Sorry I did not like the episode as I have been lobbying for years to transform this underground PS into an industrial museum and you came without authority and told all the vandals from were to enter, you surely did not help and actually you are doing this for money to rake more likes and subscribers so that you get paid from TH-cam.
@@johnhili8664 I don’t know where this is, I didn’t catch that but I will day at least someone documented it. An industrial museum is a great idea of how to use that huge space but to be safe a lot of those floors will have to be redone. Maybe then we could see what was upstairs where they got in. Also, they only showed that they accessed it through a restroom window, surely that’s not the only restroom. I wonder why he didn’t see where the next set of stairs lead up to. Afraid of getting unwanted attention? I also agree with you that people shouldn’t just be running around breaking and entering or otherwise trespassing into places closed off by the owners, even when the owner is a government. It is a neat look into the past of municipal power generation. Maybe seeing it on camera more people who know it won’t be so tempted to get a look at it in person or will lobby for it to be opened to tourism like you suggested.
@@308dad8 I do not know if you are Maltese but I can tell you that they entered through the huge ventilation shafts by abseiling!! At the moment we are in the process of setting up a lobby to promote Industrial Heritage here in Malta
I've been there! We had a school visit to the place around 1977. Drove down a long tunnel in a minibus to get inside. It was running at the time and providing power to most of Malta. We were showed around the control room. One guage showed nearly 1000 amps. This was being drawn by a Royal Navy warship that was in Valetta harbour. I remember the batteries. We were told that they came from submarines. The high voltage contactors were submerged in a bath of oil and switched at high speed using a shotgun cartridge! All the turbines in use then were steam driven via oil fired boilers. The big diesel engines had long since retired. However, they were occasionally started up. We got to see that. Pretty scary. The whole floor was thumping. The engines had double acting pistons. We were shown a piston and it was huge. Easily the size of an oil drum. The place was immaculate back then. I remember seeing a machine shop fully loaded with lathes, milling machines etc. I was envious because it was better stuff than what we had at school.
@@Super-lucky-7777 It was definitely a great school trip. I lived in Malta and had no idea this place existed. The amount of decay shown in the video is shocking. I guess when the place was in use the heat kept the damp at bay. I do remember it was very hot in there, particularly by the boilers.
That's awesome! Being able to see all that stuff is really neat, especially seeing the battery contactors using the shotshell to switch, that's one of those things that just seems ridiculous
@@klagger07 The contactors had to switch thousands of volts. The power from the shotgun cartridge blasted the switching mechanism at high speed so the contacts had little time to arc before they meshed together. Shame we didn't get to see this demonstrated. It would have been impressive.
Hi Folks, this underground treasure used to form part of Malta Drydocks, and it even used to supply power for the same yard. I have worked there for a total of 36 years up to 2003, and can assure you that at this location there are tens of tunnels, all dug out in solid rock before and during WWII, many of them used as workshops so that important works could continue even during bombardments, and I can assure you this area of Malta was the heaviest bombed, especially when HMS Illustrious entered here for quick repairs in 1942. One of the biggest underground tunnels was later used as a huge training centre for us apprentices, and once I had read somewhere that when Queen Elizabeth was taken there during a royal visit in 1954, she was absolutely impressed!
There's loads of tunnels under Manoel Island and the fort there. I used to explore these when I was 13. We gained access via a ventilation shaft. There's also 2 huge oil storage tanks under the island too. I imagine it will be impossible to get into these tunnels now as the fort is guarded as it is now being restored.
Really insightful information, thanks ver much, Do you know if the two giant propellers found at the end were from ship repair at the dry dock, or came off the diesel engines used in the generator hall?
As a retired electrical engineer and power plant manager, i found this video top notch! A tour of 1940s power generation and underground to boot! The turbine generators were powered by oil-fired boilers the best i could tell. Normally the diesel generators were used for start-up and standby power. The fact the plant was built underground would have been astronomically expensive per Kw! But given the time, survivability was the chief design consideration. Salute to those guys who worked long hours underground to keep the plant running and maintained not seeing the light of day! The last part of the video covered the spare parts inventory, amazing that some of the parts are still left. To me the most amazing thing that you discovered: the Parsons generator (alternator as stated) cover was made from wood!!! I would have to guess it was to save metal during the war period and or lighter weight for maintenance reasons. The plants i worked in (modern 1970s through early 2000s) the generator casings were made of heavy steel. Shame a lot of the gauges had been smashed by vandals. Thank you and God speed! Please be careful as you know such facilities can be very dangerous in such an aged state. You guys should be on the history channel !!! Oh yes those batteries i wonder if the casings were made of glass? Early telecom companies used back-up batteries and their casings were made of glass.
