A quick explanation on what these ships actually were: SS Winfield Scott- A steamship that transported passengers and cargo between Panama and California during the California Gold Rush. It crashed off Middle Acanapa Island and sank with no casualties. Mary Rose- A Tudor-era carrack. Sank during the Battle of the Solent, apparently when she heeled too far and her open gunports were dunked in the ocean. Her wreck has been raised and is currently in a museum. Ray of Hope- a freighter sunk purposefully as an artificial reef. A nice diving site if you're in the area. USS Kittiwake- A submarine rescue ship (meaning a ship that rescues submarines, not a submarine that rescues ships), also sunk as an artificial reef. Dokos Shipwreck- A shipwreck site off the island of Dokos, presumed to be a sunken Ancient Greek trader. The ship isn't actually there any more, having rotted away, but its cargo remained. RMS Rhone- a steam/sail cargo and passenger ship that sunk due to a hurricane in the Caribbean. Superior Producer- A costal cargo ship and one of the best-known diving sites in Curacao. She sank in rough seas due to being overloaded, though the crew abandoned ship safely. SS Thistlegorm- An armed cargo steamship sunk in the Red Sea by German aircraft. Vasa- A Swedish Ship of the Line. Sunk a few minutes into her maiden voyage due to being poorly balanced. Was raised and is now a museum, much like the Mary Rose. SS Yongala- a cargo and passenger freighter that sank off Bowling Green, Australia, in a cyclone. She was lost with all hands, and no one realized she'd sunk until debris started to wash up on shore. SS Umbria- Italian cargo ship caught carrying war contraband and scuttled by the British. U-352- German submarine sunk while on patrol off the coast of South Carolina by depth charge from the coast guard cutter Icarus. Sea Tiger- A Chinese-owned vessel confiscated by the US Coast Guard when it was found to be carrying illegal immigrants, and later sunk as an artificial reef off Oahu. Costa Concordia- a cruise ship that ran aground and tipped over. Big news story when it happened. Kronprinz Wilhelm- A WW1 German battleship, scuttled in Scapa Flow after the end of the war. RMS Empress of Ireland- A Scottish passenger liner that sunk following a collision with a collier in a heavy fog. USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenburg- US Navy transport sunk as an artificial reef. Bristol Blenheim Bomber- Not technically a shipwreck. This is actually a crashed Bristol Blenheim, a British light bomber plane of early WW2, off Malta. Wilhelm Gustloff- German military transport sunk by a Soviet submarine while evacuating civilians. Nippo Maru- Japanese freighter turned munitions transport that sank after being bombed in WW2. If you want the Nippon Maru with an extra N, she's a museum ship. Black Jack B-17 Bomber- Another crashed aircraft, this one at Papa New Guinea. USS Saratoga CV-3 - An aircraft carrier converted out of an unfinished battlecruiser. Saratoga survived the war and was sank by an atomic bomb as part of the Operation Crossroads teets. SS Andrea Doria- An Italian passenger liner that collided with another liner off Massachusetts and sank, though most of the passengers and crew survived due to good handling of the disaster. MS Estonia- A cruise ferry that sank in the Baltic Sea, apparently because the bow door failed under waves pounding it. RMS Republic- A White Star Liner that collided with the SS Florida in heavy fog. The ship was equipped with wireless, and its distress call saved all of the passengers and crew except the six who died in the collision. RMS Lusitania- A Cunard liner sunk off Ireland by a German U-boat due to her use as a munitions transport vessel. As she was not armed and was carrying a load of passengers when she was sunk, nobody bought the Germans' claims and it was a significant factor in the United States joining the war later. For the record- yes, she was absolutely carrying munitions, which is a bit of a problem for salvage efforts. HMHS Britannic- Titanic's younger sister, co-opted by the Royal Navy and turned into a hospital ship, later being sunk by a mine. RMS Carpathia- A Cunard liner famous for coming to the rescue in the aftermath of the Titanic's sinking. It was later turned over to the Royal Navy and used as a troop transport and armed merchant cruiser. being torpedoed while escorting a convoy by a German U-Boat, though most of the people onboard were able to leave safely. Yolanda- A Cypriot cargo ship that grounded on a reef. It's so deep nowadays because it actually fell off the reef in a storm and had to be re-discovered. Yamato- A massive battleship belonging to Imperial Japan, sunk during Operation Ten-Go (Yamato was to beach off Okinawa and act as gunfire support for the island) by as many American aircraft as would fit in the sky. Dona Paz- A Philippine passenger ferry that sank following a collision with an oil tanker. Her loss is the world's deadliest peacetime maritime disaster. USS Independence (CVL-22)- A light aircraft carrier converted from a light cruiser, serving the USN. She survived Operation Crossroads, but was later scuttled off the Farallon Islands. SS Robert E. Lee- Passenger steamship torpedoed by a U-Boat on its way to New Orleans. K-278 Komsomolets- A Soviet nuclear attack submarine that sank off Norway due to a fire onboard. USS Thresher (SSN-593)- A USN nuclear submarine that sank during deep diving tests. SS La Bourgogne- A French passenger liner that sunk during a collision with a sailing ship during a heavy fog. USS Scorpion (SSN-589) - A US nuclear submarine. Lost with all hands and no one knows exactly why, being one of four mysterious submarine disappearances in that year. RMS Titanic- A White Star Liner that rather famously struck an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic and was lost with a good chunk of her passengers and crew. K-8 Project 627A- A Soviet nuclear submarine that sank due to onboard fires in the Bay of Biscay. KMS Bismarck- A German battleship that sortied to attack Atlantic convoys, sunk HMS Hood, and was then chased and sunk by pretty much the entire Royal Navy for destroying their flagship. K-129- A Soviet submarine that vanished after setting off on a patrol from the Kamchatka Peninsula, in the same year as the Scorpion's loss. It might have been something with her batteries, human failure, or she might have collided with the USS Swordfish, another submarine that collided with something (officially ice) and broke its periscope. USS America (CV-66)- A USN supercarrier used in weapons tests. USS Indianapolis- A USN heavy cruiser that was sunk by a Japanese submarine after returning from a mission to deliver critical components for the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima. SS Rio Grande- A German blockade runner sunk by USN destroyers. Held the title of deepest shipwreck in the world until shipwrecks from the Battle off Samar (which took place over the Philippine Trench) were discovered. USS Johnston- A USN destroyer sunk during the Battle Off Samar after seeing away a force whose largest gun turrets outweighed the Johnston in its entirety. Deepest shipwreck in the world until Samuel B. Roberts, a destroyer escort sunk in the same battle, was discovered.
Strange how a few miles can be so creepy. Even the deepest shipwreck would be within walking distance across land. The same distance underwater is practically another world.
@@arbjful the johnston wreck was discovered in 2021. It sank at near the deepest part of the Marianas trench. The deepest place on earth. The legend of the Johnston. Please research the USS Johnston and Taffy 3 of Task Force 34 in The Battle Of Leyte Gulf. Great history
lol i never thought of it that way, i always thought that the depths of the ocean is deep enough you can completely submerge the skyscrapers of New York or even the Burj Khalifa if you place them in the bottom, but yea that is practically walking distance if you look at it horizontally
Glad I wasn’t the only one. I’m laying in bed, it’s dark and this is giving me anxiety. Like those people really went down there in that see of water and died trying to see the titanic. Not to mention all the other bodies and souls that got trapped on all the other ships to sink to the bottom of the ocean floor. That’s not even the deepest part of the ocean.
It always amazes me how some of these ships, including Titanic, were considered some of the largest man made object on earth… and how small and insignificant they are in comparison to the depth of our own oceans.
Even more so compared to their size. The width of the Atlantic ocean itself is in places almost thousand times the depth of the deepest wreck in this video.
Which is why people think little of it when we fill it full of junk. Also, there the "out of sight, out of mind" philosophy. That's not counting all the shells and shrapnel form all the world wars.
@@ionymous6733 it's absolutely available and accurate. most (if not all) of these ships have been extensively surveyed, photographed, video'd, etc. it's easy to find online, especially for the more famous ones like the Titanic. There are even 3D rendered models of a lot of them.
@@thanakritk.2668 But imagine all the unrecorded sinkings that could possibly lay in unexplored or possibly even DEEPER areas than our technology has found. I find the ocean the most fascinating, even more than space. We know near nothing of our waters, or what we could find. All the ships that have possibly broken into a crevice or unexplored lake. With all exploration awhile back, who knows where ships in Danny Jones’ locker lay… Fascinating 🤩
Depends on the depth. the hull implodes when you reach what's known as the "crush depth" for that particular hull, and the implosion of water pretty much just turns your body to pulp in an instant.
@@BlackEpyon I don´t think the body turns into pulp. Pressure only affects what can be compressed - gases. Lungs will definitely be destroyed, but for example a leg will remain in it´s normal shape since there are no gases in our legs, really. Of course, I might be wrong, but I think that´s roughly how it works.
@@janlansky4672 There's still dissolved gases in your bloodstream, and gasses compress, but it's not like "the bends" since were not talking about rapid decompression. But mainly, there's the implosion itself, like sitting next to an exploding bomb, except instead of hot expanding gasses and shrapnel, it's cold rushing water and shrapnel at similar pressures. It doesn't take that much pressure to rip the body apart when it's applied unequally.
@@BlackEpyon Ok, I didn´t take the effects of the implosion into account. In that case you are probably right. My point was just that compression won´t make a blobfish out of you.
When it zoomed out from Titanic and began going deeper my heart rate sky rocketed, it's absolutely terrifying thinking of the dept that some of these vessels rest at.
I find it amazing that a modern cruise ship can ground and roll in that Depth of water!! Then Looking back in history.. ship's and crew that have died in lesser Depth water that's all 🤔
"Having seen the depth that the USS Johnston reached, it can only be concluded that Captain Evans, after engaging submarine mode to fight the Japanese battleships, thereafter went on to drag his ship to hell to fight the Devil himself." - A paraphrase of a comment I saw on the battle off of Samar, where the USS Johnston was sunk
The USS Johnston fought like a battleship, it's truly an amazing story. All those ships had a tragic ending and represent the fate of thousands of lives.
The mariana trench is 36,000 ish feet deep at its deepest point or seven miles. Which is basically two miles deeper than Mount Everest is tall. From sea level.
They got Titanic and Britannic but did you know about the Olympic. The three were sister ships and were exactly alike. as a matter of fact, Olympic had Captain Smith at the controls with Ismay and Andrews were guests on its maiden voyage to New York. The ship even had an accident where it hit a smaller ship and the paint was chipped in the same way that the iceberg hit the Titanic. (foreshadowing much)🤔 It was scrapped after it outlived its usefulness though; it didn't sink.
I never had a feel for how deep the ocean can be - the numbers never translated in my brain- but this really helps- it is awe inspiring to realize just how HUGE it really is.
You can place the entirety of Mount Everest upside down, and it still wouldn’t reach the deepest part of the ocean. I think an accurate visual comparison of the avg depth would be looking down at the ground at max altitude from a commercial airplane.
And to think that the deepest shipwrecks shown in this video were only halfway of the depth of the ocean's deepest point, the Challenger Deep (11.000 meters). It's insane, literally the cruising altitude of intercontinental flights.
@not available I've always wondered if there are wrecked ships or aircraft on the bottom at Challenger Deep--the 1944 Battle of the Philippine Sea in World War II was fought near there.
He finds or designs 3D models and then puts them in a render to scale. Really not much effort required. The computer can do most, if not all, of the scaling. Watch a few tutorials and I bet anyone reading this could do it.
@@billmalec you are wrong it's actually apperciate . Btw when I was writing apperciate it automatically changed to appreciate the wrong spelling that you used I still couldn't figure out how that happened though
@@JohnS-il1dr not sure about Titanic, but the Lusitania was supposed to be carrying munitions, the Germans had earlier declared that any ship suspected of carrying munitions/soldiers in support of the war would be sunk, another theory is that the munitions on board exploded, thus sinking the ship. Britain capitalized on this and got the Americans too fight their war, which until then they were neutral.
@@JohnS-il1dr Ballard was tasked with finding those two submarine wrecks of the Thresher and Scorpion, in secret, of course, to avoid tipping off the Soviets. He accepted on condition that he'd be able to use the equipment afterwards to search for the Titanic, and the Navy agreed to extend them. Ballard served with the Navy at the time.
There is something deeply unsettling about shipwrecks. Being trapped underneath the water like that Is quite disturbing, and unlike a car or plane crash your death will almost always be slow. But good video, provides good perspective
As a scuba diver I can confidently say that RMS Empress of Ireland is the last ship on this list that recreational divers can explore before reaching the recreational dive limit.
Seeing the depth of the bottom of the Cost Concordia and how much was still above water just reinforces how MASSIVE that ship, and so many modern ships was/are!
The Johnston is now no longer the deepest shipwreck ever found. The USS Samuel B Roberts, another Samar victim has been found this week at a depth of 6895 Meters (22,621 Feet). No complete wreck images have been published yet, but she's in remarkable condition besides being broken in two.
I always forget just how big cruise ships are now. But then you see the Costa Concordia almost 40m deep with a third still sticking out of the water and you're reminded that it's mind bogglingly huge.
True, but they cant be compared to Ocean Liners like Titanic, which were built to cross the unforgiving environments of Atlantic. Modern cruisers are just a floating hotel that travels coast by coast.
@@zainahmed5320 i must agree. I doubt that these modern ocean liners can take whatever the nature has to give. Also, i am more amazed of the elegance of the historical ships, while the present ones are like carnivals forced to afloat
@@zainahmed5320 you couldn't be more wrong. There is multiple trans-Atlantic, trans-Pacific and global sailings with today's cruise ships on a routine basis.
It's chilling to think about all the vast wrecks littering the ocean floor, many of them so deep that they haven't been seen by people directly since they went under the waves
I love documentaries on shipwrecks. That being said, the pullback at the end where you have the depth of the ocean in relation to the height of the city is breathtaking. It shows us how truly small we are.
Until the International Geophysical Year, nobody really knew what the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean was like. The maps that came out put to rest the idea of building a railway from New York to Paris and explained anomalies discovered during the laying of transatlantic cables. Today, the Great Indian Ocean remains largely unknown.
2:30 HMHS Britannic is the younger sister of Titanic, sunk by a naval mine in 1916 during WWI in the Aegean Sea while being used as a hospital ship, and the largest ship lost in the war.
2:40 I love how all of these ships together have a relationship to the titanic Lusitania-Titanic’s Rival Britannic-Titanic’s sister Carpathia-Titanic’s savior
Funny thing is that final depth is still only a little over halfway to the deepest part of the ocean. There's still 3 full miles left to go, that's kinda mind boggling when you think about it.
Right, but the average depth is much shallower, relatively. It’s only some spots that go excessively deep, just as there’s only some spots with elevation over 2-3 km up. Overall Earth has a pretty flat surface, all things considered.
Except the Tresher and probs other imploded submarines wouldn't like that intact at all. But I get it that for the purpose of this video it is better to show them in one piece.
Ngl, I put this video on to help me sleep sometimes. Even though it’s shipwrecks and comparing how deep they are, it brings me comfort, thank you for making this
@@TheShaddix I think about that whenever I'm in places that used to be underwater and now just house some town or city. There are a few maps you can find online that show you what parts of Earth were under water.
If it's any consolation, our planet is just floating in an absurdly large dark hostile void that makes our ocean look like a molecule. The only thing keeping it away from us is just some natural greenhouse gases and gravity. Crap. I just made things worse. I'll sit back down.
