I just received this book. I bought it after watching your video. I bought it at Amazon Germany for only 30€ and I am very happy about this recommendation from your channel🤗 It‘s a book to get lost in for a good couple of hours
The key element for such a good conditions of Baltic wrecks is low salinity - on average about 7 per mille. This limits the occurrence of organisms that eat wood in conditions of ocean salinity, and also slows down the rate of corrosion of metal elements of wrecks. Many thanks for the selection of substantive content and... beautiful photos!!
Following up on the theme park "Dark Ride" concept I spoke of earlier, several scenes come to mind: 2:01 A skeleton manning the helm, hearing the wind howl, flash of lightning, roar of thunder, "Avast ye maties, strike the mainsail, store the mizzenmast, we be in a blow!!" 3:44 The passageway leaning left and right, the ship heard moaning and groaning. 6:30 A skeleton manning the cannon: "Is that the best ya got matie? Standby for this!!" (BLAM!! Cannon fires).
Thank you for another great video. The photos are excellent. Each ship would have a very interesting story to tell. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
I can see why you like these wrecks. They did a great job of shooting the wrecks. Look into Becky Kegan Schott Elinor. She dives crazy wrecks and has some stuff you’ll like as well. She is into it and gets amazing camera shots of wrecks. She would love the Baltic.
I will definitely have to look into her! I love these breath-taking shots and would love to see her work! Thank you so much for sharing that, my friend, it's always great to see you!
Baltic sea is littered with wrecks that have been forgotten by time. One of the more known ones in my region is the Russian warship Rusalka wreck. She disappeared in 1893 while traveling to Finland, taking with it everyone aboard. Almost a century later the wreck was found by a expedition coordinated by the Estonian Maritime Museum. The wreck before that remained illusive and despite the Gulf of Finland is not that large by scale. It has many areas that are unexplored and hard to access.
@@shipwrecksunday Rusalka is probably more known for the monument erected to the dead sailors than the wreck itself. But is cultural significant none the less. What makes the Baltic sea wrecks deadly is the tons of unexloded sea mines and torpedo's that are still left on the sea floor. Not to mention areas where chemical weapons from previous world wars have been dumped. So exploring the sea floor has risks.
if you do videos about baltic sea shipwrecks( there are ALOT since we have always had wars in here)you should do the video about Russalka shipwreck, its very rare shipwreck , only one of the 2 vertical shipwrecks in the world , half of the wreck is also buried in the mud , pretty interesting , sad that you cant really dive there tho cause its busy shipping route and everything in here is so muddy , very bad visibilty
There is another scary thing on the bottom of the Baltic Sea. After both World Wars, about 1.6 million tons of ammunition was sunk there, including 5000 tons of chemical weapons.
Amazing underwater photos. The SMS Undine was built with a "Ramming" Bow as you can see in the picture of her. If you want to know more about Naval Architecture and history of ship building, watch the You Tube channel Drachinifel. He did a special episode just about how when the first steel ships were being built, that they all had bows designed just for the age-old naval tactic of ramming an enemy ship as had been done for centuries prior. If you could do a video on the Wilhelm Gustloff sunk on Jan. 30, 1945, that would be great. I still believe that the "Amber Room Palace" pieces were onboard her when she was torpedoed while evacuating German civilians from the E. Prussia area ahead of the Soviet advance towards Berlin. ❤
I have to admit I wasn't aware that the shipwrecks in the Baltic sea don't deteriorate as badly. I wasn't skeered though 🤣🤣 Good video Elinor, i learned something new.
@shipwrecksunday what would be a cruel, but fun prank to pull on a group. Set up an older ship anchored off shore a little ways. Take a sightseeing group to the old ship & tell them tall tales of being haunted. Have a crew hidden on board & when the sightseeing group gets there, the crew on the ship starts slamming doors, opening doors, set up video equipment & make it look like apparitions! See how many people in the sightseeing group tries "walking on water"!🤣🤣
What do you guys think of the ghost ships of the Baltic Sea?!
@@shipwrecksunday very interesting 👍
always impressed with the amount of research you have done :)
Love it
Anything with ghosts.
Those ships are just beautiful. Just well preserved. More of them please
This is what the wrecks of the Great Lakes looked like before zebra mussels. Very cool.

Cool. Thanks for sharing as always.
Thanks so much for watching, my friend!
👻Boo! Good day Elinor. Hope you are well.
Boo!! Have a great day, my friend, thank you so much!
Welcome Back !
Thank you ❤️❤️
In addition to the cold water, I also thought the Baltic had low o2 levels that helped preserve the wrecks.
I believe you are correct!

How about a video on the HMS Birkenhead?

@@andreaslermen2008 that's horrifying :( and so bad for the planet!

I did cover the Gustloff, luckily, such a tragic story! Thank you so much for adding to this and for shouting out Drach! He's amazing!
FAST, AND TO MUCH INFORMATIONS IN A SHORT TIME!👎
@@doorgunnerangel4105 well, it is called "Fast Facts Friday". 😂

Good video Elinor, i learned something new.
@@Chevyman02 this one was mildly spooky 😂 there are so many great wrecks, and now I know where I'll be looking more frequently 😂
