Master and Commander is arguably one of the best, most historically accurate war movies ever. Though it is fiction and based on a series of novels, its attention to detail and respect for the Royal Navy in the age of Nelson really just freaking rules. If you havent watched it, do yourself a favor and please do
A few hours late commenting on this video but I have to jump in and say that I straight CRIED REAL TEARS when I saw that Bob Hope memorial... It is so touching to see him entertaining generations of troops of all ages and races and genders and branches, able bodied and wounded, seeing their smiling faces and hearing their laughter for all time... What a fitting tribute to someone who really gave so much to people who deserve MUCH better than our government gives them... Thank you Jacob for sharing this wonderful monument with us... Finding out about unexpected things like this is one of the things I love best about your channel...
I would really, really, REALLY enjoying seeing the ship carrying all of the planes. That would be incredibly interesting
The best place to go whale watching is in Monterey California. I've gone whale watching there with some marine biology friends and the blue whales are so beautiful to see. Especially in a small research vessel since it really helps you to appreciate how massive they are. But you go during the right time of year and there's tons of whales. I've even seen Humpback Whales feeding.
I learned all those knots in Boy Scouts. For some reason the sheet bend is harder to remember.
Best way to remember the deference between the starboard and port side of a ship or boat. Port has 4 letters just like the word left. Port is the left side. Starboard is right. Helps me remember at least.
Hey Jacob cocaine bear is getting ready to be shown in theaters you should do a movie review on it. I watched your video on the ships this was amazing how much we have evolved and the beautiful ships it's truly amazing.
Fantastic. This maritine museum gives a lot of bang for the buck. Totally nnjoyable.
Good to see the Surprise is being restored slightly. The stern gallery was damaged a while back.
Thanks! I absolutely love your videos. You have taken me so many places I wouldn't get to see if not for your travels.
Thank you!

Great job, the ships are great for any visitors in San Diego to check out over on harbor drive.
San Diego was my home most of the 90s as my partner was finishing his 20 year Navy career. Beautiful city with lots to do and see. The original Museum of Death was in downtown San Diego at that time, in a basement space that used to be a mortuary (it was moved to Los Angeles in 1999). Great video Jacob!
Excellent blog today! So many interesting stuff! Love those sea monsters 🐍
We would like to suggest a fun day in downtown LA; visit the fantastic "BROAD" Art Museum, then ride the historic "ANGELS FLIGHT" tramway down Bunker Hill, then have a bite to eat at the Grand Central Market. All of these attractions are in close proximity. Your narration at the Forest Lawn Museum was great and we think you'd do a wonderful job with your take on art museums. Thanks for what you do!
The AGSS-555 Dolphin was one one of many subs my Dad helped build in his 35 years at the Portsmouth Navel Shipyard. I'm fortunate enough to have documentation of dozens of subs my dad worked on in his career. Including the Dolphin. Thanks for sharing while you walk in his footsteps as well as others that built and served on it.
The U.S.S. San Diego (LPD) 22 was built where I work in Pascagoula Mississippi by Ingalls Shipbuilding. I'm currently working on LPD 29. this was a great episode of maritime history.
I know I am coming in late but from a San Diego resident, here are some weatherproof ideas:
1. Balboa Park for the Comic-Con Museum, the San Diego Air and Space Museum and the nearby (2 minute walk) Flee Science Center (they have a great IMAX dome, one of the biggest in the US - perfect for a rainy day)
2. Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institute (at UCSD in La Jolla) - amazing aquarium
3. Geisel Library at UCSD (has Dr. Seuss' archives and exhibits)
4. The shops of the Convoy District - not a mall, just an area with cool shops (some really great pop culture stores and amazing Asian cuisine)
Seasonal Exhibits:
1. National Geographic's Beyond King Tut exhibit at the Del Mar Fairgrounds
2. Jurassic World: The Exhibition in Mission Valley
Food:
1. Kansas City BBQ (down in the Marina where you were in this vlog) - where they filmed Top Gun bar scenes
2. Liberty Public Market in Liberty Square (tons of great local vendors and food)
3. The oldest still functioning Jack In The Box (San Diego's hometown fast food) 4104 Mission Boulevard in Pacific Beach (the first was on 63rd and El Cajon is long gone)
4. Tacos El Gordo - Super popular taco chain in San Diego and Vegas only
5. Hodad's in Pacific Beach (legendary local burgers)
6. High Pies in Oceaside (the repurposed house from the original Top Gun) - a bit of a drive but a great photo op
I could go on and on. I love this city!
