Missing Cargo Ship Found at the Bottom of the Ocean

The Voyage started just like any other the cargo ship SS Cotopaxi is making

another journey to Havana Cuba to deliver coal it's November 29th

1925 for Captain Meyer and his crew leaving Charleston port South Carolina

it will be the last trip the ship ever makes its route ran through the Bermuda

Triangle 2 days into the trip the Cotopaxi sent out a distress signal it

had got CAU up in a strong tropical storm and turned over on its side the

wind was very strong and there was powerful lightning as well rain gradually filled the ship's hole then

there was a bright white Flash and the ship disappeared Without a Trace later

its wreckage was found in the GOI desert which is in a completely different part of the world all 32 crew members

including the captain were missing of course the part about the GOI desert is fictional for one of his

movies Steven Spielberg came up with the idea that the ship was moved there by aliens still in real life the ship was

never found and its crew really did disappear it was officially declared

missing a month afterward and nobody could find the wreck it seems like a classic case of

mysterious things going on in the Bermuda Triangle but most Mysteries are solved sooner or later in 2020 the

Cotopaxi was found a man named Michael Barnett had moved to Florida to study

shipwrecks off the coast one wreck in particular really caught his attention

it was much larger than the others and the locals called it the bear R it was

about 40 mi from St Augustine in Northern Florida but no one had ever managed to identify the rusty Hull so

Michael started to do some detective work he measured the size of the Shipwreck and started working through

all the information he could find he researched hundreds of old newspapers leth through Insurance records and

looked at artifacts found on the wreck after hundreds of hours of hard work

Michael was sure it was the Cotopaxi but a few years before there had been a

rumor that the same ship had been found off the coast of Cuba the Coast Guard found the wreck of a cargo ship about

the same size that looked a lot like the one lost in 1925 Michael was sure they were wrong so he

teamed up with some science journalists and kept investigating soon they discovered

something that seemed to confirm Michael's belief divers found brass valves with the letters SV on them in

the wreckage of the ship Michael suggested these initials referred to Scott valve Manufacturing Company the

headquarters of this company was in Michigan not far from where the Cod of paxi had been built the company had

probably supplied parts for the the Cotopaxi so the puzzle seemed to be solved the bear wreck was really the

missing cargo ship but Michael still needed to work out why the ship had sunk

did something mysterious really happen to the Cotopaxi in the Bermuda Triangle later Michael found the

testimony of the ship's Carpenter among some old papers the carpenter claimed that the hatches covering the coal on

the ship had been in a terrible condition before it sank repair work on the covers wasn't finished before the

crew got the order to sail to Cuba so if the hatch covers were still broken during the trip water could have easily

gotten on board this water probably flooded the whole during the tropical storm this was the real reason why the

Cotopaxi went down there was really nothing mysterious about it it was just

a mistake made by Ordinary People but this is just one example out of dozens

or even hundreds where ships and planes have gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle we still can't explain some of

these incidents it seems like there really is something weird going on

there one of these strange events happened in 1948 a passenger jet was headed for

Miami from San Juan Puerto Rico it disappeared in the same area as the kotap paxi the 32 people on board

vanished without a trace the weather was clear throughout the flight but experts

think that when the plane was about 50 mi from the coast it could have been hit by a strong wind that knocked it off

course years later a similar plane was found in the area of the Bermuda Triangle but because no one could work

out the registration it was impossible to say for sure if it was the same

one something even stranger occurred not long before in 1945 five planes went missing all at the

same time some training Pilots were practicing their navigation skills but

when they' finished it seems they couldn't find their way back home and disappeared many people assume they just

ran out of fuel this seems likely but still the circumstances were really

strange the trainees were being supervised by an experienced pilot who had 2,500 hours of flight time he would

never have let a group of newbie Pilots get that far away from their base even now people still debate what could have

happened some insist the pilots ran into something Supernatural out there in the Bermuda Triangle but who

knows and here's another freaky thing that happened there which no expert has been able to explain time travel in 1970

Bruce gnan was flying a plane from Andros Island to the Florida coast when

he was at 11,500 FT a giant Cloud appeared in front of him it kept getting

bigger and bigger and he had no choice but to fly through it as soon as he did

the plane was surrounded by Darkness it was as if the day had turned to night in a split second suddenly Bruce began to

see white flashes of light around him they were so bright that they lit up the entire sky but they weren't lightning

bolts although he couldn't really explain what they were the plane continued through the strange Cloud for

almost a half an hour Bruce noticed that the cloud changed shape during this time

the space around the plane turned into a tunnel then the tunnel started narrowing

Bruce became really tense as he tried to cope with the plane's controls all his instruments and navigation equipment

were going crazy and the electronics stopped working then a white light

appeared at the end of the tunnel just like in the movies the plane escaped the closing Cloud tunnel at the very last

second everything was fine but now Bruce found himself in some white fog he had

no idea where he was then he managed to contact Ground Control he was shocked

when he learned that his plane was already in the airspace above Miami it seemed that something

impossible had happened Bruce was meant to cover a distance of about 250 Mi

during the flight this usually took 1 and 1/2 hours but he had managed it in just 47 minutes almost two times faster

than normal when Bruce landed he went to check the amount of fuel left in the tank it turned out he'd used up a lot

less than the normal amount of fuel as well could there be a logical explanation for the time traveling

plane well records show that a large number of sunspots were detected on the surface of the Sun that day and there

was a strong solar wind this could easily have made the electronics and devices on the plane go crazy but what

about the mysterious Cloud the Florida coast is a place where two large a currents meet one has a high pressure

and the other is a low pressure one this causes a lot of storm clouds in the area but people still debate how Bruce was

able to cover the distance so quickly some people say that some kind of mysterious Dark Energy was involved

others say it was a gravitational anomaly that curved space and time others think that Bruce is just a fraud

we still don't know the truth so is is there really something

Supernatural about the Bermuda Triangle or is it all just coincidences and made

of Stories the truth is that no more planes and ships disappear in the Bermuda Triangle than anywhere else in

the world strange things occur in the cold Waters of Antarctica one of these things

happened to a ship called Jenny it was a small Schooner whose history began in

1822 the boat and its crew set sail and disappeared a year later for 18 years

the ship was considered sunk people forgot about it but in 1840 The Vessel

reminded the world of itself that year the Wailing ship hope

sailed through the Drake channel in Antarctica the crew members noticed a ship among icebergs it was the Schooner

Jenny it was floating slowly in the dark with no signs of Life the captain of The

