This channel is wildly underrated, you deserve millions of subs. Driven and boated by this so many times never to truly appreciate it's history. Great story telling and filming. Thank you!
Having grown up in Fall River, MA, I have been very interested in the local history here. I just learned from this video about the remains of the steamer Mount Hope still in existence. Almost every book written about the Fall River Line mentions the Mount Hope, and how much it was loved by the locals. Thank you for teaching me something new. 😊
As a life long Rhode Islander I always look forward to your videos.Love your blend of history mixed with a bit of humor. Keep up the great work Jason 👍
I have lived in rhode island for 57 years Jason and his teams vids are absolutely amazing they are beyond thorough his research is the best I have ever seen Jason if you read this message me i have some interesting places I think you might enjoy exploring
I just dont understand how your channel only has 29k subs. i live in mass and love your channel man. trust me when i say you will blow up soon enough. i can see the amount of work and time you put into these videos. thank you for sharing them with us.
I walk this path on India Point Park every day with my dog. Born and raised on Jamestown. Thanks for this piece of Info that I should have already known!
This channel is awesome man! This could be on Discovery channel or National Geographic or something. Top notch I appreciate you and all your hard work man Truely amazing You deserve a slot on network television.
Nice, been waiting for another video, so happy to see this one!! I have always wondered what those old structures were. I had always assumed that they were docks, but wondered why some were in the middle of the water and not attached to anything. I had no idea that they were mainly shipwrecks! I can't wait to see what you do next!!
Wow Jason, you never disappoint…..this video is fantastic! The extensive research and presentation preparation makes this one real special. It has been a bit, but the wait was well worth it. Big time thanks Jason!
The same thing for me had no idea those were shipwrecks. been by that area a zillion times I thought it was old rotting piers and never knew RI had a ship graveyard
Fascinating history! I’ve actually come across those ruins while walking in that park before, but I always assumed they were just old docks or piers… crazy to think that they were shipwrecks, and one of many! Dope video!
OMG Mr Jason i had no idea that area was a graveyard for shipwrecks I've been by that area a zillion times never knew there was sunken ships there i thought they were old rotten piers WOW that is mind blowing .. Do a part 2 when there is a Moon low Tide .. Again Mr Jason you are a national Treasure of Good Old Rhode Island you are a breath of fresh air for this State .. If you are looking for fresh ideas do a video of the Nike Missiles that were in Bristol RI .. I am giving you a Hundred Trillion Thumbs up from Tiverton Take care Mr Jason you are the best of the best
Great video Jason. Have you ever heard of a steamship named The Larchmont that sank off the coast of Block Island in February of 1907? Dan Harrington a Providence Journal staff writer gives talks on it. Saw his presentation this past Tuesday at the Johnston library. Fascinating story!
Great video! Loved it and subbed! One small insignificant point: these aren’t shipwrecks. They didn’t run aground and wreck themselves on a foggy night when the captain & mate were both drunk. In maritime parlance they’re called derelicts because they were abandoned to rot.
Enjoyed this video very much Jason...I've driven by there many times with no clue that these wrecks were there. Not being a native to the area, there would be no way to know without being told...thanks for telling me! 🙂
Great job, I run the marina there in Providence. We have a tour boat company or 2 there that bring tours by there. Nice dig at the 195 debacle too haha. Theirs a couple sunk boats near there too.
During WWll my grandfather was the vessels navigator, steaming some 18 time circumnavigation around the world. The Atlantic by summer and Pacific by winter.
There is, indeed, something extra creepy about shipwrecks. You should document the barge on Green island next. ( before it - and the island disappear).
in bellingham mass, off 126 going to mendon there is a factory deep in the woods hidden on box pond...please do a piece on that place, entrance is on same side as a old bar called petes blue bird...right after bar you see hidden road.