Thanks a million for checking out :) I believe the batteries were made out of glass yes ! The gauges are not destroyed by vandels but destroyed by time and the elements of nature.
When you said "Queen Power Station", I laughed out loud as I was thinking the exact same thing. Seriously though, you guys hit the jackpot here with this discovery. Every time I think you've taken us on the most unique adventure, you step it up a notch or two and show us something even more amazing. Congratulations Bob - this is EPIC!!!
Thank you for this video. My grandfather worked for Parsons, as a turbine specialist for power generation, after WW2 (and before being hired by the Electricity Trust of South Australia as a turbine engineer). There is a reasonable chance he worked directly on the turbines you showed in this video.
Any ideas about those wooden covers that were shown in the video? Thanks seeing so much brass and wood is really a beautiful indication of quality items built in the past.
I'm so glad you got in. My grandad was a yeoman in the Royal navy stationed under Malta, and my mum was schooled there. We went back to visit above ground years ago. And I've wondered what it was like inside ever since I was a boy. Some of the entrances to the tunnels where in Valletta below a park overlooking the sea.
Wow that's one of the most impressive places I have seen yet! I have never seen such a structure before, I wonder how much time you spent searching for the way in and I can only imagine how happy you were, when you found the small hole in the wall that leads to the treasure! ;) Great Video and Storytelling👌🏻
What an amazing location! There's some serious tunneling gone on there, which is seemingly endless. I work I an old power station so a lot of what you've filmed is familiar to me. It's interesting that the Maltese authorities haven't bothered to decommission it, there's a lot of very valuable scrap in there. I can only assume that the vast quantities of asbestos that will be present are the reason why it's been sealed up and abandoned. Really interesting video, many thanks!
Incredible video Bob :) That said, as a Brit, it’s sad to see this reminder of the quality of British engineering and manufacturing from this era, as we’re no longer a manufacturing nation, sadly.
we still manufacture stuff like this. The problem is that we do technical but relatively low volume stuff really well but have little to no capacity to do mass produced high volume stuff at a cost efficient price owing to the size of facility we're able to produce (owing to available space to build them and the cost in tax/rates the larger a building is), the cost of labour, and the relative costs of raw ingredients used in production of mass produced high volume items.
@@gunnargundersen3787 yes but how much is at the mercy of the foreign owners. Just look at the lack of available share investments. eg Cadburys US. Rowntree Mac Swiss. Thornton's Luxembourg. Kind of leaves a sour taste! Great companies sold for greed in many cases
C. A. Parsons and Company was a British engineering firm which was once one of the largest employers on Tyneside. The company became Reyrolle Parsons in 1968, merged with Clarke Chapman to form Northern Engineering Industries in 1977, and became part of Rolls-Royce in 1989. Today the company is part of Siemens Energy.
I was wondering how they made there money to go to all these fantastic wonderful old abandoned sights, that the show us all. Yes writing a book explain a lot about the expense they must build up doing all there hard work. Thank you for filling in that explanation.
@STB, You will get an e-mail for the next book. Unfortunately it has to go through crowdfunding since the times are too unsure and Book came out JUST before covid. Got stuck with quite some copies. And @RP. I work my *ss off to pay for these trips. TH-cam and the published books don't cover these costs. Hopefully one day :)
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath You my Friend are a super STAR to me. What you do. Just that you spend the money first, to do these wonderful video. I Love seeing those places. Your Narrative is assume.

Now that's an amazing underground urbex. Interesting to see some of the control racks completely decayed, while others look almost serviceable. Can't imagine what that place must have been like when it was still operational.
Thanks again for checking out Andrea ! I was really persistent to get into this one. On my recent trip to Albania I failed again... but won't give up on that adventure either :D
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath never give up! Most of the time it worth the effort. And we are always waiting for your next crazy adverture😎 Really inspiring for other urban explorers😉
The decorative iron arabesque on top of the main electric switchboard is fantastic. Imagine the engineers drawing those boards, finishing the design with a pure decorative element. Unimaginable nowadays.
This is monumental, I Have never seen anything like it - a premium quality explore! I sure hope this gets all the views it deserves. With that crusty decay I was thinking this looks in some places like a sunken ship that was brought back to the surface and then, towards the end, you found friggin ship propellers on the ground! 😮 And also my compliments for the well lit beauty shots and cinematics. One may think a big light panel to bath everything in brightness would be best for a place like this, but thats not the case here. Good flashlights and handing the camera over to the trailing partner filming from behind gives the whole scene an epic ambiance! Bob and friends certainly give us unique jewels to marvel at - the channel's name is no exaggeration! 💪
Wow. Excellent content video informative. I'm a ten year military veteran and electrical engineering 62 years old, I've never seen anything like this! Massive industrial complex. Truly impressed!
