I Know I had said it a few times before, however you really have excelled with this video lads! Your choice of filming to include considerable content showing you working as a team and being in the scenes really made me feel I was there with you and when you were traversing the decks and looking over the side I even felt myself leaning with you. I always enjoy what you produce, but this was on another level from all aspects of your production. Thanks very much.
The photography of this video is something worth noting, the continuous transition between a point of view perspective to a sweeping selection of external images works very well and even better when it is then garnished with historical aspects. Luvely jubbly
No, it was cracked in half by storms. There was very little oil left, most in sealed units. Talks were held about towing it out and scuttling it and with scrap dealers that came to nothing. So it was left for the sea to break up.
Saying hi from the US in Minnesota Love the video didn't hear about the ship if it did make news in the US I didn't see it but it's wonderful that you guys risked your life to bring such a great video to the people of TH-cam. Thank you it was awesome!
A very interesting video. I have been following the MV Alta story, since she was driven ashore. Time has taken its toll on this once grand vessel. She is completely split in half and I fear that she won’t survive the ravages of the weather for too much longer. I bet that the ship was well looted before the fire, all the navigation and radar equipment would have been robbed very likely by trophy hunters.I’m surprised the forklift was left onboard, it can’t be rescued now.Thanks for filming this explore for us.
The 'cabin with all the belongings' showing what is the heart of the fire is actually the bridge and most of what you see scattered on the floor there were old navigation aids and bridge equipment. It probably wasn't the heart of the fire but because that part of the superstructure is aluminium, it completely melted in sections unlike the lower steel sections which have a might higher melting point. Very interesting video, it looks like a roro to me, so would have had vehicles on those open decks.
Lovely video, great to see the interior , shame it is so fire damaged I expect the Irish are quite pleased with their new "tourist attraction " ,I do not think the two half's drifted apart just the middle part has collapsed with the action of the sea and over time the power sea will demolish the rest of the ship.
Great job lads. This Corkman now living in the States appreciates your excellent work. I had not heard of this wreck. Really appreciate the narration along with the great camera and drone work. Glad you stayed safe while on board.
The MV Alta ( her seventh name ) was something of a mystery prior to her being abandoned and still hold’s a lot of unknown secret’s, she was whole when she went on the rocks. A great video showing how she is today although a sad. At 17:20 on coming out of the hatch someone said right at the stern in fact you were on the bow.
This was really well put together. Can see it was a little awkward filming the to camera segments, but you all did a great job. Was such a good mission. You guys really put in a shift capturing this!
Great footage of how the MV Alta looked, back in 2022. She has deteriorated a lot since then, having weathered many a storm. What an amazing back story, this old ship has. It’s remarkable that she even reached her present location, having drifted without a crew, for so long.
Well done all. Amazing video indeed. This is so professional, but at the same time unique and personal. In another world / time this would be a BBC documentary . That tower climb in the first half of the vessel, now way ! Your narration is excellent. Mark,
What an amazing vid! Those winches look like they could still run. Can't believe what the sea has done in breaking it apart. Superb work, thanks so much for all your efforts and for sharing.
I’m surprised that there’s even as much as this left of the MV Alta. The forces of nature are claiming this old vessel, this is inevitable after all the time she has been there. I’ve been following the story of the MV Alta, since she was forced onto the rocks, by Storm Dennis. A great and daring explore. There will soon be far less left of the wreck. Well done guys, I admire your bravado! You got a spectacular view when you climbed to the top of the gantry. Rather you than me, as I don’t have a good head for heights! Thanks for bringing us this great footage of this fast disappearing shipwreck .👍
That was an excellent and awesome video the whole way through, wow what an amazing story behind the boat. Thank you so very much for making it. I really enjoyed watching it so much. .
Fantastic explore. I loved this style of video and seeing your faces more. I always like to see the faces who create such great content. Ship wrecks are fascinating aren’t they?
Kudos once again to you lads for making a most excellent journal of your expedition. This has to be one of the bestest! Incredible. My heart jumped a few times as you ascended the tower. I so appreciate all the trips you have made. I am pretty sure I have watched every single one at least once. I still venture out on my little expeditions of my own, within a two-hour radius of Medicine Hat, and still have not seen everything there is to see. Keep up the good work.