@@DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACYdid you see the state of it today? Now vs 1996 footage, my god. There will barely be a titanic in our children's lives and the movie will be over 50 years old, they would see it as a classic the same way we see black and white movies
My gosh, so incredibly well done. Gave me chills. I had no idea that the RMS Titanic sank into another world. I also never knew the RMS Lusitania was in such shallow water. Outstanding video.
As someone who lives fairly close to the Outer Banks, which is considered the “graveyard of the Atlantic,” I’ve always been fascinated by shipwrecks. Last time I was down there, I managed to get a helicopter tour of the area and had several shipwrecks that were adjacent to the shoreline pointed out to me. In one area, there’s at least three shipwrecks situated next to one another in a triangular shape, all three of which are close enough to shore that, if you’re a strong enough swimmer, you can swim out to them. However, the wrecks that most interest me down in that region are that of the USS Monitor and those of merchant vessels, patrol craft, and U-boats sunk during the Second World War. For instance, on Ocracoke Island, there’s a “British cemetery” where four crewmen of the HMT Bedfordshire were buried after their bodies were discovered washed up on the shore of the island and subsequently buried.
Have you been to the Mariner's Museum in Virginia? It has the Monitor's turret being preserved, a ton of naval relics, and a full scale deck of either the Monitor or Virginia, haven't been there in a while so I don't remember. It's a really cool museum, I would definitely recommend taking a trip there.
I like the accuracy of how the ships landed on the sea floor, as well as the detail of them, the end comparison of the city compared to the deepest wreck is a very good example of just how big the ocean really is, some people can't comprehend that.
@@yoda8569 You can't ruin a joke that was never funny. The fact that every loser who thinks that they're being original and funny tells it every time the subject of the Titanic comes up just makes it even more cringe worthy.
The USS Johnston actually sank relatively close off the cost of the Philippines. Problem was, it sank right into Philippine Trench Edit: The USS Johnston was the deepest shipwreck ever surveyed until the USS Samuel B. Roberts, another casualty of The Battle off Samar, was found in the Philippine Trench on June 22, 2022 at a depth of 22,621 ft.
At 2:17 The MS Estonia had military vehicles and equipment onboard as well as civilians. The Estonian government did not allow any bodies on board to be recovered some say it's hiding military secrets onboard and this is the reason why it was forbidden.
Im in a single story house, looking at the scale at the end of the video im just imagining my house at the deepest depths and i obviously can't fully comprehend but Holy shit!
It was widely reported that it was the deepest recorded wreck found to date. It is fitting, considering the story of the ship. It's also welcome; the illegal salvagers almost certainly can't reach her.
The video left out one HUGE shipwreck though: USS Yorktown (CV-5), sunk during the Battle of Midway. Dr. Robert Ballard found her at like 17,000 ft, even deeper than Titanic OR Bismarck. I think 1-2 of the Japanese carriers have also been located very recently.
Wow this is really cool. Shipwrecks are so fascinatingly scary. The scale and the depth is truly anxiety inducing. The distance some of the ships had to travel to the ocean floor. It's surprising they aren't completely obliterated.
The SS Thistlegorm was carrying lots of cargo. Out of that cargo, there were two LMS Stainer Class 8f. These locomotives are still underwater to this very day.
Don't you just love how you're about to take in the entire view for perspective and you tube puts up "the next video" ad block right in the way, taking up close to 1/3 of the page? just great.... Wonderful video by the way and thanks for creating it.
The steep rocky abysses and increasing darkness are really scary. At 4:10, my suspense was growing... but I didn't expect the nice close-up to Titanic. Well done!
2:34 HMHS Britannic is one of Titanic's sister ships. This is the reason why they look like identitcal twins. Even the interiors are identical. The shipwreck is also just shallow enough to be explored by divers.
The USS Johnston was the deepest ship wreck I knew about. I wasn't sure it would make the list since it was "just" a destroyer. The Johnston was one of 3 tiny Destroyers with no armor that fought off 4 mighty Japanese battle ships (Including Yamato biggest Battle Ship of all time) and 6 Cruisers during the Battle of Samar. Here is the insane David vs Goliath story as told by Drachinfel. th-cam.com/video/4AdcvDiA3lE/w-d-xo.html
It is also, apart from being pretty fragmented, in very good shape down there. There are pictures of it with some of its guns looking like they just need to be brushed off and repainted and they would be as good as new.
I was hoping the Edmund Fitzgerald was going to be on the list. It's the Deepest Freshwater shipwreck I know of and 30 feet deeper than RMS Carpathia at 530 ft.
This is one of my favorite videos and content creators. I love the visual understanding here as well as the imagery of the sunken ships themselves. The further in depth however, the sense of eerieness does begin to overwhelm.
There's so many now sunken ships than we know the back stories to, I did learn about a few more today that are on thus list. Again, beautiful melody to a somber truth. Thank you 💐🏆⚓️🔥
4:20 I like how titanic gets its own moment as it hogs the video for a couple seconds then we continue nice touch the ship of dreams deserves its respect
The people always talk about the Titanic and that she "deserves special attention" in a video.... Why? People have died on each ship and while the Titanic is a "well known" shipwreck, its not the biggest and not the deadliest. Almost noone is talking about the Wilhelm Gustloff. She was used to evacuate people from germanys east, in fear of the russians. She was sunk by a russian sub. over 10.000 people died that night.
@@thomasnieswandt8805I know all of this info but the titanic was a famous ship so called *biggest ship of its time * brought alot of fame and the fact we found where she is and know how she sank we still got people learning titanic so titanic is really a place in alot of peoples heart but still titanic will be the most famous ship we even have a titanic 2 being built we know all of this and should let other ships take the spot light but titanic will be in everyone’s heart for a long time
The distance between the two parts of the Titanic surprises me, I knew there was a lot of difference but I calculated 100 meters or 300 mts at most, nothing like that, it's 600mts...
It's amazing how forgotten and overlooked the Empress of Ireland sinking was. More than 1,000 people died, and considering it was only carrying 1,400 people on that trip (it's capacity was higher though, it wasn't full), this gives it a higher death rate than the Titanic, having happened only 2 years after. I was glad to see you included it on the video and disappointed to see no one in the comments section mentions it.
A YT video of her sinking - actual time - came across my feed.. excellent editing - wish I could find the link. She sank in 14 minutes after the collision - Amazing to watch the vid - 14 min - and imagine that's all the time the crew had to get several life boats in the water - they were able to save some.
Absolutely horrendous, but I think it’s definitely due to how famous the Titanic was before she sank. She also vastly overshadows her sister ship, the Britannic, which is easily one of the most horrifying sinking stories in history. Though obviously nowhere near as fatal; sources say between 30 and 50 people died, the horror of their deaths, and for those who nearly shared their fate would have been awful. After the ship was doomed, the captain decided to try to beach it and ordered everyone to board the lifeboats but not to be set into the water. Unfortunately the ship was listing and some crew feared the worst. Several lifeboats and their passengers were released because of the crew’s fears (they had not yet been ordered to do so). The list meant that one propeller was turning at the surface of the water. Two lifeboats were sucked in and turned into mincemeat. More lifeboats were nearly subjected to the same fate before news reached the captain and he stopped the propellers. Once he judged it safe, he restarted the propellers to attempted to beach the ship again, but the window of opportunity had passed and he resigned the ship to its fate and continued the evacuation. There were a few reasons for this plan, notably that being a hospital ship, evacuation without beaching the ship would mean the loss of supplies to help the sick and injured aboard the ship. There were two survivors who experienced all three disasters faced by each of the Olympic class ships. The first was Violet Jessop, who experienced the Titanic’s sinking and the Olympic’s collision with HMS Hawke. She worked as a nurse aboard the Britannic. Her story is harrowing, as she was aboard one of the lifeboats that were prematurely launched. Her boat was one of the two unlucky ones, and she jumped out to survive. In the bloodied water, she saw half a head float by before she suffered head trauma and was rescued by another lifeboat. She continued to work at sea and lived until 83. The other was Arthur Priest, who had experienced another two sinkings and one additional collision, although he did not get as close to the Britannic’s propellers; his boat was not released prematurely. Unfortunately, he died just before reaching 50 after retiring post-war from being a ship-stoker. He was nicknamed the “unsinkable stoker”. Perhaps his story is only trumped by the RN officer who survived 3 sinkings within an hour as his convoy was destroyed, having scarcely boarded both the two successive ships before each was torpedoed, and he ended up clinging to driftwood. There was another person who was on both the Titanic and Britannic (but not Olympic). He was called Archie Jewell. He was later killed on the Donegal, one of the additional sinkings Priest was lucky to survive. RIP.
I have been fascinated with shipwrecks since I was a kid, and remember reading about the fate of many of the wrecks featured in this video, especially the WWII era ones. This video addresses many of the curiosities that I have, as the scale is hard to imagine when just looking at the numbers in a book. It also explains why so much of our ocean is unmapped. Imagine how flat a tin can would be if it were hanging out with the Bismarck.
If the tin can was open when it sank, it would retain its shape since the pressure is already equalized. If it was sealed when it sank, it wouldn't be for long!
Thank you, that you didn’t forgot the Wilhelm Gustloff, with the largest loss of life in a single ship sinking in history. As I know, my grandfather was as a wounded soldier on board at the Wilhelm Gustloff when it was sunk. He luckily survived WW1 and loathed with this experience of course all kind of war. Everybody is talking about the dramatic story of the Titanic, but nearly nobody knows about the Gustloff.
The sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff by submarine in the Baltic Sea is well known by historians, many argue that it was a war crime, however Germany introduced the doctrine of unrestricted submarine warfare, sadly this was the very tragic result
Navy Sailor here. Done 24 months at sea total so far. Want to say "Fair winds and following seas" to all the shipmates we lost in service to our nation at sea. The same goes for all sailors who perished at sea in service to their nations. Only sailor(edit:Since everyone wants to read into the term sailor, I'll make it all encompassing. Be fisherman, merchant marine, scientific expedition, etc.)the awesome power of the ocean, it is both beautiful and terrifying.
Most who understand the oceans aren't sailors from navies. They're people earning a living on the seas, whether they be fishermen, merchants or dozens of other jobs 👍
@@gst013 I would argue that sailors on fighting ships and the merchant marine are way more experienced in their understanding and respect of the seas overall, the vast majority of jobs at sea are localised and the knowledge is very specific, albeit more detailed. My grandfather was in the Royal Navy all his life he sailed both capes more than once and sailed in every ocean north and south with the exception of the Black Sea and inland "seas", his overall knowledge of the worlds oceans was far greater than a trawlerman that spent most of his time in the North Sea, that isn't to say their respect for the sea wan't the same. To suggest that Naval sailors are the least experienced is to be blunt assinine and simply not true.
"Only sailors" Lmao no. You couldn't *bribe* me to go hang out in the middle of the damn ocean. A billion cubic fucktons of tenebrous black abyss all around you? Screw that, you guys can keep it. I'll stay here 200 miles from the nearest major shoreline where I feel safe and secure, thanks.
Funny thing a lot of people don't know. German Battleship KMS Bismarck actually lies on the slope of a giant undersea mount. She landed about 3/4ths of the way up the mount and then slid down about a third of the way down before she cut across the slope's face to get stuck. So she is actually elevated off the true bottom of the Atlantic Sea Floor.
Another few things people don’t know about KMS Bismarck is that the British technically only crippled HIM they did NOT sink him Bismarck’s crew scuttled him so the Royal Navy couldn’t capture him
It’s strange to see the costa concordia being deeper than some shipwreck but still being half out of the water. I used to do a cruise on the concordia back in 2008 and it was a huge, wonderful ship. My heart cryed when i saw that incident.
I love that you showed how the wreck looks like. Like how the Titanic was split in two or the Costa Condordia being half above the water. It's a pretty small detail but makes the video that much better!
For whatever reason, I always had this thought that RMS Titanic was the deepest shipwreck. Maybe because it's one of the most famous wrecks of all time. Boyoh was I wrong! Thanks for the video and setting me straight!
I thought that for years and never expected any other major ships to beat it. Amazing to see where it fit's in to great shipwreck depths chart. USS Johnston's depth is truly jaw dropping.
As a fan of Sabaton, it blows my mind that the Bismarck actually sank SO deep... The mightiest ship in the whole WW II looks like an insignificant scrap of metal down there. Now I fully understand why their song says _At the bottom of the ocean_ _The depths of the abyss_ _They are bound by iron and blood_
Bismarck: “I’m the mightiest” IJN Yamato: “Are you sure about that?” It always amuses me to see people call the Bismarck the mightiest ship of the war, when the design and construction, and even the guns were inferior to almost every interwar battleship built. It gets credited as “the best” because it destroyed the oldest and most outdated ship in the RN, it’s pretty comedic
"Legend lives on from the Chippewa on down, of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee..." Love these videos but a glaring omission in this one is the Edmond Fitzgerald.
@@plinkitee even still, it is easily the second most famous shipwreck in the world, or at least in North America. It feels like an exception to the ocean wreck rule should have been made.
Something I've always found eerie about the Empress of Ireland was that in the first years after she sank, her funnels and mainmast could still be seen at certain times
Best TH-cam recommendation EVER. This video has everything! You even researched how the wrecks look like in their seabeds, and added an exclusive extra for the other half of the Titanic! Kudos to you!
At 2:17 The MS Estonia had military vehicles and equipment onboard as well as civilians. The Estonian government did not allow any bodies on board to be recovered some say it's hiding military secrets onboard and this is the reason why it was forbidden
2:45 nice placement of the sister ship of RMS Titanic(Britannic) and the ship that came to rescue Titanic's passenger(Carpathia). Also, it blows my mind that there are wrecks that lies deeper than Titanic does today because it really does show just how deep the ocean is at certain points.
Didn’t know the Carpathia sank at all after saving Titanic’s survivors, and I didn’t know the Indianapolis was lower than Brittanic, Yamato, Titanic, and even the Bismarck….whoa. You learn something new every day.
yeah i had to look this up. I guess she was torpedoed by a U-boat 3 times. according to reports the ship probably couldve been towed to harbor after the first 2 torpedoes but the third did massive damage. only 5 crew members lost their lives.
Many said that it was because of the Damage Carpathia inflected upon her own engines rushing to Titanic's aid that she was unable to outrun the German U boat that sent her to the bottom.
From wrecks so shallow that they are a hazard to unwary captains to those that are mind-bogglingly deep, presented in cutaway style for easy comparison, well done and congratulations.
Would have been cool to have shown lastly the depth of the Mariana trench to show that the ocean is still so much deeper even though there is no known shipwrecks there. Great upload regardless.
He has a video with it already, unnecessary to show the trench. The video is about the depth of shipwrecks, not the ocean’s depth. He has a video for that already.
@@Goldfish1060 The point is that you can get a much better idea of exactly how far down the shipwrecks are if you can compare them to how deep the ocean actually goes. It would put it into greater perspective.
I'm glad I found this video. I just saw the real time sinking animation of the titanic and now here's a list of like 69 other ships to look up similar videos of. Content for days!

