Who gives a fuck these boats are bought with tax payers money anyway so technically belong to the public good work guys keep it up, the system will always have some way of fucking u just be free do as u are 🙌🙏
Several French TH-camrs already did videos about this ship and in result were in trouble with French justice and forced to remove the video. Just so you know what to expect
Imagine those flashlights stop working suddenly and you don't know where you came from in that dark maze. Interesting video, guys! Please prep some gloves for yourself.
The haunting emptiness of this vast and complex ship flooded me with feelings of nostalgia, wastefulness and wonder. I couldn’t look away. Goosebumps all over my body every time they entered the ship’s hospital, and completely off the charts when the operating table came to life 😬
I used to work on Oil Rigs back in the 80's. The biggest loss of life (excluding explosions like Piper A) was Hydrogen Sulphide, H2S from stagnant sea water. In low concentrations it smells like rotton eggs, in higher concentrations you cannot smell it and it will kill you. We Always used H2S and O2 detectors before going into confined spaces.
Just got your 1st book for my Birthday and was thrilled - love your exploration videos but the still shots are something else, so much detail to explore in each one. Looking forward to the places you get to explore when this crazy world stops being quite so crazy.
Thanks for subscribing, you just saw 1 of the worst episodes ever, uploaded during covid, when I could not travel. This is really old footage never intended to be uploaded. I returned to other ships at the same spot (episode will be online soon) And this is a better episode about another cool ship: th-cam.com/video/TsZqdXJsRk8/w-d-xo.html Too be honest I have to work 18h a day and do other things as well to finance this life style :)
Deck hatches are the most overlooked entrances and also the easiest to get into. When you see the diagrams of the ship those are important as they can tell you where you are and where you need to go to get to other places. Each deck (level) has its own plan so it is easy to find your way around. If you know the compartment numbering system it is even easier to get to where you want to go. Also above the entry to each space (room) there is a corresponding number to the chart or diagram so you can find out where you are at any time. It will also let you know where the closest escape routs are and the various hatches to different levels. I hope that this will help you in further endeavors.
Do you bring breathing gear in case you enter a dead space? Also, there's some pretty toxic stuff on these ships sometimes. Black mold, asbestos. nevermind ventilation. eesh might be a good idea to bring a hard hat with you too.
A brilliant idea if you had the money you can get a a air simpler I would be more scared of getting lost or trap somewhere we have nothing to explore like this

Hey guys awesome exploration. Be careful, some french youtubers made a video about these ships and the video was blocked by the french government. Also, I've read that the ships are waiting to be dissembled, the metal will be re-used in futur projects. Cheers
Really interesting exploration, and the animation really elevates this one. You guys are actually creating something and preserving some part of history (presumably, all declassified history, don't want those pesky MIB turning up on your doorsteps). Loved the short stop motion video. You are still crazy for climbing that chain though :D
Very interesting 🤔 Now any confined environment without air circulation can accumulate gases. At a minimum these guys should have a multi gas to check for flammable or toxic gases beyond what is allowed.
Yea when they said any hole can be a entrance i am thinking I know nothing happened but dead zones. There was a ship in the Atlantic (cannot remember name) but there was a storm so they went in to secure the chain (banging around). I think 3 people died going in due to them not having any air in there.

Haha grappig om te zien. Ik werk zelf bij de marine en veel komt bekend voor zoals die strijk ijzers. Het is geen keuken maar een kombuis. Waarschijnlijk zit het manschappenverblijf (matrozen) daar dus naast. De plek waar je dat overzicht van het schip zag is een sectiepost. Bij averij of gevechtswacht zullen vanaf de sectieposten alle calamiteiten worden aangevallen. Achterop het schip waar die grote "spoel" zit hadden ze waarschijnlijk een variabele diepte sonar die ze achter het schip aan slepen. In de torpedo overlaadruimte miste ik de lanceer buizen, maar die hebben ze waarschijnlijk op nieuwe schepen gezet. De "radarkamer" is de commando centrale. Dat is aan boord mijn werkplek aan boord 😁👍👍
Wow always great content I want to thank you guys for inspiring me to try urbex. Although in my town there’s no abandoned war ships we do have some interesting things.
