Ship is like a home that moves on the water. But just like normal homes, sometimes ships get abandoned. They either meet with misfortune and can’t be salvaged, or they’re no longer fit for purpose, leaving us with just the shell of their former magnificence.

The Kalakala (which is pronounced ka/lak/ala) was still in service when I was a kid and I rode on her once. She vibrated like a wash machine on spin cycle with an unbalanced load. She spent a long time after being brought back from being a processor at the foot of Lake Union until a court order forced her to be towed to Tacoma where several years later she was scrapped. There is still a model of her in the museum of history and industry in Seattle.
the second ship SS America actually started out as a cruise liner but was converted to a war ship during the war then back to a liner. It didn't start out as a ship for battle.
StoryWhispers ASMR it also was a cargo ship twice right?
Joseph Stalin I've never heard anything about it being a cargo ship, only liner, war, liner
@@Stalin99 Not as far as I am aware, it doesn't have the structure for cargo anyways. Just liner, war then liner. It was passed around a fair bit in it's life though and re-painted many times too.
@Jambo yes, liners. 🤣
Yeah I think he confused the America with the United States which did start out as a troop carrier
New title " 15 Cool ships that were deconstructed for scrap " There I fixed it for you.
Yep you can’t visit them if they are scrapped unless you want to see a pile of metal
3:59 "It became ugly and toxic"
Sounds like my ex
Epic
Same
Jk
Eh
Also sounds like a lot of fanbases
This is better than abandoned TH-cam channels.
As a child growing up in the 1950's I use to see the Kalakala plying the waters from Seattle to Bremerton daily. From a distance on a sunny day show shown as a sparkling silver image on the waters of Puget Sound.
She was built on the hull of a burned out ferry. The top sides were constructed out of aluminum. The hull though had warped from the fire and I remember riding her how she would shimmy and rattle her way across the Puget Sound. A part of my childhood died when she was finally scrapped. I have fond Memories.
Anyone else here at 2 am and terrified? I don’t know why I watch these. They scare the life out of me.
I agree, So many ships SCRAPPED to me is not Abandoned. Titling misnomers are becoming too common on TH-cam. To me (and others) Abandoned means left, walked away from. Not stranded, sold for scrap, or wrecked.
Thing is, they were scrapped AFTER they were abandoned
yes abandoned and scrapped are not the same
I agree there is a true distinction between scrapped, abandoned, sold, lost etc etc, and you tubers ignorance of the difference is becoming more and more prevalent all the time, thumbnails are another way you tubers exploit the inquisitive nature of viewers, using thumbnails that either have none or very tenuous relevance to the actual video content, they can’t be very confident in their content or presentation, otherwise they would find a thumbnail totally relevant to their work.
Ren Camilo Echeandia, that only applies to some of these segments, but mostly not. Abandoned in my book means just left with no intention of ever retrieving, repairing, selling, or scrapping.
@@allandavis8201 So, you know everything about everything. Tell me, what is the 'Exact' speed of light. Off the top of your head please. Since that is what you are complaining about.
Correction: The MV Kalakala was not originally built, but REBUILT with her art-deco skin. She was first launched in 1926 as the Peralta, a conventional looking vessel that saw service as a ferry until 1933 when she was severely damaged by fire. The hulk was rebuilt, renamed Kalakala and re-launched in 1935. So her trademark ultra-modern shell was added almost a decade after she was built under a different name. Just so you know.
Glad I read this. Kind of discredits the entire video
Hmm having been around her and even delivered fish there in her last days operating in Gibson Cove I'd not heard this. My grandmother was on the Kalakala's maiden voyage and I was involved with removing some of the equipment out of Gibson Cove in Kodiak.
The S.S. America was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy for service as a troop transport during WWII, but she was designed and launched as a luxury ocean liner and saw brief service as such, just prior to the start of the war. In late 1954, my parents and older sister (an infant, at the time) emigrated to the U.S. from England via the S.S. America. Mom and Dad had wonderful stories about the journey and about being on board such a magnificent ship. Her end was a sad one, coming as close as she did to a new purpose and life.