Sea creature depth comparison when
What about USS Arizona
A quick explanation on what these ships actually were:
SS Winfield Scott- A steamship that transported passengers and cargo between Panama and California during the California Gold Rush. It crashed off Middle Acanapa Island and sank with no casualties.
Mary Rose- A Tudor-era carrack. Sank during the Battle of the Solent, apparently when she heeled too far and her open gunports were dunked in the ocean. Her wreck has been raised and is currently in a museum.
Ray of Hope- a freighter sunk purposefully as an artificial reef. A nice diving site if you're in the area.
USS Kittiwake- A submarine rescue ship (meaning a ship that rescues submarines, not a submarine that rescues ships), also sunk as an artificial reef.
Dokos Shipwreck- A shipwreck site off the island of Dokos, presumed to be a sunken Ancient Greek trader. The ship isn't actually there any more, having rotted away, but its cargo remained.
RMS Rhone- a steam/sail cargo and passenger ship that sunk due to a hurricane in the Caribbean.
Superior Producer- A costal cargo ship and one of the best-known diving sites in Curacao. She sank in rough seas due to being overloaded, though the crew abandoned ship safely.
SS Thistlegorm- An armed cargo steamship sunk in the Red Sea by German aircraft.
Vasa- A Swedish Ship of the Line. Sunk a few minutes into her maiden voyage due to being poorly balanced. Was raised and is now a museum, much like the Mary Rose.
SS Yongala- a cargo and passenger freighter that sank off Bowling Green, Australia, in a cyclone. She was lost with all hands, and no one realized she'd sunk until debris started to wash up on shore.
SS Umbria- Italian cargo ship caught carrying war contraband and scuttled by the British.
U-352- German submarine sunk while on patrol off the coast of South Carolina by depth charge from the coast guard cutter Icarus.
Sea Tiger- A Chinese-owned vessel confiscated by the US Coast Guard when it was found to be carrying illegal immigrants, and later sunk as an artificial reef off Oahu.
Costa Concordia- a cruise ship that ran aground and tipped over. Big news story when it happened.
Kronprinz Wilhelm- A WW1 German battleship, scuttled in Scapa Flow after the end of the war.
RMS Empress of Ireland- A Scottish passenger liner that sunk following a collision with a collier in a heavy fog.
USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenburg- US Navy transport sunk as an artificial reef.
Bristol Blenheim Bomber- Not technically a shipwreck. This is actually a crashed Bristol Blenheim, a British light bomber plane of early WW2, off Malta.
Wilhelm Gustloff- German military transport sunk by a Soviet submarine while evacuating civilians.
Nippo Maru- Japanese freighter turned munitions transport that sank after being bombed in WW2. If you want the Nippon Maru with an extra N, she's a museum ship.
Black Jack B-17 Bomber- Another crashed aircraft, this one at Papa New Guinea.
USS Saratoga CV-3 - An aircraft carrier converted out of an unfinished battlecruiser. Saratoga survived the war and was sank by an atomic bomb as part of the Operation Crossroads teets.
SS Andrea Doria- An Italian passenger liner that collided with another liner off Massachusetts and sank, though most of the passengers and crew survived due to good handling of the disaster.
MS Estonia- A cruise ferry that sank in the Baltic Sea, apparently because the bow door failed under waves pounding it.
RMS Republic- A White Star Liner that collided with the SS Florida in heavy fog. The ship was equipped with wireless, and its distress call saved all of the passengers and crew except the six who died in the collision.
RMS Lusitania- A Cunard liner sunk off Ireland by a German U-boat due to her use as a munitions transport vessel. As she was not armed and was carrying a load of passengers when she was sunk, nobody bought the Germans' claims and it was a significant factor in the United States joining the war later. For the record- yes, she was absolutely carrying munitions, which is a bit of a problem for salvage efforts.
HMHS Britannic- Titanic's younger sister, co-opted by the Royal Navy and turned into a hospital ship, later being sunk by a mine.
RMS Carpathia- A Cunard liner famous for coming to the rescue in the aftermath of the Titanic's sinking. It was later turned over to the Royal Navy and used as a troop transport and armed merchant cruiser. being torpedoed while escorting a convoy by a German U-Boat, though most of the people onboard were able to leave safely.
Yolanda- A Cypriot cargo ship that grounded on a reef. It's so deep nowadays because it actually fell off the reef in a storm and had to be re-discovered.
Yamato- A massive battleship belonging to Imperial Japan, sunk during Operation Ten-Go (Yamato was to beach off Okinawa and act as gunfire support for the island) by as many American aircraft as would fit in the sky.
Dona Paz- A Philippine passenger ferry that sank following a collision with an oil tanker. Her loss is the world's deadliest peacetime maritime disaster.
USS Independence (CVL-22)- A light aircraft carrier converted from a light cruiser, serving the USN. She survived Operation Crossroads, but was later scuttled off the Farallon Islands.
SS Robert E. Lee- Passenger steamship torpedoed by a U-Boat on its way to New Orleans.
K-278 Komsomolets- A Soviet nuclear attack submarine that sank off Norway due to a fire onboard.
USS Thresher (SSN-593)- A USN nuclear submarine that sank during deep diving tests.
SS La Bourgogne- A French passenger liner that sunk during a collision with a sailing ship during a heavy fog.
USS Scorpion (SSN-589) - A US nuclear submarine. Lost with all hands and no one knows exactly why, being one of four mysterious submarine disappearances in that year.
RMS Titanic- A White Star Liner that rather famously struck an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic and was lost with a good chunk of her passengers and crew.
K-8 Project 627A- A Soviet nuclear submarine that sank due to onboard fires in the Bay of Biscay.
KMS Bismarck- A German battleship that sortied to attack Atlantic convoys, sunk HMS Hood, and was then chased and sunk by pretty much the entire Royal Navy for destroying their flagship.
K-129- A Soviet submarine that vanished after setting off on a patrol from the Kamchatka Peninsula, in the same year as the Scorpion's loss. It might have been something with her batteries, human failure, or she might have collided with the USS Swordfish, another submarine that collided with something (officially ice) and broke its periscope.
USS America (CV-66)- A USN supercarrier used in weapons tests.
USS Indianapolis- A USN heavy cruiser that was sunk by a Japanese submarine after returning from a mission to deliver critical components for the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
SS Rio Grande- A German blockade runner sunk by USN destroyers. Held the title of deepest shipwreck in the world until shipwrecks from the Battle off Samar (which took place over the Philippine Trench) were discovered.
USS Johnston- A USN destroyer sunk during the Battle Off Samar after seeing away a force whose largest gun turrets outweighed the Johnston in its entirety. Deepest shipwreck in the world until Samuel B. Roberts, a destroyer escort sunk in the same battle, was discovered.
damn that mustve taken a lot of time to do
Interesting info!! Thank you for doing this!
Oh you tickled my eyes with knowledge. Thank you good sir.
@@Pyrodorah Tickled my eyes 😂 Love it lol!
God bless you sir!
A special feature with both parts of the Titanic was a nice touch
Agreed
Ditto. It's such an amazing wreck
@@anonomis9685 And probably the most famous one.
We need to see recent photos of the stern, I doubt there's much left 😔
Actually I didn't like that part.
Strange how a few miles can be so creepy. Even the deepest shipwreck would be within walking distance across land. The same distance underwater is practically another world.
Like they say we know more about Mars than our own oceans.
There are possibly other ships in deeper Waters.... Who knows what else is lying under the oceans
@@arbjful the johnston wreck was discovered in 2021. It sank at near the deepest part of the Marianas trench. The deepest place on earth.
The legend of the Johnston.
Please research the USS Johnston and Taffy 3 of Task Force 34 in The Battle Of Leyte Gulf. Great history
that is an excellent way of putting it. In a shallow pond the surface of the water covers another world not as dramatic though
lol i never thought of it that way, i always thought that the depths of the ocean is deep enough you can completely submerge the skyscrapers of New York or even the Burj Khalifa if you place them in the bottom, but yea that is practically walking distance if you look at it horizontally
The further it goes, the more anxiety you get!
you are not wrong
True but when a teaspoon of water can kill you, any depth is always dangerous. That being said, I love sailing and my family own two boats.
Speak for yourself
Glad I wasn’t the only one. I’m laying in bed, it’s dark and this is giving me anxiety. Like those people really went down there in that see of water and died trying to see the titanic. Not to mention all the other bodies and souls that got trapped on all the other ships to sink to the bottom of the ocean floor. That’s not even the deepest part of the ocean.
A mi me da paz, me encantaría por un momento estar así de aislado del mundo, a esas grandes profundidades, pero sin ahogarme claro jeje
It always amazes me how some of these ships, including Titanic, were considered some of the largest man made object on earth… and how small and insignificant they are in comparison to the depth of our own oceans.
Even more so compared to their size. The width of the Atlantic ocean itself is in places almost thousand times the depth of the deepest wreck in this video.
Which is why people think little of it when we fill it full of junk. Also, there the "out of sight, out of mind" philosophy. That's not counting all the shells and shrapnel form all the world wars.
yeah wow bro and the sky is bigger than planes thats insane dude
That's deep... If you are a teenager.
@@krane15 There’s only been two world wars lol
The fact that you actually researched how the wrecks look like on the ground is simply remarkable.