One of your best videos yet lads - loved seeing the behind the scenes and the journey to the location. You could really tell how much you were enjoying it - not surprised it's a phenomenal location that. Great drone shots too. Shame some tosser decided to set it on fire as those cabins and bridge would have been interesting to look at. None the less an epic explore and would love to see more of these types of videos / more maritime locations!
This was brilliant, I've watched everyone of your explores and this was the best I think. The new format, excellent filming with plenty of shots from different angles shows. I admire the way you always look out for each other, respect the property. Well done all and thank you 💕🇦🇺
Welcome to Ireland guys. Cant believe that in the 21st century a ship like that would be allowed wander around the ocean on its own, it could have hit anything from a taker to a cruse ship and God knows what the outcome of that could have been. Unlike my attempt which the weather ruined and it turned out just to dangerous you got a good day for it. Nice explore thanks.
Absolutely brilliant video thank you for uploading it and risking your safety for creating this video.defo is one of my favourite abandoned videos on TH-cam. I must admit I was 💩 my pants when you were climbing up that ladder to reach the top of the front end of the ship.im glad yous all got off safely. Take care
Just discovered your channel after hearing you mentioned by Hell on Earth. Absolutely love it, great production, lots of historical info, made by some respectful young lads. I’m now off on a marathon watch of your back library. Keep up the great work.
Terrific work. Your videos seem to get better and better, and it's always fantastic to see the respect you have for the places you visit. Well done, lads.
At this point (11.17) I am truly blown away... I try not to comment these days as I am too descriptive and write an essay of what I think...loving it already...
Hiya Guys this vLog is amazing & it's good to see you three for once 👍 The best yet 👏Your explanation & vocals is always so clear & precise 👏 Perfect! Good on ya lads keep up the excellent work & take care 🤗
Something we would all love to do but just don't have the time or the balls. Thanks, lads, for a real adventure, this is your best yet. For 'front' read 'bow' For 'stern' read 'bow' For 'staff' read 'crew' For 'rear end' read 'stern' For 'floor', 'ground' or 'level' read 'deck' For 'vacation' read 'evacuation' For 'cabin' read 'bridge'
What an adventure. After watching this I was drained, one of or at least your most challenging videos to date. Well done, your work is most appreciated.
This is probably my favourite video you have made. Fascinating! If only I'd been there. Few questions...should you of worn say boots instead of trainer's? Were you not concerned with the rusting metal incase you injured yourselves?
Hi Im from Cork and the word was that the County Council / Land owner Torched the boat as a Deterrent, as they didnt want people staying on the boat or having parties on it either
Fantastic work. But please be weary of confined space fellas. That engine room could have been depleted of oxygen with all that corrosion inside. What usually happens is the first guy passes out, then so do any rescuers. Then everyone suffocates. It's known as the silent killer. It's always so unexpected.
It would appear that roughly Aug 2022 or shortly before there was another fire on the ship that transferred to some of the nearby field (I'm guessing the cliff hiding ferns... And now there is talk of removal of the ship before further health and safety related incidents occur. This was pretty cool to see this exploration... too bad you all were not able to make it before the initial fire..
Great video. Someone needs to learn difference between bow and stern though! You was at the bow of the ship, in front of the bridge. Not at the stern or back of the ship. Great stuff tho lads
It would be very interesting, to organize a mission to rescue all that scrap from that place, I am a civil engineer and I observed how there are ships that have been shipwrecked everywhere, without any world institution worrying about scrapping all these materials, I am going to set up an organization to scrap these shipwrecks, sure.
@@CycolacFan Thats where the empty hold was so the weakest part of the ship - not much to break off that part of the ship because of that and the bits are lying beside the ship on the shore side by the looks of it.
@@williamwoods8022 makes sense, once water puts pressure against a flat wall of metal it can obviously tear it, just so strange how it looked like a giant saw cut it straight down.
I was lucky to get on board for a look before there was much stolen and she was still in one piece. I remember seeing 3 really big bras on a floor somewhere in the living quarters and imagined they probably belonged to some old dinner lady long ago 😅
17: 34.... No. You're not on the Stern. You are on the Bow. The Bow is the front. :)
Nice video though guys. Lovely day. A great way to spend it.

