NAI'A Rebuild Part 2
มุมมอง 40115 ปีที่แล้ว
Part 2 of the NAI'A Rebuild video starts with NAI'A's arrival in Fiji with only six months remaining before our first charter. Follow our trials and tribulations as push finally comes to shove with only four days to go! We made it, though, and the video concludes with images of the completed ship.
NAI'A Rebuild Part 1
มุมมอง 43415 ปีที่แล้ว
I made this video to remind myself never to rebuild an old ship again! I've showed it to thousands of passengers on NAI'A over the years and finally it is available to anyone foolhardy enough to consider making a great ship out of a tired one.... Part one covers the initial deconstruction in St. Lucia and Puerto Rico.
NAI'A Premiere Liveaboard Diving
มุมมอง 9K15 ปีที่แล้ว
Ever wondered what it is like to dive some of the world's best reefs from the world's best-regarded liveaboard? Here's everything you need to know! Presented by owner Rob Barrel; shot and edited by UnderSeaProductions.com
pointless video waste of time
Why would a power boat have a sail on it?
I'm looking on Google maps, and I see something. I drop pinned it at the nose of it. I'll write D for degrees, 4D39'38.9'S 174D32'44.1"W -4.660811,-174.545571
Or maybe it's not that far down, and closer to the back end of Norwich City?
RIP Amelia...she died in Paradise..
Not really. IF they did land here, while it looks like paradise, it isn't. Very harsh conditions, no fresh water, no building supplies, huge meat eating crabs and extreme heat. I am well versed in self-sufficiency, prepping and living off the land, but I'd be lucky to last 2-4 months here without modern items, guns and water distillation supplies. This place is beautiful, but unforgiving.
Why didn’t Ballard discover this on his visit?
Good question Michael. TIGHAR didn't notice the anomaly until they reviewed the data a second time just as the recent AUV sonar hit in deep ocean was missed in real time. I think sonar surveying is an inexact science but Ballard's work has always been first class. Still, you can't prove that something isn't there; only that it is. So the mystery remains.
Y’all had one job..
3:13 fascinating insight on Nikumaroro access. Nice drone and underwater footage!
Is this Bayrl guy the one they call Patchy eye?
Google Earth brought me here... 😊
A tropical paradise, until you get there and realize there's no fresh water, there's giant crabs there to eat you and you can't call 911. Only the most skilled, trained and resilient survivalist could survive here, and ONLY if they brought along or was able to make reusable supplies to distill water. Foraging for food isn't that much of an issue, but the lack of fresh water and the harsh environmental elements will do you in. I myself am well versed on wild edibles, medicines and how to filter, distill and sanitize water for drinking. But I'd be lucky if I survived 2 months.
I would like to see photos of the dry reef.
Hi Jay: I flew the drone along Amelia's presumed landing path over the dry reef edge. The video is archived on a hard drive (which one?) but I can probably unearth it if is important. Rob
Cannot go along with the Nikumaroro theory. She was on course for Howland, Noonan would have set a course to be north of Howland not south. He had Amelia turn right (south) too soon, probably 20 miles too soon. Realizing his mistake he had her fly a ladder search (N then S then E then N and S again. They then ran out of fuel 10/12 miles due southwest of Howland died on impact or drowned at sea. Looking for her on Nikumaroro instead of off Howland in the ocean is like loosing your keys in the ocean but walking a mile to the board walk and looking for them there because the lighting is better and there is no water. She never once tells the Itasca (her only lifeline in the Pacific) they are flying south to Nikumaroro or any other place. Not one word!! Her last radio transmission she said they were flying south then north ( presumably looking for the island). Then after not saying a word on her radio flying the 2 1/2 hour flight on no fuel to Nikumaroro, you have her calling for help for days as a castaway. Nope, it just don't make sense.😆😆😆
I believe any aircraft parts swept out to sea, to the depths...nothing to retain it there. I do believe from all the info out there, Amelia was there...and died there...RIP Amelia, what a wonderful adventurer and lady. Wish I could have met you.....
a 700 pound engine is not going to wash away anywhere
I've never heard of corral bleaching. What is that and how does it affect marine life:
Coral bleaching happens when the sea heats up so much that it kills the tiny animals that live inside coral and give it its color. The coral expels them and turns white. If the water cools again soon enough, the coral will survive, but if elevated temperatures last more than a couple of months, the coral dies and takes years or decades to recover.