Not really abandoned if they are taken apart and sold for scrap.
Indeed
and hardly strange, its literally just a list of ships that got scrapped
Well not all of them Got scrapped
Since I can say that home bush bay does have some abandoned ships that are still sitting there such as one of them being shown in the video
Well yeah, but a title like "15 regular out of hte ordinary scrappy rusty ships that were scrapped sometime ago" is not a very click baity title, now is it?
They all were abandoned at some point, the title doesn't say "15 currently abandoned ships" so it is a correct title.
Great Video...Most interesting...Like your style, So now I am a new subscriber...
Restoring these abandoned ships costs millions. It is terrific if one of those ships used to rescue North Korean women, kids and men demanding to leave for Canada and Australia. Once fully restored, adding solar panels and wind turbines is a must for them.
Thank's, one of the better video's I've seen lately.
I love these random videos like this. Not really sure why I searched this. But I enjoyed the video!
10:04 The ship was featured in the Amazon show "The Grand Tour", season 1 "The Beach (buggy) Boys"
Cool yes! Thanks for the heads up.
The terms french engineering and military can only bring smiles to the faces of people that understand france.
Howard Johnson, That reminds me of what Gun Jesus says “ the French copy no one and no one copy’s the French”
i actually really enjoyed the video.
Fun Fact
The Sea Shadow was used in a James Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies"
green1350 🍸Shayyykn not shtirred
Thanks Paul Blart!!
Fun fact, the company I worked for had the sea shadow on the drydock they bought but had to destroy it
Still makes me sad that they just scrapped it.
@@woooweee It leaked. A lot. It was a prototype after all and not built to last long.
great video
Amazing video💯
The IX-529 Sea Shadow was stored with the mothball fleet in Suisun Bay across from USS Iowa until it was scrapped.
It hurts to see something that people work so hard being destroyed I'll always miss these ships
FYI, The RV Arctic Discoverer, has not been broken up. I work for a company, who is in negotiations, about sinking her as an artificial reef.
8:08 Tourists are save 😅 But what about the 200k workers? 🤔
Great video. Thanks.
Your timeline of the Kalakala is off. It was originally constructed for and operated in the SF Bay area as the Peralta from 1926 until 1933 when it was partially destroyed in a fire. The hull was then purchased by the PNSC and rebuilt into the Kalakala and operated in Puget Sound from 1935 until 1967, when it was originally mothballed. In 1970 it was towed up to Alaska and first used as a crab cannery for about a year before being beached in Kodiak to process shrimp. It kept processing shrimp until 1984 when it was bought and re-floated over the course of 14 years, then towed back down to Seattle in 1998 where it just sat as a bit of an eyesore until 2004 when it was sold again and moved out to Neah bay, then the owner was almost immediately sued by the Makah tribe (who allowed him to moor it there in the first place) so it got moved again to Tacoma, where it stayed until it was finally scrapped but not after changing hands one final time.
I miss that boat. It was an eyesore but goddammit, it was OUR eyesore.
Indeed. I had hopes of its restoration (was a member of the Kalakala Foundation), but once you heard engineers say it would be significantly cheaper to build a new one than to revive the old, I knew its time was limited. It was sad to learn that Bremerton (a city in which it once served) had offered a significant sum for immediate repairs if the foundation would park it next to the Turner Joy. The foundation refused, stating they wanted it to be a 'Seattle' landmark. I dropped my membership then and there.
Damn rights it was!!! I grew up with her. I rode her shimmying and shuttering decks many times.
Crikey, seems that there're errors all over this piece. You're absolutely correct. Glad you caught this and posted the correction. I was about to do the same. When it was moored in Lake Union in the early 00's they were even billing it as a venue for wedding ceremonies. In 2001 my fiancée and I were looking at places and went on a tour for that very purpose. As unique and interesting as it was for a spot to get married in I recall it being ridiculously expensive. Some years later an ironic twist of fate was to be shared between the two. Much like the demise of the Kalakala the marriage fell into disrepair, began listing until it was eventually hauled off and scrapped at considerable expense...
