Hi Sam!Did you Know about White Star Line's ghost ship SS Naronic?It's very intresting story and there is a video on You Tube about this ship.
Yes, it's on his list to make a video about.
One possible scenario is that everyone abandoned ship fearing the alcohol aboard would explode
Absolutely fascinating! Great job Sam!
Well,
I once read a book about ship myths and superstitions, that it's considered bad luck to rename a ship.
Fascinating video. Thank you.
My guess is they encountered a severe storm that made the ship's crew think the ship was going to sink.
A storm the other ship on the same course at the same time did not encounter? At least that is how I understood Sam.
@@davidklande There wasn't a storm when the ship was discovered. That doesn't mean there wasn't a storm earlier on in the ship's voyage.
@@KB-bh9hp Yes but shouldn't that other ship on the same route at the same time have at least seen that storm even if they weren't caught in it? After all a storm doesn't end a few meters from the ship
@@davidklande Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe we have an exact timeline in terms of when the crew abandoned the ship. They could have encountered this severe storm days or weeks ago, abandoned ship. Then the ship drifted hundreds of miles before it was discovered.
If you're up for a spooky 10-15 hour long experience, "The Return of the Obra Dinn" is a fantastic game about investigating the circumstances of a ghost-ship. I highly recommend it for anyone who's a fan of puzzles and mysteries!
The Flying Dutchman story is really scrambling my head. 🤔
I strongly believe that the Mary Celeste suffered an explosion due to alcohol leaking from her cargo. Recreations have shown that ignition of alcohol fumes would have created a pressure wave that would have blown open hatches and terrified the crew into evacuating. But alcohol burns at such a low temperature that it wouldn't have been hot enough to burn anything but the alcohol fumes. You can see this yourself if you soak a dollar bill in alcohol and light it on fire, the dollar won't even singe. Also, a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion is water, which explains why everything below decks was wet.
I was one of the people who was fighting for this video to happen lol
Now I'm wondering after you mentioned the Flying Dutchman, is the Black Pearl also a subject of urban legend or was it just an invention of Disney? Would be really cool to hear your take on the Pirates of the Caribbean, and in fact all big seafaring movies in general with the accurate historical context (potential future series?)! Great vid Sam, keep up the good work :)
I know they’re real in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies but it’d also be cool to know where myths of things like The Black Spot and The Kraken (did I spell that right?) came from
@@katiesnyder6296 Yes you spelled it correctly 🙂 the Kraken is actually real, a few giant squid have washed up on shore in Japan and have been studied and well documented if you wanted to look it up, though whether or not they used to feast on wayward sailors I couldn't say 😅
@@rockstarJDP that does make a lot of sense! I’ll have to look that up thank you! And thank you for spell checking me! Lol
@@katiesnyder6296 no problem 😊 👌
@@katiesnyder6296 the Kraken are a new NHL Hockey team in Seattle, WA!
Good job man
So interresting video 👍
King George V saw the Flying Dutchman when he and his brother, Prince Albert, were on board the HMS Bacchante in the Bass Strait off the coast of Australia in 1881.
Sam, there are no ropes on boats, they are lined. Each line has its own name.
Considering this is spooky month can we get some more ghost ship videos?
Great video BTW
BOOYAH!!
Finally, the Flying Dutchman
would be funny if they called the ship Amazon Prime
I’m surprised if the ship was just abandoned it hasn’t just beached somewhere or sink somewhere by hitting a rock or something. It’s just sailing somewhere in the ocean.
Holy 54k subs wow
👋 Sam
It seems most likely to me that they all loaded into the tender and used the main halyard to tie themselves to the ship after the rea oak barrels leaked sufficient alcohol vapor into the hull for a small flash but big enough to blow the hatch off to the hold. They feared the hull was compromised due to malfunction in the pump and while in the lifeboat the rope got cut or parted and they drifted into oblivion. Lifeboats with bodies were not unheard of washing ashore all over the world back then as it was one of the most common outcomes to using lifeboats in the days before wireless, aircraft, and mass shipping. When looked at it that way i see little mystery.
Capt over reacted due to having his family there. No way the crew would stay aboard a ship the capt thought might blow or sink while the capt and his family sail the only life boat away...hell, the crew may have stages a mutiny on this fact alone and splashed the good capt and his family and not have the seamanship ability to navigate. They did think they were closer to land than they were i have heard according to the ships log or something.....
But the media of the time sensationalized it
Maybe they stopped at a report but maybe the wind was strong and broke the chains off with a rope off of America last missed a fun way and then they just found in my Lantic ocean
Who dislikes this??
