter was all but forgotten until shipwreck hunters stumbled across her wreck in the summer of 2021.

Sad how forgotten the Great Lakes shipping history is, appreciate all this channel does.
You should go watch the history mystery man RUclips channel too if you like great lakes shipping fyi he does racing in summer the great lakes shipping history in winter
It's true, the world really should study American history more is very important
In my old age, I wonder at my youthful enthusiasm for going to sea. At least in part, because of your excellent, but tragic videos.
It's romantic to live fast and die young and tragically than to rust and wear out. Eternity is forever for those that love God and this life goes fast, either way.
@@johnwurfel2862 All true. Add to that a certain lack of understanding and appreciation for things like having and raising children, and how easy my life was compared to my parent's and many of my contemporaries
I’m 55 and have an overwhelming fear of the ocean. Since childhood. There’s no explanation for it. No known incidents. I’m not afraid of water or swimming, only the open ocean. 😐
I'm ready to die
@@benmclinjr9607you okay?
Animating the water around the picture of Adella Shores, putting snow on top, and then fading out the Shores to show her disappearance, was a really nice touch.
I was on a cross-country drive in April, and stopped for a short break at a spot overlooking Lake Michigan -- looking out over that inland sea, I couldn't help thinking back to this channel's videos, and all the stories you've shared of the tragedies and loss hidden in its waves.
It's spooky that the Morrell and the Adella encountered each other during a storm.
i thought that too....I don't recall, was the Captain on the Morrell that day the same man who captained it when it was later lost?
@clarsach29 no he wasn't
The guy's coat being found sounds like a case of paradoxical undressing that happens in the last stages of hypothermia. Other symptoms are severely impaired cognition, hallucinations, and feeling extremely hot. He probably jumped in the water either to cool off or lured by a hallucination.
Messed up stuff right there. Poor bastard... 😢
That was my immediate reaction as well, probably better than finding a body ripped by seagulls
A sad but beautiful respectfully made video. Thank you for keeping the memory of the men and their boats lost on the Great Lakes alive.
Your editing style, and non-dramatized presentation are two major parts of why I love your videos so much. One of my favorite RUclips channels, easily!
Its ironic that about 57 years later The Morrel would meet the same fate in Lake Huron during a Nov Gale...
It absolutely isn't. That's not what irony means. You meant coincidence.
@@user-io6pj8bz8h guess I do not believe in coincidence, Mathmatic logic ?
Indy born and raised. My wife is from the Lake Michigan region, Indiana side. Going to Chicago or Michigan(west coast is the best coast) particularly south haven. It’s crazy to see all the history of lakes. I’ve also driven the M35 at night, in a snow storm, at night… before knowing.. that if I slid off.. it was probably goodnight for my friends and myself. I love the Midwest, and learning about the Great Lakes
09:00 That music is terrifying...
Great video!
Why did I hit that timestamp, I'm trying to get ready for bed XD
Yes, it is sad that we were not taught about the lakes and the areas around them. We weren't taught about those areas and the ships like what we were taught about the rest of the country. I'm learning so much from you and it's entertaining plus sadness . Many things that I didn't know.
Thanks for bringing all this amazing history and for all the work you've put into it. 😊
It's easy to wax lyrical about your killer use of historical footage, maps, etc. to really set an appropriate tone, but man do you ever deserve praise for the sound design in these videos. I normally watch via iPad speaker, and re-watching this video through some nice headphones gave me goosebumps. Well done as always!
The legend lives on....and on the last day the sea shall give up its dead. Thank you for a wonderful video!
Finding the wreck must have provided closure for the descendants of those lost.
Someone recommended your channel at Oceanliner Designs, and i'm happy i gave it a chance. Now i have many days of content to watch between you, Maritime Horrors, Part Time Explorer and Oceanliner Designs.
Welcome aboard! Glad to hear Big Old Boats mentioned among so many great channels!
I'm so thankful for all the historic footage found for this video, it's actually impressive, I didn't even know this much existed
Love the laker stuff. I grew up close to Duluth. Love laker history.
I still think it's crazy that The Lakers moved from Minnesota to Los Angeles but kept the name.
A chilling & well done account of one of the many lake vessels we should honor & never forget! Thank you for sharing! This is Peter M; out!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@BigOldBoats, I too enjoyed your video. And your videos wouldn’t be complete without the music to accompany it.
So now to the Question at hand. A question about music I heard in some of your previous Great Lake videos. The Lake Huron Disasters Video (specifically at the start of the SS Kaliyuga section) and the Daniel J. Morel video to be specific. I have comments in those videos asking about a certain music track in those videos (and it’s a different music from the Web of Lies music). I would like to inquire the name of said music so that I may add it to my Spotify music list.
You mentioned the Schoolcraft. I have been to her wreck site on Wolfe Island.
It's so cool that they found the wreck
Superb, as always! I've said it before but the the wrecks of the Great Lakes have phenomenal potential for a feature film. We've had Titanic, A Night to Remember, the Poseidon Adventure - but none about these tragic, heroic vessels and their crews. I can think of nobody better to write it!
A special thanks to you to keeping the stories of these ships and their crews alive. I also could not help but feel a strange sense of foreshadowing that the Morrell of all ships was the last to see the Adella and her crew. Well done!
