Some RoRo ferries may be inherently unstable; the Queen of the North was not. She often sailed the Prince Rupert to Skidegate route across the Hecate and I was on in a few sailings in over 5m seas. She could handle it, and was fairly comfortable in seas up to 3m. No problem handling rough weather.
Wow! Thank you for your perspective! I love your input and the fact you have experience with this vessel before her sinking. Thank you so, so much for sharing that with me!
The issue with RORO stability is that the large open spaces of the car deck become a problem if water gets onto them. It’s not a problem unless the ship is flooding
That’s not saying much.. been fishing the strait in a 45’ boat in same or sometimes worse conditions for decades. This disaster was complete bridge crew incompetence. They should all be in prison still to this day. Listen to the VHF recordings from that night… disgusting.
I research in the Queen of the North incident and the autopilot would not change the maneuvers it would just keep the ship in a steady course in one line they would have to turn it off for the next turn
A friend of mine worked aboard vessels for BC Ferries and took his duties seriously. Not so much many of his crew mates, the union or the company. It wasn't unusual to have crew members who were supposed to be doing car deck patrols (looking for things like fuel leaks) away from their posts in the crew lounge or even having sex on the clock. Friend reported this through the chain of command and nothing was done. Well, two things were done - he had a crew member butt a cigarette out on his chest and two others told him he "could go overboard" right quick if he didn't keep his mouth shut. Friend had a wife and kids so transfered to shore duty to save his life. This was through the "Wrath of Hahn" era and there's little evidence things have improved since. And it's a travesty that the new vessel on that route wasn't named Queen or Spirit of Hartley Bay as a tribute to a small indigenous community that saved and supported so many.
Holy cow! Thank you so much for that perspective. I'm glad your friend took his duties seriously and that is so alarming how they treated him! I wish him well in life moving forward. Cheers!
A very interesting video indeed. She was a truly beautiful ship. As an aside, Sir Wilfred Laurier was a Canadian Prime Minister. Being of French Canadian lineage, his name is pronounced Lor-Ee-ay.
You can tell when you are really enthralled with a story. Familiar with the story. Forgot it was 2006. 17 years ago and it seems like yesterday. What strikes me is why they didn’t run the ship aground saving everything. The actions by the captain after impact and finally how deep the water is relatively close to shore. 1400’ or 426 meters is quite a depth so close. The peaks you see in the picture go straight down. That’s also why ships can’t anchor there.
That's incredible! Thank you for sharing that. I didn't know they couldn't anchor there! I really found this story fascinating with how much controversy is surrounding it. 2006 feels so long ago yet not at all at the same time!!
@@thereissomecoolstuff Yes, I’m shocked by how deep the water is right off the shore. The queen of the north is probably resting on a steep underwater incline.
@@shipwrecksunday I have been looking forward to a video on the MV Thomas Aquinas. I have seen some of the body recovery mission footage and what those divers went through to pull it off. Just such a shame when these things happen and you learn how unsafe/unstable they are. And as you point out human error tends to be a huge factor in a majority of these cases.
I am pretty sure the ECDIS would have been blaring at them, off track and on a grounding vector.. Unless they toned the volume down because they were busy with "other" things of(f) course
I think disasters are all relative and that they shouldn't necessarily be compared and contrasted as "worse" or "as bad as (insert shipwreck)". SS Arctic was tragic and I did cover her and her sister ship, SS Pacific.
Dear Miss Elinor, Once again, I must express my admiration for your latest video. It was truly terrifying to see the ship sinking stern-first. Additionally, I greatly appreciate how comprehensively you covered the aftermath of the sinking. Your work is truly remarkable, Miss. Thank you.
Having had some involvement in the investigation this is not a bad video, There are a few minor errors and interesting ways to pronounce names. What was not mentioned is why the bridge crew failed to ensure that the correct turn was made and then for the subsequent 14 minutes until grounding did not monitor the ship's position. It also fails to explain why only 2 people on the bridge in bad weather at night when in constricted waters requiring critical changes of course.
Before watching this i had seen the disasters at sea documentary and it said that the sea control the ship was in contact with didn't believe the ships position in any of the 3 attempts the crew made to let them know where they were when they sent out their mayday.
Any loss of life in a ship sinking, let alone at all, is tragic but fact only two died, is “low” with all things considered. I noticed you were thinking of covering the MV Sewol; that is definitely going to be a rough one to cover
I'm thankful the death toll in this one was low, and it's still sad and tragic but it is much easier to swallow than something like MV Salem Express. I am looking into MV Sewol! That one will be tough.
@@shipwrecksundaySewol is an awful one because it just defies any explanation and people just watched, for days, right there on scene as children drowned 😢 and it was one when the captain did a runner too. I will be honest, it haunted me for some time. There was no reason for any person to die in that one, no reason at all.
amazing work! I have researched this for a long time and i think this is the best video on the topic so far. i find it interesting how the crew also failed to give there position 3 times, and how lilgert reported he saw a ship that wasn't reported on the radar, he was looking for it then crashed. also 3:44 this is the other queen of surrey, she still exists today.
Hi I watch the ocean Channel a lot and my two favourite videos are the queen of New Westminster tour the Queen of the North and the one where that person talk to all bad about BC ferries and then where you over viewed that
I’m curious what state the wreck is in now, after more than 15 years underwater. It would be interesting to do a detailed expedition to go to the wreck again and explore the interior.
@@glenistergrotj3022 it's in really cold water, so it might be preserved pretty well. I'd assume it's in a similar state to MS Estonia or MV Salem Express!
