- From strange and mysterious cruise ships, to the biggest oil tankers in the world; these are 10 GIANT Abandoned Ships !
HEY YOU ! There are more awesome videos being made every week, like and subscribe to World Unearthed so you don't miss a beat !
5.Temple Hall
Finding information on this shipwreck was harder than I thought ! Built in 1954, the Temple Hall changed many owners during its years of operation.
On a voyage from San Pedro to Thessaloniki, the ship was stuck between a rock and a hard wave so to say. Bad weather, heavy seas, and no luck to be found, the Temple Hall, now known as the Telamon ran aground near the Canary Island, Lanzarote.
It didn’t help that the maintenance record for the ship was abysmal, you can still find it at the exact same spot, some 40 years after it wrecked.
4.Zeila Shipwreck
Zeila was a fishing trawler way past its prime, and its also the smallest ship on this list. Built in 1975, the trawler did its job until the late 2000s. By 2008, it was on its way to Bombay to be used as scrap metal. Unfortunately, the Zeila’s tow line snapped and the ship headed for the shore.
If you follow this channel, you know my fascination with the Skeleton Coast of Namibia. Just another example of why this strange and bizarre place is worth a visit.
3.Mega One Triton
With a name like that, you might expect something a bit bigger than 700 tonnes, but life aint fair kid.
During Hurricane Sandy, Mega One Triton was one of the unlucky vessels that was ran aground due to the weather. Since 2012, it has become a tourist destination for those that are interested in urban exploration. This counts as urban exploration right? After all, it is RIGHT ON THE BEACH ! The local government strongly advises the public to stay away from the wreck since the ship is deteriorating very fast, but I’m not sure anyone is heeding their advice.
There was plans to remove the ship from the coastline by December of last year, has it happened yet? I don’t think so.
2.Agios Dimitrios
This shipwreck was also trick to find, I have some contradicting information the exact name of the ship. I found sources that listed it as MV Cornelia, and others that called it Dimitrios. So, if anyone can shed some light on the subject that would be great !
The ship was built in 1950 and its history is a bit, mysterious. Stories of smuggling cigarettes and ghosts have been circling since it wrecked in 1981.
The cigarette smuggling story is much more believable, sorry ghost hunters. It goes something like this, the Dimitrios was seized at port after contraband cigarettes were found on board. Instead of paying the fines and dealing with authorities, the ship was purposefully released from the port and left to run aground, where all the evidence was set on fire.
What do you think? Plausible?
1.Ocean Dream
I have been WAITING to write about this cruise ship for MONTHS now ! I finally found enough pictures to entertain you with while I haphazardly try to explain its story.
Built in the 70s under the name “Spirit of London” this cruise ship enjoyed a long career in the high seas, providing comfort and entertainment for many people. But all good things must come to an end, and in February 2016, the Ocean Dream met old lady fate. Whats crazy is that the cruise ship was sold for scrap metal in 2009, but before it was destroyed, another cruise company.
Turns out, those guys weren’t cool at all. They left the ship near Laem Chabang in Thailand, the cruiseliner was abandoned for over a year by crew and maintenance, it finally capsized in February of 2016.
I would definitely suggest NOT booking a cruise on the Ocean Dream, even though the website is still offering it ! There is evidence that a company tried to salvage the ship, but I don’t think it's happening any time soon. - บันเทิง
Hope everyone enjoyed the video :D, let me know which one of these abandoned shipwrecks you thought was the coolest !
p.s. Have a great weekend :D
World Unearthed pease greet me!!!
World Unearthed pease say Hello i'm from argentine
You too! What a great video!
MV Rena? MV Wahine? Two from NZ
Greetings and cheers !
Actually, the crew that salvaged the New Carissa were under contract to remove all traces of the ship from the island / water. There is a video on TH-cam of the salvage and its pretty impressive to see how it was done
It's amazing
My coworker and I just did the math on the soybeans. 66,000 tons would equal roughly 2.3 million bushels. The average semi carries, for simplicity in math, 980 bushels. Divide the 2.3 million by 980 and you get right around 2,350 semi loads. The elevator we work at isn't huge, but on an average day during soybean harvest we can see over 250 trucks pass through in one day. So in right around 10 harvest days we'll see those trucks pass through.