Cool video! I don't think it cracked in half, it was cut open to remove any leftover fuel and oil to prevent contamination.
No, it was cracked in half by storms. There was very little oil left, most in sealed units. Talks were held about towing it out and scuttling it and with scrap dealers that came to nothing. So it was left for the sea to break up.
Somebody should do a "Will it start?" video on that forklift! :)
Its a old Linde forklift, 3cylinder 2 stroke diesel...new battery, fresh feul, it will run.
Haha absolutely!
This was more exciting than the birth of my first born. Well done ladies!
Ladies….? You must have been watching something completely different 🙈🤣
I hope he/she sees this comment 😅

Greetings from Nevada , USA . Great explore there guys , well done . THANK YOU for showing it to us . Liked & Subbed .
I love Nevada … such and amazing state… 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Well done all. Amazing video indeed. This is so professional, but at the same time unique and personal. In another world / time this would be a BBC documentary . That tower climb in the first half of the vessel, now way ! Your narration is excellent. Mark,
I hear it is going to be declared a class 2 relic!😆

That was an excellent and awesome video the whole way through, wow what an amazing story behind the boat. Thank you so very much for making it. I really enjoyed watching it so much. .
Once again, your choice of videography never fails to amaze me! Every detail, every shot, its just seamless in every way!! 👌
Absolutely Fantastic!
This was refreshing to watch lads! I enjoyed it a lot!! Thank you 😊
What an amazing video guys! Thank you for taking us with you!
That one was amazing so fascinating to see what could happen in a couple years well done lads
Fantastic guys keep safe. Such a shame clearly some one set it on fire keep up the great work guys
Fantastic explore. I loved this style of video and seeing your faces more. I always like to see the faces who create such great content. Ship wrecks are fascinating aren’t they?
Nice ducu guys !!! Greetings from France 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

That’s a good watch and it was spoken very clearly,well done lads

It's great that you now appear in your own videos - definitely gives them a more human feel !

Your best video yet, fantastic work guys. Keep it up
Great video guys, but so so dangerous, can't wait to see more so I have subscribed, d
Another outstanding film. I appreciate your effort. Thank you.
Your great fans of Irish ☘️ Locations and content which is nice to see 😎

All ships have radar etc so would not hit it, large vessels adrift pose no real danger
Thanks for the update guys great video and commentary. 👍
Wow...wow... one of the best videos I’ve seen... keep it up... amazing.
Absolutely brilliant video thank you for uploading it and risking your safety for creating this video.defo is one of my favourite abandoned videos on TH-cam.