This is one of my favorite locations you guys have visited. What an absolute gem-10 find! Bob is there a part 2 or more footage from this location? I was on the edge of my seat the last few minutes as you explored alone. Rest easy knowing all the hard work paid off in the end with this one :)
Absolutely beautiful!!!!! Thank you so very much for all the effort you put into all of your amazing videos. I usually watch your videos on my smart TV, so unfortunately it doesn't allow me to comment on your work, so I wanted you to know how much I appreciate all of the videos you work so hard to provide. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks a lot! I wish I had my newer light setup here. I did a similar place this week in China, but it was a military train workshop. Hope to upload this episode in the upcoming months. Thanks for taking the time to comment🤩😎
the reason those end bells are wood, or a fiber material. speaking from experience im a journeyman turbine millwright for GE. usually if theyre hydrogen cooled theyll be big metal two piece end bells following inner gas shields, amongst other supporting pieces such as hydrogen seals and good sealant on the split lines, or (pumpable) end bells with "dow corning". those being light means the generator is air cooled. love seeing stuff like this!
Wow that place must be huge.. How did you find your way out? I wish it had been preserved a little better.. Thx for taking us along on another great adventure...Take care my friends and be safe...
Incredible!!I know you guys have backup torches but it’s still very nerve racking to watch the prospect of light failure doesn’t bare thinking about.Thanks for sharing a great explore.👏👏👏
Yes, light redundancy. But also proper filtration masks, lots of asbestos and other particulate. I never go on an explore without first aid kit, satellite tracking, GPS, although that would be of limited use that far underground
Good to hear! If you liked this episode. I recently uploaded an adventure to a former secret military underground train workshop! (And a mission to an aircraft carrier!) cheers Bob
What a ridiculously awesome find, Bob!!! hope there’s a Part II. Malta is phenomenal, on my bucket list for sure. some of those corridors with the echos and booms reminds me of the PC horror game series STALKER. probably one of my favorite videos on your channel. Thanks!!
Thanks for checking out, one of my favorites also. Next is a big U-boat bunker in Albania and some other military relics. The underground power station would be nice to go back too, but my list of places is really long😔
For underground quarries and such, it's really hard to navigate and you easily get lost because everything looks the same, but most bunkers and other facilities are not too hard to find your way back :)
That's crazy. Who would of ever known? Thank you for sharing. How do you guys not get lost? What an amazing operation, just think of all the people that ran that place. Do you know how many people worked and or died down there? If only the walls could talk! Makes me think about the man that thought up All these things and what and how they all tied in to make it work. And the money it took??? WOW... I tried to see the time on the clock, but couldn't make it out. Phenomenal, to say the least.
Thanks for letting me tag along (in the camera). I'm severely disabled and would never be able to go in person. As always, all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👩🍳
I wrote you guys two years ago about losing my house in a tragic fire during the Oregon fires and I remember watching your guys's videos to help me escape because I love what you do and life is been pretty complicated getting back where I was and shortly after the fires the love of my life and I split because it was just too much and was very hard and today about 5 minutes ago she left to go to work and I'm leaving to drive 5 1/2 hours home she realized then I realized that we didn't want to live without each other and we thought about each other everyday I just spent a wonderful weekend with her and I feel fantastic so here I am found your video watching it feeling like a million dollars and I'm sure this is irrelevant but keep making your videos love your content love what you guys do and just know that you guys are part of people's lives whether it be just your content your personalities or somewhere somebody goes to feel happy and safe please be safe out there keep doing what you're doing this world's getting nuts and I love watching you guys uncover history
Thank you guys for showing that to us if you wouldn't have showed that to us it would have been lost forever nobody would have seen it thanks again keep it up that's all history all of history history is why we're here today thanks again

Yes.. also one of my favorites! Such an amazing place! It was worth to give it another try🤩
Incredible!!I know you guys have backup torches but it’s still very nerve racking to watch the prospect of light failure doesn’t bare thinking about.Thanks for sharing a great explore.👏👏👏
Yes, light redundancy. But also proper filtration masks, lots of asbestos and other particulate. I never go on an explore without first aid kit, satellite tracking, GPS, although that would be of limited use that far underground
I love how you manage to go to places that not even the scalpers dare to go. Amazing
Incredible effort and very nice footage. Needs a second visit 😎😉
Epic find there! Keep bringing them in, and deep explores.
Amazing find. Nice visit. They should make it a museum and preserve these machines.