The IX-529 should have been saved & sent to a museum 😪
I don't think so to big
It would have been pretty cool to see that one of a kind ship
i just love it how my boi hayden christensen was crying in this lmao at 5:27
Rode on the Kalakala when I was a kid in the '60's. I remember how streamlined and modern it looked. Inside was another deal though, it looked dated and creaked loudly.
I drove past it several times when it was at Northlake. I can't say I really fault the guy for trying to save it but it was too far gone by that time.
Drove by it often while it was in Hylebos water way just before it was scrapped.
Somebody stole an aircraft carrier? Wow! Why? How? Now I'm curious to learn more about that.
About 54 tug boats depends on the size
I mean about 2 huge ones if ya don't wanna spend money and 6 medium if you wanna spend about 198 and about 54 small ones if you cheap and that cost 60 dollars
Lumby1 , me too!
It was only boarded by activists. What were they trying prove is the question.
Lumby 1
It's not hard to steal an aircraft carrier if they leave the key in the ignition.
@ 1:47 is footage of the stage (and Newberry Memorial Organ) in Woolsey Hall, New Haven, Ct
Errrmmmm nope. SS America is an ocean liner. She was requisitioned by the United States Navy during World War 2 as a troop transport, as large passenger ships are the best methods of transporting troops. She was absolutely not "intended" for military service, but was just unlucky enough to be completed during times of war, as was the case for HMHS Britannic (intended as RMS Britannic) and RMS Queen Elizabeth, 2 other large passenger ships requestioned by the UK admiralty just after completion for various wartime uses.
Very interesting about the origins of the Chittagong shipbreakers however !
Yes ,the liners were quite fast as well.
As a retired sailor who served on three different US aircraft carriers, I take umbrage at the comparison of that little French POS and our aircraft carriers. No way was that boat comparable to the finest of our nation. Hell, it wasn't even in the same category of the USS Midway, which first hit the high seas in the 1940s and was decommissioned in the early 1990s.
Quality not quantity....sometimes well that is a British POV....US carriers are quite amazing i wonder how the QE and POW are going to be...
I spent 3 years on Midway!
Uss America started off as a cruise liner , then a troop transport, and then again as a liner.
Pretty sure he confused it with the S.S. United States
Plenty of people actually explored SS America before she broke apart/sank, and there's a pub on the island that's largely decorated/equipped with items taken from the abandoned ship.
When I was a kid I saw a big cruise ship and it was pleasing to the eye to see ship leaning on the side close to the shore, it was like a WOW thing or like "don't climb on it" type of thing. Sad that there many abandoned ships around Europe, as its bad for the environment.
9:20 - How do you figure concrete ships didn't turn out? There were successful concrete-hulled oceangoing ships, starting in 1917.
Were they not just towable hulls though?
Likely because the concept is ridiculous LoL
Curtis Barker it’s not ridiculous, they are still used.
I recall some floating concrete boxes that were used during the Normandy D-day landings, I would imagine as a sort of makeshift dock. Not a boat, but closest thing in my memory.
The pinnacle of french engineering: a giant steel bagette
LMAO
SS America wasn't designed for the war. She was designed and used as a luxury liner. During the war was uses as a troop transporter, along with almost every cruse liner of the time. After the was she was turned back into a cruse liner and gradually declined until she ran aground in 1994.
Excellent background stories!
I really enjoy your content keep it
At the 3:28 mark you showed the wrong Murmansk. You showed the former USS Milwaukee; an Omaha class cruiser that was given to the Soviet Union in 1944 and renamed Murmansk. That ship was returned to the U.S in 1949 and scrapped the same year. The newer Murmansk ran aground in 1994.
Wow only 5 years? Man the Soviets must have worn that ship hard
Awesome!