I live near the big gas tank by the freeway in Dorchester. All through the harbor and into the Neponset river is full of rotting piles sticking up through the water. I don't think anybody around here now remembers what it used to be. Not too far from Providence. Probably no shipwrecks though.
I’m glad I came across your channel; this was a really cool video! If you’re okay with feedback, I did wanna mention - the additional audio in the background with bird sounds(?) was really distracting for me & I had to turn on subs to follow along with the story… I’m AuDHD tho, so this might be another ~me~ thing. Either way, new subscriber earned!
Hey! Fellow Rhode Islander here. You do such a great job with this. A lot of people comment how wildly underrated this channel is, and I agree. I’ve been to most, if not all, of the places you’ve covered, and it’s awesome. Taking my daughter for picnics at India Point Park and talking to her about the shipwrecks is a great memory. Keep up the good work.
I covered that wreck in one of the videos on my channel - it was sunk during the last naval battle of WWII, The Battle of Point Judith. Incredible how much history is around here.
I live in Fall River, grew up in Assonet, and either have been to some of these sites, or plan to go to them because of your channel. Thanks for opening up history on all the old places that are currently aging away to dust.
if anyone is interested the 2/2018 photo of the area on google earth shows the ships well. should have made your personal ship wreck the ss195 westbound LMFAO
AN HONEST REVIEW: You know, at first I really liked your videos, and cheered on your channel. At this point I'm calling you out on your bullshit clickbait that's been popping up the past year or so. I continually think you've found some amazing overlooked abandoned structure in Rhode Island, only for it to be something the local public, let alone explorers, already knows about. This time I had the feeling what it was since there's no riverboats like in your thumbnail IN RI. Also for a lack of watching this one all the way through, and a more modern and compelling shipwreck in the same area: There was a Russian Nuclear Submarine museum that used to be docked just outside the hurricane barrier. It sunk in 30 - 60ft of water. during a tropical storm that hit us in mid 2000's. So there was a sunken Russian nuclear sub for a time right outside the Hurricane Barrier in Providence. It was later scrapped and for several years you could still see half of its hull and a scrapyard south of the strip club district on google maps. There are plenty of amazing things to still discover in RI, New England, and the World. I advise you to stop doing what's temporarily sensational on the internet and to get out there and do the fucking work as an Explorer.
Hey - just keep in mind that not everything in my thumbnails should be a literal sign of what's featured in my videos - I treat them as movie posters to engage people and get them interested in the history. They are followed by thorough research in my videos that take me months to prepare and present. If people already know about the topic, great, maybe they can learn more or teach me something new. The steamboat in this thumbnail is a recreation that I made of the Mount Hope Steamship, which does exist at the bottom of Green Jacket Shoal. Its history is covered in this video. My thumbnail is a representation of what it would look like if it hadn't sunk, and was still floating in the river. I'm doing what I find interesting and fun - which is documenting the little-known or underappreciated history around us, collaborating with artists and historians, and showcasing what makes Rhode Island special. That takes a lot of work. Thanks for your honest review, though.
@@JasonAllard You have taken my critical comment with grace. What I initially thought your channel prioritized and what you actually value in output are different and that's okay, it's a small deviation in two greatly overlapping topics. You're doing what makes you happy and that's a good thing for the world. I have reached out a few times via email in the past, I am sad that our first actual exchanged words are off a critical comment of mine, especially knowing that you have featured me in a video in the past. My gripes are more targeted at the broader spectrum of being disappointed in modern societal norms and values rather than an attack on your individual character. This is not something that can be fixed by me leaving comments on a TH-cam video. I will always support those who explore and keep truth in the tales they relay to the public.
You should not be calling boats and ships her. It is an in inantimate object. It’s not a human being. It cannot talk back so I don’t know why you’re calling her, but you should call it in it or the boat.

