DOWNLOAD & Play Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus TODAY! play.tacticusgame.com/BigOldBoatsNov Thank you for watching! What do you think happened to the Hewitt?
The Carol Dearing's fate was either piracy or mutiny, I don't see much of a mystery on that one, as the pirates even tried to use tarp to cover the ships name. In my opinion the only mystery on that one is who were the pirates/mutineers?
I always love hearing your conclusions at the end of the video, it’s always eloquently written and wraps up the story so nicely while giving you plenty to think about. Thanks!
The thing i find a little puzzling with the deering is the lightship seamen said that a suspicious character (i.e) not the captain) told him over megafone that they had lost both anchors from the ship but when you look at the pics of the deering when beached at the diamond shoals both the main forward anchors are clearly in the pic hanging from the ship so that tells us that something fishy definitely happened and that the nordic looking men on sulking about on deck had more than likely hijacked the deering.
possibly the crew beached her on the shoals intentionally, in the hopes the Hewitt or another ship coming to their aid would be able to outnumber the hijackers
Until now, I’ve honestly never heard this ship mentioned apart from the Carroll A. Deering, and then chiefly in conjunction with the various piracy theories. For that reason, I’d just say it’s time that someone took on the ships own mysteries in depth, so thank you.
You are such a great story teller! The story is really sad, for those who lost their lives and for the family and friends who never had their grief resolved. I think it is a wonderful thing for you to remember them in this way. It makes me wonder whether the ship would be found if this happened today, particularly with out the benefit of current technology. Thanks so much for the great video!
I still hold that the Deering and the Hewitt fell victim to a Soviet plot to hijack western ships. To what end, we may never know. The fact the crew of the unidentified steamer ignored signals AND worked fast to make the ship unidentifiable, and that the steamer seemed to be following the Deering, says that something foul was afoot.
A bit early for communist shenanigans, but I'd think some smugglers/pirates looking to upgrade their boat might be a bit more likely. I like the Soviet angle though, so I'll go with that lol.
@@anaxis That's a very good point, as Lenin had only been in power for four years by that point. However, it could have been revolutionary elements within the Russian Navy or merchant fleet acting either on their own or under direction from Moscow. It would not have been to the same standards or quality of later KGB and GRU operations during the Cold War, which is probably why it failed.
@@Cyberleader135 It wouldn't be about the cargo, but the ships. Though older, they would be better than most of what the Russian Navy had in its inventory at the time. The Deering could have been used as a training vessel; several nations still use sailing ships as trainers, so there is precedent for it. Furthermore, the Russian fleet was devastated by the revolution, so it would be looking to replenish its inventory - auxiliaries in particular were an area where the Russian Navy lagged behind.
Sorry, Nantucket is far far away from the so-called Bermuda Triangle. And statistically there are no more disappearances in the "Bermuda Triangle" than in any other stretch of ocean of a similar size anywhere in the world. Fitting since it all started as a joke in a humorous magazine.
Interesting video! My great grandfather was a sailor and captain who traveled to South America and New York often around 1900-1920. How I wish I got to hear his stories! I’m sure he had some!
It would really be cool if you or anyone did a video on the Luling Ferry Disaster in Louisiana I think in 1976. Supposed to be the worst ferry disaster ever in America. I've read a couple accounts of the people who were there and it's very sad. One guy who was in his truck went to the bottom of the Mississippi River and was about to drown but somehow his windshield blew out and he got to the surface. There's lots of stories like that. I won't put anymore here in case you decide to do a video.
Many unidentified sea-floor wrecks are marked by oil and gas survey studies or cable laying operations. The private sector has used the data to locate some valuable wrecks. After using their own identification process of course.