Hope Mr Brighton gave the order to approach the mysterious vessel they thought it was some creepy ghost ship

but as they came closer they noticed crew members on the deck the sailors of the Hope called out

to them but received no answer this time it became clear that something terrible

had happened to the Jenny when Brighton boarded he realized that the Jenny crew

members weren't missing they were here Frozen people stood like statues

Brighton went down to the lower deck and found the captain he was sitting Frozen

at the table holding a pen Brighton looked at the log book The

Last record was made on May 4th 1823 the captain wrote that he was The

Only Living member of the crew they spent 71 days without food it seemed

that the ship got lost in the sea because its Captain went off course or sailed into an iceberg but no one knew

for sure after that nobody ever saw the Jenny again according to rumors the crew

of The Hope abandoned the Frozen ship and left it to drift in the cold

Waters according to other rumors this whole story is fiction the story of the

Jenny was described in a German magazine in the middle of the 19th century still

there was no further evidence of the ship's existence already in our time Cambridge University decided to explore

the case of the Jenny the researchers discovered that one of the crew members of The Hope who didn't disclose his name

told someone the legend of the Frozen ship someone shared the story with

another guy and it was published in a German magazine called Globus and that's

all there was no other evidence one of the most famous ghost shifts was the Mary Celeste and there's

no doubt about its existence the history of this vessel was documented in court

people wrote about it in newspapers but the most exciting thing is that the ship continued to be used even after 10

people disappeared from its deck the history of the Mary Celeste

began in Canada in 1861 when it was first built the ship

was called the Amazon it changed captains several times and it also hit

hit some rocks the boat was sold bought then sold again repaired and sailed

under the name Mary Celeste in 1872 it had a new captain Benjamin

Briggs he was a decent Brave man with a lot of experience in navigation he had a

beloved wife a daughter and a son when he went on his last Voyage he took his

wife and daughter with him and his son stayed in America in November Of 1872 the Mary Celeste

sailed from the port to New York with 10 people on board and disappeared 8 Days

Later another ship the day gratia also left New York and followed the same

route dea's Captain David Morehouse noticed the Mary Celeste and immediately

realized something was wrong the ship was moving too freely as if no one was

controlling it the captain tried to contact the crew member but no one answered him then together

with other Sailors he climbed aboard the Mary Celeste the ship was in good condition

there was no damage the hold was slightly filled with water but it could be easily pumped out everything seemed

fine but one Lifeboat was missing the crew members valuables were

in their cabins the cargo was in the hold the supplies of water and food were

untouched judging by the records in the log book the ship was caught in a storm

but it was not too strong other ships also sailed through this storm but nothing bad happened to them the last

record was dated November 25th and it claimed that everything was

fine the sails of the Mary Celeste were slightly damaged but perhaps it happened

after the crew had disappeared the whole ship was in excellent condition but what

made the people leave it part of the crew of the de gratia stayed on board the Mary Celeste to bring it to

dry land everything went well they delivered the ship to the closest

port next the captain of the de gratia appeared before the court and told about

what had happened however the prosecutor and the judge didn't want to believe in the story of the Mary Celeste they were

sure the captain got rid of the ship's crew to get money for its cargo according to the maritime law laws of

that time if you found a ghost ship with valuable cargo then a substantial part

of this cargo belonged to you so many people thought that David Morehouse

decided to earn some money this version seemed to be more valid than the one about the mysterious

disappearance of 10 people fortunately no one accused the captain of committing a crime they thanked him for his service

and gave him a monetary reward however his reputation was damaged which greatly

affected his career as many believed he attacked the crew of the Mary

Celeste but even after this terrible case trial and investigation the story

was not over the Mary Celeste was still an expensive and efficient vessel it

sailed several times but then one Captain crashed it into the reefs to get

insurance the court revealed this deception and accused the captain of intentional property

damage the story of the Mary Celeste became famous all over the world people

began to build their theories realistic and not someone believed the ship had

sailed through the Bermuda Triangle but this version was quickly refuted as the

route of the Mary Celeste passed thousands of miles away from the Bermuda region did the Kraken or another giant

monster attack the ship no since the boat was found in almost perfect condition there were no signs of

a struggle one of the most popular versions was that the crew of the Mary Celeste stole some valuable cargo and

sailed to Spain on the rescue boat however those who knew Captain Benjamin

Briggs said he was a good honest man besides he had a son in New York and

Briggs would never leave him a more thorough investigation revealed that a

series of accidental circumstances could have caused The Disappearance of the ship's crew before its last Voyage The

Vessel delivered coal perhaps the pump intended for pumping water got clogged

with coal after that and when the ship got into a storm the hold filled with water and the pump

broke the captain couldn't understand the amount of water because numerous barrels in the cargo hold blocked the

view Benjamin Briggs assumed it was dangerous to stay on the ship during a storm so he evacuated with the

passengers on a Lifeboat perhaps they were close to land and decided to sail there but the storm intensified and

overturned the boat also one record in the log Journal

said that the chronometer was faulty it was a device that helped to determine your location at Sea using longitude

Briggs got lost and didn't know which way to sail the storm was strong and he

couldn't determine whether the ship would sink perhaps Briggs decided to leave the ship in a rescue boat when he

saw the coast of the azors the uniqueness of this Ghost Ship case is that unlike many others you can

investigate it yourself there's a lot of information about the Mary Celeste on the internet there are documentaries and

research articles perhaps you'll be able to notice something that others haven't seen and solve the mystery of The

Disappearance of 10 people they say nothing is ever lost and it's

true let's discover ships Frozen in Time the first one is truly fascinating here

the anti atheria shipwreck it's a Greek trading ship from the first century BCE

it's located on the east side of the Greek island of antia and at the merging point of the Asian and Mediterranean

seas around 2,000 years later in 1900 a group of Greek sponge divers discovered

the wreck they were going to Tunisia yet they were forced to find Shelter From a storm on a nearby Island since they

couldn't go anywhere due to the storm they decided to look for sponges until the weather got calmer one of the divers

discovered the Shipwreck at depths of around 130 ft imagine someone going for a sponge hunt but getting out to the

surface with archaeological Treasures the captain of the sponge booat talked to the Greek officials

about what they had found the officials sent two ships to the wreckage the Salvage operation was successful and

discoveries are now in Greece's National archaeological Museum in Athens the findings included three life-sized

marble horses jewelry coins and hundreds of works of art including a 7ft tall

Colossus statue of Hercules among these Treasures antic CIA AE a bronze statue

of a young man caught more attention because the aph doesn't comply with any familiar iconographic model and there

are no known copies of his type he held a a spherical object in his hand Scholars have different theories of who

that person could be but they are not in a consensus yet more than 70 years later

Jean Eve custo and his team went to the area and recovered hundreds more artifacts and the remains of four people

interestingly they discovered a complex set of interlocking gears capable of predicting the movement of the sun moon

and several planets the mechanism can also show the times of solar and lunar eclipses years into the future think of

this antia mechanism as an early computer calendar you know to plan significant events like agricultural

activities religious rituals and Olympic Games these artifacts found in the antia

wreckage are some of the most important findings in modern archaeology just the anttic athera mechanism itself has

changed our perception of the limits of ancient technology the mechanism has a sophisticated design and was made over a

thousand years ago after all these amazing discoveries experts believe that the wreckage site has remained largely

unexplored and is mostly because of its location and the landscape of the seafloor on which the ship rests the

wreck is too deep for scuba divers but too shallow to use something like a submersible a survey made on the sea

floor in 2012 showed evidence of a second wreck about 800 ft to the South

it's clear that this area has a lot to offer Humanity what would happen if those sponge Hunters didn't go to the

area scientists just found a shipwreck in Antarctica at the bottom of the widell sea 107 years after it sank the

name of the ship was endurance and it was the Lost vessel of Antarctic Explorer sir Ernest

Shackleton scientists who laid eyes on it decades later say it is among the greatest undiscovered shipwrecks ever

that is why they filmed the whole Discovery the video shows the remains of the endurance and proves it is still in

remarkable condition it has been sitting in 10,000 ft of water for over a century

yet it looks like it sank very recently so The Story Goes Like This the ship was

crushed by ice and sank in 1915 Shackleton and his crewm mates had to escape by themselves in small

lifeboats from then on it was all about survival Shackleton imagined to get his crew to safety then the ship sank yes

this is a pretty impressive story but why did scientists prize this

ship firstly shackleton's Imperial trans Antarctic expedition sailed to make the

first land Crossing of Antarctica yes the crew was trapped in ice but the intention was important secondly it's

about the challenge itself of finding the Shipwreck the woodell sea is almost always covered in thick sea ice you know

the same ice that made the endurance sink getting near the presumed sinking location is super hard let alone being

able to conduct research Experts of the modern Expedition team foresaw the time

when the lowest extent of Antarctic sea ice would come using satellite images they realized that the weather was in

their favor to start an expedition Dr John Shears said that they have successfully completed the world's most

difficult shipwreck search fighting against constantly shifting sea ice blizzards and temperatures decreasing to