Respect dat jullie zo'n groot risico nemen, om eerst dat hele tering ent omhoog te klimmer, via het anker en dan heb je natuurlijk ook de patrouille die jullie waarschijnlijk een paar dagen in de cel gooit als ze hier achter komen en dat allemaal voor een youtube video! Respect for you guys! The amount of work to climb up ontop of the ship and evading the patrolling guards, all for a youtube vid!
Be careful, a french youtuber Mamytwink uploaded an urbex exploration on these exact same ships. His video has been deleted and he had serious problems with the french Navy.
SLIM SHADY Maybe because he was French, so the French navy could get to him easily. If you’re not French then it would be harder for them to get to you.

I was thinking the same, if you look at the pipes, where they are wrapped, you easily can find pure asbestos fibers inside, especially in the engine room area.Asbestos was a typical insulation material, other than a heat barrier, back in the 50's and 60's. There was an ffp3 mask on a table at some moment during the video, someone else was smarter, thinking about safety...next time wear a mask, everyone has a mask on in this time...
And gloves! That's exploring 101. Especially in an environment like this with jagged, rusted metal everywhere. An infected cut could do serious damage.
Thanks a lot for watching! Have you seen my graduation movie also? I might upload some more stop motion work in the future :) The video footage is really old (and shitty) the other episodes have a way better quality☺️
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath no, I haven't seen your graduation movie...definitely interested...your videos are so good and love the longer ones...soke of your older videos are short before you did longer ones so would be good to see extra footage from those while in lockdown 😁😁😁
@@halcyondaystunesThanks, I'm editing fulltime...loads of work. I uploaded another episode about (even more epic) warships yesterday ! It's 25 minutes. Here's the graduation movie: th-cam.com/video/1pysL0f4XKk/w-d-xo.html I'll upload some other stopmotion in the near future !
42:59 I'm glad I can work my color coded keyboard, imagine being in this room 😂 the engineers who used to work on that schip deserve a medal. 1 wrong move opening/shutting the wrong valve and you might be screwed.
I`ve read that these ships often get used as targets for marine exercises in the ocean. And i don`t think that these ships are`nt any more seaworthy. They just need some diesel to get the engines running..
For being used as a target ship, the fuel tanks to be completely empty ,also all other tanks should be oil free, as all ships carries tonnes of fuel mostly in the double bottom tanks. It's usually cleaned and oilfre ed, surveyed by a surveyor, then it's towed with a tug to the firing exercise zone. To avoid marine pollution, MARPOL.
I Loved Exploring Around On Ships Like That.. Were You Can Go Around At Your Own.. But, Yes It Could Be Very Dangerous.. But, It Was Cool Watching All. God Bless You All..
entering abandoned ships is really dangerous, specially if its cealed, because rust start poluting the air with co2 and you could die there in minutes, most rooms maybe fine, but the ones on the bottom may be lacking O2 specially cauldron or engine rooms, since most dont have good ventilation.
@Kernal Scott 2 If i remember correctly the CO2 becomes an issue if it "pools" in some confined space (no power in the ship means lower air circulation). There was a video by some infographic channel here on youtube that had something similar happen, though I cannot remember if it was CO2 or CO or perhaps something else.
@@DasZees kahoala3 think for a second, OXIDATION is for example of iron Fe+O2-->Fe2O4, so gradually O2 is coming out of the air and going in to the iron walls, so with less o2 you cant breath, this wont happen as a rule in every contained area, since there might be some sort of ventilation, but it might happen, and you will die in minutes, without anyone to help you, because you would need a full breath suit. i said full of co2 because you wont have enough o2 to breath. yes the "explanation" is wrong but explaining that oxidation slowly sucks o2 from the air takes much time...
