Strangely enough you must not have been interested enough to search TH-cam. There have been videos made about this by just about every boat/sea related channel for years. Waterlinestories is only the latest one.
Greetings from the soon to be frozen Baltic Sea! I've been told to stop watching your videos at sea but in my experience it's good luck to have a South African onboard!
Me too. I watch every video multiple times that’s ever been made about it. Only thing I wish is that they would emphasize more just how much of a hero Captain Gary and his son were. It’s all but proven that had they not acted the way they did once it got out of control none of them would have survived.
These guys did the appropriate safety drills, how to put on safety suites, and even discussed weather forcasts and how to broadcast a Mayday call. They were as prepared as they should have been yet it still happened so quickly that only 2 survived. A real eye opener how fast things can go from under control to straight peril in the blink of an eye.
That area sucks in that wind, it always blows more than predicted and wraps around in directions that drive you nuts. It had been exceptionally warm leading up, and the storm that rolled in dropped it fast. Whole region went from abnormally warm to cold in a matter of hours, storm also hit numbers well higher than predicted. Was a tragedy, harsh part of the profession.
I can't believe they didn't have accurate method for calculating the extra load from the accumulating ice. The captain probably thought that the ice load was not severe enough to sink the ship even if he made a 180degree turn and exposed the ice weighed side away from the wind, but the inaccuracy of the ice weight load calculation must of toppled the ship on its side.
This is after the big shake up in the industry in the early seasons of Deadliest Catch, that some Captains blamed on the show, where safety regulations were tightened and the number of pots allowed to be carried was heavily reduced. I can only imagine the outcome had those rules not changed.
One of the survivors, Jon, is a family friend. I briefly ran into him in '20, literally days before COVID lockdowns. Survivor's guilt is a real thing. I hope he's doing better.
People without any sense of responsibility dont get survivors guilt. Survivors guilt is a person tormenting themself with the question if they did everything within their capability to prevent an event or to save victims. Sometimes they need the simple affirmation that they did what they could, and its not their fault that they couldnt do enough to prevent a tragic event...
In Iraq (2004-2005) I was pulled out of my gun truck prior to a patrol so that the Platoon Medic could take my spot since his truck was down. An hour or so later my gun truck was hit by a large (4 to 6 artillery shells clustered and buried in the dirt roadway) IED. The blast completely obliterated the HMMWV instantly killing my Squad Leader and driver and severely wounding the Medic and two other members of my gun truck crew. Since I was back at base all I could do was listen on the radios and cry. The three living were Medevaced out to Germany then the States and I never saw them again. This hit me hard but the next morning I was back on patrol and life and combat pressed on. I finished out the tour and returned home. About a year later I was scheduled to undergo spinal surgery for a non-combat injury (5-ton truck crash) I had incurred on that same tour. I had already been cleared to deploy for a short training mission to Germany (from the States) beforehand, but at the last moment my First Sergeant decided to keep me behind because of the impending surgery. I had no idea why, but I immediately started crying uncontrollably and this continued for several days. It wasn't till later that I put two and two together and realized the being pulled off a mission and my team going without me brought all those emotions back with a vengeance. Six years and two more combat tours later I required a third major surgery for the same spinal injury (it had crushed every disc from L-1 on down and obliterated L-4/L-5 to the point it needed to be removed, and according to the 1st surgeon a piece of the disc about the size of my thumb to the first joint was shoved into the canal meant for my spinal cord) I was Med Boarded and Medically Retired mainly for the spinal injury, along with hearing loss from a different IED (that was large & close enough to sustain temporary burns on my hands and face), a rebuilt ankle and metal in my shoulder from surgery. Note: Infantry is HARD on the body. I still find a tear rolling down my cheek for no particular reason every once in a while, and it hurts to think about the friends and brothers lost over the years. That's my experience with Survivor's Guilt... SSG. U.S. Army (Medically Retired) Infantry / Sniper / SOF Intel (SOT-A), multiple tours
