Most famous shipping disasters have happened out of sight – under cover of darkness, like that of Titanic, or in a raging storm. The simple truth is that for hundreds of years humans have taken to the oceans in ships – but the camera is only a relatively recent development. Before the camera it was up to painters and artists to recreate how disasters at sea might have looked, but nowadays people can play witness to real events without having to actually be there and the result is chilling. From the results of dramatic collisions, the aftermath of deadly storms or the dramatic rescues of trapped crews. Features the SS Metapan and Iowan, SS Toya Maru, SS Pine Ridge and SS Morro Castle.

Like if IOU one correct Iowan pronunciation.
I watch this page to go to sleep. Its not boring per say but it just soothes
23:08 why is that Woman waving Her Left Arm like that . Kind of weird .
I bet 11 days ago when you published this video you didn't imagine another disaster would come so soon.
I attempted to watch this video while eating toast, but couldn't hear (Our Friend) Mike over the crunching. So I turned on the Closed Captioning, and now I couldn't finish my breakfast because I was laughing so hard. Apparently the subtitle bots have never heard an Australian accent before.
I would love to see you do a video about the process of naval-architectural design. It's fascinating how naval architects take a set of specifications and loop around, navigating the often-conflicting requirements and tradeoffs, until they can reach a design that gives the clients as much of the target specs as can be reconciled.
For history's sake, this was released just over a week before the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore was destroyed by a shipping disaster which was entirely captured on video. If I didn't know better, it would feel like this video was foreshadowing. (That's obviously nonsense; it's just an eerie coincidence.) As I write this, two bodies of the six missing and presumed dead have been recovered. Four are still missing. We still have much to learn from the investigation, including the video.
I have been through that tunnel. The train os so fast you're through before you know it.
Made this video 8 days late. That Baltimore crash is wild.
I hope you make a video on it as there's some wild conspiracys coming out about it already.
Who knew only 9 days after the release of this video – the Francis Scott Key bridge would collapse from ship strike. The latest member of the this club you don't want to join.
The Brit voice always rings with authority. Love it.
Baltimore Bridge collapse too
With regard to collisions, I never hear anything of "Culverts Rules for Avoiding Collision at Sea". I have a copy that I probably took from Reeds Nautical Almanac. What do you know of this as it is never mentioned. Perhaps you can touch on this when you make an appropriate video. Cheers Charles
There was a horror movie from early 80s with George Kennedy called Death Ship. I’ve been trying to find the origins of that ship
Fantastic episode, Mike!
I'm amazed you didn't put the sinking of the oceanos on this video since the whole thing was caught on camera
Under the sea, Under the sea , everythings better down were it's wetter , Under the sea ! As soon as you said under the sea that's what popped into my head.
The Morro Castle burned so hot that for days if you went out on the beach at night you could see the hull glow. 🚢
Fascinating.
I work at the Isle of Wight Shipwreck and Maritime museum. Our artifacts are about 50% from wartime events and 50% poor navigation or collision events. Going by sea was so hazardous , when you consider the losses of the various Indianman vessels right up to the White Star line vessels that were lost. Risky. The cold brittleness still exists to this day of sorts..I used to test welds and our local boatyard over the river, I had to fail everyone of their test pieces as all the welds had cracks caused by Hydrogen. I used to see them welding from across the river with the doors open onto the river, thus giving ample amounts ot hydrogen in the moist, damp air to be absorbed by the welds. This boatyard was known for regular welding repairs to their vessels. They failed to accept my qualification for testing. And failed to accept their poor welds. In the end I suggested using space heaters on the areas prior to welding to bannish the moisture. Their welds then passed.
Fantastic narration, i am so happy and lucky to have found your brilliant, in-depth true storytelling channel, one of the best I've come across.
The capsize and sinking of Andria Adoria is another one that was captured on video. ( I apologize if I misspelled her name)
You’re definitely my friend.
hey not tryin to be a jerk but im going to help your way of saying things,it not hatares,its pronounced hat,er,is, and with the iowan,its pronounced i,owe,in
Love your channel! So fascinating and I have no ties to shipping or even the ocean. Keep up the wonderful work Mike Brady. Bon voyage
I got an ad for Cunard line right before this video.
(in case you don't know cunard still operates and advertises their cruises)
Love the channel, but just FYI: it's Cape Hatt- er-as, accent on the Hatt. Hope I'm not being a tacky old woman. I am an old woman, so I can say that. 😊
It's such a nefarious cape you'll probably have to say it more than once. Lol
It's taken such famous ships as the Queen Anne's Revenge, Black Beard's flag ship, and probably the Carroll F Deering, but she's a ghost ship and the Hatteras sighting isn't confirmed. (Though what other ship of her size and profile the Hatteras sighting could have been is a sticking point.)
Queen Anne's Revenge was found exactly where oral history said she went down, similar to the Wydah Gally, off Cape Cod. We should listen.
Watching your channel makes my teeny tiny challenges exactly that, teeny tiny.
I need to remember I've got it made. I'm not on a burning ship in mid ocean, or worse in sight of land I can never reach. Keep up the cheering work. 😅
If Star Trek has taught me anything, don't trust ships with Maru as part of their name.
Rushing ahead with no regard for the rest of us. Ignoring all warnings. The most important in the area. Cost large amounts to repair damage caused. Simply will not listen to reason. Careless. Arrogant. Sure it was not the USAmerican Congress?
I'm surprised the Oceanos sinking wasn't featured in this video.
I love your videos, but I have a bone to pick with you.
You mentioned that there were a lot of maritime disasters around New Jersey and played it off as, "Ha ha ha because it's New Jersey," but there is a very good reason why there seem to be so many. New Jersey is in the middle of the Mid-Atlantic ports and has the a huge amount of coastline that ships can go down near. Right around NJ you have the major ports of Philadelphia and the NY/NJ Port Authority. NJ has smaller ports in Atlantic City and a fuel depot in the mouth of the Delaware River. Then there is the Port of Baltimore, Boston's port and any other smaller ports that the other states have, of any. So if something is going to happen there is a really good chance that NJ is going to be involved geographically or in the rescue efforts. Because NJ is one of the first and largest responders when stuff happens from both the public and private sectors.