@@dantemunoz7050 well, considering how some shipwrecks i know look, probably
It's hard to believe the information is available and accurate. I'd be surprised if it is.
@@ionymous6733 thats why i said that^ either way its an amazing job
@@ionymous6733 it's absolutely available and accurate. most (if not all) of these ships have been extensively surveyed, photographed, video'd, etc. it's easy to find online, especially for the more famous ones like the Titanic. There are even 3D rendered models of a lot of them.
It’s even crazier to think that these are the KNOWN sinkings, exploring only a tiny fraction of our ocean. It’s creepy yet incredibly fascinating…
In my mind of strange trivial information gathering I googled
"how many shipwrecks in human history?"
2 to 3 million.
Insane.
@@patrickmclaughlin61 the fish eat well and have many homes
@ThatMangoGuy AMEN
But most sinking of large ship in past century were recorded
@@thanakritk.2668 But imagine all the unrecorded sinkings that could possibly lay in unexplored or possibly even DEEPER areas than our technology has found.
I find the ocean the most fascinating, even more than space. We know near nothing of our waters, or what we could find. All the ships that have possibly broken into a crevice or unexplored lake.
With all exploration awhile back, who knows where ships in Danny Jones’ locker lay… Fascinating 🤩
I'll never be able to get over the sheer DEPTH of the ocean
It’s considerably deeper than this video shows. Challenger Deep is over 36,000 feet.
@@sdot5389 to think that it surpasses the height of mt everest is just fking insane!
only 2 of them get to challenger deep
What about GJ1214b?
And yet, the Earth is smoother than a cue ball.
It's even scarier when you realize there were crew members stuck on a lot of these ships as they sunk.
Like imagine being stuck in an air tight chamber thinking you can still get out but are already 300ft under water.
Depends on the depth. the hull implodes when you reach what's known as the "crush depth" for that particular hull, and the implosion of water pretty much just turns your body to pulp in an instant.
@@BlackEpyon I don´t think the body turns into pulp. Pressure only affects what can be compressed - gases. Lungs will definitely be destroyed, but for example a leg will remain in it´s normal shape since there are no gases in our legs, really. Of course, I might be wrong, but I think that´s roughly how it works.
@@janlansky4672 There's still dissolved gases in your bloodstream, and gasses compress, but it's not like "the bends" since were not talking about rapid decompression. But mainly, there's the implosion itself, like sitting next to an exploding bomb, except instead of hot expanding gasses and shrapnel, it's cold rushing water and shrapnel at similar pressures. It doesn't take that much pressure to rip the body apart when it's applied unequally.
@@BlackEpyon Ok, I didn´t take the effects of the implosion into account. In that case you are probably right. My point was just that compression won´t make a blobfish out of you.
Utterly amazing how all those ships managed to sink in a straight line next to each other
😂😂
I know. You think they wouldn’t sail them right there.