When you got to the part of it being lead by the Daniel J. Morrell... yiiiiiikes. Two doomed ships, just... a few decades apart. I'm glad the wreck was at least found - good to know where it was, and that the story can be retold like this.
Anytime I hear about logging I remember pictures I saw from the 1800s. Where I live it's still considered rural but there are pics from the 1800s of loga so big they were shipped one per rail car. Tree trunks so large that after the tree was cut down they turned the stump into a house. An I'm not talking redwoods or something. These were regular pine trees. The US used to have some truly amazing forests.
You have a great voice for these presentations. I could listen for hours. Thank you
Its safe to say the gods of the sea have more than enough water at any given time, best to stick to booze.
Well said comrade.
I love your stuff. Thank you
I guess a bottle of water didn't cut it with the gods 😂
I love your vids man. Being a Michigander I especially love the great lake ones . 👊😎👍
Thank you for showing us these forgotten bits of history.
~7:00 Is THAT why we smash bottle on the sides of ships! Had no idea about the origins of that tradition until now.
Damn he is handsome.
But. Is he real? Or is he AI generated?
@@sophuzzyHe's Aye Aye generated
Oh yeah! Another video !
Your coverage of the geat lakes disasters of old and overall attention to detail. With the respect for the victims and their families. Makes my Midwestern heart happy. Thank you for all that you do.
Excellent production
Another great video. Thanks so much for your work!
This is the second episode of watched on this channel. I am really going to enjoy these videos
Thank you, I enjoy each one of these.
Love all your videos and love the Great Lakes can’t wait to hear more stories about it❤️
I enjoyed this a lot.
I knew this video was coming. I saw the footage of the wreck's discovery. This is the 3rd wreck I've seen discovery footage of, then you make a video a short time later. Thanks. Truly. Now I know of this ship's history, as I also learned of the others history.
Thanks!
Thank you!
You do such an excellent job creating these videos. I enjoy them all.
Thanks for your thoughtful treatment of this subject matter. Well done.
Great video!
Good job. Thx.
Great video
Chiwawa… Talk about a “cursed” ship.
Great video as always. Thanks
Fascinating video, as always! I love that you are following up on wrecks that are still being discovered in the Great Lakes.
I invite anyone who is interested in shipping to come over to my hone state of Michigan and check out our many ship museums and lighthouses across the state. The Dossin museum in Detroit, the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point, the Point Betsie Lighthouse museum by Frankfort, and many more.
Thank you for another fabulous Great Lakes video! You are awesome (even if I never will know how old you are...)
Are there any lake ontario stories? I follow you and a few similar channels and not one on lake ontario. Very few lake erie. Not complaining just wondering if there are any significant sinkings?
So many people hear “lake” and think calm waters and not very deep. The Great Lakes, honestly, should be called fresh water oceans. The Great Lakes have riptides, huge waves and some surprisingly deep. Even in the hottest of summers the Great Lakes are still surprisingly cold. Lake Michigan scares the crap out of me and don’t let my kids swim in it. Lake Huron and Superior are my favorites. I try to visit both every summer.
Always a pleasure, Brad! I've been manifesting my future for a long time, and (as silly as it may sound), I can't wait to own my own house and watch these videos on a laptop in bed knowing that I don't need to got t "work" tommorow. Congrats on being full-time youtuber, and best of luck.
Owning a home is a reasonable goal. But to have it paid for and not have to go to work to pay for it is quite a feat.
@@giggiddy The lottery ;)
I’ve fished in white fish bay when I was a young man with my father, man what I would give to go for a day on the water with my old man 😢
Can we do a series on the ships of 1909?
Damn
its a bad feeling when you are pretty sure youre about to die and its a remote place, very lonely
gone but not forgotten
Yay
I'm the chairman of the Safety Committee .. are you a participant .... smoke em if you got em ..... the lamp is lit🤘👍👌👋
The USS Arizona was christened with water from Lake Roosevelt when she was launched in 1915. Bad omen?
Walking 3 miles on ice doesn’t sound so bad until you realize that you have on shoes made in 1908.
There were quality shoes to be had in 1908, but you really got what you paid for. Most people couldn't afford the really good stuff.
@@MarinCipollina I agree that there were some good shoes but I don’t think those who worked on a boat had them.
I wonder what has sunk the most ships?
Big storms or loose lips?
was it not this video that had mentioned they found its wreck in Lake Erie?! 😅
Was the damage to the ship noted when it was discovered, and any clues as to what happened?
You say the music is from Epidemic Sound, however, it would be nice to mention the names of the Music used and the names of the creators of Said music so that some of us who don’t use EpidemicSound could listen to it on Spotify.
I am also still waiting for the music on the SS Kaliyuga Section of the Lake Huron disasters video, as well as the Daniel J Morel video.
👍👍
im wondering: where there ever pirates on the great lakes?
😎😎😎
No, water doesn't work as well.
Of course the Daniel J. Morrell would meet her own tragic end as well...
Ah I see. The bell wasn't on. Remedied
Amazing how many europeans were working the Great Lakes.
Why would the Gods of the Sea want more water???
Information sold by 100 different data brokers !
Just because they don't like alcohol doesn't mean that Gods do not. That was bad manners.
Seeing you with facial hair is…surreal, to say the least.
I have to say... you've got a very nice voice it's nice enough to put me to sleep...... believe me... a nice voice like yours is an awesome gift.
janky ahh vessel