0.4 de F yesh I can't imagine the worst conditions in Antarctica if these

conditions are in their favor lastly look at this it's Timbers they're very much intact Plus you can read the ship's

name it's still visible Marine archaeologist menson bound says that

this is the finest wooden shipwreck he has ever discovered he has 50 years of career experience so I believe the guy

so how come the wood is not rotten Dr Michelle Taylor a deep sea polar biologist said that there has been

little wood deterioration because the wood munching animals are not in this forestree region of

Antarctica workers of a coal mine in East Serbia discovered three shipwrecks that had been there for at least 1,300

years the largest shipwreck is an ancient Roman Fleet it's around 50 ft long with a flat bottom it's estimated

that the ship could carry a crew of 30 to 35 people looking at its Hull you can see the marks of repairs wow this one

had a lengthy career you know it gives us insight into more than a thousand years ago the two smaller vessels on the

other hand match descriptions of boats used by Slavic groups to attack the Roman Frontier these two have been

discovered under mud and clay in an ancient riverbed apparently in those times there was a Roman base in a place

called vimium City interestingly vium was a provincial capital with an

estimated 40,000 inhabitants in the 4th Century CE for comparison it was even

larger than Pompei the costalat coal mine is a center of hidden gems

archaeologists had found evidence of ancient human and animal activity here before for instance in 2012 experts

found bones of at least five woolly mammoths which went extinct about 10,000

years ago Canadian archaeologists found a ship 150 years after it went missing in the

Canadian Arctic Waters this merchant ship is called HMS investigator it was

purchased in 1848 to search for the Explorer Sir John Franklin's ship that

got lost in the Northwest Passage Expedition so HMS investigator left

Britain in 1850 for this rescue operation the Expedition crew captained

by Robert McClure sailed the investigator into the water he realized that he was in the final leg of the

Northwest Passage the sea route across North America but before he could sail

into the bufr sea the 122 ton ship itself got stuck in the thick ice the

crew spent the winter over the Prince of Wales straight the following summer McClure tried again to sail to the end

of the passage but the ice blocked his way once more here too the crew was

forced to leave the ship he steered the crew into the Bay of Mercy there they were to remain until 1853 when the crew

of the HMS Resolute rescued them imagine a crew of 60 people who had to spend

three Winters in the Arctic without even knowing if they would survive later on the ship was found sitting upright in

about 36 ft of water it was in very good condition Arctic water has prevented the

outer deck of the vessel from deteriorating quickly the outline of the ship and its Timber can be clearly seen

plus archaeologists have uncovered artifacts on land left by the sailors

they had unloaded everything before abandoning the investigator three sailor Graves and one British Naval shipwreck

had also been discovered in the area I wonder what else they could find there wow it's the only place where 1

skeletal shape in the distance as your ship approaches the figure your heart beats faster and then you make out the

details of another vessel abandoned by the looks of it ghost ships do exist and their

Mysteries aren't always solved take MV ho for example it was a wooden vessel

built in 1931 as a luxury yacht it had served well to various people over 20

years before it was bought by a Samoan sailor and became a merchant ship in 1955 though hoy's service came

to an abrupt and mysterious end on October 3rd it set sail for another

trading voyage that should have taken no more than 48 hours delays happened in the sea so when ho didn't arrive on

October 5th as scheduled there was little worry yet but then it failed to

come on the following day to there was no distress signal or any other sign of Ho's presence anywhere between his

departure and arrival points a search and rescue party was dispatched to find

the ship and for 6 days they were scouting the area of nearly 100,000 square mil on October 12th the mission

returned to the base empty-handed Hoy vanished without a

trace it was only a month later that another merchant ship talo noticed the

missing vessel far away from its route drifting in the open sea and listing heavily the Sailor boarded the ship and

found that all of its crew and passengers 25 people total were missing along with all the cargo The Vessel had

been carrying the radio was tuned to the international distress Channel meaning

that the crew had been trying to ask for help but they couldn't reach anyone because the radio cable had been damaged

limiting the range to 2 miles the lifeboats were missing as well

indicating that people on board must have left the ship Unfortunately they seem to have taken the log book with

them leaving the rescue team clueless as to what had happened even today the mystery of MV ho

hasn't been solved yet no one knows where the crew and passengers had gone and what had caused them to

leave SV Carol a Dearing wasn't a ghost ship in the usual sense of the word

there were no sightings of it in the open sea instead it was found on the shore but the circumstances of it

running ground are a puzzle shrouded in mystery Carol a deing was built in 1919

in Maine and it was a large vessel made for commercial voyages unfortunately

despite its large cost of construction it had only served for a year before its last

trip July 19th 1920 the ship was traveling from Puerto

Rico to Rio De Janeiro via Newport News to deliver a cargo of coal it was almost

halfway to the Final Destination when the captain felt seriously ill and the crew turned back to drop him and his son

off and replace the captain The Voyage went without incident but when it came to Barbados in December

to resupply there were strange moods among the crew the first mate didn't

seem to be happy with the new captain no one paid much attention to it back then when they probably should

have the last sighting of Carol a Dearing at Sea was on January 28th 1921

when a light ship noticed it off the coast of North Carolina there was some commotion on the quarter deck of the

ship where the crew were normally not allowed then another vessel cited it but there was already no one on the

decks on January 31st the merchant ship was found hard to ground in the diamond

shes a site notorious for numerous shipwrecks that had been occupying there for

centuries when the search and rescue party boarded the ship they found it abandoned the log and personal

belongings of the crew gone along with the two lifeboats there is still no answer to

what happened on board of Carol a Dearing that January although the most popular version was Mutiny maybe we'll

never find out the truth though SS bimo is perhaps one of the most notable ghost chips in history this

large cargo steamer was built in 1914 in Sweden and plotted its way dutifully

over 16 years trading Provisions for pelts with native tribes of Alaska and

Canada but then on October 1st 1931 bimo got caught in pack eyes at first it

seemed the crew would be able to wait it out and continue on their route because the ship Broke Free in a couple of days

but in less than a week it became caught again this time for good in another week a rescue party was

sent to fetch 22 of the bismo crew while another 15 remained behind to wait

through the winter if necessary and get the ship back but a month later after a

powerful blizzard struck their Camp the sailors went out of their shelters only to find the ship gone luckily a few days

later a native Hunter told them bimo hadn't been lost yet he'd seen it about

45 mil from where they had been stationed they managed to track it down but decided the ship wouldn't survive

the winter so they took the most valuable cargo from its hold and abandoned it they were wrong though SS

bimo did survive that winter and and many more that followed when the ice broke it sailed away on its own drifting

listlessly along the shores of Canada and Alaska there were numerous sightings of the Ghost Ship sometimes a drift in

the open sea and at other times stuck in the pack ice again people attempted to board and Salvage it but weather

conditions or lack of equipment always prevented them SS bimo was last cited by native

alaskans in 1969 38 years after its abandonment what became of it later remains

unknown the story of ss or maidan is one of the most puzzling and harrowing Ghost