At 4:55-5:09 the U.S.S. San Diego (LPD-22) is a San Antonio-class amphibious landing platform dock (LPD) that is not simply an aircraft carrier (it has no aircraft wings like a full aircraft carrier), rather it transports numerous types of craft, both sea, air, and land used in an expeditionary force, which in turn carry troops to land.
U.S.S. Langley (CV-1/AV-3), is the first proper aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy. It started out life as a collier named Jupiter in 1912, but was converted a 8 years later into Langley, and provided valuable experience in naval aviation warfare operations that informed the importance of this new way of fighting and helped in having other vessels converted after the Washington Treaty from heavy cruisers and battleships into carriers.
My grandpa Nugent and his cousin and brother, were some of the ones that stormed the beaches of Normandy.
Jacob one thing that might be interesting to see and hear in San Diego is in historic Balboa Park, they have the world's largest outdoor pipe organ. There are concerts there all the time.
My parents actually live in one of the apartment buildings close to museum so it’s cool getting to see the neighborhood I lived in with them before moving to college was nice. And back when I was young I actually took a trip with my class where we spend the night on the Star of India and that was right before my mom met my stepdad and we moved downtown
Being born and raised in Connecticut we have Mystic Seaport, with the Morgan an old whaling ship😿, sad but fascinating museum also of course Groton Navel base and many in Massachusetts, love old ships ty for this vlog making me a little homesick oh yes the USS Constitution. Love the sea monsters as much as you Jacob 🐙🦑🦐I so love your adventures 🐡🦭🦈
My dad was in the Maritime School, thank you for sharing Jacob.
I died harder than you when you got eaten by the shark! We love the bagger! Thank you!
Super super late but Jacob, if you're staying in San Diego for a few days, I might as well throw my hat in the ring here: go and eat at the Old Town Mexican Cafe. It's right across from the Whaley House (also interesting, but if you've been there before there's nothing new lol), and it has the most delicious homemade tortillas you'll ever have. If you and Jen are into ribs I can't recommend theirs enough. The whole old town area is adorable, but maybe not best to visit in a storm. I have a relative buried at Point Loma, and my family will visit every so often. We go way out of our way to include the Cafe in our trip though, every time! We always take as many as they'll give us to go, too!
What a wonderful and very enjoyable video! Such a fantastic Place, I LOVE IT!!!! All those beautiful ships, submarine, Bob Hope memorial which is so lovely!!!! and the large kissing sailor statue/sculpture, UTTERLY AMAZING!!!!!! A billion stars to you Mr Carpetbagger, thank you for bringing this place to us, I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!!!😊
Thank you so much for visiting the Maritime Museum! I am a lover of tall ships. So many in one place just makes my heart race. I am smiling so hard my cheeks hurt!
i love seeing you and jenn together in videos.
i love seeing you and jenn together.
It's good to just have those moments for your memory!
I was stationed in San Diego when I was in the Navy; so I visited the maritime museum and USS Midway. To answer your question the ship across the way with the 72 is CVN 72 the USS Abraham Lincoln and that's Naval Air Station North Island an active Naval base; Naval Base Coronado where the Navy SEALs are is down the road.
I actually somewhat recently just visited that museum, I never went on the old ship sadly, but I went on the others.
Those ships are fascinating 😸
Nice periscope zoom view. Thank you Jacob how cool.
Wow Jacob, 8000 dolphins is even hard to picture. I've seen pods of dolphins before but never a mega pod. Great video as always!
And they say the sea is polluted by plastic
The Berkley is a very haunted ship, my last ever paranormal investigation took place there in 2019. The entire Maritime area along with Old Town is filled with spirits of the past.
😂
Why did you stop? Do you know Omar Gosh ?? He does haunted places too.
I would love to see all of the ships in person. Thanks Jacob 😊
Fascinating I loved the Captains Quarters on the older ship. Just neat to see all these different boats.
I was in San Diego about 10 years ago. I loved all this, so glad it’s all still there. Thank you for showing it! Love it!
Love the Lovecraftian ship behind you in the intro is foreboding. Fitting for a sea adventure.
Hey CarpetBagger as always thanks for giving something to look forward to your videos mean so much to me I have heart problems and cant get out like I want so the videos are great !! Love you ❤️♥️🐻🌵🤗😎
I would highly recommend visiting the Midway on your next trip. Spent hours walking around and exploring.
Hello again, Jacob. If you have an interest in exotic new electric vehicles, you should check out the Arcimoto FUV (Fun Utility Vehicle) dealership in San Diego. They have rentals and demo drives. The vehicle is three-wheeled, drives like a motorcycle, and looks like nothing you've ever driven before. We love 'em.