The steamer that followed the Deering and was spotted by the lightship reacted much too strangely, in my opinion, for it to not have been engaged in some nefarious activities. I don’t know whether or not it was the Hewitt, but I think it probably was. My guess is that the crew of the Deering probably mutinied and that, somehow, the crew of the Hewitt became aware that the Deering was in trouble and investigated. Once they were close enough to get a good look at the condition of the ship, the crew of the Deering might have felt that they had no alternative but to overpower the crew of the Hewitt and take that ship too. That might explain why they concealed the nameplate of the vessel when they passed the lightship. If this was the case, though, it still wouldn’t explain what happened to the Hewitt… UNLESS the explosion that was seen off the coast of New Jersey was the Hewitt and that the ship was scuttled by the new crew to conceal the evidence. If so, then it’s probably likely that the pirate crew of the Hewitt was able to arrange a meeting with another vessel for passage back to a safe harbor. Of course, it’s also possible that the flash that was seen off the coast of New Jersey was the Hewitt and that the explosion was caused accidentally by a (pirate) crew that didn’t know how to safely manage the cargo of sulphur.
Hello Big Old Boats, As someone who has uploaded a documentary about the SS Hewitt only a few weeks ago, I must say that you've done a great job on yours. The stock footage and the narrations are clear and to the point. I've learnt many details I was not aware of when I was creating my Hewitt documentary. You've discussed some theories that I didn't even think about when I was creating mine. I am also glad to see that we share some common points. Great minds. ; ) Anyways, great documentary. I can see that a lot of effort was put into this. I can't wait to see what's next. Maritime
Captain Nemo met with Atlanteans, who then sent a giant Kraken to attack the ship, and the crew were sold to an alien race who liked sea shanties and mollusk stew. Fact! At least in my mind anyway.😂
If the Hewitt was overloaded, then a rogue wave could have sunk it. As for the Deering, probably mutiny then the ship was abandoned off Diamond Shoals by the mutineers.
If overloading the ship was a regular practice by her owners, her engines and hull could have been heavily strained. It could have weakened her and if she was hit by rough weather, a rogue wave would be the least of their worries.
Sad for the families and friends of those missing. We can never take for granted the days we have . So much can happen in the middle of the ocean. Mystery remains. I could never venture on voyages like that. Too of a land lover. LOL Takes special courage to do what those men do.
Uh, I'm not superstitious, but perhaps making the literal devil your corperate logo and painting him on the ship's funnel wasn't the greatest of decisions.
That freighter you mentioned at the start of the video: the one behind the Caroll A. Deering that the lightship also saw. Whether it was the Hewitt or not, 10 bucks says it was raided by pirates. Why else would the men on board ignore the lightship's attempt at hailing them and go through the hasty, time-consuming process of covering the vessel's name? As for the Hewitt, assuming the ship mentioned above was different - as I imagine it to be as no one mentioned whether or not she resembled the Hewitt - 10 bucks also says she might've blown up. The lucky crew man who survived only did so because he got knocked out by the leaking sulphur gas. Assuming I'm correct in that sulphur is combustible, it could have easily ignited somehow and blow up the ship. The only thing I struggle to process is - assuming it was the source of that explosion the guy saw - how the hay could no debris be found.
The Bermuda triangle is a myth, ships are lost all the time throughout history, It is an area that could becalm sailing ships in the area known as the Sargoso Sea, but on average it is no different from any other place in the oceans of the rest of the world, it just sounds spooky and scary.... just saying...
@@TimothyWiley-r2b Ignore him. Some ppl dont like to get their bubbles burst. Also, Nantucket is far far away from the so-called Bermuda Triangle. As with most of the disappearances blamed on that myth.
Sulphur burns - but, on it's own - doesn't explode. AFAIK, monster waves are a thing in the Bermuda triangle. An overly-laden ship might break apart when hit by one....
Ship losses are socially interesting. If the same body count were the product of a bus crash it's briefly news, but put them in a tin can or an aircraft (much worse because it triggers the phobic) and it's a question for the ages. Given the vast number of vessels built since 1900 it's a wonder more don't sink, not that some sink in entertaining ways. Titanic tops the crop for sinkings whose entertainment value to humanity dwarfs the minor human loss with the obsessed like Stockton Rush sometimes joining the original dead pile.
My guess would be the crew fell victim to the same fumes that have saved the single survivor. Fumes are no fun and people are dumb. One crew member falls unconscious, another one falls as he's trying to save the first. Before you know it the whole crew is down under the decks looking for each other dying left and right. Who knows, maybe the ship was drifting for a while, full of bodies, before it blew up sky high. As for the wooden ship, idk but it's not that uncommon for people to misread the situation and bail while the vehicle is still good to go. This happened even to some bomber crews in WWII and the planes sometimes just landed themselves.
