Well. He was under house arrest for quite a while, pending the investigation. Which had already revealed that he had had a girlfriend with him on the bridge. House arrest. With his wife. I take it that prison would have come as a relief.
Why? It was an accident, and you think he deserves harsh prison time for cowardice? Our police aren't responsible for our safety. Yet a civilian captain is? I think his sentence was fair.
@@kewlztertc5386 He wrecklessly went too close to shore with a giant ship. He was impressing some woman in the cabin with his 'maneuvers'. Probably not the only maneuvers he was planning that evening. Instead of taking command of the evacuation to save passengers and crew, he got out in an early lifeboat. No idea if the woman he was trying to impress also got out in the same life boat, my guess is not. So, tell me you are a fellow psychopath without telling me you are a psychopath, I'm all ears
I`m surprised that the HMT Lancastria didn`t get a mention here. At 4 to 6000 casualties it didn`t have as many as the Wilhelm Gustloff but it was lost in a similar manner and it`s the UK`s worst maritime disaster tn terms of fatalities.
@@AbelMcTalisker Yes your right . I'd forgotten about her. Also it needs to be said that Churchill slapped a " D" notice on the sinking that is still in effect today. The total story will not be released until long after we have passed. Leaving us with the question WHY???
Agreed. They talk about a ship during the "Sweet Topic" portion of the video and never bother to give the name of the ship. They have the wrong name displayed when talking about the SS Eastland, pronounce the captain of the Costa Concordia's name wrong (they got it right the first time, then kept saying it wrong after that), among other things. You can just tell this is extremely poorly researched, as well as clickbait, as most of these aren't actually worse than the Titanic disaster.
The rocks in Barfleur Harbour that the White Ship hit may have been "uncharted" but they were well known about. All mariners using Barfleur knew to avoid them. The captain and crew were drunk. The young prince and his cronies were partying, and they got the sailors (and captain) to join in. The crew were too busy drinking to do their job. There were only two survivors initially clinging to a mast. One butcher, and an aristocrat from the court, dressed in fine silk. After several hours of being wet in near freezing conditions, the courtier died of exposure. Silk has no insulation properties. The butcher was finally washed up on shore, where he was found. He recovered and was the only survivor. He was wearing cheap thick woollen clothes. Wool, even when wet, has insulation properties.( Sheep can survive on hillsides in the snow and rain.) It turned out that the butcher wasn't even a passenger on the ship. He'd only boarded because he was pursuing some young courtiers who owed him money for meat they had ordered but never paid for. The ship had set sail with him still on board. He survived. They all drowned. Rich people, eh ? They've always been the same.
'Ask a Mortician' does a really comprehensive video on the Essex and what happened over those months stuck at sea, and it is truly gruesome. It is MUCH worse than the Titanic. Maybe not in the shear number of victims, but the manner of death or near death. If I had to choose? I'm picking a quick cold death in the north Atlantic, over the slow starvation, cannibalism, and sun exposure for months in the south pacific.
@@cronocide It was 852 people who died, in the sinking of MS Estonia. 138 out of the 989 people onboard was rescued from the ship, but one of them died at hospital from their injuries afterwards, so only 137 survived. MS Estonia was built to carry 2000 passengers, so it could had been an even bigger disaster, if there was more people onboard. I serioulsy wonder, how many passenger ships there are, which are even meant to carry 10k people. It is unusual that hundreds of people die in a single ship disaster, let alone thousands. At least in peacetime. I am Swedish, and I was a kid when Estonia sank. I still remember today, that it was a big deal here in Sweden.
The Eastland was a horror story awaiting victims. There were 100’s of women and children drowned when the poorly ballasted ship rolled over at the pier. Over 1000 people were downstairs, and the stairwells were completely inadequate to handle a rush of such magnitude. There is a terrific video on TH-cam detailing the disaster. Official count was over 1000, but it was lowered to make the numbers ‘manageable.’ The Chicago River was disgustingly polluted. It was a horrible tragedy. One family of 11 was obliterated!
Recently a ferry sank, and it was being loaded even as it listed badly. I said "did they learn nothing from the Eastland disaster? Same thing. Never board a vessel that's struggling before it even leaves.
Anything sunk in wartime due to enemy action hardly qualifies as an "accidental occurrence" The "Indianapolis" and the "Wilhelm Gustlov" do not belong on this list. And just what was the name of the passenger vessel that sank on fire that you showed us an artists rendition of, mentioned that it had been photographed underwater, but didn't once tell us what its name was, or where it sank or even WHY it caught fire! This video was rather roughly put together
Sorry, the USS Indianapolis, was on a top secret mission, on her return trip, after delivering one of the Atomic Bombs. She never did get off a SOS. And was only found by said aircraft. Even though she was four days over due. No one thought too much about that. Check your facts.