So where do you find 66,000 tons of soybeans? One moderately big grain elevator in North Dakota for one place.
I grew up around this stuff, and the volume when we mathed it out kinda blew my mind, too.
Thank you for this comment ! A lot of people took my thoughts way too seriously :)
You're welcome. Yeah, 66,000 tons sounds big, but if you can boil it down to a number of something that you see driving down the highway every day, it puts it into a little easier perspective.
skinnypete1982 Awesome, Man!
Soybeans are exported by ship. They're a global commodity. Oh yeah, tofu still sucks.
John Thomson: Except U.S. soybean exports are now in the tank. In response to T-Rumps tariff war, China, our largest consumer of soybeans, increased soybean tariff 25%. China has also struck deals to purchase soybeans from more reliable sources...other countries. Taxpayers shelled out $12 Billion to bail out devastated soybean farmers this year. Who knows about future years.
You have two different ships named "Ocean Dream". The one launched in 1972 (as Spirit of London) is a Norwegian vessel and is the one capsized off Laem Chabang, Thailand. The other ship was launched in 1982 in Australia and is still in service, chartered to the NGO Peace Boat since 2012.
Mmm.. seems like some retardation going on.
Once sailed as the "MV Sun Princess".... one of the P&O "Love Boats"...
Starred in the 1975 "Columbo" episode titled "Troubled Waters"
The Ocean Dream is is the saddest. I worked for Premier Cruise Lines and she was the Star Ship Majestic at that time. I loved traveling to the Abacos Islands in the Bahamas. She was the smallest of the Premier ships but she was lovely. But oh that rounded hull without stabilizers, when she was going straight it was nice. When she turn just slightly she rocked side to side like a cradle. Sitting in the top lounge the conversation was "Oh look at the stars, now look at the water, oh look at the stars, now look at the water." It rocked that much.
LOVE VIDEOS LIKE THIS
Thanks :D
Yayish Lord Me too
Idk why I am so obsessed with ship wrecks 🙈
It's really quite awesome seeing Coos Bay on a top 10 video, I remember when the Carissa ran aground
whoa they smuggled ghosts, that's pretty cool.
That’s why my shipment of beans didn’t arrive I’ll just order 59k beans next
The ocean dream is having a dream of it's own
Thanks for sharing! Believe it or not, back in 1997-1998, I have worked as a Cruise Staff on the M.V. Flamenco (Festival Cruise lines) which was sold to a Spanish cruise operator then renamed New Flamenco until it was sold again to become the Ocean Dream. Seeing the faith of that ocean liner was heartbreaking. This ship has been my home for 5 months. I've sailed on her from Savona Italy all the way to the Carribean and then back to Italy! I remember doing the bridge visits to our guests onboard. I remember doing our farewell shows in the Starlight Lounge. Dinning at the captain's table in it's main dinning room! Wish I could post some pictures here. Sad to see her last faith...
Thank you for the interesting stories!
Awesome video, can you do one for planes or trains?
Yes
The ship shown at the beginning of the "Ocean Dream" segment is a different ship with the same name that was launched in 1982 as "Tropicale" and apparently is still in operation.
Supply dock !
And this isn't quite true either: the "Ocean Dream" depicted at the beginning used be for some time "Costa Europa" (therefore the cilinder shape of the funnel), originally built for Home Lines ("Tropicale" - which was for some time "Costa Tropicale" - is a different ship). The one the story is about is one of the two sister ships from the early 1970s and was probably opearted for some time by Festival as "Flamenco". Smart looking ship, too bad she's gone.
Narrator, your gullibility is stupendous.
I was on #3, That beach has amazing snorkeling. The ship itself was pretty hazardous, mainly many barrels of oil seeping onto the decks and making them slick as ice.