@@NAIAFiji Thank you for that information. I honestly didn't know what it meant. I hope the healing process continues, and btw, loved the video!
That's the place where 2 yrs later Emilia's remnants are recognised
Yes, and recent analysis of the bone measurements by a forensic anthropologist concluded that the bones found on the island were 99% likely to belong to Amelia Earhart.
@@NAIAFijiI always thought she crashed there
@@NAIAFiji That's a lie. The person that examined the bones right after the find said they were the bones of a stocky indigenous man. The bones were lost soon after that and nobody has ever actually seen them in person nor tested them.
I do believe the channel was exploded by dynamites by Mr. Gordon who later married to a Kiribati lady and lived in Kiribati ...... I knew it for I was young then living at Orona where he met my parents, Dad as a Dressor.
Thanks Sohko for the comment. Mr. Gordon didn't use any more dynamite than absolutely required because that channel is very narrow! Best fishes, Rob
Great work I will be watching for any further developments and would love to join an expedition.
Even if she knew her her antenna was compromised she wouldn’t want to land that heavy with fuel. Not sure if there was a way to drain fuel in emergency. That left seat canopy hatch must hinge both left and right.
SO THEY FOUND NOTHING
Has Nikumaroro ever been surfed...? Its got potential....! !
Gov coverup. We know she survived because of radio calls. Too bad she had no receiver. That fact cost the whole show. Did it fall off. Left behind? I think the castaways died here with no water. Why did the ship leave.
Mrballen brought me here. Anyone else?
Lmfao me too..after I heard about the evil coconut crabs 😱😱😱
Everyone says it would be hell to be stranded here but I would just build a shelter and then I have unlimited 🦀
These Coconut Crabs can grow up to 3 feet in length and can crack open Coconut shells... hence the name, Coconut Crab. I am curious as to what you would do for unsalted drinking water though...
She had fantasies about being a castaway
Would’ve been nice to see the island up close and personal; that’s why I gave you thumbs down.
Thank you Fred Noonan , the most forgotten and overlooked wingman in history , may be it has something to do with your gender
For real I go on google earth and see a red air plane crash in the water and you had it on your camera why did you not go look at it
What? You got the coordinates?
I landed ther on Mfs 2020 really a poor island with no chances to survive very long if she really crashed here it must have been such a horrible dead for a young person i honor her she made incredible flights in that days wow wherever she is she will always be remembered
why do we still look for her, what's the point anymore.
Hmm good question maybe because people want to find everyone everything which got lost others want to find the plane i guess a museum would pay millions i guess if they would get the plane of her its all because of money always.
People love to solve mysteries. Give people a story with something missing and they will spend years poring over the details, trying to figure it out. This is one of the best.
oh ok, so in that case i guess the sooner the better !
@@nantereeko8414 ?? Why would there be a rush after all these years? You seem to have gone from one extreme to the other. I'm just saying, that's why people continue to look. If someone finds the plane, or something conclusive, the mystery will be over and it will stop.
@@jtidema ok okay, I am just wondering if there is anymore relevance other than the mystery. it's like a bigfoot thing on a tiny island.
A free targeted Oriental boats' fishing/harvesting spot that'll rip off by stealing our resources in few days...maritime patrols should take serious concentration in monitoring,...
it looks like a lovely place, save the man-eating crabs and the human remains
Well, her trailing antenna, VITAL for HF communications broke off during the PNG departure. I know, as I spoke to Sid Marshall as a teenager, who was a veteran pilot operating in PNG at the time. Sid also helps Earhart and Noonan re-fuel. One thing that always puzzles me is WHY Fred Noonan went along with it. I thought they would have turned around and landed to fix it, but the axel weight was too high for the landing gear.