@@joe_mmamaa Maybe wait a few years before commenting, until your brain is developed enough in order to understand jokes?

Love the comparison with the Costa Concordia. Just shows you how big modern cruise ships have become 👌
Actually, that part of the video is wrong. She’s too big.
Eeeee
5:23 uss Indianapolis sank in the 1940s and killed 880 people and that ship wreck is sank in water deeper then titanic.
I was just thinking, wasn't the Costa Concordia, finally turned upright, pulled to a scrap yard and then sold for scrap?
I find it amazing that a modern cruise ship can ground and roll in that Depth of water!! Then Looking back in history.. ship's and crew that have died in lesser Depth water that's all 🤔
"Having seen the depth that the USS Johnston reached, it can only be concluded that Captain Evans, after engaging submarine mode to fight the Japanese battleships, thereafter went on to drag his ship to hell to fight the Devil himself." - A paraphrase of a comment I saw on the battle off of Samar, where the USS Johnston was sunk
I'm not surprised it was in water that deep due to every man on board having brass balls. IIRC, they recently located the *Samuel B. Roberts* as well.
The USS Johnston fought like a battleship, it's truly an amazing story. All those ships had a tragic ending and represent the fate of thousands of lives.
2019 - USS Johnston reportedly discovered.
2020 - Japan announces largest increase in military spending since world war two.
Coincidence?
@@dakotaprojectify Japan is increasingly worried about China- as should all of us.
@@dwood78part23 nah, they are scared that captain Evans will rise up out of the depths to smack them around a second time
Wow. I never genuinely realized that the Titanic and some other ships were *so* deep underwater. It really gives you perspective.
One of the reasons why it was so difficult to find
The mariana trench is 36,000 ish feet deep at its deepest point or seven miles. Which is basically two miles deeper than Mount Everest is tall. From sea level.
They got Titanic and Britannic but did you know about the Olympic. The three were sister ships and were exactly alike. as a matter of fact, Olympic had Captain Smith at the controls with Ismay and Andrews were guests on its maiden voyage to New York. The ship even had an accident where it hit a smaller ship and the paint was chipped in the same way that the iceberg hit the Titanic. (foreshadowing much)🤔 It was scrapped after it outlived its usefulness though; it didn't sink.
@@dianejackson7601 Why bring that up?
@@Dan0RG they were just saying? why do they need a reason
It's crazy how these ships all sunk so close together.
😂
Hahaha🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Is this the Bermuda Triangle of which they speak?!
In a straight line too
I never had a feel for how deep the ocean can be - the numbers never translated in my brain- but this really helps- it is awe inspiring to realize just how HUGE it really is.
You can place the entirety of Mount Everest upside down, and it still wouldn’t reach the deepest part of the ocean. I think an accurate visual comparison of the avg depth would be looking down at the ground at max altitude from a commercial airplane.
The ocean is deep.
Seriously I don’t even think a shipwreck ever found is that deep.
Me fascina y a la vez me da miedito ja
And to think that the deepest shipwrecks shown in this video were only halfway of the depth of the ocean's deepest point, the Challenger Deep (11.000 meters). It's insane, literally the cruising altitude of intercontinental flights.
@not available I've always wondered if there are wrecked ships or aircraft on the bottom at Challenger Deep--the 1944 Battle of the Philippine Sea in World War II was fought near there.

