WOW!! My grandfather worked on those cribs in Lake Michigan back in the day! Especially the 30's. Cool to see the history of them. Thank you for posting it here,
Wow. The water pipeline from the middle of the Lake was very Innovating very for the time imho. Very smart idea to bring in clean water and stopped the polluted water Good stuff. Love this show. Watched all so far. Very creative to know what is below the water line at the bottom. Maybe sometime can do Lake Ontario. That Lake has loads of history at the bottom. Job well done.
National Geographic-please do more on Great Lakes wrecks! I’ve recently started reading books about the storms, the crews, the ships, planes, etc., but video like this is much appreciated. (You could also slightly ratchet down the dramatic tone, but hey, that’s up to you…)
I grew up on the shores of lake Michigan in Racine Wisconsin and I remember one day my father and mother and I were stuck in the Chicago loop for 3 hours and I swear to God that I would never ever go back again! And I never have!
That’s too bad 😀; I live in Milwaukee & love going to Chicago on the weekends; so many fun activities, things to do ; great theater scene , live Orchestra @ Millennium Park all summer !!! I wouldn’t drive there tho; too Expensive to park anywhere , I catch the train from downtown Milwaukee & get off @ Union Square downtown; & just walk everywhere or catch Uber to farther places . For those in Wisconsin to truly enjoy all that Chicago has to offer ; I recommend catching the train instead ; driving there ain’t worth the pain & frustration of Traffic , tolls & parking unless you’re just passing thru to Indiana , Ohio, Michigan & other farther States!!! Chicago is A beautiful city minus the terrible Reputation in the media .
America's original superhighway was called King's Highway, which was between Boston, MA and CharlesTOWN, SC, and existed long before there was a Chicago.
I never really appreciated just how big these lakes are. OK, sure, I knew they where big but it never really crossed my mind until the last couple of years, realizing if I was in the middle of this lake, it would look exactly like being in the middle of the ocean. wild
Doesn't matter what day it is , what time it is , or what show im watching , anytime i see our 2 towers and the attack against our country , I CRY EVERY SINGLE TIME NO MATTER WHAT !!! We have it so good and most dont even know it , or they just dont care at all?
'Back then people didn't know how to swim' ... um yeah they did well some did at least, problem was most clothes were made of layers heavy wool, tweed and hard leather shoes. Even if they knew how to swim they would still be weighted down. It just sounded like she was implying swimming was a modern invention. Also throw in the fact its freezing cold in the water that takes the breath out of you making it even harder to swim. I fell into a glacier fed lake as a kid and I knew how to swim well but even I sank for a bit from light modern clothes and the cold.
great video, i really enjoyed the exploration of submerged secrets. however, i can't help but wonder if we’re over-romanticizing these underwater discoveries. are we really learning from the past, or just sensationalizing it for views?
so the first ship, the survivors were those who made shore ? from 16 miles out? or was the timber ship able to pick anyone up? did they sink as well ? curious
This show is very good. I like it. The Commentator's voice is perfect for it. However, with the exception of the constant stopping in the middle of his sentences. It works for suspense. But not, for this type of show ( Commentaries).
My open opinion is they must of went into a bad storm if huge waves hit the boat steam was the boat power if the bottom deck has doors to seals if there's a flood what about the chimney think about it if water an alot comes down the chimney wouldn't pressure from water coming down the chimney would have enough steam pressure to blow a hole into the side of the ship I may not be correct it's just my thought about what happened I give my condolence to the family of those people who was lost wow that had to be a scary situation 😢
it kinda makes sense, if a ship encounters huge waves, the water could indeed compromise its structural integrity, especially if the bottom deck was not adequately sealed
I've known about floating casinos for quite awhile and always kind of felt bad for the gangsters that owned them. They figured out the legal loop hole of international waters. And the government decided to raid them anyway. Leave it to the government to do what they wanted. Simply change the distance of international waters or set a fire or two. They can also just think heck with it were the cops , what's anybody gonna do.
I See Solar going on there ! As the most censored author I guarantee I get no likes But awesome to see the Solar From space to the ocean Solar beats any Utility worldwide yet to be discovered because the ones like that block us with our book Solar independent Utility systems manual online
Wow talk about relearning forgotten lessons of the past There was a reason we declared the declaration of independence All but forgotten Yks Glad I’m not counting on that water system Be independent everyone read Solar independent Utility systems manual
welcome to national geographic for the last ten years. American TV is awful, entirely cliffhangers ads and drama. there's hundreds of independantly produced documentary channels on TH-cam with far better quality along with reuploads of old quality documentaries. Just use adblock
No, it's pretty well documented that very few people could swim, including sailors. These days, swimming is a leisure activity we take for granted, but 'leisure' as we know it, was unknown to most people