Ship stories of the 20th century No one even knows for sure if the ship even

existed in the first place it wasn't recorded in Lloyd's shipping the International Register of ships which

makes it either a tall taale or a vessel that avoided being officially recognized for some shady

reasons in any case the accounts as to what happened to the maidan Barry

according to most reports it was carrying some unknown Cargo in the Indonesian Waters when a distress call

was received by another ship in the vicinity the officer on duty heard an SOS message but its contents are

different depending on the accounts the message did not repeat and the crew of maidan didn't answer to any

attempts to contact it back the ship that received the distress call hurried to the rescue but they only reached the

vessel the following day when it was already drifting and slightly listing when The Rescuers boarded the

ship they found that none of the crew had survived however one Lifeboat was

missing which implied that there was at least one crew member who managed to escape what happened to the rest of the

people on board remains a mystery to this day still there are no hard facts

about this story so we might never find out whether SS or rang Mayan was actually a ship and not a thing of

fiction SV zabina was a three mast sailing barge built in 1873 for River trade ships in

South America she served for well over four decades proving to be a sturdy and

reliable ship it was later transferred to Europe where it continued serving its

purpose well but then in October 1917 zabina set sail on a regular Voyage

only to be found ashore several days later mysteriously although the ship was

perfectly intact the entire crew of five and the captain were gone there is no direct evidence or hard

facts as to what really happened that day the most convincing theory is that the crew were washed away from the deck

because of an underwater explosion and then the ship sailed ahead without them but the truth as always

remains unknown the moon shines brightly and illuminates the Black Water of the ocean

thick fog descend ends on it in ominous silence then it's suddenly broken by the

creaking of wooden boards followed by a Rippling of the Waves through the fog

you see the outline of an old large ship its Hull is Rusty and a strange cold is

coming from it but the most unsettling thing is that there's no one on the deck

the Ship Sails without a crew no this isn't a mythical Flying Dutchman but a

very real Ghost Ship September 2nd 2019 the British Royal Navy's Ice Patrol

ship called the HMS protector sails through the calm Waters of the Atlantic Ocean the time is 11:00 p.m. some of the

ship's crew are on Deck While others are sleeping in their cabins the captain steers the ship and looks straight at

the Horizon the sky is lit up by an orange Twilight and clouds float in the

distance suddenly against this beautiful landscape one of the sailors notices the black

silhouette of an unknown ship the captain slows down and steers the ship a

little closer to the mysterious vessel this is an old cargo ship 250 ft long

attempts to contact the crew members lead to nothing it seems the unknown

boat is floating in the ocean by itself there's no one on board at least no one

alive the deck of the ship Creeks from rocking on the waves the sun sinks below

the Horizon and it gets dark the ship looks terrifying British Sailors don't

dare to climb on that strange deck they take a photo post it on the internet and

sail away many people on the internet will assume the sailors met a real ghost

ship 5 months later we're in the village of Bal cotton in County Cork Ireland a

local leaves the house of early in the morning to go for a daily Run music in his headphones fresh cool air and a

scenic route are ideal conditions for a good workout the jogger runs along the

road on the coast of the Celtic Sea there was a strong storm last night and now the sea looks calm the man runs

along the top of a low cliff and notices a huge vessel an old rusty cargo ship

250 ft long lies on the beach right among the rocks

no people on board it seems the ship has been here for ages but the local is sure

this vessel wasn't here yesterday a little later it turns out this is the

same ship that the sailors from the HMS protector saw 5 months ago thousands of

miles from this place the cargo ship called the Ala was built in

1976 nobody knows who used it all this time and for what purposes

it's only known that in 2017 the ship was purchased by a new owner and marked with the flag of

Tanzania it's important to say that almost all cargo ships are equipped with AIS automatic identification system

which is needed to track ship movements in the ocean since 2015 something strange started happening

with the altas AIS the ship disappeared from the satellites then reappeared

again over the past last few years this ship had changed several names and flags

it's not surprising that its AIS shut off and turned on numerous times it's

said that some of those who disable AIS on their ships do so to hide Outlaw

activities the ship's Captain whoever it was clearly didn't want to show the ala's movements as AIS showed in 2017

the ship had sailed near Greek port cities the Ala made 12 stops in three

such cities in different parts of Greece then the AIS signal disappeared and 10

months later the Ulta reappeared near the northern coast of Africa 1200 M from

Greece in September of 2018 the ship was sailing about 1,400 M southeast of

Bermuda and at that time the crew members started having problems there

were 10 people on board the Alta on September 19th the ship's engine failed nailed right in the middle of the

Atlantic Ocean the nearest shore was very far away the ship began to drift as

days passed the crew couldn't fix the vessel Food Supplies were running low

the crew started to panic and tried to contact someone the situation got worse

as a strong hurricane was approaching the place where the ship broke down crew members contacted the US Coast Guard on

October 2nd a helicopter headed towards the ship food and water were unloaded on

the Ala this was enough for the crew to bide their time for several days about a

week later a rescue boat sailed about 1500 mil to reach the altta and help the

stranded Sailors shortly before the start of the hurricane American Rescuers

succeeded the entire crew of the wrecked ship was taken to Puerto Rico the Ala remained drifting in the

ocean after a while another ship arrived to tow it to the coast of Guana then

something went wrong again the ship was hijacked who did it and why remains a

mystery to this day but then for some unknown reason the thieves decided to

abandon the ship and left it to drift in the ocean for almost a year the ship's

location couldn't be tracked then in September 2019 The Vessel was found by

the British royal Navy how the Ala was able to cover the distance across the Atlantic and wash up on the coast of

Ireland is unknown an investigation has been launched in Ireland it's necessary

to identify the owner of the vessel and find a responsible person to take on the task of Towing it but no one has since

been found once an unknown person called the Irish authorities and introduced

themselves as the owner of the ship but didn't provide any evidence several barrels of oil were

found on board the Ulta to dismantle the ship ship the Irish authorities will need to spend about 10

million local residents are annoyed by the wreck too corroding metal is bad for

the environment and kids have already snuck on board and posted a video on the internet from inside the abandoned ship

the further fate of the Ala remains unresolved it's still lying there that

ship sailed in the ocean for Just 2 years now imagine if some other managed

to drift for 38 in all that time no one could catch the ship and people still

seek it that vessel is called the SS bimo it was a merchant ship owned by a

Canadian Trading Company in 1931 the ship got stuck in ice off the coast of

Alaska a strong snowstorm began the team waited a week for it to end but the

storm only intensified one day the weather improved a bit and part of the team was evacuated

to the nearest city another part of the crew with the captain set up camp near the ship the storm started again and

didn't stop for a long time the blizzard was so heavy that the ship's Captain

couldn't see beyond his Arm's Reach finally when the storm was over the

captain saw that the ship simply vanished he decided the bimo sank during

the storm a week later the ship was found drifting near the place where it was lost the hull of the ship was

damaged so badly that it was unsafe to sail on it the captain decided to aband

in the ship however it didn't sink for the next 38 years it was drifting at

various points along the Alaskan Coast several times people climbed on the ship

including Native Alaskan residents and a group of researchers attempts to save the vessel from the sea ended in Failure

the Salvage operations were hampered by drifting ice and bad weather the last

time it was seen was in 1969 the ship was frozen and blocked by

the ice in 2006 the government created a special project to find the beima

however in all these years the ship still hasn't been found its fate is

unknown it's likely that the ship has finally found peace and is now lying on

the seabed of the Chuck Chi sea

there's a ship drifting somewhere in the ocean without a crew the last time someone saw it was

over 50 years ago it story reminds of that of the Flying Dutchman a ship that's bound to

sail forever and bring disaster to whoever sees it at sea at least the legend says so unlike the Flying