YES! WHO?
most seamen ,
To bad there is an older ghost ship
Octavius mid to late 1700's
Histor Titanic do you believe in the rumors of Titanic's Ghost?
I bet it was pirates.
No fair, no pause...
Could you maybe make a video on the PS Waverley? She's a very historic ship and has one heck of a story.
I guess “Amazon” is just a cursed name in shipping.
You say that again
No problem Sam take your time! Don't rush your vids for us. You are amazing!
Thank you so much!
@@HistoricTravels i just started watching. cant wait for part 2. good so far.
@@HistoricTravels You are amazing
Sam you should do the story of the ghost ship MV Joyita whose 25 crew and passengers vanished in the South Pacific in 1955.
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction as this is bizarre.
BTW, I would love your take on the sinking of the MV Sewol- a very tragic story indeed.
I’m so here for it!
I appreciate your thoroughness and dedication to the truth, as always. Great video, Sam
If I had to guess and I actually read that this is a good possible theory, they encountered a storm or some minor collision and thought the ship would sink so they abandoned it for safety reasons. Then while they were in the lifeboat, something happened and they got caught in a current that carried them away from the ship and weren't able to get back and eventually succumbed to the elements and starvation.
i go with the Theory with the Mary Celeste that the Ship had a Leak with the cargo with Alcohol Vapors leaking and they thought the ship would Explode. But it would be same results
@@madmike131369 Oh I never heard of that theory but that's always possible too. Whatever it was, it definitely scared them enough to abandon ship quickly and unfortunately passed.
You should make a video on the RMS Queen Elizabeth
I have heard of Mary Celeste before and am too familiar with the Flying Dutchman , but what about the ghost stories linked with Titanic ?
Great video! The Franklin Expedition would make for good Halloween content as well. Especially if you seen the series "The Terror". I highly recommend that show and yet.. dont at the same time. You may or may not want to jump off a bridge after watching it. Never seen a show that could make you feel as if you're slowly dying like the crew.
Was the flying Dutchman a real ship or was it just like you said urban legend
Hi Sam! Great video I really enjoyed it, could you make a video about the flying Dutchman I really like that ship
Hey did you see the announced new lego Titanic model?! 9090 pieces!!!
Wow so cool you did the captian patrons like Star Wars and dope vid lots of love from NightRider.🖤
Love your work but I think you should try to make the videos slightly longer
Almost every video is 11 minutes long and we all know why that is
You’re the man! Thanks for filtering out all the nonsense
I always think of this ship when people mention Ghost ships
Oooo i cant wait! i must wait 70 mins though
It was the Daleks wasn't it?
I’m sorry in late
Third lmao
Sam love the videos but I would really like to see a video on the rest of the story of the RMS Carpathia, after that fateful night where she helped rescue the Titanic surrviors.
Hello Sam, Love the videos and what you are doing with the channel. I've been obsessed with the Titanic and the other Olympic class ships as a kid! Sending my love from Scotland
Sam, I don't know if this has any truth to it, but I once read that when she was launched, the AMAZON/MARY CELESTE wàs not christened. According to sailor's lore, this act was bad luck; which caused MARY CELESTE to be unlucky. Care to comment?
You ever consider doing Titanic ghost sightings? I've been reading online that people have claimed to have spotted a ghostly Titanic sailing into New York port with a large gash on the spot the iceberg hit. Another thing I read was German uboats firing on what they mistook for the Olyimpic only for it to vanish. Another report of people in a chopper flying over it and seeing the Titanic sinking with people on board who looked like Zombie in appearance. I dunno if there's enough material for a video but maybe you might have found it interesting as a Titanic fan.
My theory is.
A:they could have ran away from the ship and gather supplies
B.The could got been attacked and throw their bodies at sea
C.If the lifeboat is not seen still. They were dead
Would you do a video on the General Slocum? While we like to complain about the negligence of captain and bridge crew of the Costa Concordia and the Dona Paz, the General Slocum is also a cautionary tale about how human life is sacrificed when safety is ignored, and how corporations often get away with negligence when we, the ordinary citizens, pay the price. In my personal opinion, the negligence and disregard were staggering! Did you know that the General Slocum filled their lifejackets with sub-par cork and then, so the life jackets would reach the right weight, secretly slipped bits of iron into them. That was why many children died with the lifejackets! Not only did the cork fail to keep them afloat, but some of the lifejackets actually weighed them down.