thank you for streaming,and making these videos. I read the National Geographic magazine back in the day.

Why ratchet it down? The subject matter is dramatic!
I grew up on the shores of lake Michigan in Racine Wisconsin and I remember one day my father and mother and I were stuck in the Chicago loop for 3 hours and I swear to God that I would never ever go back again! And I never have!
If you pass through Chicago via Lake Shore Drive, at least a traffic jam affords you a great look at Lake Michigan all the while.

Never stop making these my son loves them
This is fascinating! Only half way through & really enjoying this😊💜🇨🇦
Woooooooo my hometown May God Bless us all loved Chicagoans
I can't believe this is a fascinating episode of the city I grew up in!!!
Excellent documentary, I love Chicago, interesting segment
Dont knock the dramatic tone..i love it and the narrators voice❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have NEVER heard about the ship found under ground zero! 😮😮😮 It's amazing it was even found let alone that anything is left of it at all. 😊
Watch this in 20x speed, gives you whole lot difference experience.
Surprisingly good find.
America's original superhighway was called King's Highway, which was between Boston, MA and CharlesTOWN, SC, and existed long before there was a Chicago.
One of my favorite stories is the CSI investigation of the Custer Battlefield.
This is stellar!
7:35 "And crystal clear" We all wish Michigan was crystal clear.
It is just not near Chicago. Go up to upper mi once
@@allenhendrickson3196it'll all be darkened if people go up to see clear water.
Wow what an amazing video
Not really at all!
Very pleased for the download, thank you so much!
Sinking a real warship for a Hollywood movie, only a film buff would know. Now that's what I call a practical effect.
😂😂😂😂❤😂❤😂😂

38:48 Never stop making these my Family really loves them!!! ❣❣❣
I love my city ❤
very informative and worthwhile! Thank you!
Very interesting 💯
No,no it's not!
Doesn't matter what day it is , what time it is , or what show im watching , anytime i see our 2 towers and the attack against our country , I CRY EVERY SINGLE TIME NO MATTER WHAT !!! We have it so good and most dont even know it , or they just dont care at all?
The people who urged the ship to go can't reach their meetings forever instead of just for a day late.
i left the room and walked in to this playing for the past hour
Very interesting ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️. Thank you for this channel on TH-cam.
Incredible
Diving equipment is certainly better now then when Sea Hunt was a series!
Very cool watch but goes to show that those with wealth could still put pressure on others regardless of the cost
I miss A period for National Geographic Between 1888 to 2008!! 😭💔
I love the mega episodes!👍
They're spoiling us!
Amazing footage! I like the episode😍
Great video!
Lake Michigan is only Icey cold in the fall leading to winter and the winter leading to spring.
Love Chicago so much ❤
Amazing city 🏙
Great show!!