Hi Station Manager: thanks for your comments. Because this TH-cam page is for my ship NAI'A and not monitored by TIGHAR, I'll send them your comments in an email. Thanks, Rob
@@NAIAFiji Thanks very much SM
Is the landing channel dangerous because of the possibility of the ship running aground on the reef, or is there another reason? Thanks in advance.
Hi! There is no anchorage at all for the ship, so you must live boat or tie off to the propeller shaft of the wreck on the reef. A well-run skiff can enter the small landing channel but it is dangerous because there is often surf closing out the mouth. Nikumaroro is a difficult place all around...!
The danger is for a wave to flip the landing craft.
blah blah, a bunch of pseudoscientific sounding baloney from tree-hugging, shark-kissing wannabe scientists, talking about ecosystems when they couldn't find what they're really looking for. A return to common sense would be better than this yuppie idiocy.
I hope this theory is proven correct someday but I find it hard to believe that she was low on fuel and yet somehow flew hundreds of miles to the south to land on this island. If it were 100 miles or less sure but this is beyond pushing it.
What i found on the internet is that it was a plane failure and she crashed what really happend only god knows but what we all know is that if she really crashed here it was impossible to survive if not found after three days i guess ther is no freshwater you can maybe survive one or two days maybe 5 days but i think not much longer the island of Cast Away for example had a little bit more resources for everyone yes my english is bad no practisce anymore in writeing and spelling lol but understanding it still works good
She was already south of Howland Island when she was low on fuel. It’s not like she was north and then flew the pattern south. Makes no sense anyway. She would’ve found HI.
@@LieorDie24 people can survive a while in the right circumstances… 30+ days with zero food (need water). They probably could have lasted a few months or more with what they could find to eat. Finding drinkable water would be hard…(can’t drink ocean water).
could she over shot island then
could she land in middle the island
Hi Larry: TIGHAR searched the lagoon on one of their early trips thinking that she may have successfully landed where overwash had cleared the scrub and then crashed into the lagoon while trying to take off again. But no plane parts were found in the lagoon. So it remains most likely that she landed on the reef-flat on the outside of the island before the plane was washed out to sea....
She landed on the reef! There is a picture somewhere out there showing one of the Electras' landing gear. Amelia died of exposure on that island.
What an interesting video! The narrator's voice is perfect for this-calm, intelligent, no hype... This video is what would get me into an IMAX theatre again. Well, I am scared of too much under water footage, but the whole thing about getting people to the island and how dangerous it is. The drone really helped show that path. Very neat video! Thank you!!!
instablaster...
Tru first thing i realise😅
Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart. Farewell, first lady of the air.
It wasn't at all happy landings she will have been ripped apart sorry to break it to you but her death was horrible search it if you want to but it's not nice
Sweet video. That place looks awesome, but a hell to be stranded on.
Thank you! I've been hoping for follow-up info on the latest TIGHAR expedition. This is it.

@@patriciainfante1910 A most interesting article! Thanks for posting it.
she flew maui before her trip
👎 for your unnecessary annoying musoc👎👎
Waisting their time searching Nikumaroro. Check off Howland Island, even go several miles out searching with an ROV. The Electra is 18,000 feet at the bottom. The Itasca anchored off Howland Island at the time of the disappearance, stated Earhart was very close by since her signal was strong. Nikumaroro is too far away. Too much $$ and resources looking in the wrong place. No wonder the plane wreckage hasn't been found. Again devote money to searching off Howland Island several miles if need be.
The Itasca was off Howland Island. Earhart never landed there, nor crashed within visual range.
They literally have plane wreckage on Nikumaroror idiot
Hello from Ukraine 🇺🇦✌️
God Bless all of you
Just need a helicopter to get on the island and James Cameron's ROV.