Epic and a Great Vid!
Everyone reading this have a Great day! You too Amazing Stocks!
Wow! What an uplifting comment, may God pour out His blessings on you!
The Arctic Discoverer is still in a ship yard in Florida just recently visited it . Yes it being dismantled but it still is afloat and can be seen
1:05 Love the way this guy pronounces Hartlepool
1:03
Pisses me off
He didn't do very well on Kalakala either. Accent is on the second syllable. kuh-LACK-uh-luh. It's okay though. Nobody pronounces Coast Salish words correctly without prompting.
My Ex Father Inlaw was one of the last Captains to run that Ferry at 1:10.
The second one the “kolakollah” was moored in Tacoma, Washington, for years up until it was scrapped in 2015, I saw it almost every day before it was scrapped.
Wyatt Chesson that's cool
Yea u smart
Drove by it often in Hylebos
dude what a channel!
Concrete ships were originally attempted by the US Merchant Marine during WWI. Steel was in short supply, but the demand for new merchant ships was large. So concrete ships came to be. Some were ready before war’s end, but I don’t think any ever saw wartime use. They were all quickly declared surplus, and many were abandoned...where they still lie on US coastlines. Some were sold into civilian service, where they were quickly retired due to being highly expensive to operate (aka fuel hogs)
5.40 it must cost the insurance companies millions but it's remarkable the number of ships that get wrecked just after they've been refurbished and buildings that are burned down just after they've had usually expensive upgrading.
Humans: Leaving toxic garbage everywhere.
Genuinely interesting video.
I'm sure the RN and USN, with multiple Battleships and state of the art carriers really feared Russian cruisers *rolls eyes*
0:18 Wasn't that the one "starin" in the movie "Crimson Tide"?
My father took me on the Kalakala when I was six years old. I thought it was called "kalakala" because it rattled continually. Well, you've explained the rattle and what finally happened to her. Thanks.
11:55 the guy actually says it's floating. LOL.....don't think so there captain. It is not "afloat" it is aground and it's not a "frame" it's a hull.
Sad to see these magnificent ships crumble away, but like many works of man, they fall prey to the ravages of time. Reminds me of a large abandoned cruise ship that was docked for many years near Buffalo, New York. I passed this ship almost every day for five years on my way to and from work. I had hoped that she could be refurbished and made back into a usable vessel, but last I heard she was towed out to Lake Ontario where she broke away from the towing cables, foundered and sank.
The French aircraft Carrier only worked in reverse. That’s just funny. Thumbs up people.
In a pinch, the ship's white flags could be rigged into a sa...273 sails.
8:16 - The name wasn't trnslated correct as "Дружный" is not "Friendly" but actually more close to "United by friendship" by the meaning. Anyway thank you for the information! I've seen this ship very often in my childhood and was always wondering what it was doing there.
Zortorond I'm Russian to
Я русская
I remember visiting the cherry venture when i was a kid, it was all there but completely painted brown with rust, might have stayed longer on the beach if morons didn't climb on it and get hurt on the rusted edges, now if you go back to its final resting place you can still find bits of rusted metal under the sand that they didn't completely scrap.
@ 1.07 it is called Kala Kala But phonetically it is callackuhluh . In the early 2000s an artist was going to restore it but couldn't get enough funding so it languished and was eventually mostly sold for scrap . I briefly was inside it when it was in alaska being used as a cannery . The art deco inside was remarkable . I noticed but I dont think hardly anyone else did . I have the impression that most people in the fishing business in Kodiak would think of the person who could appreciate the interior of that boat as strange .
Where’s Hartulpool...? 😂 tbf, you pronounce it better than the people from there. 😂
Yea - it should be like this Heart-lee-pool.
welshy 46 nice one!
Hartlepool also has the 2nd oldest floating wooden warship HMS Trincomalee, they also have the wingfield castle seeing in the film the elephant man starring John hurt
The Eduard Bohlen ran aground in 1909 on a sand bar. A little over 100 years later, the same ship now lies a 1/4 mile inland. So much for that rising sea level theory...lol!