Oh my gosh! It's been so long since I've been to San Diego. I remember some of the areas and jeez some of the areas have been to you as a kid have changed. I really need to visit San Diego again
Wow- loved the ship museum in San Diego! We have a museum in San Francisco that has a ferry just like the one here (that was used on the SF bay before the bridges were built), but it only has one sailing ship accompanying it. Many more boats in San Diego. We'll have to visit next time we take a trip down there. Thanks! 😀
Very interesting as usual. We all appreciate you either taking us places we may never see or refreshing our minds of a place we have visited in the past. Glad you took a day off and enjoyed yourself with Jen.
If you are headed towards A.Z. Tucson area the Sonoran Desert Museum is a great place to visit and Kartchner Caverns is in the same area all fairly close to Tombstone.
Also Jacob visit Old Tucson Studio where John Wayne made some of his movies
So glad your whale watching was a good experience .Sounds amazing. I don't think I have ever seen a Marine museum with so many or such variety of vessels. Thank you for showing this to us as it would be something otherwise I would never get to see. Safe travels Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
Thanks for sharing the ships in this amazing harbor⛵🚢 I love seeing boats! I'm glad you had some time off with Jenn. You don't have to film everything you do! Be well in your travels💜
San Diego...I was stationed there, on North Island. Seems like a million years ago now.
I really enjoyed this, I lived in San Diego as a kid when my dad was NAVY, rainy day Hotel Del Coronado, Museums at Balboa Park, Birch Aquarium at Scripps, USS Midway Museum, San Diego Model Railroad Museum, San Diego Air and Space Museum, San Diego Natural History Museum,Marine Corps Command Museum, San Diego Automotive Museum, indoor skydiving at Ifly, when it's not raining, the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Bird Rock, Balboa Park
Such a cool experiance! I learned the hard way a few years ago that I’m not made for submarines. My dad and I went to visit the USS Razorback in Little Rock and my head was so bruised afterwards! 😂😢 Kept smacking into the bulkheads and ceilings.
I have been there and enjoyed being on the ships. It was so awesome to be able to be on them and the touch of history. Thanks for sharing, I lost some of my pictures from my trip.
You may still manage okay outdoors, taking breaks. Check the doppler.
The museums at Balboa Park are great. Don't know if the carousel and train are running(probably not because of rain). The zoo would be a must if not raining.
Old Town (Railroad museum is great!) has many indoor places as well.
Either way, nice to see you in my neck of the woods!!! Enjoy!
I would love to visit this museum. I love historical maritime stuff!
Next time you're on the East coast, I highly recommend the New Bedford Whaling Museum in MA and the Mystic Seaport in CT.
iv never been to many of the places you film its good to see it here than anywere
We enjoyed going down to San Diego often before we moved further north in California; I can't remember whether we went to this museum or not it does look familiar though. Thank you for showing some of our old stomping grounds!
Fun fact: it usually took 2-4, people to steer those big sailing ships
That's an amazing museum 🤩🚢⛵🌟 I grew up on the water and I love ships and boats and museums most of all ❣️ Thanks Jacob 🙏💝 I am glad that You are having fun with Jenn and I love seeing the two of You together 💞😻💗
I recommend checking out Ocean Beach! It's about a ten minute drive from where you filmed this video. It's a very unique little Beach community... there's really no other place like it! If you and Jen want to stop for a drink, check out Pacific Shores Cocktail Longue on Newport. It was built in remembrance of Pearl Harbor and it has a vintage, aquatic theme to it. It's over 80 years old. My bf works there...both of us really enjoy you and Jen's videos btw!... ☺️
This is one of the best videos ive seen this year so far
Thanks for the memories. We use to go there once a year to view those vessels and bore our kids. A friend of mine actually sailed on the one ship for the filming of the Pirates of the Caribbean. You need to check out the "San Diego Model Railroad Museum" in Balboa Park. It is really cool. Probably not as cool as that minature Canada place you found, but it is still pretty cool. I am guessing the Bob Hope tribute went in after we left LA in 2005. We never saw it.
Fun video, I grew up in San Diego so this brings back great memories
Great video. Always wanted to go there for the HMS Surprise to start. It’s not a side wheeler, but The Berkeley reminds me of the General Slocum, the 1904 worst maritime disaster prior to the Titanic. Search for Mike Rowe Dirty Jobs, they did 2 segments on each of the Medea and the Star of India. Maggot biscuits, take the lesser of two weevils! That aircraft carrier is the USS Abraham Lincoln, an active part of the Pacific fleet. It's pronounced Shawnessee. You should go to the Submariners Museum in Groton, Conn and go to Mystic Seaport. Next time in NC at Judaculla Rock, I’ll now be sure to stay away from the Hiawassee! Jacob, you tie knots like Hooper in Jaws. Thanks, great video
Yay! You are wearing your old hat again with the full pin collection !