Hope you do one on lincoln park in Westport ma. Excellent channel
Come on TH-cam algorithm… This channel deserves a lot more respect then you’re giving it!
This channel is wildly underrated, you deserve millions of subs. Driven and boated by this so many times never to truly appreciate it's history. Great story telling and filming. Thank you!
If he followed people back on Instagram, he would have a lot more followers and subscribers
What's the population of Rhode Island?
For real, I suggest his TH-cam any chance I get!
@@maaags_like 1.2 million
@debralambert2290, I can't imagine how hard life has been on you if you get your feelings hurt that easily.
As a Rhode Islander you page is top tier content.
Same!
Wicked awesome!
Nice job Jason, love the work you do here in New England!
"Thank you very much" for creating this informative piece of R.I. Maritime History. Great job as always !
My wife and I always get excited every time we get a notice of a new film from you. Thank you. Can't wait for the next one.

Well done, totally enjoyed this!
Love your content, such great insight into Rhode Island's rich history. ⚓
Very excellent presentation….great work🤗
I'd seen these wrecks since childhood and always wondered what page they occupied in our history books. Very informative as always.
Wow Jason, you never disappoint…..this video is fantastic! The extensive research and presentation preparation makes this one real special. It has been a bit, but the wait was well worth it. Big time thanks Jason!
Wow this is amazing I didn't know this thanks so much for sharing
I just learned something new! Great job, as always!
Thank you
I’m from Providence and never knew this.
This is incredible.
👏 👏 another super interesting video. Great work!
I got married at India Point Park. I had no idea those were shipwrecks!
The same thing for me had no idea those were shipwrecks. been by that area a zillion times I thought it was old rotting piers and never knew RI had a ship graveyard
Well edited and great video!
Yay ! do more ships you make it interesting 👍
Have you ever visited prudence Island? That place has some very interesting history and some cool abandoned sites from above!
Amazing! I plan on exploring that area in my little boat this summer. I’ll look out so I don’t become another shipwreck.
Awesome content, exciting and full of great facts and glimpses of the past. Thanks for creating this and sharing!
Watching from west Warwick..
Me too!
Fascinating history! I’ve actually come across those ruins while walking in that park before, but I always assumed they were just old docks or piers… crazy to think that they were shipwrecks, and one of many! Dope video!
Great and informative video, thanks! New England is such an interesting area.
I love looking at this on the bike path in ep. Love your videos jason! 😊

Very cool history lesson. Thanks!
Always look forward to your uploads, my friend 👍

Great video!
Enjoyed this video very much Jason...I've driven by there many times with no clue that these wrecks were there. Not being a native to the area, there would be no way to know without being told...thanks for telling me! 🙂
Keep em coming.
Great work Jason. I will be looking forward to your next one.
Recently there was almost a bridge down there with those ships too.
THANK YOU..
I would love a video on best places to urban explore in RI
Driving on 195 everyday to go to Fall River to work I always wondered what that wood stuff was sticking out
Now because of you I know
I love your videos so much man. Keep it up!!
Great job, I run the marina there in Providence. We have a tour boat company or 2 there that bring tours by there. Nice dig at the 195 debacle too haha. Theirs a couple sunk boats near there too.
Watching from providence Rhode Island
Every time driving by I always thought that was wood that has been dumped into the bay!
Awesome video man!
I never knew! Native Newporter here
I never knew about this, My girlfriend and I went to a Primus concert next to those shipwrecks in 2018 😎
During WWll my grandfather was the vessels navigator, steaming some 18 time circumnavigation around the world. The Atlantic by summer and Pacific by winter.
The Westpoint formally the SSAmerica, was our nations largest troop ship,
There is, indeed, something extra creepy about shipwrecks. You should document the barge on Green island next. ( before it - and the island disappear).
in bellingham mass, off 126 going to mendon there is a factory deep in the woods hidden on box pond...please do a piece on that place, entrance is on same side as a old bar called petes blue bird...right after bar you see hidden road.
I live near the big gas tank by the freeway in Dorchester. All through the harbor and into the Neponset river is full of rotting piles sticking up through the water. I don't think anybody around here now remembers what it used to be. Not too far from Providence. Probably no shipwrecks though.
If someone who lives in that area I often wondered if fishing is good along the shore in that region? Do you know of any hot spots?
New subscriber your videos are great and very much underrated.
Can you please do one with Rhode island Lost Lighthouses.
I’m glad I came across your channel; this was a really cool video!
If you’re okay with feedback, I did wanna mention - the additional audio in the background with bird sounds(?) was really distracting for me & I had to turn on subs to follow along with the story… I’m AuDHD tho, so this might be another ~me~ thing. Either way, new subscriber earned!
You should make a video on whale Rock used to be an Old Lighthouse that got destroyed in a hurricane you can see it from beavertail
I have a pretty interesting abandoned mall in Massachusetts that you might be interested in! There's really no information on it.
Out of curiosity, can I just put my kayak in the water and explore these wrecks from above?
Yes!

Can you do a video about the bridge that’s stuck up and caught fire a year or two ago? That’d be cool
I created a video all about it a couple years ago - it’s on my channel 👍🏼
@@JasonAllard awesome I’ll check it out!!
German UBoat 853 is a good shipwreck in RI as well. It still has the remains of some Nazi soldiers in it. It's deep but diveable.
I covered that wreck in one of the videos on my channel - it was sunk during the last naval battle of WWII, The Battle of Point Judith. Incredible how much history is around here.

I found a live horseshoe crab the size of a basketball at this location
Jason, what's the best way to email you with a RI abandoned recommendation?
You can email me at uncomsensemedia@gmail.com
Sorry but I'm getting an email failure that reads this address does not exist. Is a letter cap sensitive?@@JasonAllard
It was nice to see the 195 bridge open and working back when you recorded this. Great video as always.
Imagine if they could dry up the area. RI would tie them into section 8 housing
The video displays some great editing but has limited information. This could have been a 5 minute video.