Terrific video and fantastic presentation. 👏 thanks for posting
Wow! Brilliant explore and thanks for sharing.
Iove the vid that's the Notth Atlantic for you and the middle section is missing right of passage bucket list job done 👍
Absolutely fantastic guys! Video footage is 1st class as is photography .well done👍
Terrific work. Your videos seem to get better and better, and it's always fantastic to see the respect you have for the places you visit. Well done, lads.
Expert video lads, did ya see any bass? 👀😉
Fantastic piece of work chaps….
Hi Guys, this has to be one of the best explore,s .the risk you took to get on board.thanks again.
Brilliant video Gents really like the new format
At this point (11.17) I am truly blown away... I try not to comment these days as I am too descriptive and write an essay of what I think...loving it already...
Quality explore that lads. Nicely done.
That was an awesome video love watching videos like this
Great video, I enjoyed it very much
Hiya Guys this vLog is amazing & it's good to see you three for once 👍 The best yet 👏Your explanation & vocals is always so clear & precise 👏 Perfect! Good on ya lads keep up the excellent work & take care 🤗
Great video guys ,I’d only just discovered this ghost ship and started looking for more about it. 👍🏻
I found watching this video absolutely fascinating. So I have liked and subscribed to Urbandoned.
It's amazing the ship survived for over a year at sea with no crew or that it wasn't towed and salvaged
A really good narration.
Excellent, and thank you. Ava. Ault
I understand why it’s still there but still very odd. Great video, thanks for sharing guys 😀
Fantastic Ghost Ship well done lads.
This was awesome. But trainers guys! 😐 But amazing content, glad you're all safe.
Brilliant video,well done Fellas👌
Can't beat footage from the Drone.
Amazing video lads also gave ya channel a share to a mate who likes the urbex scene 👌🏻🤗🤗
that looked sketchy but a fun watch cheers guys
Something we would all love to do but just don't have the time or the balls. Thanks, lads, for a real adventure, this is your best yet.
For 'front' read 'bow'
For 'stern' read 'bow'
For 'staff' read 'crew'
For 'rear end' read 'stern'
For 'floor', 'ground' or 'level' read 'deck'
For 'vacation' read 'evacuation'
For 'cabin' read 'bridge'
Only just got too see this one
Excellent my favourite
I think some times guys you need some
Safety gear
Great video. Very dangerous but great vdieo.
great video. sorry lads that ye had to see it burnt. For some reason in Ireland we burn anything that is left abandoned. 🙄
What an adventure. After watching this I was drained, one of or at least your most challenging videos to date. Well done, your work is most appreciated.
Crazy how fast a ship can deteriorate getting pounded by the sea.
Amazing guys 👌

It looks like you had a great time
Bow -> front. Stern -> rear end. Cabin 😂 --> Bridge.
I live in East Cork, you captured our area nicely but lads.... this wss very dangerous indeed 😢

Well done lads, one of my favourite explores/vids you have produced.
Proper shady past to the ship i reckon!
Keep up the great work 👍
Getting down is easy. Trying to get back up the cliff, is usually harder.
Isn’t it nice venturing 😂👍
Great video. Someone needs to learn difference between bow and stern though! You was at the bow of the ship, in front of the bridge. Not at the stern or back of the ship. Great stuff tho lads
Seen it before when it was really foggy it looked so cool

it didn't drift apart, the centre section basically was punched and ripped right off by the waves
Weird how the inner decks all broke across the same section though.
@@CycolacFan Thats where the empty hold was so the weakest part of the ship - not much to break off that part of the ship because of that and the bits are lying beside the ship on the shore side by the looks of it.
@@williamwoods8022 makes sense, once water puts pressure against a flat wall of metal it can obviously tear it, just so strange how it looked like a giant saw cut it straight down.
@@CycolacFan loars of pictures and videos to prove it, when the tide is out on a calm day, you can see the sheet metal on the rocks
Hope you guys checked for ticks after walking through all that bracken! 🌿🕷😬
I was lucky to get on board for a look before there was much stolen and she was still in one piece. I remember seeing 3 really big bras on a floor somewhere in the living quarters and imagined they probably belonged to some old dinner lady long ago 😅
I visited a couple days before it split. Hopefully it'll get dragged out and become one with the cold water coral. :)
It would be a miracle, if ship returned to Greece back to departure port. 😀
Nice cool vid 👌🏻
How did the middle split so cleanly. And where did it go?
Bow 🤔😂 Great video 👏👏👏👏
I have been there, very interesting.
25:16 Wheelhouse and bridge. Aluminium wheelhouse. Fire got hot enough to melt it.