You need to visit the Whaley house in San Diego. It's reported to be one of the most haunted places in the world.
Thank you Jacob.
Love San Diego
Why. I lived there. I moved out guns
Starboard means the right side of the ship, ports left, bow is the front and the stern is the back.
Love your videos! Great attraction exposure.
Hi Jacob! Glad to hear you and Jen having fun! I hope you make it to San Francisco soon, I'm a big fan from the bay area. I know you typically go around ripleys in sf but I want to see you explore pier 39 and any interactive affordable places for you and Jen! Pier 13 usually holds a free art gallery you should definitely check it out
SD native!! Happy y’all enjoy
LOVE San Diego.
Tyrant police live there. So i got told
They do know who the sailor and the nurse are and they've been interviewed multiple times in the past.
Yes, my brother actually interviewed the sailor back in 2013
@@Mandy.Corcoran oh that's pretty cool :)
oh wow that’s really awesome because my grandfather was born in 1898 that’s a really small world
I’ve been meaning to go see the sea monster exhibit but haven’t gotten to it yet. Maybe next month! I hope your enjoying San Diego! Oh if your looking for something to do indoors and haven’t seen it yet mission valley mall has a Jurassic world experience right now, it’s amazing and I 100% Recommend it. Also the whaley house is always great to see.
Check out "San Diego Model Railroad Museum" in Balboa Park. It's pretty cool if you like large train dioramas.
That was an awesome video Captain carpetbagger
Awesome video, Jacob. I love ships.
Eye Eye captain
❤this is where I hang out. Love the harbor.❤
Super wonderfull vlog.. Very interesting... I have enjoyed this very much.. Thanks Jacob keep safe and well.. XXX
I live in san Diego. you should go to the fleet science center in Balboa park in san deigo
I’m also in San Diego!! Take the USS Midway tour!
This is going to be very interesting video, I hope you had a nice day off God knows you need that from time to time. I just love the tall ships, just beautiful
Loved the 'Dying Jazz Hands.' Very interesting and enjoyable content as usual.
👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
36:10 Mystic Seaport in Mystic, CT is similar place to go, filled with sea ships and a 19th century village shipbuilding town.
Nice to see you here in San Diego 😊.
You can visit BALBOA PARK IS VERY COOL
SAN DIEGO ZOO 😊
SEA WORLD
I been on a ship like the Berkeley at age 9 or 10 I remember my experience to this day at 34 🙂 , I never saw inside of a submarine before that's cool , I could so live in small corridors. I always wanted to live on a ship or tiny house. An apartment for one is the first start lol
Another very awesome video jacob 👍👍
Another suggestion for exotic food. Go to Not Not Tacos in the Little Italy Food Hall in San Diego. This is one of Sam the Cooking Guy's places. Sam is the TH-camr Samuel D. Zien. His menu includes Korean Short Rib Taco, Eggplant Parm Taco, Sam's Cheeseburger Taco, and many others, all served with Tater Tots. Try "The Trio" or "It's a Date Taco Bundle" to sample four tacos of your choice.
You need to come to Muskogee Oklahoma and visit the USS Batfish. It is the most decorated submarine during WWII.
I'm glade your doing ships, I love ships, ahoy matey lol ☠️ this was awesome Jacob 🚢⛴️
Go to Balboa Park, Seaport Village, Old Town, Whaley House, LA Jolla Shores and the seals at the kids pool, the zoo, Hotel Del Coronado, Legoland, Wild Animal park etc..
Carpetbagger is in San Diego? It'd be cool to run across him at a local museum.
Btw you can get 1/2 off at most SD museums this month by visiting a Macy's and getting a free museum pass.
Good Afternoon Jacob 🙋🏽. I hope you have a wonderful day ‼️
Definitely remember my home turf as it were lol. Definitely interesting
Would love to see you visit the Coronado Hotel where Marilyn Monroe shot her movie Some like it hot.its across the Coronado Bridge
Hello Jacob and Jen and some of the Sea monster's are real like the Gaint Squid and Octopus they have them in movie's and the Gaint Octopus was in the movie of Popeye sailor Man that played Robin Williams .
So many things hanging or not tied down in these ships and at the ships age as well... isnt there a worry about storms damaging any of that
You should check out the titanic museum next time you are in Vegas. There is a small piece (the staircase replica) you can't film but the rest you can. And also see the near by aquarium.
Great video Jacob.
Very nice.