Great video
As a heads up, it's pronounced "Hart-Lee-Pool", not "Hartle-Pool."
Beat me to it. Lol
@@andyjamess Dito
Yeah, i wish they would do some research on how to pronounce UK place names correctly (or is that correctle).
He also said "Bar-sa" instead of "Bas-ra"
you put a H in it, we don't have H's in Artlepool. LOL
after a decade of interest, i think i just realized i’m passionate and have an interest in ships
Funny you mention the Cherry Venture but not the SS Maheno - a far more interesting shipwreck that still exists today on the Queensland coast :)
Exactly what I was thinking. Maheno must have been a beautiful ship in her prime.

SS Selma in Galveston, Texas. An American made concrete ship. There’s some good videos on it.
Good fishing spot, go there all the time
KulaKula is not pronounced KallaKalla geezuz! Its The Kuh lock uh laa. That's like screeching a chalkboard to us up here.
I grew up in Ventura and the channel islands diving. I saw the Sea Shadow a few time on the back side of the islands. We got buzzed the first time we saw it by F-14. We were heading Catalina from Anacapa diving.
3:31 is an the US Omaha Class Murmansk (ex CL-5 Milwaukee), sold to Russia, not the actual Soviet one that ended up in Norway later.
There were two ships named Murmansk, talked about the second ship which was Made in Soviet Union
The SS Ayrfield is just one of a number of wrecks left sitting on the mangrove mud-flats of Homebush Bay, being the remnants of what was once a ship-breakers operation, & non of them have floated for an extremely long time!

I’m Australian, not Canadian

I want to explore these!
The weirdest thing about this video was India being worried about pollution.
Why is that hard to believe? 30 years of unlimited abuse has destroyed their most religious and iconic river. Each city is smog bound and each person has a 40 a day smoking habit, without smoking. The most toxic ship yard/ beach in the world. Just to name a tiny, very tiny problem area... India is so choked with humans, it makes the USA seem empty. Pollution and damage to life is visible. Like mice sealed tank of pollution for 3 generations.
Unfortunately corruption and laziness has been the main battle, lack of money to replace the 2 stroke is just one sticking point.
Our countries just make options available and they get replaced as and when... India very much a repair culture, 2 stroke is going to around a very long time unless banned out right.
Marcus Grant SAVE THE 2 STROKE ENGINE!!!!!! Fuck the environment!!!!
For the love of God, Bangladesh is not in India. It is India's neighbor.
@@filthyanimal874 I happen to have great affection for two stroke engines, simple durable powerful.
If you really want to " Save the world " Ban farting, billions of asses tooting away every single day. Then we can have more two stroke bikes - oh yeah!
john robinson hahaha!!! Couldn’t of said it better myself! Let’s ban fat liberals with their toxic greenhouse farts that smell like moldy cabbage.
The "America " was renamed the "Australis " We sailed from Southampton to Fremantle on it in 1974. Sad to see it in that state!
mechanic - 'the aircraft carrier was stolen by activists sir!'
Boss - 'don't worry they wouldn't get far...it's french'
Great video! Look up the SS Kyle in Harbour Grace.
Haha seeing the Bangladesh shipyards on the list makes me proud because me and my co workers handle one of the businesses that currently take place in Chittagong.
I was teaching my kid to ride a bike when I got the notification.
I hope he's ok, I'm about halfway through the video.
You left your kid on the bike? Really hope he hasn’t reached a hill. . .

@@RudolfdeLang Boo, hiss!
Rudolf de Lang He will be ok. Crisis situations speed the learning process
Just me or were you thinking ships that were still visible?
Just you
Not just you. If I read 'abandoned', it means something that still exists. Most of these were scrapped. No trace left of them, so they are hardly abandoned now, even if they were at some point in the past.
Great vid. Well edited and produced.