The Titanic is in fairly shallow water compared to what's laying much lower
There is an article online that says that the Titanic was found with the same procedure used to find Thresher and Scorpion. Fascinating reading!
The titanic was actually a convenient cover story for the primary mission which was kept hush hush for years.
@@mstevens113 what was the primary mission? Military related?
@@JohnS-il1dr not sure about Titanic, but the Lusitania was supposed to be carrying munitions, the Germans had earlier declared that any ship suspected of carrying munitions/soldiers in support of the war would be sunk, another theory is that the munitions on board exploded, thus sinking the ship. Britain capitalized on this and got the Americans too fight their war, which until then they were neutral.
@@JohnS-il1dr Ballard was tasked with finding those two submarine wrecks of the Thresher and Scorpion, in secret, of course, to avoid tipping off the Soviets. He accepted on condition that he'd be able to use the equipment afterwards to search for the Titanic, and the Navy agreed to extend them. Ballard served with the Navy at the time.
I really enjoyed this video. I've always had a strange obsession about shipwrecks. This gave me so many new things to research.
this popped on my recommended at the WORST time lmao
There is something deeply unsettling about shipwrecks. Being trapped underneath the water like that Is quite disturbing, and unlike a car or plane crash your death will almost always be slow. But good video, provides good perspective
Привет вы из какой страны?
In cold water you perish relatively quickly. Still terrifying to turn over in the mind.
@@slofty Yeah exactly, however in warmer water your fate can depend on more factors. Especially if there are lifeboats.
I always find shipwrecks really interesting, to wonder about the history behind them and how they sunk
people have most likely been trapped in those ships while they were sinking which is even worse
1:16 Such a shock to see those ships that are well and truly sunk, and then the Costa Concordia comes along and it isn't even fully under.

