So awesome!! I love these WWII era island facilities dotted all over the bay. I should have a video about Rose Island out next Friday too with some footage I shot there over the summer!
This is great, as always with your content. I pass by these all the time and everyone is always saying incorrect information. Now you need to cover Chepiwanoxet Point in Warwick. at one point it was a beach resort, then an old Water aircraft manufacturer, etc.
I’ve been intrigued by this island for a very long time! Building homes on Jamestown, it was often in the scenic view of many of the homes. Always wanted to take a boat out to explore, thankfully you did it for us. As always, it was a great video that didn’t disappoint.
Great video Jason! Loved watching this since I’ve been on the island in the past few years for clean up. I was never sure of the full history of the island. Great info 👍🏻
Very exciting video! This location has been on mine and many other local explorers maps for well over a decade. I think you are the first person I've seen explore it, or at least put all the information in a comprehensive video. After the aerial maps were updated recently and seeing the buildings demolished, it really kicked the "value" of risking the explore. I am happy to see you went and I will need to share this video around if they don't see it on their own time.
Holly Torpedo Strike Batman that's one of the best YT Videos of Gould Island Torpedo Station ever made Mr Jason you outdid yourself again every video you put out is 100% better than the last video BTW all your videos are A plus made .. What blew my mind was testing 100 Torpedoes a day that's crazy numbers back and over 80 years .. I am just overwhelmed at how much history Gould Island has to offer .. Mr Jason and Family have a Grand Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year looking forward to 2025 with new Mr Jason's YT videos a Zillion Thumbs up From Tiverton RI
What an amazing video! Your history lesson was so awesomely comprehensive! Growing up, seeing that island every day, now knowing the real history to share is really so so cool
i have not set foot there since the late 90s. the big brick building on the northern half was still there at that time. i remember an old torpedo launcher hanging half in the water as well. we tied the boat right up to the torpedo testing building and went ashore but we were all very nervous about getting caught lol! good times.
Another spectacular Jadon Allard production! Thoroughly researched and documented with spectacular photos this video is mind blowing…..who knew??!! Many thanks Jason..
Fantastic work Jason! Question for you; do you think youll ever do a video on the history of Scituate Reservoir? Just a thought! Thank you again for the history lesson and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
That would be an awesome video! I had the opportunity to fly around the reservoir this summer in a Blackhawk helicopter and I always knew it was big but it really put it into perspective.
Thanks for this. I've driven over the bridge my whole life and have always wondered what its use was. Sad to hear the firing station was only destroyed just last year. Time to egg on Newport to let us respectfully visit this historic spot
Years ago, I worked with a man who was stationed there throughout WW2."Chasing torpedoes" and recovering them was his job. Year after year till VJ Day.
Don't give the US Government too many props. Especially in RI, They wholesale demolish their history and deny access to its citizens (like seen in this video) in my opinion its a severe problem in our society that needs a change.
Great video and history Jason. I flew there back in the summer of 2020 but was pushing my battery to the limit to get back to the Newport Bridge area where I launched. th-cam.com/video/D3t--3CQU3I/w-d-xo.html
What are you talking bout just stop with bullshit ive camped stayed there many times .nobody has given a shit about that dump in decades .and rhode Island is the armpit of new england I lived in providence what a total shithole it's worse than Boston maine is best state period and tenn and ky wv is way better
The way I just jumped on this video!! Thank you Jason! You do amazing work for us Rhode Islanders to see!!

Always Award Winning Cinematography from Rhode Island's Foremost Videographer! Great Job Jason! ~ Tony - Providence RI

Loved your stuff Jason . Excellent producing too. I'm a fan. Keep up the good work guys. Love from NK
I used to live in Jamestown and I often wondered about this island but kept forgetting to look it up. Awesome video.
Thank you Jason for the history lesson. I didn't know anything obout this island.
Excellent video, thanks!
Awesome 😎 video! Keep up the good work
Thanks for this. I've driven over the bridge my whole life and have always wondered what its use was. Sad to hear the firing station was only destroyed just last year. Time to egg on Newport to let us respectfully visit this historic spot
Awesome doc!
Wicked awesome video
Very interesting thanks for sharing
Nicely done
THANK YOU.HAPPY HOLIDAYS..
Interesting! & very cool!
Awesome video man. I'm pretty sure the real seagull sanctuary is Galilee where all the fishing boats are 😂
Years ago, I worked with a man who was stationed there throughout WW2."Chasing torpedoes" and recovering them was his job. Year after year till VJ Day.
Perhaps you could do something about the WW ll PT Boat training facility on the Bay at Melville RI in the future...
And Jason, it's a grinder in RI LOL 😆
100% 😂 they're not serving torpedoes at J's deli or Olly's pizza
@jthetunes1 Nope LMAO!
I would LOVE to see what his ability could create for a promo video!
Let's be honest, that was 100% you on the island lol
seeing how old this is with no tags on it is truly beautiful.. shoutout to the US government for once.
Don't give the US Government too many props. Especially in RI, They wholesale demolish their history and deny access to its citizens (like seen in this video) in my opinion its a severe problem in our society that needs a change.
Why did they tear everything down?
They should have preserved the testing building. It was a landmark of historical significance.
I have the nameplate from the water tower. (Sorry, no. My nameplate came from Rose Island's water tower)
Great video and history Jason. I flew there back in the summer of 2020 but was pushing my battery to the limit to get back to the Newport Bridge area where I launched.