@@lukasausen so now you have a different explanation? and it took just as long to explain. Sounds more like you came up with a reason to make your original comment sound valid. The fact of the o2 reacting with the steel walls and their being less o2 is insignificant because of surface rust limiting the amount of o2 reacted and how much rust do we even see? Sure two people breathing in an enclosed ship create a lot of co2 but the rust does not add any danger, simply being enclosed is enough.
Great work. Brilliant still photography. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Always refreshing to see a whole lot of people having fun too.Cheers.
You Frenchmen are artists. much love from America! Those ships really are beautiful vessels. However, I don’t think you would find plumbing like that on an American military Vessel.
to think all those cables are many tons and tons less to do many times the work today. I was in the transition of serial to fiber...old modem days, giant satellites. cathode ray tubes, the heat and buzzes and radiology. Analog. 5 people to be 1 computer
I love the size and look of this French war ship .wish only I could have one donated for ROTC and medical training for all students in the Duluth Minnesota area and the iron range
Thanks Stacey, Thanks for watching. Did you see the other (newer) episode of a warship? This is just old (boring) footage. th-cam.com/video/TsZqdXJsRk8/w-d-xo.html
Hello, I am French, I love your super quality videos but I have a warning to give to those who would like to try the experience. A fairly well-known TH-camr in France has already visited these ships a year or two ago. It is a military site placed under the protection of the French National Navy and the TH-camr in question had the obligation to withdraw its video under penalty of heavy legal proceedings. The ships are still equipped with secret defense classified equipment. This site is therefore monitored 24 hours a day by armed soldiers from the Navy. In short, all of this to warn that it is extremely dangerous to venture onto this site. Protection has also been reinforced since the visit of the French TH-camr
EN Actually the Mamytwink video is still on TH-cam and is viewable in all countries except France. I just watched it from the USA. || FR En fait la vidéo de Mamytwink est toujours sur TH-cam, elle n’est bloquée qu’en France et est visible dans tous les autres pays. Je viens de la regarder ici aux USA.
As a former USN sailor in the 1980’s I highly doubt anything still aboard these ships is any kind of secret technology. Some may well still be classified but in reality this old tech was eclipsed decades ago! So no state secrets to accidentally divulge but certainly a risk of legal action by the French authorities who know how dangerous old decomposing vessels can be. Very nice footage OP! These French ships look very pleasant and clean. They are very similar to USN vessels of the Cold War era!
42:52 is the boiler room, specifically the burner front area and a hub of activity for the boilermen. The labyrinth of pipes and valves were necessary to precisely control the pressure and temperature of the fuel to each burner to maximize efficiency. The next photo shows 2 large gray boxes (coffret) that contain some automated instrumentation devices, the proto beginnings of 'ABC', 'Automatic Boiler Control', which is a fully matured electronic technology today. Between the boxes is a small cabinet that most likely contained a phone that connected with the main engine room. Above the cabinet is a clip board holder where one would find the shift schedule, the night orders and probably a menu from the dining galley. This little space is hauntingly abandoned in these photos, but in its day, it was occupied by multiple people at once and was a very lively and busy place.
Thanks for your info! This is shitty footage not made to be uploaded. I went back to the same place/other ships and maybe can use a bit of the info. I also went to explore other ships which are decently filmed😁

Mostly inside abandoned ship is toxicated. Be safe my friend.
O² meter is basic. Rust consumes all air in these closed spaces
Having Chinese friends is more toxic than these old ships.
Dave Beals 😂😢😂😂😂 you racist !!!

Very nice and very inoformative video host, thank you for sharing.
Wow always great content I want to thank you guys for inspiring me to try urbex. Although in my town there’s no abandoned war ships we do have some interesting things.
I love how you can hear you heartbeat going!