She would have definitely blew up if the cold water hit the hot boilers, it happened so many times. Take the Carl D. Bradley for example, before the stern went under, that happened and no doubt killed anyone who was in the engine room.
A rogue wave maybe, I think this happened to the Edmund Fitzgerald, and it could've taken both ships down before their crews even knew what was happening....
No NFL-bound player will play 3, 4, or even 5 extra games (counting the conference championships, which I expect now to cease existing after this year and good riddance). Conference championship games only became a thing to enhance a conference's chance of getting a team into the single natty game or the 4-team playoff. As those reasons no longer exist, nor does the justification for conference championship games. But I digress. The NFL-bound players who got their teams to where they rank and will be seeded in the absolute joke that this 12-team playoff will be, are NOT going to play. You already couldn't get them to play for even 1 bowl game, so what makes you think they'll play so many more? Thus, there's no way of properly ranking the actual teams who will be on the field for these games as there will be massive nonparticipation by their key players. This whole expanded playoff was argued for ONLY by nonparticipants. The fans who wanted to see it, and those who realized they could made bank from having more games, namely the networks, the schools they contract with, and now also the bookies. Do the mercenary NIL/transfer portal players of today care? No. Do the coaches? Only because they perceive their jobs now depend on not only getting to this big playoff but also winning at least 1 game in it, but otherwise they'd rather be out recruiting for next year. This expanded playoff was such a bad idea. Let's just go back to the AP poll like before and be done with it.
"...were strong, reliable, and equipped with multiple safety features". They were owned by careless greed, and that's a disaster-in-waiting no preparation could save them from. Whether they "have to make one last run of the season" or "get fired if they don't overload the ship" - death sailed with them and eventually their luck ran out. Real tragedy, especially when those responsible sit warm and safe on land, ready to send the next group of hopeful young men to their deep graves.
I must say that I do love watching all of your videos on different ships. And what happened to them? And this one is extremely puzzling. Because I come up with the same thing. Other people probably have. Why was there no Distress signal from the wireless person. Put out before the ship disappeared, especially since The wireless thing-in-itself was hooked in not only to the ship's main power but also a backup power generator in itself. I must say.I am just like everyone else.Primarily at a loss for what really happened But as you stated at the end of the video, this was in the so-called Bermuda triangle So there are a lot of disappearances of planes and Ships in that thing and no explanations on any of them I guess this will just be chucked up as one more mystery for the Bermuda triangle.
From the outset of the tale, it sounds like some pirate activity to me. We'll finish watching and see... You state that there's no real reason to believe that the two ships ever crossed paths, but early in the story you mention that the steamer seen by the light ship covered her name plates, refused contact requests, and seemed to be following the Deering. Hmm. I would posit that the two most likely did cross paths.
Wonder how many times the ship's been overloaded. But as it was overloaded at the time it disappeared. I'm putting my money on a rode wave. Don't know if that's the correct spelling of the word... That doesn't leave much of a time for a mayday or any such items floating around. Overloaded planes & boats! Hold serious consequences on the least everyday occurrence or circumstances on it alone.
Good video but dangit the music at the start of the video was so unsettling that I almost stopped watching. Then you had to throw in the creepy bit with the people wearing masks turning to look at the camera.

Could have been, the crews were most likely executed or taken to Soviet lands, who knows what could have happened.
A bit early for communist shenanigans, but I'd think some smugglers/pirates looking to upgrade their boat might be a bit more likely. I like the Soviet angle though, so I'll go with that lol.
I don’t know what the Soviets would have wanted with obsolete sailing ships carrying basically worthless cargo, especially for so much effort and risk

I think the Deering was piracy. I think the Hewitt broke up due to her heavy load and slipped under the sea in the middle of the night.

There is a possibility the Hewitt was hit by a rouge wave perhaps.
Another theory could be considered is that the ship could have encountered and sunk by a rogue wave. Just a thought.
Even an explosion would leave a debris field, right? 🤔