2:07 And not a single word about how it partially served as inspiration for Herman Melville's Moby Dick ?! (the other parts being Melville's personnel experience aboard the Acushnet and the albino Whale "Mocha Dick")
I have to wonder if they didn't teach maritime history in school, to protect the shipping/cruising industries? Because we were taught *nothing.* Schottino's companion; "Oooh, I'm with the Captain!" Then "ew, I was with that Captain!" Both the Eastland and the La Joola were already listing as passengers were boarding! Never board a vessel that's struggling at the dock. You can't get a more clear warning. 🌹⚓
The much publicised hubris surrounding the Titanic disaster was caused by the media at the time. Neither the White Star line, nor the yard that built it ever claimed Titanic was unsinkable, but the media then were as sensationalist as they are today.
I always thought we remembered it because it was its maiden voyage and that people said it broke in into 2 pieces, so we wanted to find it to find out what actually happened.
My great grandfather was Albert Horswill, titanic crewman and survivor-titanic has been overly romanticized by movies and media- there are so many wrecks that no one researches or is even aware of.
@@Ianhatchlius Other ships also sank on their maiden voyage. Other ships also broke into pieces. What sets the Titanic apart is how thoroughly everyone believed that Titanic couldn't sink, then it sank. That's hubris.
The story of The Titanic is basically a warning to the world that if the stuff really does hit the fan us plebs are going down with the ship whilst the ups roll out in the lifeboats!!
I believe there is more to the story of USS Indianapolis and the need for secrecy. She was returning from delivering a special cargo to Tinian; the Little Man and Big Boy atomic weapons used against Japan. Regards
The moral to most of those - don't overload your vessel beyond its capacity. There are many other wrecks of course, the 1629 _Batavia_ (Dutch East India Company), murders, mutiny. Or the British East-Indiaman the _Halsewell_ (1786), it seems likely that the captain was probably drunk, as were many crew. He went down with the ship, as well as his two daughters aboard (who were likely being taken to India to 'find a suitable husband'). Another which wasn't a wreck, but massive loss of life (which stands alone in maritime horror) was the slaver the _Zong_ (1781) whereby 130 persons captured/transported as slaves were thrown overboard. That one was not as it seemed (although I cannot prove it), but odds are the massacre was not at the command of the captain (his maiden voyage) but a former captain that was traveling with them (who had a reputation for being a b*stard). As for the one covered, the _Costa Concordia_ that the captain got a mere 16 years for 32 deaths was an utter miscarriage of justice, it should have been 160 years. Outrageous.
Canada's worst maritime disaster during peace time is the Empress of Ireland. It collided with another ship in thick fog, and sank in the Saint Lawrence River in 1914. Of the 1,477 people on board 1,012 lost their lives.
There were peacetime sinkings then there were those lost in war. Collectively the Japanese lost well over 10,000 of their navy in the massive naval fleet. Two other German evacuation ships both had 5,000 evacuees on board. Goya was one
The General Slocum (1902) was the worst disaster in New York until 9-11!! There were 1,300 passengers-mostly children-and in 20 min, 1,021 were killed!! The Captain, crew and owners should have been arrested. Imagine putting a life jacket on your child and toss them into the water for safety to watch them sink and drown because, instead of 5’lbs of cork, the owners saved money and put in 5 lbs of iron! Plus everyone wearing wool coats back then that made extremely heavy when in the water!!
What about the South Korean ferry MV Sewol that was overloaded and listed then capsized while passengers were instructed to stay in their cabins below deck so the listing wouldn't get worse. Even worse the coast guard failed to mobilize response to the sinking ferry so most passengers died and the cargo & cars were lost.
So what's the Sweet Topic? ---- what ship was that? What was it's name? How long ago did it sink? -----or is it just made up? I didn't quite catch that.
The video clips are remarkably random and anachronistic. And the MV Wilhelm Gustloff isn't "one of the largest losses of life in a sinking", it is THE largest loss of life in a sinking. Nothing else is even close.
Yes should be known. Someone needs to pay for the overcrowding of these ships. That was terrible the one had 6 and a half times more people then it should have!
Sharks werent as to blame as people would have you think with the Indy. Most of the sailors died due to drinking the seawater then dying due to fighting with each other or hallucinating due to the dehydration caused by drinking saltwater. Sharks were just doing what any predator in that situation would. The main kicker being that Japan were only a few days away from going to the peace table even without the bombs being dropped as they would rather surrender to the yanks than the ruskies who were motoring through manchuria at an alarming rate.
Its crazy how little attention to detail there is in parts of this video! Story Number 4 presents the wreck of the "White Ship", a Viking style longboat wrecked crossing the Channel to England in 1120AD. At 17:20 we are correctly told that the captain of this12th Century vessel was Thomas FitzStephen. But the portrait accompanying this Norman longboat captain is actually Stephen Hewson's "Portrait of an East India Company Captain" from the 1790s ... nearly SEVEN CENTURIES later, and from a totally different part of the planet!! 😂😂😂
I love all your videos and I just watched ship sinkings greater than the Titanic and I have one more recent in 2014 add Seoul South Korea over 300 students were on a boat that capsized because of crew error and only about 125 survived and if you would do a story on that
The preposterous lies told against Germany, are legend. The Wilhelm Gustloff, is by far the worst maritime disaster ever. In terms of lives. It remains politically expedient, to ignore these facts.