Brave air crews heading out in those conditions. It reminds me of when a rescue helicopter off the west coast of Ireland hit a lighthouse on a rock off the coast of Co Mayo Ireland. All 4 crew died. There was a fishing boat with an sick crew member calling for help. Given the distance off shore 2 helicopters were dispatched, one to give assistance the other to be in support role. Returning to shore they followed a digital map. It turned out this large rock with a lighthouse on top was not in the digital map for reasons I don’t know. Many lighthouses date from the 1800s and of course are on paper charts. At the last moment the pilot tried to avoid the lighthouse but it was too late.
such a harrowing story of survival. the Bering Sea has taken many lives, and it is what inspired my interest in naval catastrophes. very interesting details in this story, and I appreciate the way you told it. sometimes the best way to commemorate the loss of someone is to tell their story, and I believe you've done the Scandies Rose's crew justice.
One of my Favourite Channels! Thorough, factual & an Easy Listen!! My Grandfather was a Lobster Fishermen off the Eastern Coast of Canada, a different breed! He would have loved this Channel & Content >
A friend of mine used to be a mercant navy seaman on freighters with cargo holds. I asked him about ice and his reaction was visibly serious: "oh yeah, ice is dangerous because you don't even need a rough sea, it just builds up until the ship turns over. Captains always had us chipping ice off in any weather."
Hey man, been having a bad few days, was nice to see something from you to take my mind off it. An excellent video about a topic that honestly has not been covered well by others. Thanks man!
It just occurred to me... I don't think we've ever gotten your name, bruv. If you share it or not, that's entirely your business, of course, but *have* you given it and I've just missed it? I know my friend Mike Brady of Oceanliner Designs... curious about the legend behind Waterline Stories :) Either way, another banger vid. Perked me right up getting this notification. Love the channel, keep up the good work! 💙
Outstanding work. Thank you. I'm surprised that in such conditions they'd leave the metal mesh boxes exposed, since they have such a huge surface area for ice to stick to and are so high off the deck.
This is a great channel man. The production value is just right and your in depth analysis of the events is great. In fact...its a bit too good and some of us are trying to sleep here!!
Big bro i came across your channel about a week ago and im hooked😂. Love and respect from Western Australia 🇦🇺. Amazing work. I literally have not come across a bad video all great. I can barely even swim, but i feel i need to buy a boat😂❤
The pots shown in the footage arent the same type that would have been used. They are several meters large, as can be seen by their relative size compared to the ship in the 3d renders used during the video
Rough stretch of coastline, have had some close scrapes in that region over the years. Seems like it is always colder and higher winds than predicted and comes up with a ferocity that doesn't seem possible. This was a boat and crew regarded as solid, with a captain that had been around the block. Sometimes the ocean just has its day and its just a tragedy. This one certainly hit hard locally.
wow! an hour out i'm never this early! you've pretty much single handedly resparked my love for maritime trade and boats!! these videos really give me a sense of how disasters can and do happen beyond mechanical failures and acts of god!
Sad. You know they didn’t drill well enough the emergency procedures. There seems to be a casualness of the crew in the testimony, or just happening too fast. Seems there should be a battle stations for the crew when it got tense.
It doesn't matter if a captain makes a good decision or a bad decision the sea always makes the call doesn't it. Hundreds of years of shipwrecks are proof. It seems like we should have figured out a better way to catch fish than to actually go out into the water where you are most likely to die and end up in a TH-cam video at best.
I realize that including errors, miscalculations, misjudgments, is required in presenting the full story... But the tiny little zooms and musical shifts are a bit silly. You're not perfect, I'm not perfect, the Coast Guard members aren't perfect, nor were the deceased members of the sunken vessel... You're good at the facts...just stick to the facts...
You know you are free to make your own TH-cam channel. Do all the research editing man hour's, or are you just that guy that has to be negative. Need a hug bruz😂❤