Canary island, like the bird. Not cannery island, like the tin. Lol.
yea, he has a funny accent, or is it ooksent...thats it, ooksent
No, he understands what wood chips are used for, and he also understands how harvesting works, at least I hope so, what he said in the video is basically he doesn't understand why they would ship wood chips like that, probably because you can get them from chipping any trees, and he doesn't know how they could get that many tonnes of soybeans all at once. As for the concrete ships, not a lot of people would know about them, they weren't highly publicised or anything, they were meant for very temporary use to fill up certain rolls in the fleets then get discarded, I don't think the designers ever intended for any of them to last a few years, let alone the 100+ some of them have, though none were seaworthy for very long, most were repurposed as artificial reefs or as breakwaters, a few were sold to private parties like the one in the video.
There are concrete barges beached in the Severn Estuary (UK) and the famous Mulberry Harbours built with concrete in UK shipyards and floated to the French coast for the D-day landings. They can still be seen at French town of Arromanches-les- Bains.
Concrete 'ships' are still very common in The Netherlands. They are used for houseboats, very maintenance friendly if you compare them with wooden boats or metal ones.

wood pulp carried by the New Carissa is used to make paper
It was wood chips bruh

Wood chips make wood pulp, duh 🙄
Some freighters in WW1 were built from concrete as steel was needed for warships and other needs. These ship used very high amounts of fuel and were not economical to run after the war. Most were sunk in the Chessapeak Bay in the 1920s.
Was exploring Temple Hal cool wreck:)
i literally just watched your glitches in the matrix vid on talltanic and now i've come here to watch this
You do an excellent job with the narration!! I wish 10% of the audio on YT vids were as good as yours. Keep up the great work. Subscribed!!
I LOVE THESE KIND OF VIDEOS!!!!!
Soybeans are actually the second most produced crop in America, first being corn.
I lived in Coos Bay Oregon in the 60"s and Japanese ships came all the time to be filled with wood chips.
These could be ground up and make partial wood products like stereo speakers . These ships would be filled in a few days and a new ship would be there tomorrow. My father (a vet) would walk upon these vessels and we would be quite welcome by the crews!
Just came across your channel. LOVE this video, thanks! I'll have to check out the rest of your work.
i grew up visiting the cement ship as locals called it, i thought it was so cool, if your ever in aptos i recommend visiting it
Abandoned Ships
Thanks for the video! I live in San Jose ,Calif and went to UCSC, which is only a few miles from the S.S. Palo alto (the concrete ship). I grew up going out and playing on that thing when I went to the beach... while probably a little unsafe for kids during storms, nonetheless going out there in bad weather can feel truly creepy and to all you around the world, if you're lucky enough to live close enough to go play around on any of these wrecks in childhood (or go out as adults to chief it up northern Cali style) I highly recommend it.
# 2 was kinda spooky...... liked the vid...
wood chips are used for boilers its a cleaner and sumwhat cheaper then burning coal
Thank you, this was an awesome video. I appreciate all the research you did.
Boilers taps
Wood Chips are used in Japanese cook stoves. They're cheaper than coal. Soybeans are grown in Wisconsin.
Narrator: where do you get that many soy beans!
Me: MISSOURI
M Teasdale *Missouri
Ik
The "selendang ayu"😂
Im dying
The one with the fuel leak, wow!
Great vid! Excellent narrative.
Yay u mentioned the ship from Costinești
fine presentation,
thx for making it possible,
Ahmad Kazemi yep
Woah thats alot of abandoned ships ...
Excellent video
Mega One Triton... sounds like a mecha.
The SS Kyle ran around in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, Canada in 1967, and is still there. She was launched in 1913, and saw use in both world wars, transporting troops and supplies. She also served as an icebreaker. After 54 years of service, she ran aground while trying to avoid icebergs. It's in surprisingly good shape for a ship that's over 100 years old and has been abandoned for over 50 years.