😅The Titanic captures our attention from other more deadly sinkings because it took so long and stayed upright, with the lights on for most of it. From The Empress of Ireland, to the Lusitania and others, they all rolled over and went down fairly quickly. The Titans hit the ice at 11:40 and sank at 2:20. For most of that time the sho was by degree habitable do everyone can imagine a moment when they are there.
Some of this is BS. @18:38 - that's a relatively modern ship - certainly not one from 1876. Sweet topic: No date, no ship name, no location - that adds up to a totally fictional event. @14:56 - "SS Eastland" is captioned "Le Joula". Oops. Again. You'd be a lot more believable if you didn't make such stupid mistakes.
The eesex, what happens when nature strikes back. You would do the same if someone was hunting you. What's interesting is they avoided the island for fear of cannibals, then chowed on each other 😮
Actually, they did stop on the island and loaded up the boats with more 'supplies'. They just didn't *stay* on the island for fear of cannibals. (Bad reporting here) Though one crewman *did* stay. And he survived just fine. No cannibals, just missionaries. ETA: Ask a Mortician does a great deep dive on what happened to the Essex and her crew.
Everyone talks about the astriod that wiped out the dinosaurs but no one talks about the largest asteroid that hit earth know as the Shiva crater more than 3 times the size that wiped out the dinosaurs
Remember in the movie “Josey Wales” how the union treated the surrendering confederate soldiers? This captain “mason” was doing what that red leg union officer did .. crammed as many confederates on board as he could.. then blew up the ship. Sure it was an accident.
The Costa Concordia captain would deserve life in prison without parole, the goddamn coward.
Well. He was under house arrest for quite a while, pending the investigation. Which had already revealed that he had had a girlfriend with him on the bridge.
House arrest.
With his wife.
I take it that prison would have come as a relief.
16 years for 32 deaths? Just 2 years per death. They missed a zero, should have been 160 years for the cowardly narcissist/psychopath.
Why?

Crazy how the Essex crew wanted to avoid an island believed to be filled with cannibals and yet they themselves turned cannibalism just to survive.

16:43 Didn’t the Eastland have fake life jackets & life preservers . That were all stuffed w/sawdust and/or nailed to the ship.
I thought that was the General Slocum that sank in the East River in 1904. Over 1000 dead, mostly women and children.
REALLY?
I believe that the sweet topic ship was the MTS Oceanos.
Some of this is BS. @18:38 - that's a relatively modern ship - certainly not one from 1876.
Sweet topic: No date, no ship name, no location - that adds up to a totally fictional event.
@14:56 - "SS Eastland" is captioned "Le Joula". Oops. Again.
You'd be a lot more believable if you didn't make such stupid mistakes.
you left out the sinking of the Empress of Irland
Did anyone catch that the photo of the lifeboat in the Central America segment was actually of a titanic lifeboat?
Essex - deserved - their prey fought back, and won.
The eesex, what happens when nature strikes back. You would do the same if someone was hunting you. What's interesting is they avoided the island for fear of cannibals, then chowed on each other 😮
Actually, they did stop on the island and loaded up the boats with more 'supplies'. They just didn't *stay* on the island for fear of cannibals. (Bad reporting here) Though one crewman *did* stay. And he survived just fine. No cannibals, just missionaries.
ETA: Ask a Mortician does a great deep dive on what happened to the Essex and her crew.
@toxicginger9936 thanks for the info.i shoulda remembered that from a movie/ documentary I watched 👀
M V Sewol was another tragic one, lots and -lots- of dead kids :( Governmental corruption, incompetence and gross negligence at its 'finest'
Just a friendly FYI, Costa Concordias captain's name is pronounced SKA-tino.
So..what ship was the "sweet topic"? I would LOVE to know the answer. Makes it a lot easier to "talk about it"..js
Everyone talks about the astriod that wiped out the dinosaurs but no one talks about the largest asteroid that hit earth know as the Shiva crater more than 3 times the size that wiped out the dinosaurs
Er . . . ?
And that has what to do with ship wrecks?
Why wasn't The Gustlov NOT number 1?
What about the Empress of Ireland, the SS Admella? Many others. Some of the footage here was just unrelated
LUSITANIA, 1915.
Quite the assortment of ships in the video clips, some totally irrelevant to the dialog and times of the events
check out steamship ORIA carrying 4000+ italian prisoners of war in german custody ,,sunk by storm in ww2 close to Lavrio, with only a few survivors
Remember in the movie “Josey Wales” how the union treated the surrendering confederate soldiers?
This captain “mason” was doing what that red leg union officer did .. crammed as many confederates on board as he could.. then blew up the ship. Sure it was an accident.
Glad the whale fought back and sunk the ship!!
14:00 never names the ship which is used in the title.
Uhh at 14:55 you name a ship but the wording on the screen does not match? SS Eastland not Le Joula?
