    I recently received a FiFISH V6 from QYSEA, a underwater drone with built in LED's and a 4K camera, enabling me to explore wrecks that are close to the shore. This will add an exciting new element to come of my shipwreck stories, but while we're waiting, I wanted to take it out for a spin. Not only is this a test run, but we explore the curious history of a collapsed railroad bridge and a Norwegian sailing vessel that grounded in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
    The QYSEA FiFISH V6 can be found at www.qysea.com/products/fifish...
    While this is not a paid sponsorship, it does include merchandise I received for free in exchange for being featured in dive videos.

    I don't know how to explain this, but your videos give me a true wonder of the world. It's both so mundane and awesome, in the most literal sense of inspiring awe. A simple ghost town has its story to tell, lives that started and ended there, a history as important to the locals as the history of large cities is for them. It gives a great appreciation of the world.

      I agree. The way these videos are presented seem very classic in their approach, for a lack of a better word. It's very inspiring and encourages the idea of exploring the hidden parts of the world. It can be all too easy to lose that sense of wonder and curiosity in the shadow of life's daily grind.

I'm British, we have a wealth of history over here but I have a passion for north American history, your nation grew at an unprecedented rate in the 19th century leading to limitless sites of great interest. I'd love to see you do an in depth video covering the events leading up to as well as the aftermath of the Norfolk disaster, that was a colossal explosion by every metric and could so easily have been averted. Anyway it's great to see that this channel is growing quite quickly, I've been subscribed since you were on 180K and that wasn't ll that long ago.🙂

    If it was me piloting that underwater drone, I would definitely try to do a 50 or so foot squared sweep of the area outside of each side of the wreck. Also seems like it would be worth taking out, I would probably be willing to take the unpleasant trudged out there--or possibly light swim out there lol--to get it or other parts.
    Like always, a very interesting video stuff I wish I could do. With properly identified speculation as opposed to facts, just like things should be. Pure quality.
