    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
