Heaven on earth until the 2010's. By the 2020's it became a nightmare.

Love this video!! Thanks so much for doing such a wonderful job regarding “Tragedy At Honda”

Its story is at the MORRO BAY MARITIME MUSEUM IF YOU WISH THE WHOLE STORY>

These attacks happened up and down our West coast, this is why the Japanese/American enternment camps were made...to prevent those allied with Japan from helping a possible total US invaision.. Seven subs made attacks on our WEST COAST that struck fear to civilians and Government people alike. Yet most attacks were kept secret rom the rest of America..

Now I’ve known of a ship that had been sunk by the Japanese in WW2 off our coast but didn’t know the name of it until couple of years ago when I visit the maritime museum in Morro Bay. It’s pretty amazing that the torpedo didn’t manage to set off more catastrophic damage given how deadly they were, let alone that everyone had survived.

It's hard for those of us born post WW2 to comprehend our world at war, to know what it is to be afraid of attack...that's why these stories are so important. Our grandfathers and grandmothers knew. And we need to listen. I'm in Portland Oregon and this is the first time I've learned that two ships were sunk off our coast! We have the best, most well trained and armed military in the world! Well done. Now can we do the same with education? We're failing, badly. Our military is protecting some very ignorant people.

fascinating story told so well. Thank you

Who is this guy? send me contact info looking to get a job done in Glendale, CA

Thank you for sharing such a captivating story. Every element draws you in, and your way of telling it makes it even more engaging. 🛟⚓️💛

I have never heard of this until now. What an incredible story. Thank you for your explorations. Your videos are put together so well.

Knew an old guy who told me after school he use to go down to the shipyards and box for extra change from the shipbuilders. LA harbir and San Pedro had a lot of history building ships, thanks for the video on this.

Very interesting story. Thank you for your video!

Very interesting story you posted, Robert! My dad served in the USMC in the Pacific theatre until July '45, and was a DI until Feb. '46 at Camp Pendleton. We will be going to Morro Bay this Thursday for our yearly get-together with the bike crew. Wasn't aware that the Japanese were doing this during the war off our coast!

Nice short, Robert! Hope all is well with you!

When is sky tower reopen?

Will one of these cypress pines continue to grow in height if you simply cut it halfway to bring it's height down a bit?

Thanx for the cool short clip, Robert!

Beautiful and Amazing ! Love the transition from B&W to color. Rose from Paso Robles (Tito's)

Awesome experience ! - great footage 👍 Love Josh Gates & his adventuress.

Very cool, always enjoy your videos! Thanks Robert!

Great drone footage! Thanks man!

this was so interesting, I learned some cool stuff

Wow! Lotta water headed downstream.

Very cool, Robert! The drone footage is excellent, and sure helps with your video productions. This sure gives a great view of the workings of a shipyard. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!

Thanks for the informative video. Great drone shots!

I was there June 2020, lots of neat stuff.

We had the opportunity to tour the lighthouse today. It’s an amazing place!

Well done, thank you for this. I lived in Lompoc for 18 years and worked at Vandenberg, but was never able to get permission to get to the lighthouse and photograph it. This is as close as I've gotten so I appreciate you.

We are going here this weekend. My grandpa was stationed there with his wife. I am super excited to see it and experience all the fun stories that he tells.

Excellent presentation !

Robert, some pretty nice gear there!

I was at Lang in 1976 for the Golden Spike 100th Ceremony! I used to have a ranch further east on the Mesa above the site of Russ Siding and the Oasis Trailer Park.

Nice video

Beautifully made.

Appreciate your taking the time to make and post this video! I use Metro going through the SFV into Simi Valley which also has an interesting pathway and tunnels.

Really enjoyed this! Tysm

Cool history in this video, thanks for filming this and posting it, Robert!

Yeah but does it shoot at 60fps like my Sony HDR cx405?

Nice adventure Indy

Absolutely fantastic drone footage in this video, Robert! Quite relaxing to watch this cool stuff, thanks man! I'm doing well with health, etc., feel pretty darn good.

How cool is that!

Excellent video, Robert! Remember doing engine services at a couple of pumping stations we had in San Pedro area, and hitting up Busy Bee market at 24th & Walker to get one of their infamous roast beef sandwiches(they were pretty big)and have lunch in the park at Pt. Fermin down at the end of Gaffey St. Thanks again for posting this, always interesting to see where you've been in your travels!

Thanks for posting the video. Hoping to visit the adjacent area as the old Ports of Call area is rebuilt

Fantastic work; I became obsessed with this story after reading Lockwoods book

Born and raised in Lompoc (1948) and delivered By Dr Larry E Heiges JR. His father was the Lompoc doctor that attended to the sailors on site, Dr. Lawrence Heiges Sr. His photo was painted on a Lompoc Mural which hangs outside the Lompoc Hospital. This is the Best video I've seen on all the Point Honda stories. I read the book, Tragedy at Point Honda many years ago. There is such detail of all the ships in the water. An Excellent video depicting such tragedies. Robert Schwemmer, thank you for this Excellent video and story. It has been with Lompoc natives all our lives!

nice footage

I miss going up in Sky Tower. Hopefully it'll open again.

Great photography, Robert!

Hey man this was the swell on the 28th I’m pretty sure, I was out there today, wondering if you got any clips?

I love seeing it through your lens
