I think I've become addicted to Shipwreck Sunday. After church, I check my notifications to see if you're channel has a new program. I just love your channel. I've also gotten interested in other ships. Speaking of which I recently came across the SS Cape San Juan tragedy in 1943. I was researching the USS Indianapolis when I came across the Cape San Juan. I looked through your other programs and couldn't find the Cape San Juan. If you haven't done a program on this ship you might want to check it out.
type 9C uboats were some of the longest ranged, most powerful german submarines out there. they were fully ocean going, wide, and had enough space to last a few months at sea. they were about equivalent to the US fleet boats like Gato and Balao
Wait, today is sunday... Oh... Its Mondsy morning. Working 4 nights in a row messes with my sense of time. But like i said friday: brave men. That's one less mystery of the ocean. As always, another banger Elinor!❤❤
Thanks so much my friend! When I was a night shifter, my sense of time was always off! I used to be a closer at a pizza place for many years, so I was used to working from 4PM until close, then sleeping from 2AM until 10AM. It was an odd existence with little regard for what day of the week it was!
Will you be doing Admiral Nakhimov soon, she sank on August 31st 1986 in a collision with the bulk carrier Pyotr Vasev, remember to get on your soap box with many refering to her as the Soviet Titanic. 7 minutes was all it took her to sink, Admiral Nakhimov was originally called SS Berlin.
@shipwrecksunday the youtuber Ocean Liner Designs did 2 videos of her, the 1st one explaining the disaster, and a second video showing the ship sinking in real time.
Elinor, nice job with the German words. Additionally, great video. I love submarines. This was a well done and informative video. Keep up the good work!
Great episode once again Elinor. But i really starting to miss the Oceanliner content, weve had Warships and other things here for a few months now. Infact i think the last time we had more than 2 oceanliners in a row was lusitania month Cheers!!
Cheers! I, too, am missing ocean liners! It's been a long while! I have a lot of ships on my list and am working my way through, but definitely need to add some ocean liners and great lakes ships back into the mix!
Thank you Elimor for doing a U-boat I had not heard of before. Have you thought of doing the French submarine Surcouf? World' s largest sub when built she carried two 8 inch guns and an aircraft. She was lost in very mysterious circumstances during WW 2.
Good video with nice details on the specs. Can’t believe it was found so far from where it was originally thought to be. 😳 Could you do S-13, the Soviet sub that sank the MV Wilhelm Gustloff and MV General von Stephen.
Here's a mystery, possibly an urban legend, I heard this as a little kid in Northern Illinois. There is supposedly a German submarine, possibly from World War One, that somehow found itself in Lake Michigan in the Chicago area. It found itself on the bottom, how I can't remember. The interesting part is that it's full of mercury, mite be leaking. I haven't heard anything new in decades.
Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson is a great read on the story of the discovery of the U 869 and it's identification. We Captured A U-Boat by Daniel Gallery is another exciting read about the U 505. I'd recommend both books to anyone interested in U Boats. 👍
The truth is, after mid 1943 the Kriegsmarine traded submarine to ship loses nearly on a 1:1 base. The hard trained crews from the first 2 years of war are mostly gone and the next generation had no chance to get experienced. Add to this the better equipment and tactics of the Allies, this turned into a kind of suicide mission. The Moby Prince is a real dark story.
@@andreaslermen2008 I noticed that! It's a similar feeling to how Japan lost so many of their skilled pilots, and the ones that came into play afterward had no chance of being as experienced. Moby Prince is a dark story, and definitely her spot light! ❤️ Cheers!!
The Flak Gun is a `Vierling`, ie 4 barreled 20mm not the larger type 42, 37mm as fitted to U505. Further, your pictures seem to indicate a lack of a 105mm Deck gun as famously employed by U123 (Hardegen) off the US E Coast when she navigated inshore of an already torpedoed Tanker to avoid overshoots hitting mainland America, an admirable, if risky action whether prompted by Politics or Humanity. Creditable Video, viewed late and marred by BT and You Tube (see my rant on Jamie`s Excellent Empress vid!). Bring on Moby! (Should have problems sorted by then, fingers crossed).
Ah, I'm so sorry to hear that! RUclips can be quite finicky, my friend. There are a lot of AI moderators that float around and algorithms in place that are far from perfect! Thank you so much for always bringing your knowledge to the table! Cheers, my friend!
Shipwreck Sunday, IDK how I will have to provide animations for you in the future since you keep getting flagged using them when they are not copyrighted
U-505 is a type 9c and not a type IXC/40, though they are from the same class but U-869 is an updated version of U-505. U-234 was a type XB U-boat it was a cargo not an attack u-boat!!.
Off the coast of New Jersey looks like a virtual graveyard! A person could literally spend years diving & exploring. I was reading a little about the father & son that lost their lives diving to U-869. Both experienced divers, but they breathe just compressed air, not the trimix of helium, nitrogen, and oxygen. The bends can get even experienced divers. One of the doctors that was treating them said that when they took blood it was foam! You know, when I was in school about a hundred years ago I was always told that except for Pearl Harbor, there was never a shot fired on US soil, in an international war. Germany was very close during WW2!
I learned similarly in school, and I graduated in 2017 (college first, then high school a few months later lol) and they never taught me that either! The bends is so scary to think about. My aunt and uncle dive, and both of them are extremely wary of it!
@shipwrecksunday I always thought I would like to learn to dive when I was younger, but that's not going to happen now! I wouldn't attempt it with my lung issues!
@shipwrecksunday one more thing, then I'll leave you alone! I had asked an experienced diver about sharks, he said "we don't worry about sharks". Sorry, but I've watched documentaries about how shark infested the gulf of Mexico is, then we all have heard about how many sharks are close to the beaches in Florida. Not to gross you out, but a 19 or 20 year old was trying to save his younger sister from undercurrents in Florida a few weeks ago, when he was swept under by currents. His head washed up on the beach 3 days later! Sorry about the graphic nature, but we know what caused that! By the way, have you heard about some new developments with USS United States?