A part 2 is definitely one video to do, the place is massive. And yes there are probably more places indicated by the map on the wall to find.
Brilliant explore,nice to catch up with you guys
Incredible video! When you guys got past the restroom into another area at first it looked exactly what you see in the game of Fallout! Great find!!
Really enjoyed the adventure.
Good to hear! If you liked this episode. I recently uploaded an adventure to a former secret military underground train workshop! (And a mission to an aircraft carrier!) cheers Bob
How did you manged to get inside there it was crazy. I am Maltese and have always heard of this place. Great video edit.
I'm amazed that you guys were able to remember how to find your way back out of that place
Hallo Bob!
Glad to see you back in business!
What a ridiculously awesome find, Bob!!! hope there’s a Part II. Malta is phenomenal, on my bucket list for sure. some of those corridors with the echos and booms reminds me of the PC horror game series STALKER. probably one of my favorite videos on your channel. Thanks!!
Thanks for checking out, one of my favorites also. Next is a big U-boat bunker in Albania and some other military relics. The underground power station would be nice to go back too, but my list of places is really long😔
Thanks for directing me here Bob i never have seen this part of Malta i really love it bro ❤️
Glad you liked it! Took a lot of effort to locate and get inside this truly unique place in the world
Amazing 🤩👌 more videos 🔥 watching from Philippines 🇵🇭

That place is HUGE!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! No wonder you were agonizing over not being able to get in time after time.

O, That is cool to hear, Didn't even know it was on Amazon Prime !

One of the cooler sites you guys have been to in a while although I don’t think you will ever top the Buran
When exploring these large underground places; have you ever gotten lost and worry you can not find your way back out?
For underground quarries and such, it's really hard to navigate and you easily get lost because everything looks the same, but most bunkers and other facilities are not too hard to find your way back :)
Amazing find. So many wonderful artefacts.
In 5:48 there is a Wurth spray can, on the right, that is a product between 2015-2020. So somebody was there recently.
That's crazy. Who would of ever known? Thank you for sharing. How do you guys not get lost? What an amazing operation, just think of all the people that ran that place. Do you know how many people worked and or died down there? If only the walls could talk! Makes me think about the man that thought up All these things and what and how they all tied in to make it work. And the money it took??? WOW... I tried to see the time on the clock, but couldn't make it out. Phenomenal, to say the least.
Beautiful natural decay, thank you for sharing.
This is awesome and deeply immersive experience to view of a really isolated and forgotten place below the surface. What an adventure
It was a unforgettable explore! Thanks for checking out
Cool ass place and thanks for the video 😊
Absolutely epic explore... thanks for sharing
@ 36:18, - :25, boat propellers?? What would they be doing down in there?? What in the world were they preparing for with all of this?
British Engineering at its best 😘. Another quality video Bob 🤙
Amazing location! It was so much bigger than I expected. How long were you guys down there?
35:17 Playing cards are highly collectible. Even individual cards are sought after for some hard to get types.
Good jobs 👍👍
I don't know how you found your way out after all those twists and turns. But I'm glad you did!
Metal conducts electricity alot better than wood, hence the wood covers on the generator.
My Dad used to work for Parsons, he probably made some of the equipment for there!!! Cool find.
Oo great! Amazing machinery for sure😇
A great find and a fantastic discovery, great stuff.
Thanks for letting me tag along (in the camera). I'm severely disabled and would never be able to go in person. As always, all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👩🍳
I wrote you guys two years ago about losing my house in a tragic fire during the Oregon fires and I remember watching your guys's videos to help me escape because I love what you do and life is been pretty complicated getting back where I was and shortly after the fires the love of my life and I split because it was just too much and was very hard and today about 5 minutes ago she left to go to work and I'm leaving to drive 5 1/2 hours home she realized then I realized that we didn't want to live without each other and we thought about each other everyday I just spent a wonderful weekend with her and I feel fantastic so here I am found your video watching it feeling like a million dollars and I'm sure this is irrelevant but keep making your videos love your content love what you guys do and just know that you guys are part of people's lives whether it be just your content your personalities or somewhere somebody goes to feel happy and safe please be safe out there keep doing what you're doing this world's getting nuts and I love watching you guys uncover history
good for you man
Glad it turned out OK and you enjoy the videos mate :) !
Thanks for sharing this location😊
Your English is better than mine. WOW. Lots to see on this explore. Thank you.
Thanks for checking out! Also seen some other episodes?
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Yes I have seen some other episodes 👍
The dc generator on the end was for the generator rotor/armature excitation.
This video was most amazing thank you. Hello I'm Bob from Stuttgart Arkansas