Wonderful, delightful comment ,full of respect for those on the ships, one of the best I have ever read, so simple and yet said so much about you.
And looking up each as you go..
Seeing the depth of the bottom of the Cost Concordia and how much was still above water just reinforces how MASSIVE that ship, and so many modern ships was/are!
The Johnston is now no longer the deepest shipwreck ever found. The USS Samuel B Roberts, another Samar victim has been found this week at a depth of 6895 Meters (22,621 Feet). No complete wreck images have been published yet, but she's in remarkable condition besides being broken in two.
Good thing you said,l wonder if he can add this wreck after Johnston!

Exactly, we are like ants, or Bacteries.very small.👋😀
Until the International Geophysical Year, nobody really knew what the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean was like. The maps that came out put to rest the idea of building a railway from New York to Paris and explained anomalies discovered during the laying of transatlantic cables.

Funny thing is that final depth is still only a little over halfway to the deepest part of the ocean. There's still 3 full miles left to go, that's kinda mind boggling when you think about it.
Indeed it is. I would be scared to dive even to to the deepest man made pool in the world, let alone think how deep the ocean can be
Right, but the average depth is much shallower, relatively. It’s only some spots that go excessively deep, just as there’s only some spots with elevation over 2-3 km up. Overall Earth has a pretty flat surface, all things considered.
And James Cameron reached that point.
3 what? You mean 4 kilometres and a half, don't you? ;)
Deepest point is 12.000 meters.
A round of applause for how WELL they rendered the wrecks! Good job on the details!
Except the Tresher and probs other imploded submarines wouldn't like that intact at all. But I get it that for the purpose of this video it is better to show them in one piece.
this is top tier content. you even included the other half of the titanic, too. and its so well made
Just as a note, the Vasa was recovered in the 1960s.
So she was at 32m, now she has her own museum in Stockholm

My gosh, so incredibly well done. Gave me chills. I had no idea that the RMS Titanic sank into another world. I also never knew the RMS Lusitania was in such shallow water. Outstanding video.
As someone who lives fairly close to the Outer Banks, which is considered the “graveyard of the Atlantic,” I’ve always been fascinated by shipwrecks. Last time I was down there, I managed to get a helicopter tour of the area and had several shipwrecks that were adjacent to the shoreline pointed out to me. In one area, there’s at least three shipwrecks situated next to one another in a triangular shape, all three of which are close enough to shore that, if you’re a strong enough swimmer, you can swim out to them.
However, the wrecks that most interest me down in that region are that of the USS Monitor and those of merchant vessels, patrol craft, and U-boats sunk during the Second World War. For instance, on Ocracoke Island, there’s a “British cemetery” where four crewmen of the HMT Bedfordshire were buried after their bodies were discovered washed up on the shore of the island and subsequently buried.
Have you been to the Mariner's Museum in Virginia? It has the Monitor's turret being preserved, a ton of naval relics, and a full scale deck of either the Monitor or Virginia, haven't been there in a while so I don't remember. It's a really cool museum, I would definitely recommend taking a trip there.

Unarguably
@@footbread it's definitely because the titanic wreck is composed of 2 shipwrecks.
It’s crazy that all these shipwrecks happened in a straight line like this. Maybe shipping routes should avoid this area!

The USS Johnston actually sank relatively close off the cost of the Philippines. Problem was, it sank right into Philippine Trench
Edit: The USS Johnston was the deepest shipwreck ever surveyed until the USS Samuel B. Roberts, another casualty of The Battle off Samar, was found in the Philippine Trench on June 22, 2022 at a depth of 22,621 ft.

The MS Estonia had military vehicles and equipment onboard as well as civilians.
The Estonian government did not allow any bodies on board to be recovered some say it's hiding military secrets onboard and this is the reason why it was forbidden.
Im in a single story house, looking at the scale at the end of the video im just imagining my house at the deepest depths and i obviously can't fully comprehend but Holy shit!
It made me nauseous, deep water terrifies me.
The Johnston continues to impress even after it's death, that little destroyer rose so high before being sunk so deep.
technically, it should only be a few feet under the waves due to the size of it's MASSIVE BALLS resting on the ocean floor.
It wasn't a destroyer, it was some sort of ultrafast battleship, without a doubt ;-)

Curious detail: the deepest shipwreck (USS Johnston) was discovered just 9 months before this video was published
It was widely reported that it was the deepest recorded wreck found to date. It is fitting, considering the story of the ship. It's also welcome; the illegal salvagers almost certainly can't reach her.
I have a feeling that news is the catalyst that led to the creation of this video.
The video left out one HUGE shipwreck though: USS Yorktown (CV-5), sunk during the Battle of Midway. Dr. Robert Ballard found her at like 17,000 ft, even deeper than Titanic OR Bismarck. I think 1-2 of the Japanese carriers have also been located very recently.

@@thunderbird1921 Yes! IJN Hiryu and Kaga I believe have been located off the Island of Midway in recent days.
Nice job. Fantastic video!!!👏
Fact: USS Johnston is one of the best preserved shipwrecks ever as well as one of the most intact ones
That makes sense. Due to the cold, dark, probably anoxic environment it ended up in, corrosion would be incredibly slow.
Going off the pictures, looks like it just sunk a year ago.
The bow is, the stern is shattered.
While well preserved, USS Johnston was shot to pieces before sinking. It has a fair sized debris field around it.
isn't the bismarck also one of the best preserved shipwrecks
Wow this is really cool. Shipwrecks are so fascinatingly scary. The scale and the depth is truly anxiety inducing. The distance some of the ships had to travel to the ocean floor. It's surprising they aren't completely obliterated.
The SS Thistlegorm was carrying lots of cargo. Out of that cargo, there were two LMS Stainer Class 8f. These locomotives are still underwater to this very day.

2:34 HMHS Britannic is one of Titanic's sister ships. This is the reason why they look like identitcal twins. Even the interiors are identical. The shipwreck is also just shallow enough to be explored by divers.
Yep
Sat divers i hope
Yuppp
@JHol Bat dunno where you heard that info from but it is incorrect
they say the Britannic is the largest passenger wreck on the ocean floor
The USS Johnston was the deepest ship wreck I knew about. I wasn't sure it would make the list since it was "just" a destroyer. The Johnston was one of 3 tiny Destroyers with no armor that fought off 4 mighty Japanese battle ships (Including Yamato biggest Battle Ship of all time) and 6 Cruisers during the Battle of Samar. Here is the insane David vs Goliath story as told by Drachinfel. th-cam.com/video/4AdcvDiA3lE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for your appreciation towards this!
It is also, apart from being pretty fragmented, in very good shape down there. There are pictures of it with some of its guns looking like they just need to be brushed off and repainted and they would be as good as new.
Thanks man 🦾
The whole last battle is really epic.
What´s the program you use to make this 3D animation?
It’s hard to see any video on YT without the most famous ship ever to exist being mentioned.