Dutchman the SS Bay chimo was definitely real and built for a German company in

Hamburg and began as an ordinary cargo ship it was trading supplies between

Hamburg and Sweden in the Baltic Sea starting from 1914 it had a strong steam

engine and a hull made of steel a few years later it became British property

then in the 1920s a Canadian company purchased it for around $188,000 a huge amount of money back

then the new owner the Hudson Bay Company was actively using the ship for several years years they would often

send it on voyages from its Home Port in Scotland to Siberia Alaska the Yukon and

the Northwest Territories it also passed through the Panama Canal and even the Suez Canal with fur pelts for sale on

board sometimes it would also transport passengers it had completed nine

successful voyages before this strip of Good Luck came to an end starting from the 1930s SS bimo

would have trouble with ice and storms when it first got trapped in ice in October of 1931 some of the crew managed

to escape to Alaska 15 of 22 Sailors decided to stay with their vessel and

try to save it they had Furs and other valuable cargo worth around $58,000 aboard the company sent them

supplies to survive the winter they set camp near the ship out of the hatches

tarplin and other materials and offloaded the cargo at the end of November a blizzard rushed through the

area and it seemed like it had taken the ship with it the ice platform had survived but the ship Broke Free some of

the crew members were sure it had some but soon after they heard from one of the locals who had spotted their ship

around 45 mil away from their Camp the crew moved on with their lives

and the ship started its Journey as a runaway vessel people would spot SS Bay chimo once a year or so all the way

until 19 65 it was mostly spotted off the coast of Alaska a man going to gnome

with his sled dog along with Prospectors explorers and treasure Hunters all claimed to have seen SS beachim Mo

someone tried to board it and take it to Port but ended up stranded on it for days because of horrible weather others

got luckier and managed to take a whaleboat some furniture and other valuables from The Vessel those who got

close to the ship saw that it was damaged and miss ing the propeller still it stayed afloat without a crew for at

least 38 years and became the longest sailing ghost ship in history in 2006

the Alaskan authorities started a project to solve the mystery of this Ghost Ship of the Arctic and finally

find SS bimo either still above or below the water so far the project has not been a

success SS bimo remains one of the estimated 4,000 ships that have

disappeared appeared off Alaskan shs if the legend of the 17th century

isn't lying this Ghost Ship could be sailing somewhere along the Flying Dutchmen it belonged to the Dutch East

India Company its Captain managed to do the impossible for that time and sailed from Holland to Indonesia in only 3

months they said he was flying over the sea and some evil tongues explained that

he had made a deal with evil forces to achieve that once the ship was sailing back home its captain and crew

disappeared Without a Trace there are many versions of what happened to it one of the first ones said it had tried to

enter port at the Cape of Good Hope got in a terrible storm and sank as there

was no Captain to save it another legent says the captain had refused to obey the skies to let the ship sink during the

storm a scary life form then struck the boat and the crew and it was condemned

to Forever wander without rest many sailors claimed to have spotted the

wandering Dutchman the Duke of York who was to become king of England mentioned having seen it in Australian Waters

right after spotting the ship the man who saw it first fell from the top of the Mast and didn't survive there were

more encounters with this legendary ship up to the middle of the 20th century ships would nearly collide with it as

the Flying Dutchman jumped out of the blue scientists have a more logical explanation for this mystery F Morana

not to be confused with akuna matata now when you're out at Sea on a

hot day and the air is all wavy it feels like when you look at the road on a scorching summer day that's because of

something called atmospheric refraction when light passes through different layers of air with different

temperatures and densities it bends and twists sometimes under certain conditions this bending of light can

create really bizarre optical illusions over the ocean like sightings of the flying d

the F Morana phenomenon can make distant objects appear distorted stretched or even lifted above the Horizon so you can

see a ship far away but because of the way the light is bending it will look like it's floating above the water or

even disappearing and reappearing a fod Morana is most commonly seen in polar

regions especially over large sheets of ice that have a uniform low temperature

but you can see it anywhere even in deserts and over Lakes on hot days

the first stories about ghost ships go all the way back to ancient Greek and Roman mythology one of the most famous

ghost ships in history is the Mary Celeste this Brigantine was traveling from New York City to genua and was

fully stock with Provisions but missing a crew when it was discovered in the Atlantic Ocean in

1872 the crew's personal belongings were also there completely undisturbed the

final entry in your log was made 10 days days earlier we still don't know what happened to its crew and the ship has

inspired many spooky stories and legends the lady laaban was another

legendary Schooner that is believed to have been wrecked off the coast of Kent in the middle of the 18th century the

story tells that the ship's Captain Simon Reed had just got married and took his bride on board for a celebratory

Cruise despite the Superstition that it could bring bad luck they were on their

way to Portugal when the first mate who is also in love with the captain's new wife went mad because of jealousy

attacked another crew member and then took over the wheel and steered the ship straight into the dreaded Goodwin Sands

no one aboard survived and the Schooner is said to reappear as a ghost vessel

every 50 years in present times many vessels become abandoned and turned into ghost

ships intentionally there are thousands of them floating in in US rivers lakes

channels and Coastal Waters some people lose their boats in storms and Other Extreme weather others have to abandon

their boats because maintaining them can cost 10% of the boat's Price Plus

docking a vessel can add up to several thousand every year most boats have been made of fiberglass so an owner can't

just recycle them as scrap metal so once they want to get rid of it they often tie it to a dock and sneak away or leave

it floating far away from the shore or just try to sink it when ghost ships sink in Shallow Waters they can cause

damage to coral reefs mangr marshlands oyster habitats and wetlands plus they

can collide with unsuspecting regular ships and cause real trouble so don't do

that enough [Music] said no matter what happens don't stop

we almost got it two treasure Seekers are digging frozen ground in a cornfield at night it's raining hard lightning is

flashing but these two guys keep working and now the shovel hits something solid

no way a treasure chest they start digging faster and find a piece of a ship's engine what the far from the Seas

and lakes somewhere under the fields of Kansas City they found a giant sunken ship how is this possible now you'll

see some people spend their lives searching for shipwrecks with treasures Underground one of them is Explorer

David Holly he's been looking for such ships far from the Seas rivers and oceans for many years he does this

because he likes the feeling of Adventure the holds of these ships may contain chests of gold Antiques and

artifacts and you can get a lot of money for them David says you don't have to go into the ocean to find a sunken ship

they may be lying in your backyard but why do ships end up buried underground among fields farms and ples

let's find out using the example of Steamboat great white Arabia according to old records the newspaper clippings

this ship had been carrying about 200 tons of treasure before it sank in

1856 many rumors and local Legends said the ship was lying underground a few miles Northeast of Kansas City it was

there because people deliberately altered the riverbed and channels of the Missouri River in the second half of the

19th century they artificially brought the shores closer to each other they

narrowed the river to increase the flow speed so boats could sail much faster in

the 19th century steamboats were the most popular means of transporting passengers and goods before railroads

they extended the Western border across the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and brought supplies to people that's why it

was so important to increase the speed of their movement so on September 5th 1856 Arabia

was sailing along such an to it it came across a snag sticking out of the water

a piece of log quickly flooded the ship fortunately all passengers were evacuated but the steamer and its