Even the ship itself was not free from the consequences of corporate greed. After the accident, the General Slocum was refitted and made into a barge (renamed the Maryland). She sank in 1911 near New Jersey (Note: the ship "officially" sank after it sprang a leak and the captain of the tugboat pulling her cut the rope and let her sink. However, there are reports that the ship was unlucky as many accidents always seemed to happen with her, and there are rumors that the boat may have been deliberately sunk in order to collect the insurance money, as the ship was worth more as a wreck than as a floating vessel by that point. Not proven, of course, but it would not surprise me. Also of note, the three crewmen on the Maryland the night she sank were promptly rescued by the crew of the tugboat, which seems suspicious to me.)
I believe that NUMA continues to look for her but has yet to find her wreckage. They may be a good source if you want to know more information.
Maybe it was a pirate attack because there was a sword on the deck of the ship and why would leave all their stuff behind they could’ve gotten captured they could’ve stolen the lifeboat just in case he said they couldn’t their life or could’ve flown off the deck they probably stole their life build. This theory mention me in when you find Dutchman or Mary/videos
I also got into studying about The R.M.S. Titanic when I was four years old
Awesome channel man, I can’t get enough
the black pearl was actually renamed to the black pearl i forget its original name
Hey i would like you to talk about the octavius ship.. very interesting story.
Great video Sam, I didn't know about this ship. So creepy but also fascinating, can't wait for de next part!
Time to grab my Popcorn, new Video from The History teacher of youtube!
Hey are you going to have a surprise live if you do not mind telling me what day and at what time(Central) so I can be there?
If he told you it wouldn't be a surprise. Lol
You need to save up for the lego titanic and do a review and build
there were a few other things not still on board i cant remember what exactly
What happened to your short sleeve button up?
THANKS SAM!
hell yes. i was wondering when you do ghost ships. if you continue on ghost ships, then my idea would be beside the mary celeste, the Ourang Medan. There is a german newspaper about naval history, in 2019 or 2018 in august, in one of their newspapers there was a more detailed story about the silver star who found the ourang medan after their distress call.
Fascinating👻🚢
Maybe the ghost ship moves because of the wind blows the ship
Can you do a video on ruzzlka
Interesting Sam 😁👍🇬🇧
Thanks! This video was so much work. The older the ship the harder it is to research
@@HistoricTravels keep up the great content 😁👍
😊
You are awesome bro!
Love your videos Sam, keep doing what you are doing! I live in Wichita, Kansas so you'd think I'd be more interested in airplanes, but I've always been far more interested in ships.
I love your videos.
This is the first video of his that I have watched in a while. Great video!
Like video
A great video as always. I try my best to push your channel onto others who might like it. A mom made a titanic Halloween costume for her son because he wanted to be the great ship. It was so cool. I recommended your videos to them, and they seemed to love the idea of joining a live chat. I hope they remember to check you out.
Omg
Awesome Cant wate to hear more.
Sam! The lego titanic is out its $629.
I am aware!
@@HistoricTravels you gonna buy it and review it you don,t have to if you don,t want to.
By the way vanished is misspelled in description.
Where exactly did it sink?
crew drink denatured alcohol(cargo) & leave drunk ship Mary Celeste
Could you please do a video on the world navys during WWII
my class project is WWII
I wonder if the Mary Celeste was attacked by pirates that's what it's sounding like here
@Bobby Papoutsis They weren't as common, but they still exist. The crew that discovered her was even accused of piracy by some who thought they may have offed the Celeste's crew to take the ship for salvage rights.
Creepy. Is it possible that the ship was cursed? Very strange. Iblovw creepy stuff and this story sounds like that. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Salutations, and 'kudos', Sam😊! Another maritime, documentary, well done (well, at least half, so far)!! Just a question, and a suggestion, sir. On describing the "MARY CELESTE", you labeled her (I used the term her, since things like ships, and of beauty, are decreed, a 'her'), a 'brigantine'. I was always led to believe, a brigantine, like a 'bark', had to possess 3-4, masts, while schooner's have 2-3, masts (I know the sail placements, on the mizzenmasts, and square sails on it, denotes barks/brigantines' descriptions, too). Am I correct, on this? Also, wouldn't it be more 'apropos', if your background, monitor's image (during you're podcasts), would match what the present subject discussed, I.e., instead of Titanic's, all the time?
On your next video can you talk about the twin towers
With all do respect, why would a channel themed around ships make a video about the history of the twin towers?
Idk
Since he makes disasters of ships so that’s why