I was hoping the Edmund Fitzgerald was going to be on the list. It's the Deepest Freshwater shipwreck I know of and 30 feet deeper than RMS Carpathia at 530 ft.
Totally. Was sad it was not included. :(

@@jlt131 yes, completely ruins the payoff. I wonder if content creators even watch the stuff they upload
This is one of my favorite videos and content creators. I love the visual understanding here as well as the imagery of the sunken ships themselves. The further in depth however, the sense of eerieness does begin to overwhelm.
There's so many now sunken ships than we know the back stories to, I did learn about a few more today that are on thus list. Again, beautiful melody to a somber truth. Thank you 💐🏆⚓️🔥
4:20 I like how titanic gets its own moment as it hogs the video for a couple seconds then we continue nice touch the ship of dreams deserves its respect
The people always talk about the Titanic and that she "deserves special attention" in a video.... Why?
People have died on each ship and while the Titanic is a "well known" shipwreck, its not the biggest and not the deadliest.
Almost noone is talking about the Wilhelm Gustloff. She was used to evacuate people from germanys east, in fear of the russians. She was sunk by a russian sub. over 10.000 people died that night.
@@thomasnieswandt8805I know all of this info but the titanic was a famous ship so called *biggest ship of its time * brought alot of fame and the fact we found where she is and know how she sank we still got people learning titanic so titanic is really a place in alot of peoples heart but still titanic will be the most famous ship we even have a titanic 2 being built we know all of this and should let other ships take the spot light but titanic will be in everyone’s heart for a long time
Its the Olympia tho
I mean It could have also been to accurately represent the two halves
The distance between the two parts of the Titanic surprises me, I knew there was a lot of difference but I calculated 100 meters or 300 mts at most, nothing like that, it's 600mts...
It's amazing how forgotten and overlooked the Empress of Ireland sinking was. More than 1,000 people died, and considering it was only carrying 1,400 people on that trip (it's capacity was higher though, it wasn't full), this gives it a higher death rate than the Titanic, having happened only 2 years after.
I was glad to see you included it on the video and disappointed to see no one in the comments section mentions it.
Happening so close to ww1 is probably why it got pushed aside.
You dive down to the empress but not the fitz
A YT video of her sinking - actual time - came across my feed.. excellent editing - wish I could find the link.
She sank in 14 minutes after the collision -
Amazing to watch the vid - 14 min - and imagine that's all the time the crew had to get several life boats in the water - they were able to save some.
@@IamChevalier blue star line yt channel
Absolutely horrendous, but I think it’s definitely due to how famous the Titanic was before she sank. She also vastly overshadows her sister ship, the Britannic, which is easily one of the most horrifying sinking stories in history.
Though obviously nowhere near as fatal; sources say between 30 and 50 people died, the horror of their deaths, and for those who nearly shared their fate would have been awful.
After the ship was doomed, the captain decided to try to beach it and ordered everyone to board the lifeboats but not to be set into the water. Unfortunately the ship was listing and some crew feared the worst. Several lifeboats and their passengers were released because of the crew’s fears (they had not yet been ordered to do so). The list meant that one propeller was turning at the surface of the water. Two lifeboats were sucked in and turned into mincemeat. More lifeboats were nearly subjected to the same fate before news reached the captain and he stopped the propellers. Once he judged it safe, he restarted the propellers to attempted to beach the ship again, but the window of opportunity had passed and he resigned the ship to its fate and continued the evacuation.
There were a few reasons for this plan, notably that being a hospital ship, evacuation without beaching the ship would mean the loss of supplies to help the sick and injured aboard the ship.
There were two survivors who experienced all three disasters faced by each of the Olympic class ships.
The first was Violet Jessop, who experienced the Titanic’s sinking and the Olympic’s collision with HMS Hawke. She worked as a nurse aboard the Britannic. Her story is harrowing, as she was aboard one of the lifeboats that were prematurely launched. Her boat was one of the two unlucky ones, and she jumped out to survive. In the bloodied water, she saw half a head float by before she suffered head trauma and was rescued by another lifeboat.
She continued to work at sea and lived until 83.
The other was Arthur Priest, who had experienced another two sinkings and one additional collision, although he did not get as close to the Britannic’s propellers; his boat was not released prematurely. Unfortunately, he died just before reaching 50 after retiring post-war from being a ship-stoker.
He was nicknamed the “unsinkable stoker”.
Perhaps his story is only trumped by the RN officer who survived 3 sinkings within an hour as his convoy was destroyed, having scarcely boarded both the two successive ships before each was torpedoed, and he ended up clinging to driftwood.
There was another person who was on both the Titanic and Britannic (but not Olympic). He was called Archie Jewell. He was later killed on the Donegal, one of the additional sinkings Priest was lucky to survive.
RIP.
I have been fascinated with shipwrecks since I was a kid, and remember reading about the fate of many of the wrecks featured in this video, especially the WWII era ones. This video addresses many of the curiosities that I have, as the scale is hard to imagine when just looking at the numbers in a book. It also explains why so much of our ocean is unmapped. Imagine how flat a tin can would be if it were hanging out with the Bismarck.
If the tin can was open when it sank, it would retain its shape since the pressure is already equalized. If it was sealed when it sank, it wouldn't be for long!
man, this was made agonizingly close to the discovery of the endurance and the new deepest known wreck, the samuel b. roberts
Thank you, that you didn’t forgot the Wilhelm Gustloff, with the largest loss of life in a single ship sinking in history. As I know, my grandfather was as a wounded soldier on board at the Wilhelm Gustloff when it was sunk. He luckily survived WW1 and loathed with this experience of course all kind of war. Everybody is talking about the dramatic story of the Titanic, but nearly nobody knows about the Gustloff.
MV Wilhelm Gustloff sinking was the worst wartime maritime disaster while MV Doña Paz sinking was the worst peacetime maritime disaster
The sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff by submarine in the Baltic Sea is well known by historians, many argue that it was a war crime, however Germany introduced the doctrine of unrestricted submarine warfare, sadly this was the very tragic result
You mean WWII
@@panzerivausfg4062 no - he survived WW1 and he have to be soldier again as an older man at WW2 where he is missed

Navy Sailor here. Done 24 months at sea total so far. Want to say "Fair winds and following seas" to all the shipmates we lost in service to our nation at sea. The same goes for all sailors who perished at sea in service to their nations. Only sailor(edit:Since everyone wants to read into the term sailor, I'll make it all encompassing. Be fisherman, merchant marine, scientific expedition, etc.)the awesome power of the ocean, it is both beautiful and terrifying.
Most who understand the oceans aren't sailors from navies. They're people earning a living on the seas, whether they be fishermen, merchants or dozens of other jobs 👍
@@gst013 I would argue that sailors on fighting ships and the merchant marine are way more experienced in their understanding and respect of the seas overall, the vast majority of jobs at sea are localised and the knowledge is very specific, albeit more detailed.
My grandfather was in the Royal Navy all his life he sailed both capes more than once and sailed in every ocean north and south with the exception of the Black Sea and inland "seas", his overall knowledge of the worlds oceans was far greater than a trawlerman that spent most of his time in the North Sea, that isn't to say their respect for the sea wan't the same.
To suggest that Naval sailors are the least experienced is to be blunt assinine and simply not true.
"Good luck and fair seas"...
Nature is neither benign, nor hostile. Merely indifferent.
The latter fact is what's terrifying.
"Only sailors"
Lmao no. You couldn't *bribe* me to go hang out in the middle of the damn ocean. A billion cubic fucktons of tenebrous black abyss all around you? Screw that, you guys can keep it. I'll stay here 200 miles from the nearest major shoreline where I feel safe and secure, thanks.
Thank you to including the Britannic!!! And many other ships and subs I knew about.
Funny thing a lot of people don't know. German Battleship KMS Bismarck actually lies on the slope of a giant undersea mount. She landed about 3/4ths of the way up the mount and then slid down about a third of the way down before she cut across the slope's face to get stuck. So she is actually elevated off the true bottom of the Atlantic Sea Floor.
True. The best way to find the wreck is following the giant ditch it carved on the way down the mountain.
Sild down about 3000 feet
In some places they say that it is on the slope of an extinct volcano or something like that.
shut up lil dude everyone knows that
Another few things people don’t know about KMS Bismarck is that the British technically only crippled HIM they did NOT sink him Bismarck’s crew scuttled him so the Royal Navy couldn’t capture him
It’s strange to see the costa concordia being deeper than some shipwreck but still being half out of the water.

The Johnston was only confirmed earlier this year.

I thought that for years and never expected any other major ships to beat it. Amazing to see where it fit's in to great shipwreck depths chart. USS Johnston's depth is truly jaw dropping.
and to know that the Bismark is actually deeper than the Titanic also
As a fan of Sabaton, it blows my mind that the Bismarck actually sank SO deep... The mightiest ship in the whole WW II looks like an insignificant scrap of metal down there.

It always amuses me to see people call the Bismarck the mightiest ship of the war, when the design and construction, and even the guns were inferior to almost every interwar battleship built. It gets credited as “the best” because it destroyed the oldest and most outdated ship in the RN, it’s pretty comedic