Precious Cargo reached the silt bottom of the Missouri River in a few minutes several years had passed

everyone forgot about the vessel during this time the course of the Missouri River had changed but Arabia remained

under the wet Muddy Bottom the soil level above it was getting higher and the ground was losing more moisture

eventually many decades later a cornfield formed above the sunken ship

in the 1980s one farmer owned this area and he had no idea what was hidden in

his territory David Holly carefully studied the history of the sunken ships of the USA he knew that hundreds of

Steamers had gone underwater all over Missouri but most of all he was interested in Arabia as there were

rumors that it was filled with gold and other valuable things the territory of cornfields in Kansas was vast but David

Holly knew how to search properly in 1987 he started working first together

with his brother and father they collected all the clippings from old newspapers they could find they were

looking not only for information about the steamer but also for maps of the Missouri River they tracked its

historical changes checked the dates and identified a large area where the steamer

sank next they used electromagnetic testing and other geological stuff to

study the soil and find the right place they searched for differences in ground moisture and density then they went

through the territory with powerful metal detectors and so by the fall of

1988 they had determined the location of the steamer Arabia was the size of a

football field this gigantic vessel lay 45 ft underground four stories down but

before they started Excavating they had to ask the owner of the cornfield for permission for the farmer this news was

a big surprise he agreed on the condition that the excavations would be completed by spring so that he could sew

a new crop digging a giant ship in winter is much more difficult and

expensive than at other times it includes additional equipment electricity and heating costs the team

Works day and night they finance the excavations out of their own pocket each

invested more than $10,000 and took out a bank loan finally they noticed the

first details of the ship the shovels hit the huge engine boilers and the deck the goal had been

achieved most of the cargo lying inside the sunken ships is covered with rust shells mud and is badly damaged the

contents of Arabia were in excellent condition considering that the ship had sunk 130 years prior Unfortunately they

didn't find the chests of gold still they got several tons of other valuable cargo household it items of people who

lived in the middle of the 19th century it was a time capsule the ship was carrying supplies for hundreds and

thousands of people and all these things were perfectly preserved for example they could clearly see the brand stamp

Goodyear Rubber Company on one rubber shoe the longer the excavations continued the more things David and his

team found in the barrels they found plates from the 19th century they were intact and usable also there were clean

clothes thousands of pairs of shoes harpoons frying pans and

umbrellas the ship was carrying cargo to supply about 16 small

towns yes it's not gold but such artifacts are also precious the contents

of the ship could be worth millions however the crew wasn't going to sell these things they made a museum on the

site of a former Fruit Market in Kansas City if you go there you will immediately feel like you're in a

department store of the 19th century there are thousands of items in good condition even the matches here are dry

enough to light up it took David many years to present the entire collection from the steam

ship he values each of the items and doesn't want to sell them anyone can come here pay for a ticket and find

themselves in the past who knows maybe there's an old ship hidden in your backyard

too geologists found an older vessel in the hot desert of Namibia in

2008 this ship sailed back in the days when pirates scared Sailors on the Seas

and now it's inside a dried up lagoon the ship sailed from Lisbon in 1533 and

disappeared with the crew near a small diamond mining town after almost 500 years the hull had

been badly damaged only the carcass of the ship remained but the treasure hidden inside the vessel stayed intact

they carefully studied the boat for a long time trying not to ruin any it and then 5 days later they found a big old

chest in the hold carefully opening it they found gold coins there thus the

cost of the ship was estimated at about $10 million the exact cause of the Shipwreck

is unknown but experts believe the ship was destroyed by heavy cargo and bad weather it went to the bottom of a

lagoon that later became a desert some find an airplane in their

backyard others discover a ship and one man found a passage to an ancient Secret

City in his house this happened in Turkey in 1963 the owners of the building decided to make repairs he went

to his basement and knocked down the wall to turn this place into a living room and so behind one wall he found a

tunnel leading underground the man thought it was some kind of a secret chamber he went down

there and realized it was something much more than that it was an ancient city 18

floors deep people built it in the Years 780 to 1180 as a refuge from weather disasters and

the invasion of enemies this place also includes many underground tunnels that stretch for several miles in different

directions people could get to the town from different points using secret passages leading to these roads the city

can accommodate about 20,000 residents livestock and tons of food supplies

archaeologists have also found a chapel schools Stables and public kitchens

there it's 2018 you get up early in the morning to go ashore and catch some fish

you come to the spot you were yesterday throw the hook into the sea and wait the float is twitching you've caught some

fish but hey hello why are you doing anything right now you don't care about

the fish you're looking at something in the distance you open your mouth in surprise since you see a huge ship stuck

on a sh it wasn't here yesterday so it got here at night okay it'll probably sail away

sooner or later you fish for a few more hours during this time you observe the ship and notice no movement there is it

empty boats and the coastal service are sailing from the shore to the vessel you decide to check it out too you get in

your old boat and go there the Mist descends to the water making the ship

look creepy the Colossal vessel is Rusty and empty but where is the whole crew

and how did it get there the Coast Guard comes on board they search the hold the

cabins and the upper deck there's someone's stuff some remnants of Food Supplies notebooks and clothes

everything suggests the crew has disappeared for some reason Fishers who noticed the vessel

first didn't see anyone coming down from the board no radio signals were sent to the port and no one reported about the

ship it appeared here from nowhere the only chance to get any information is to

look at the number and name of the vessel this is Sam ratul longi

pb60 the Coast Guard checks the information studies the data of all the country ships and no way one company

built the boat in 2001 in Indonesia people used it to transport heavy loads

across the seas around Asia the ship had been properly operating for 8 years

people were delivering industrial goods to different points in the region but something went

wrong in 2009 Sam ratulangi was sailing near the coast of Taiwan and that's it

there were no further records about it there were no reports in any port everyone thought it must have drowned so

no one had been looking for it for years and then 9 years later it appears

here big and Rusty off the coast of Myanmar without Sailors without fuel an investigation starts

city services are trying to find out the names of all the sailors working on the ship and find clues that would lead to

solving this mystery they also hope the ship owner will appear soon they find two tow ropes on board this means that

some other ship towed samal longi to this place then they identify and find 13

crew members these people say they wanted to reach the factory in Bangladesh to repair Sam ratal longi

another vessel helped tow the ship but then two cables tore off and a storm began no one wanted to stay on board

during such weather so the crew members left it no one knows what the ship has

been doing for the last 9 years and how it was possible without people on

board and here is another much more mysterious ship

story on February 16th 2020 locals found a large cargo ship stuck on a rocky

Shore off the coast of an Irish village the boat looked Rusty with holes in the hull and rotten Parts people hadn't seen

this vessel the day before so it appeared there at night the last time people saw the Ulta

cargo ship was a few months earlier thousands of miles off the coast of Ireland that day the Ala was sailing in

the waters of the Atlantic Ocean another ship the MS protector noticed it Ms

protector crew members tried to contact the ship but received no response the people on board realized that they were

facing an empty vessel and then 5 months later it appeared near the coast of

Ireland there are more questions than answers in this story but we managed to find something out in 2015 the Ala

appeared and disappeared from the radar several times any ship has an internal tracking system so people can track its

route using satellites but Ulta crew members often disabled this system

perhaps they were engaged in some illegal activity anyway in 2017 the ship

often sailed between the ports of Greek Islands then the tracking signal disappeared and appeared only 10 months