The Sea Shadow was too Good to Scrap!! It should have been donated to a Museum!
They tried saving the MV Kalakala and had plans to restore it as a privately operated ferry for Puget Sound. But it was so rusted out, there was just no way of saving it even if they had the resources and funding. Case in point, when they were scrapping it down in Tacoma, much of the hull literally crumbled to dust. With bare minimal effort from the frontloader (a minor collision with a dock in a storm would have sank it in a horrific instant.) It just wasn't seaworthy at all by that time. Even if it was, it still couldn't handle modern traffic. Which was why it was sold off by the state
I still can't believe they scrapped the Sea Shadow.
I didn't realize how common it is to just leave ships abandoned. Makes me wonder why the Costa Concordia was salvaged at a cost $300 million. It seems highly unlikely that they would have recouped their losses through scrapping the boat. Makes a lot more sense to just let it sit where it capsized and turn it into a tourist attraction!
Ehhhh
The name of the Washington State ferry is Kalakala, but it's pronounced Ka-LAK-kala, accent on the 2nd syllable. So funny the way he pronounced it. I saw it in Kodiak in 1971 where it was already abandoned and no longer used for canning seafood. Eventually it was towed back to Washington but never refitted as the owner planned before he ran out of money. She was eventually sold for scrap and broken up in Tacoma.
"Battleship" = / = "Guardship". No, just... No. You don't call a Non-Battleship a "Battleship".
Warship yes. But since this beaverbutt numbskull hasn't got a lot of his info correct in the first place, I'd say he's probably not Intelligent enough to do proper research.
Probably, but things like that are REALLY... Well... I get exceptional anal and OCB about things like that.
Nice video
Slight correction on the pronunciation of the MV Kallakala - It should be kah-LAHK-ah-lah with the emphasis on the second syllable.
Nobody seems to understand pacific northwest indian names... try explaining my hometown name chehalis to a east coast person lol
@@deplorablewhiteman3628 Or Sequim, Puyallup, Tulalip, etc.
@@NegativeTravis yea i dont wanna even try explaining those names lol
Other ships in Homebush bay were the early RAN vessels Parramata and others. Sffered the same fate became moored tree localities.
The MV Kalakala was very cool looking. Very unique streamlined deco styling. It's a shame it was scrapped. It should have been restored.
How are these the "15 STRANGEST Abandoned Ships" ?
I guess im kinda torn between the coolness of an old ship wreck and that shipwreck should have been removed and salvaged when its life ended.
The edward bolian is the name of host and founder of vin wiki a automotive youtube channel and the ship at 10:03 and a land mark you can spot in the first special of the grand tour they both even the diamond mine
Sorry to pick fault, but the French CV was taken to Hartlepool. I watched it being taken apart. the town name is said as Hart Le Pool. keep up the good work
For what it's worth, TH-cam, Ranch dressings have entirely too much salt in them.
I disagree, but I also really like salt too.
@@nellz72 If you eat THAT much salt, your blood pressure will shoot up. Not the first few times, but it WILL shoot up suddenly and you will have a cardiologist nagging at you to cut back on your salt intake.
I am on a low salt diet. I hated it at first, but now when I try eat something salty, bacon is a good example, it nearly chokes me. You are painting yourself into a host of chronic diseases whenever your diet has too much sugar and salt in it.
@@ManuelGarcia-ww7gj Don't worry, I moderate myself. As much as I would like to douse everything in salt, I don't. I actually eat pretty healthy, but that's because I also really enjoy veggies, fish, chicken, etc. And I like to experiment with other seasonings too. Most of the time my salads have vinegar and oil dressing that I make myself. I do like to indulge in that ranch once in a while. I'm also pretty lucky to have inherited low blood pressure. It runs in my mom's side of the family. I'm still pretty careful though. I do appreciate your caring and recommendations. :-)
The mv kallahkala would have made a great mobile home.
It would've made a great many things if somebody had held onto it for more than two weeks at a time.
Biggest single wide in town!