I could hear your heart beating after you got on the ship... Ahhh anxiety.
Respect dat jullie zo'n groot risico nemen, om eerst dat hele tering ent omhoog te klimmer, via het anker en dan heb je natuurlijk ook de patrouille die jullie waarschijnlijk een paar dagen in de cel gooit als ze hier achter komen en dat allemaal voor een youtube video!
Respect for you guys! The amount of work to climb up ontop of the ship and evading the patrolling guards, all for a youtube vid!
Jou taal?...Nederlands, Vlaams?...mooi taal
Anyone else wearing headphones hear his heartbeat? Adds to the suspense and excitement
Haha kinda funny and scary too
I love the look of all the vintage gauges and knobs. im building an old truck and going to track some down to put in it.
Be careful, a french youtuber Mamytwink uploaded an urbex exploration on these exact same ships. His video has been deleted and he had serious problems with the french Navy.
I was a bit concerned about that as well. At least we got to see it. Hopefully they don't give him trouble.
SLIM SHADY Maybe because he was French, so the French navy could get to him easily. If you’re not French then it would be harder for them to get to you.
Incredible video, 10/10 all the way through. Didn't expect the stop motion shots either, so that was a hell of a bad ass welcome addition
Thanks ! Too be honest this is shitty footage. I recently uploaded another naval ship with a decent camera !
Lot of lead and asbestos on ships of this era. Id recommend better PPE when doing stuff like this
I have known for over three years we are at the end. . .These rusting hulks are as many others that survived a cold war, yet now die of time itself. . .Can you not tell, we are finished. . .Did you think the world would last on and on. . .We are at the second coming of Jesus Christ and soon all you knew, all we all grew up knowing will be no more as it all heralds the approach of Jesus Christ and all who attend with him envelope all we've known envelope the earth. . . And those who schemed and plotted their way to riches will be left with them, in the mindless arrogance which laid them in filth they created, for you and me. . . . . . .
I was thinking the same, if you look at the pipes, where they are wrapped, you easily can find pure asbestos fibers inside, especially in the engine room area.Asbestos was a typical insulation material, other than a heat barrier, back in the 50's and 60's. There was an ffp3 mask on a table at some moment during the video, someone else was smarter, thinking about safety...next time wear a mask, everyone has a mask on in this time...
And gloves! That's exploring 101. Especially in an environment like this with jagged, rusted metal everywhere. An infected cut could do serious damage.
Asbestos can be a problem, but the lead is not going to jump at you, is it
@@daveberry5901lol okay
Great Urbex guys, loved the stop-motion stuff. Buy some decent head torches ffs!
The stop motion was amazing
Thanks a lot for watching! Have you seen my graduation movie also? I might upload some more stop motion work in the future :) The video footage is really old (and shitty) the other episodes have a way better quality☺️
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath no, I haven't seen your graduation movie...definitely interested...your videos are so good and love the longer ones...soke of your older videos are short before you did longer ones so would be good to see extra footage from those while in lockdown 😁😁😁
@@halcyondaystunesThanks, I'm editing fulltime...loads of work. I uploaded another episode about (even more epic) warships yesterday ! It's 25 minutes. Here's the graduation movie: th-cam.com/video/1pysL0f4XKk/w-d-xo.html
I'll upload some other stopmotion in the near future !
old ships look to be some of the more dangerous objects to explore, your endeavors are much appreciated.
Next idea, RENOVATE ONE, get a crew and then sail
42:59 I'm glad I can work my color coded keyboard, imagine being in this room 😂 the engineers who used to work on that schip deserve a medal. 1 wrong move opening/shutting the wrong valve and you might be screwed.
It took me halfway through the video to realize that it's not my. Heart beating loudly
Excellent work Guys! Thank you.
Rich.
Thanks a lot for watching😊!