Thanks for covering the scandies rose, ever since deadliest catch I was always interested in learning in more detail exactly how it went down.
👍🏻
I remember in Deadliest Catch, captain Sig ordering crew on deck with sledges, because he doesnt want to go the way of (Scandies Rose)...

Tell him -> "Cupcake's children say, 'Goodluck to our fellow South African.'"
No matter how many times I hear this story it always gets me. Tragic. Thanks for the upload, Mate. Take care, fair winds.

It seems crazy to me that it took 90 minutes to launch the helo after the mayday call. That’s an eternity in an emergency.

My uncle knew everyone on that boat and it destroyed him when it went down thank you for making this video I’m sending this to him right now
Thanks. Please send my condolences. I can’t imagine losing a boat full of friends.
all those crabs probably thought they were finally off free when they hit the water again only to be perpetually trapped in cages on the sea floor
Ice is dangerous on both planes and boats. Gotta get that shit off man.
Hey Paul, you've done it again. Another great video 😉👌
Thanks Beverly. Great to see you here. 👍🏻
They should have a hot water cannon or jet wash to melt ice quick wouldn’t take much room or weight either
Lol it's too cold for that
You know you're in for a good 20-30mins when a new story emerges from below the waterline!
😂
Interesting and great delivery as always.
I can inspired to watch deadliest catch!
Yeah I watched it when I had discovery. It fell off my radar now that I just have streaming.
Big bro i came across your channel about a week ago and im hooked😂. Love and respect from Western Australia 🇦🇺. Amazing work. I literally have not come across a bad video all great. I can barely even swim, but i feel i need to buy a boat😂❤
Yes, buy a boat. Best day of your life. Second best, the day you sell it. 🤣
This is such a good and thorough channel
I have a lot of family in Alaska, including some in the fishing industry. It's a dangerous industry anywhere, but Alaska is a whole different beast
Another Great Video, Impressive keep it up, Thank you!!
👌🏻 thanks
Ruff n ready wasn't ready after all... That's a shame.
Great work as always, keep it up!
Brick immortar’s version of this is also unmissable. 🎉
Love Waterline Stories.
Great Video, but a sad story. I will never understand why these fisherman leave habour knowing storm is coming.
There’s always going to be some bad weather.
Wow.. RIP to the brave souls we lost on that day.
Excellent video.
👍🏻
Each pot weighs 800lb? And they just pass them from hand to hand? Seriously?
The pots shown in the footage arent the same type that would have been used. They are several meters large, as can be seen by their relative size compared to the ship in the 3d renders used during the video

I think of this whenever I see crab on a menu.

Yeah it’s incredible to see how it all fits together 👍🏻
God bless the Coast Guard. ❤
Once again a brilliant report
To catch the crab, you must become part of the crab 🦀
Mayday mayday, we're all gooners!
Had to replay 2:32, at first it didn't sound like "deckhands" ^^'
What a story such a shame rip 🙏
Fun fact: Prior to the Gulf War, this was considered the most dangerous job in the world
I wonder if they could have saved it by tossing the crab pots overboard, assuming the ice hadn't locked them in place..
It takes the crane to do that, not enough real time. Then factor in the ice build up.. tragic chain of events
Sad. You know they didn’t drill well enough the emergency procedures. There seems to be a casualness of the crew in the testimony, or just happening too fast. Seems there should be a battle stations for the crew when it got tense.
How about some good boats that are still in use like the zone 5 or a old ship the Raven
Do the math.......9 meter waves + 0C degree water = yikes.
its sad that they didn't recover the bodies. also, what if by some chance people were stuck in the wreckage in air pockets like that African
It doesn't matter if a captain makes a good decision or a bad decision the sea always makes the call doesn't it. Hundreds of years of shipwrecks are proof. It seems like we should have figured out a better way to catch fish than to actually go out into the water where you are most likely to die and end up in a TH-cam video at best.
48hr battery life on the eprb is shit
This captain was totally at fault for failing to remove the ice way earlier. What an idiot.
First🤟🤟🤟