@@shipwrecksunday Definitely. It also depends on the acidity and type of bacteria in the water. The titanic is in a highly acidic environment with bacteria that are eating the ship apart. I’m not sure what kind of microbes would be deteriorating the queen if the north.
Great story. I grew up taking that ferry from Prince Rupert to Haida Gwaii. I was off at college in the interior when it sank. Couldn't believe it. Although, to be honest, that ferry fell off as soon as they took away the mortal kombat arcade! Oh, only thing that pulled me out of it was the pronunciation of Hecate Strait. "Heck-et" Or if you say it casual enough, it's just "heck-it". Minor nitpick though. Great research!
Gerald Foisy had a warrant out for his arrest. They absolutely made it off the ship and took the opportunity to disappear. There have been sitings of Shirley in Alaska.
It couldn't be any more ridiculous, ship runs aground, meaning there was less than 17 feet of water when the ship was damaged, yet her final resting position is 4000 feet deep. That to me is the criminal action of the crew. Had they stopped the ship directly after grounding it would have settled on the bottom in shallow water.
What a sad and tragic loss of life and a perfectly sound vessel, plus the unnecessary trauma to those not mentally equipped for those circumstances, simply passengers with no sea-going experience.. all because of the careless attitude to their responsibilities by the crew. It doesn't take the skills of a master mariner to ensure that a vessel is following a pre-programmed course already plotted and shown distinctly on a modern navigation display.. it would indicate immediately if the vessel's position was even a few meters off course. If I'd lost a close relative as a result of their negligence I'd make sure they never enjoyed another sleepless night.
Grammar police here: Bremerhaven is pronounced Bremer-hah-vin W in German is pronounced as a V, so Wemer should have been pronounced as Vaymer. (Sorry, German is my second language).
As a merchant mariner I don’t believe either explanation. This sounds like a clear cut example of falling asleep on watch. Chances are there was only one person on the bridge who it was we will never know. They fell asleep and missed the turn. Chances are one of them was dealing with a problem somewhere else on the vessel or possibly in the head and or galley for an extended time, and the other fell asleep in the chair. Now this is just my opinion but it has been know to happen. I always stand my watch because it’s pretty damn hard to fall asleep when standing! I don’t see having sex or a fight causing this situation, and unless a greenhorn deckhand was left at the helm the didn’t know how to disconnect the auto pilot, let alone simply use the autopilot to turn the vessel story is bullshit. This is in my opinion a clear cut example of falling asleep on watch if I’ve heard one.
Hey, I love hearing from experienced mariners and I appreciate your perspective on this sinking! I think that is always a possibility to consider, and I'm glad you pointed that out! Thank you so much!
Interesting story and they only lost two people thankfully still sad though 😔. She collided with an island but sank stern first I find this very odd😱😱😱😱😱😱
@@shipwrecksundayI think it went stren first due to the free surface effect on the car deck making the water pool at the stern. And so it went stern first
Big paws to fill after The Queen Peaches episode! Queen of The North could go there almost… i never understood how a Stena vessel not as ice class. The MV Expedition the Mv Explorer’s replacement is a sister so that’s why I’m like no ice class? Sinking by the stern it’s a RORO. I worked on one of only two ferries on the east coast with a visor aka a bow door we had Estonia pins as they were called to keep the bow from rising in seas. Hmm that sounds like similar to the real story of the Exxon Valdez. Similar story of sex.
I'll have to look into Exxon Valdez! I've heard of that one just from being alive but haven't researched it! RORO ferries are finicky creatures. Someone in the comments told me they should really be called Roll On Roll OVER ferries, and I kind of agree with that, sadly! They aren't super stable. Thank you so much! Great to see you!!
@@shipwrecksunday yea you won’t find the real reason in the records, on the Valdez it’s the word of mouth. It’s a small community with stories. But if you are on Long Island and ever want to take a ferry from Port Jefferson or orient point take the Park City or her older sister the Mary Ellen and you can experience something that you can’t get in this country. Especially out of Orient Point.
Very well done Elinor! This sinking could’ve been avoided so easily had it not been for all that NSFW stuff happening on the bridge! Since there’s probably more of that stuff happening in all the Below Deck series, it’s strange how those ships haven’t sunk already, lol! The oil and fuel spill is also terrible, and if you get the chance, I recommend covering the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon. It caused the worst oil spill ever in US history, and the movie was especially well made. Anyways, keep up the good work and I look forward to the next video! (PS, the interview with Peaches was awesome!)
Thanks so much! I'll definitely have to check into Deepwater Horizon - I've not covered oil spills like that before! Lol Below Deck is really lucky they haven't had a situation like this!! Cheers!!
Now this one I should have heard of since it happened so recently. Alas I rely on your research and work to find out about this tragedy. 👍 Originally laying charges against the helms woman was ridiculous. It's not like she, or any person at the helm of a ship, was in control of where the ship is supposed to be going. They only take direction/orders from the officer who has "the deck" at the time. It's not like the driver of a car, truck, or bus. Suggestion and comments should always be offered by all persons on the bridge of a commercial ship. But in the end it's the officer of the deck, and the captain, that should take all responsibility for what happens (good or bad) with the ship under their command. You've done an excellent job, again, bringing this incident to light for all to learn about.
Good storytelling, Elinor! Some years ago, I handled a customer service call with a lady on one of these ferries. We had an interesting visit, and she told me she took the ferry a couple time a week.
Thank you!! That's very interesting - I've never been on a ferry like that. I've been on a short one to take me out to Ellis Island, but that's it! Cheers!