Great video bro!
I'm pretty sure these cave people in the comments don't know what accents are, but aside from that, well done man. Thought this was going to be one of those boring list channels and you proved me wrong. Respect!
you get soybeans from iowa, at least that much everyday . . .
wrong Iowa is number two in the soybean department second to Illinois
Don’t soybeans give men boobs 🤔 or is that something else?
@@ViggyIggy beer actually does that. Soybeans are mainly fed to cattle and pigs
Or used to make Soy Sauce.
Just a slight correction: The photo of the Ocean Dream you used, is of the Pullmantur ship Ocean Dream.. Which was the Tropicale for Carnival Cruise line, Later the Costa Tropicale, Pacific Star and ultimately Ocean Dream for both Pullmantur and Peace Boat. The Ocean Dream that sank was P&O's Spirit Of London, (originally designed as NCL's Seaward, but refused for delivery due to escalating prices at the shipyard). She later transferred to Princess Cruises and became the Sun Princess, the Starship Majestic, Southern Cross, Flamencol, New Flamenco and ultimately Ocean Dream.
"it broke apart, as is customary" lol, When did it become a custom?
"Where the hell do you get 66 thousand tons of soy beans!?"
From soy farms, obvi.
Woooo
TheOcean dream still has those good lifeboats. Although the ones on the sunken side might be a bit rusty.
Very cool video
Very interesting video. Thanks for posting it.
Watching + Learning from NSW Australia.
Thank you World Unearthed for the upload.

Fascinating. I liked it.
The like button tells me lots of people like abandoned ships especially when it's a ship from the victorian era
There is an abandoned ship near south manitou island in lake Michigan. You can see it from the lighthouse.
I was just in Grand Turk, and I can say the Mega One Triton is still there.
The picture used in 8:43 is of a different Ocean Dream which originated as a Carnival Ship named the Tropicale. It's not the same ship that capsized.
I absolutely love your videos! Keep it up
You have a new subscription
Very cool vid.. but I'm from Oregon, and as I remember, the New Carissa broke because the fire to burn off the fuel weakened the hull.... They towed the bow section to sea, and had to torpedo, set off several explosives, and fire armor piercing rounds to finally sink it.... and yes. the stern was dismantled and there's still some of it I believe buried.
What about the Costa Concordia?
The full story of that ship is very interesting
For number 1, you included photos of a different ship, the ship that was in good condition, called the ocean dream is a different ship that also had the same name as the one the capsized.
#3. Can confirm removal hasn't happened yet. Was in Grand Turk 3 weeks ago. Still there :)
Ship still has fuel in it... What a mystery.
That was interesting
Number 6 they talked about the concert ship, that is interesting but the largest concert ship built is the Salina and is aground in Galveston bay and still visible from Seawolf park I grew up seeing this ship every time I went to Galveston and still look forward to seeing it
6) A concrete ship? WTF? Whose idea was that?
not sure why this video has so many dislikes. its top quality.
Probably because he sounds like he has half a mouthful and can't pronounce simple words properly
I think you may want to watch again, look closely, research the facts, then actually come back and claim it’s top notch. The transition(s) - same one used 116 times, is nauseating, the script is poor, narrator needs speech therapy, and someone should spend an hour in the library (if they heard of such a place) and get their facts straight. Click bait bull shit.
What a great video!
From what I know, the Ocean Dream was built in the 70s for Norwegian Caribbean Line as the Seaward. But NCL decided not to pursue the ship so Princess Line stepped in and purchased it from the builder and renamed it the Sun Princess. She had an identical sister ship named Southward that was operated by NCL.
Awesome videos!
Loved the video maybe one day you can do one about the Soviet Cruiser Murmansk.
Hey ! Guess what? I HAVE covered Murmansk before ! th-cam.com/video/KLDmRfRWk3A/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy :D
World Unearthed Sorry for the late reply but Thanks!