I`ve read that these ships often get used as targets for marine exercises in the ocean. And i don`t think that these ships are`nt any more seaworthy. They just need some diesel to get the engines running..
For being used as a target ship, the fuel tanks to be completely empty ,also all other tanks should be oil free, as all ships carries tonnes of fuel mostly in the double bottom tanks. It's usually cleaned and oilfre ed, surveyed by a surveyor, then it's towed with a tug to the firing exercise zone. To avoid marine pollution, MARPOL.
Gas turbine engines
@@southwestxnorthwest steam turbines, see those A or triangle shaped boilers producing superheated steam.
@@southwestxnorthwest Yea pau is correct, these arent gas turbine powered. Diesel
France doesn’t use the ships as target practice, nor does any European country, for environmental reasons.
fantastic authentic tour.... the inside is still in excellent condition...bravo
Great, now be prepared to get some troubles with French justice =)
Prachtige docu. Bedankt, helden van Nederland.
I hope your video will not be removed, some French youtubers got trouble wid their videos
Mamytwink
I Loved Exploring Around On Ships Like That..
Were You Can Go Around At Your Own..
But, Yes It Could Be Very Dangerous..
But, It Was Cool Watching All.
God Bless You All..
entering abandoned ships is really dangerous, specially if its cealed, because rust start poluting the air with co2 and you could die there in minutes, most rooms maybe fine, but the ones on the bottom may be lacking O2 specially cauldron or engine rooms, since most dont have good ventilation.
yes, i was going to say this, another room to be really careful of is chain lockers.
@Kernal Scott 2 If i remember correctly the CO2 becomes an issue if it "pools" in some confined space (no power in the ship means lower air circulation). There was a video by some infographic channel here on youtube that had something similar happen, though I cannot remember if it was CO2 or CO or perhaps something else.
look up oxidation formula for steel. ZERO CO2 produced. Completely unfounded claim.
@@DasZees kahoala3 think for a second, OXIDATION is for example of iron Fe+O2-->Fe2O4, so gradually O2 is coming out of the air and going in to the iron walls, so with less o2 you cant breath, this wont happen as a rule in every contained area, since there might be some sort of ventilation, but it might happen, and you will die in minutes, without anyone to help you, because you would need a full breath suit. i said full of co2 because you wont have enough o2 to breath. yes the "explanation" is wrong but explaining that oxidation slowly sucks o2 from the air takes much time...
@@lukasausen so now you have a different explanation? and it took just as long to explain. Sounds more like you came up with a reason to make your original comment sound valid. The fact of the o2 reacting with the steel walls and their being less o2 is insignificant because of surface rust limiting the amount of o2 reacted and how much rust do we even see? Sure two people breathing in an enclosed ship create a lot of co2 but the rust does not add any danger, simply being enclosed is enough.
Great work. Brilliant still photography. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Always refreshing to see a whole lot of people having fun too.Cheers.
EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for letting us share your adventure. Nicely put together.
I wanted to grab my PlayStation controller and move you around. One of my games is kinda like that.
You Frenchmen are artists. much love from America! Those ships really are beautiful vessels. However, I don’t think you would find plumbing like that on an American military Vessel.
to think all those cables are many tons and tons less to do many times the work today. I was in the transition of serial to fiber...old modem days, giant satellites. cathode ray tubes, the heat and buzzes and radiology. Analog. 5 people to be 1 computer
I love the size and look of this French war ship .wish only I could have one donated for ROTC and medical training for all students in the Duluth Minnesota area and the iron range
Thanks Stacey, Thanks for watching.