later off the coast of North Africa during this time the ship changed several

Flags in September 2018 the Ala was Southeast east of Bermuda and headed for

Haiti then the crew started facing problems first the main engine failed

right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean the ship began to drift several days passed but the crew members weren't

able to repair it they began to run out of food and water supplies the situation got even worse when they found out that

a hurricane was approaching the place fortunately they managed to

contact the US Coast Guard a helicopter flew to the Ala on October 2nd to bring

them some supplies there was enough food for several days then a rescue boat

sailed to the ship it evacuated all the sailors and delivered them to Puerto Rico before the hurricane the Ala had to

drift alone in the ocean after a while another ship approached the Ala to tow it to the

shores of Guana but at this moment everything went wrong someone stole the

boat disabled the tracking system and sailed away in an unknown Direction

after almost a year the MS protector found the empty Alta in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and then 9 months

later the Ship Without a crew sailed to the shores of Ireland how did it manage to travel

across the Atlantic and get to the coast of Ireland it's still a mystery maybe it was just

luck no one else saw the ship all this time it was just covering huge distances

surviving storms who's the captain what happened to the thieves who owns the

ship now one day someone called The Village Administration and introduced themselves as the vessel owner but that

unknown person didn't provide any evidence they found several barrels of oil on the ship which they took away by

helicopter the Ala was rusting corrosion of metal could damage the environment

The Vessel had no commercial value yet it would have taken Millions to get rid of

it there were three three options for what to do leave the ship where it was

tow it into the sea and let it sink or disassemble it for scrap but nature had

its own plans storms and strong waves split the hull into two

parts the altar was drifting without a crew in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean for about 2 years but this is nothing

compared to a ship that was traveling for 38 years the record belongs to the

SS bimo it was a merchant vessel owned by some Trading Company in 1931 the ship found

itself on the ice off the coast of Alaska its movement slowed down a thick layer of ice blocked the ship and a

strong storm only made the situation worse the blizzard was so intense that

the crew members couldn't see anything but a white veil in front of their eyes sailing any further was impossible the

team had to wait for the storm to end they waited for a day two 3 days a week

had passed but the snowstorm was only getting stronger then one day it grew weaker the

crew members split into two teams the first team went to the nearest City the second group along with the captain

stayed on board they set up camp next to the ship and waited for the blizzard which had started again to end there was

Zero visibility and finally one day the storm was over great and now uh wait a minute

but where is the ship the SS bimo just disappeared during the

blizzard the captain was sure that the ship had sunk so he left along with the crew then a week later they saw the

vessel drifting near the area where they had lost it the hull was damaged so severely that it was unsafe to sail on

it repairing the ship would be pointless and expensive so the captain decided to

abandon it he was sure that it would go underwater sooner or later but it stayed

afloat for the next few days the next few months and a few years people had

reported seeing it at various points along the coast of Alaska for 38 years

the last record of the SS bimo is dated 1969 those who saw it claimed the ship

was completely Frozen almost merged with the ice some people planned to start an

expedition to find the ship but all attempts were unsuccessful the vessel is

prob lying somewhere on the deep sea

floor the year was 1865 it was a boom of migration

worldwide with novel places discovered and new settlements created without

planes like we have now a ship was the only way to escape from the old life and

journey towards a new hopefully brighter future so a voyage like that was quite a

regular thing to do more than 500 immigrants safely reached Queensland and

the ship was supposed to head back to London sometime later it was indeed a long journey but not many people were

willing to return to England after all they had chosen to come to Australia to create a brand new life so it was only

natural that the ship would come back nearly empty however the return trip was

still quite lucrative thanks to the cargo the ship would carry the amount of produce ready to be shipped was

substantial primarily consisting of wool soaked in Arsenic Tallow and hides it

was two birds with one stone not only could the crew wait out the winter warm in Australia while England endured

bitter cold but they also wouldn't waste their time with the sheer volume of produce to be loaded it would take them

around 3 months to accomplish this task reports were circulating that the

fiery star was almost done loading up but it turned out that the assessment was a bit too optimistic to pass the

time Captain new thought it would be a good idea to reach out to the acclimatization society and offer to

help transport any animals they wanted to send to England on the fiery star he already had some emus and kangaroos on

board but there was still room the society held a vote and they were

totally on board pun intended with Captain Yule's idea they figured sending some talas would be a great plan even

though a few of these birds were already in England the fr French society needed a couple and they could get them ship

there through England little did the crew know that all this cargo all the produce they were willing to sell in

England would ultimately lead to the ship's destruction Not only was the fiery star lost but most of the people

on board did not survive to complete the voyage March 23rd that was the day when

the ship manifest was finally published a manifest is a list that details the cargo passengers crew of a ship plane or

vehicle primarily for Customs officials this document helps those involved in the transport verify that everyone and

everything that was loaded is still on board when the vehicle reaches its destination once it's published it means

the ship is almost ready to depart there were three possible ways of

Passenger accommodation first there was the saloon the Antiquated name for first

class next there was the second cabin which is logically second class finally

there was the steerage the cheapest form of Passenger accommodation on a ship

back in the 19th and early 20th centuries many people traveled from their homelands often to North America

and Australia looking for a fresh start most of them were poor and had limited

funds for travel in total there were eight people in the saloon another eight

in the second cabin and only 21 steerage passengers out of the 37 passengers only

one John omand would make it out alive he bought a ticket for the steerage so

unlike the Titanic situation in this case the class didn't really matter the crew members list wasn't as

detailed as the passengers it was known that in total there were around 55 people in the crew from able-bodied

seamen to crew members simply called boys but there's something telling me that the crew wasn't really that

important for the captain in reality all that mattered to him was to make as much

money as possible shipping tons of dangerous flammable cargo out of over 50 crew members only

17 survived that Voyage but there was actually one more crew member who actually survived it all just because

they weren't let in Sarah Johnson disguised herself as a man and planned

to sneak onto the ship however something about her looks made the captain get suspicious so he called the police and

made Sarah leave the ship as he didn't want any immoral Behavior to take place

well he saved her life for him it was the last Voyage the captain W Hunter

Yule was quite a celebrity apparently he already had a record of the safe landing of immigrants in the previous year so

there seemingly was no reason to worry the trip promised to be safe Clipper fiery star left Morton Bay

Bound for London the passengers took their places the cargo had already been loaded the full list is

astonishing in addition to all the wool Tallow cotton hides and horns there were

also six cases of aor roote and various other packages and we can't forget the animals the captain took aboard

too the fiery star was far away yet still observable to the east as it

headed toward the Pacific Ocean this was the last information available until May 26th when news of its destruction

emerged from Brisbane chief officer Williams Sergeant's log reveals that the

fiery star took 12 days to reach the southern tip of New Zealand passing on April 11th