Its also no longer there!! Its been recovered and scrapped, well, rather scrapped on site after building a giant dry dock to surround it
@@WorldUnearthed up up
what the heck amazing you got a new subscriber
There is ANOTHER Ocean Dream-built as Tropicale for Carnival. She was used by P&O in Australia, called Pacific Star, and is now sailing for Peace Boat, under the name Ocean Dream.
To me learning about these concrete boats was really interesting. I had no idea these even existed so I left the video and did a search on the topic. Odd things they were and still today hobbyists bund concrete canoes for some competition.
Oh, the concrete boat number 6 in the video, here is what I found out:
The SS Palo Alto, a concrete tanker that was launched May 29, 1919, was purchased and turned into an amusement pier, and is still visible at Seacliff State Beach, near Aptos, California. 36.969704°N 121.913947°W[22] It broke up during a January 2017 storm.
7:55 the image is a mirror of the oryginal, the ship is faceing west.
There's a concrete ship in Cape May, NJ named The Nautilus(sic) it was wrecked not sure of the whole story but it's still there well some of it anyway. It's sad seeing it the way it is now they wanted to preserve it but it never happened and now you can see what's left of it before it's gone.
Excellent surfing at the Skeleton Coast. You can ride a wave for what seems like miles.
I’ve seen the ss Palo Alto a lot, it was actually very strong! I thought i read something about It being made in Germany?
I always miss much of your videos because of the always amusing comment section lol.
Why wasn't the disaster at Honda point on here? 8 military ships ran aground and it was one of the worst shipwrecks on the west coast, its such a bummer that no one ever seems to cover it.
Dmitrios II is in Cyprus, different ship to the one listed in number 2
Number 4 was not as the skeleton coast but close . 14 km South of a small town called Henties bay in Namibia . But keep up the cool work
You jut got a sub buddy, Keep the interesting videos up
Film lines I remember from long ago, with a ship run aground on a beach in Ireland:
Local Irishmen on beach: "What is your cargo?"
Ship crewman up on bow: "Twenty thousand cases of whiskey."
Irishmen: speechless with amazement and delight.
Hs Hs. Isn't this the film "Whiskey Galore"?
It's the Hebridean Island of Eriskay, which is off the west coast of Scotland.
Nice Video
You're channel is awesome!
Anyone else click because the thumbnail looked like a metal alligator??
Sadly, yes.
BS click bate, and i was thinking finally they did it, they built the ship in the shape of a alligator, TH-cam is click bate, click bate is TH-cam
The thumb doesn't look like an alligator, it is the last ship on the list, and it looks exactly like the last ship on the list on its side in the water just like the video shows it.
Skyfire The Goth Haha yeah my bad:)
I thought it was too
👍 Cool bro!! 💐 🎂 🍫 🍧 😘 😘 😘 😘
This video gae me that sinking feeling.
WU - do some research on a vessel called the Canadian Miner - was being towed from the Great Lakes to Europe for scrapping, broke free of her tow and ended up ashore on Scatarie Island, Nova Scotia.
SHIP HAPPENS
haha !
cheers :D
corney
You have seen gulivers travels
Good show keep up the good work
I did an offroad trip around namibia some years ago and went all the way up the skeleton coast park to terrace bay lodge, most amazing trip I ever made, 600km without seeing anyone, was told at the entrance of the park to never leave the track and if I didn't reach the lodge in 2 days they'd send someone looking for me and to never leave the car more than a few meters because of the wildlife.
Many of the shipwrecks and oil rig wrecks are protected ecological reserves with lots of bird sanctuaries.
Also amazing that many of these wrecks are miles from the sea
Lots and I mean lots of enormous whale bones along the the shore line, in fact the entrance to the park has two huge standing bones in arch
Unforgettable experience that I hope to repeat again
Its crazy how some ships that have been there for decades look better than some ships that have been there for a few yeara
Because those old ships were build stronger than required.
3:24 i saw that ship in person :P
Lots of narration experts in the comments. He did a great job by me. I don't see any of you doing better.