Did you see the other (newer) episode of a warship? This is just old (boring) footage.
th-cam.com/video/TsZqdXJsRk8/w-d-xo.html
Hello, I am French, I love your super quality videos but I have a warning to give to those who would like to try the experience. A fairly well-known TH-camr in France has already visited these ships a year or two ago. It is a military site placed under the protection of the French National Navy and the TH-camr in question had the obligation to withdraw its video under penalty of heavy legal proceedings. The ships are still equipped with secret defense classified equipment. This site is therefore monitored 24 hours a day by armed soldiers from the Navy. In short, all of this to warn that it is extremely dangerous to venture onto this site. Protection has also been reinforced since the visit of the French TH-camr
EN Actually the Mamytwink video is still on TH-cam and is viewable in all countries except France. I just watched it from the USA. || FR En fait la vidéo de Mamytwink est toujours sur TH-cam, elle n’est bloquée qu’en France et est visible dans tous les autres pays. Je viens de la regarder ici aux USA.
As a former USN sailor in the 1980’s I highly doubt anything still aboard these ships is any kind of secret technology. Some may well still be classified but in reality this old tech was eclipsed decades ago! So no state secrets to accidentally divulge but certainly a risk of legal action by the French authorities who know how dangerous old decomposing vessels can be. Very nice footage OP! These French ships look very pleasant and clean. They are very similar to USN vessels of the Cold War era!
42:52 is the boiler room, specifically the burner front area and a hub of activity for the boilermen. The labyrinth of pipes and valves were necessary to precisely control the pressure and temperature of the fuel to each burner to maximize efficiency.
The next photo shows 2 large gray boxes (coffret) that contain some automated instrumentation devices, the proto beginnings of 'ABC', 'Automatic Boiler Control', which is a fully matured electronic technology today.
Between the boxes is a small cabinet that most likely contained a phone that connected with the main engine room. Above the cabinet is a clip board holder where one would find the shift schedule, the night orders and probably a menu from the dining galley.
This little space is hauntingly abandoned in these photos, but in its day, it was occupied by multiple people at once and was a very lively and busy place.
Thanks for your info! This is shitty footage not made to be uploaded. I went back to the same place/other ships and maybe can use a bit of the info. I also went to explore other ships which are decently filmed😁
Imagining someone close the door and lock it
Most were welded shut to begin with, it wasn't exactly a door they entered through.
Ongelooflijk wat een lef en wat een interessante video. Jullie hebben er een sub. Kudos
Urbex Extrem!!! Wow, what a brilliant Tour, an absolute amazing Location. Thanks for this... :-)
Are the Ships still there?
No, sady they’re scrapped. The best ship was the “cruiser le Colbert” which was scrapped in 2016. You will see that one in the next episode.😎
Awesome video Bob! It's remind me so much, in fact it was my fav exploration ever.
11:14 / 45:03 "every hole could be an entrance" LOL
Great work. Enjoyable to watch. Envy you both. Always use gloves guys, especially climbing rusty chains 😳
Thanks for watching! I made a second part with even more epic naval ships
Exploring the Unbeaten Path Im just watching your explore of Nicosia airport in suspense to see if you manage to escape or not with the crazy number of patrols 😆
imagine u are exploring inside the ship.....then suddenly, a bomb being dropped because that ship is being use as target practice by the military
Is there ghost
@Rana Ali Akhtar Alam Khan not when they are lying in a river in a populated area
@Rana Ali Akhtar Alam Khan they are used as target,but not on a coastal site like this,firing ranges are miles away on the open ocean
@@3dvorator RAAAK He is only 12y and has a vivid imagination.
@@pieterv6984 pfff so they drag it out while they are sleeping.
Ha.
Petite poison.
Oh it's near where I live, I've done some kayaking there and you can go between the boats quite easily
Air soft on there would be insane.
Muy bien. Muchas Gracias por tremendo esfuerzo saludos desde California 🥑🍓🍊🍋🌎🌏🌍
Do you realize that's basically military territory and that less than 3km away, there is one of the most important military base of the country??
Ofcourse we know! But we want to see these amazing ships 😄 We have seen them patrol often.
So awesome to be able to find a location like this one!
In any moment another episode will pop of of even more epic naval ships🤩
11:17 see that's what I told her!