yeah, the cold can impact even really good swimmers
Thank you National Geographic and you Tube for in lighting History , God Bless And Peace be with you All ❤Aloha and Mahalo 😇🌺👣
it is always weather that took the ships down
This is❤ America 🌎❤!!!!! This is 🇺🇲 the United States!🤯
The poor country is the same as the ship the ss united states is sinking 😢😢😢
great video, i really enjoyed the exploration of submerged secrets. however, i can't help but wonder if we’re over-romanticizing these underwater discoveries. are we really learning from the past, or just sensationalizing it for views?
Wow raising the whole city 😮😮😮 that’s amazing 😮😮😮
i always watch long videos like this to fall asleep at night, and then I end up dreaming about what's happening in the video lol
Lake Superior is the coldest Great Lake.
wow i like your video
You should “Drain” Lake Superior to see the Edmond Fitzgerald wreak!!
Cool content
Love it we’ll done thx
SONAR is it nearly as sophisticated as NatGeo would have you think.. still very interesting
What? nearly sophisticated ? 🤔
talk about a party barge! 🥳..i didn't realize prohibition didn't apply on the water
Gales of November
I like how the episode starts with Drain Chicago. Its proper cause that place is a swamp 🤣
According to all we've seen in the news. I would say so.
Your point is exactly???😒🤔🤔😒
@@LONEWOLF-rq5tl I made my point stupid.. (bunch of emojis here)
The rivers were the super highways of the USA. The Great Lakes were an inland sea.
Er, correction here-the two conversions of ships into aircraft carriers wasn’t done in Chicago. Both happened in Buffalo.
Nice😊
14:15 back then they didn't know how to swim 😅
Yeah now everyone is so fat we all just float 😂😂😂
17:31 that’s doofenshmirtz evil incorporated
so the first ship, the survivors were those who made shore ? from 16 miles out? or was the timber ship able to pick anyone up? did they sink as well ? curious
Wow mega episode..
I trust the DATA, i never trusted the animators to rely on it tho.
I skipped the video from somewhere 2 mins in to around 50mins and I see the same frame of image. In a 3 hours long video, what are the odds?
I wanna hear more about the raiders on the Monfalcone 😄
This show is very good. I like it. The Commentator's voice is perfect for it.
However, with the exception of the constant stopping in the middle of his sentences.
It works for suspense.
But not, for this type of show ( Commentaries).
Where did the erosion of salt come from
It really is mind blowing how unscrupulous they were about all thw waste

I believe the chain to the anchor got caught under the huge rock and tore a giant hole in the boat. The evidence looks clear.
Where do you put it all?
He think Chicago was not in America 😅
I See Solar going on there ! As the most censored author I guarantee I get no likes
But awesome to see the Solar
From space to the ocean Solar beats any Utility worldwide yet to be discovered because the ones like that block us with our book Solar independent Utility systems manual online
The Nebraska story was great, I’m from Omaha, NE. ‼️‼️‼️
OMG!! How they drain the lake and where be all the water go at?
Wow talk about relearning forgotten lessons of the past
There was a reason we declared the declaration of independence
All but forgotten
Yks
Glad I’m not counting on that water system
Be independent everyone read Solar independent Utility systems manual
The woman came by after the battle and dismembered the Union soldiers
So their spirits can never use their bodies again
when do they plan on draining Lake Michigan?
This documentary is very compressed it doesn’t use much phone battery JSYK
Why is everything always the first or worst in somebody’s history. Shipwreck or plane crash.
Monfalcone: and that's the history of cruise ships in today's generation
Finish your stories,,to the. End more people would finish watching
They came early
The narrator needs a new script. Too much poor wording for dramatic effect.
welcome to national geographic for the last ten years. American TV is awful, entirely cliffhangers ads and drama. there's hundreds of independantly produced documentary channels on TH-cam with far better quality along with reuploads of old quality documentaries. Just use adblock
The water intake is not "in the middle of the lake".
People lived on and around a lake and didn't know how to swim??????
SORRY BUT ONLY LEGAL AMERICANS SHOULD BE ABLE TO OWN ANYTHING IN AMERICA!!!! PERIOD!!!
Probably blame Trump for that too.
For mining towns ,Bodie all you have do is look for the land destruction and wrecked vegetation mountains of tailings .just pure destruction.
Where are the fish? The whole time in the lake and no fish are swimming around her?
So what year did humans learn how to swim??
2024

This guy hasn’t been to Chicago in a while
"back then they didn't know how to swim"? What are you talking about?! Really? Since there were no survivors, pure speculation people....
No, it's pretty well documented that very few people could swim, including sailors. These days, swimming is a leisure activity we take for granted, but 'leisure' as we know it, was unknown to most people
How can people not know how to swim because anyone can keep their heads up and out of the water
Copious amounts of blue duct tape
What's with the over the top and dramatic music🙄?
what do you expect it's National Geographic