1865 the trip was going well until Heavy Seas ruined two longboats on April

17th on this day a strong odor of smoke alerted the captain when he checked he

found the lower hole completely filled with smoke from a fire fueled by the ship's flammable cargo the hatches were

quickly closed to try to contain the Flames but by the next day the Heat and toxic smoke had forced passengers out of

their cabins George maber was one of the lucky survivors he was the ship's engineer and

he recalled the chaotic events on April 20th as Captain Yule and most of the crew and passengers tried to evacuate in

rough weather at around 600 p.m. the ship took on water and without much warning Morning Captain Ule four crew

members and a few female passengers hopped into a Lifeboat and headed out

the next boat managed by the second mate Mr adio was a gig followed by a crowded

Jolly boat lastly there was a waste boat which was barely seaworthy with two men

constantly bailing water to keep it afloat the plan was for the boats to stay close to the fiery Star Overnight

and head for the chattam islands the next morning but by dawn on April 2 first all four boats had vanished

without a trace on the burning ship there were 17 crew members and passenger John Oman who banded together under

chief officer William Sergeant's leadership for five days and nights

George maber pumped water on the fire without rest he volunteered to go down the for hatch with a rope around him and

a handkerchief over his mouth he discovered that the forast had been burned through for about 7 in and the

port side was severely damaged resembling an empty shell exhausted he

returned for fresh air but later descended again with quartermaster Marshall to access a water tank they

couldn't open the lid and as George crawled over the hides he felt himself sinking when they reached the deck they

collapsed from exhaustion the cargo had been destroyed by smoke and fire and the

heat on the deck was intolerable the crew survived on limited rations and caged chickens using every spare piece

of wood including Pig stes for the pumps distressed pigs ran wild in the heat a

raft was constructed but was too weak for the Open Sea sleep was Elusive and

the crew had lost everything with only hopes of reaching land or meeting another

ship finally The Dauntless appeared and sent a Lifeboat to the fiery star

Captain Moore boarded the fiery star on May 12th and after assessing the situation he agreed that the crew could

do no more they boarded The Dauntless at 400 p.m. witnessing the fiery star

succumb To Flames by 11:30 p.m. it was a narrow

Escape as an experienced sailor and the first man to ever sail non-stop on his

own around North and South America Matt Rutherford has seen a lot during his

voyages but what he saw in 2013 while sailing through the water of the Atlantic with his colleague surely

stands out some 800 mil off the coast of Bermuda not far away from the famous

Bermuda Triangle they noticed a boat that seemed to be moving by itself the

sails weren't up and the motor wasn't running the sailors decided to check if

there was someone who needed their help aboard so they moved closer to the mysterious

ship once they got there things only got weird as they realized there wasn't a living

Soul aboard Rutherford started filming to document their Discovery the boat looked

so awfully abandoned that they expected to find some pretty scary things in there but it didn't stop Rutherford from

searching the vessel the boat which turned out to be

named Wolfhound looked like an upscale one probably costing hundreds of thousands of dollars it was pretty weird

to to find it floating by itself in the middle of the ocean it seemed like whoever abandoned

it was leaving in a rush there were clothes and other personal belongings all over the main cabin some parts of

the ceiling had fallen and some drawers had popped open the brave Sailors decided to tow

the Ghost Ship back to Bermuda it wasn't easy because Wolfhound was bigger and

heavier than their boat after days at Sea the crew was running low on fuel and asked a passing

freighter to stop and give them some gas they kept pulling Wolfhound until the

toe line got wrapped around the rudder and they realized they could get stranded in the Bermuda Triangle so they

had to abandon the ship what really happened and how Wolfhound ended up in the middle of the

ocean will probably remain a mystery rumor has it that it belonged to

a member of the royal Irish yach Club the ship was going on its first voyage

from Connecticut to Bermuda and then Antigua it got in a terrible storm

around 400 m away from Delaware the winds were so strong that the yacht

suffered two knockdowns a Greek cargo ship rescued the crew they left the ship with an

emergency beacon on the rescued crew members shared that they saw the ship sink which only adds more questions to

the store how did it get back to the surface does the Bermuda Triangle have

anything to do with that Christopher Columbus himself

reported some unusual Compass activity going on in this mysterious area while

he was on his way to the new world despite the stories of more than

50 ships and 20 planes disappearing in the area it remains one of the most heavily traveled shipping routes in the

world some Skeptics believe that this fact solves the Bermuda Triangle mystery

it could make sense because the busier the area the more accidents happened there but then again it's not the number

of disappearances that makes the place so mysterious it's the lack of explanation and wreckage lost for

good the first ever confirmed ship to vanish in the Bermuda Triangle was the

USS Pickering in 1800 it departed from the US on its way to the West Indies the

ship sailed into the Bermuda Triangle along with its 90 man crew no one ever

heard anything from them ever since the popular explanation is that the ship was

taken out by a storm but because no one found any wreckage we'll never know for

sure the largest ship that has ever disappeared in this mysterious area was

the USS Cyclops in March 1918 carrying a crew of

306 people the USS Cyclops left Barbados and headed home to Baltimore the ship

passed through the Bermuda Triangle on its journey and vanished Into Thin Air

or rather water the Cyclops never sent any distress signal and disappeared without

any explanation or trace the Bermuda Triangle isn't the

only place in the world where ships go missing or mysteriously resurface one of the most famous Ghost

Ship stories would be of ss bimo the large cargo steamer was built in Sweden

on October 1st 1931 it got caught in pack ice the crew decided to wait it out

and manag to break free after a couple of days only to get trapped again in

less than a week this time they didn't manage to make it out

a rescue team went by air to save 22 of the crew members 15 other members stayed

in a wooden shelter they built not far away from the ship their plan was to wait out the winter and get back

aboard at the end of November a strong blizzard was rushing through the area

when it was over be chimo seemed to have gone away with the storm the captain

decided it must have broken and suck but a few days later a local Hunter informed

them that he had seen the ship around 45 M away from their Camp the crew managed

to find the ship and took the most valuable cargo from its hold they had fears that be chimo wouldn't live

through that rough water but it did manage to survive after all once the ice

was gone it floated away and ended up drifting along the shores of Canada and

Alaska many people reported seeing the Ghost Ship in an open sea

some even tried to board it to save the ship but the weather didn't allow it to happen the last time someone saw SS bimo

was in 1969 38 years after its crew had left it

it could still be drifting somewhere in the ocean the story of MV ho happened in the

South Pacific the ship was originally a wooden luxury yacht after serving for 20

years to various owners it became a merchant ship in 1959 it set on a

trading voyage that was supposed to last around 2 days when it didn't reach its destination on time no one was worried

at first as things happened in the open Waters after another day and no distress

signals from the ho it was obvious that something serious was going on with it

there were 25 people aboard and their families wanted to find them a search and rescue crew worked for 6 days

looking for the ship or at least its wreckage in an area of nearly 100,000 square miles that's 1 and a half times

as big as Florida sadly the mission had come back

with no results it seemed like ho had disappeared without a

trace a month later another Merchant shipped noticed ho driving in the ocean

miles and miles away from its original route and none of the crew members or

passengers were on board the cargo had also disappeared the lifeboats were also

gone so the people must have escaped the ship hoping to save themselves it turned out that the crew

had been trying to get help as they tuned the radio to the international distress Channel but the damaged cable didn't let

them send the signal any further than 2 miles it also looked like when they were

leaving the ship the crew took hook the log book with them and we still don't know what exactly happened to Ho family

members of those who were on board are still looking for answers one Professor claims it must have been a corroded pipe

that leaked and flooded The Vessel but we'll most likely never know for

sure in the Pacific Ocean near Japan there is an area nicknamed The Devil sea

it's believed to be one of the 12 vile vortices around the Earth some people

claim that vile vortices have weird things going on in them because the pole of the planet's electromagnetic waves is

stronger there than anywhere else the most famous ship that disappeared in the

area was a fishery Patrol vessel in 1952 the ship went there to investigate

the vessels that went missing previously and disappeared along with 31 crew

members scientists who don't believe it was a mysterious disappearance blame the underwater volcano eruption for what

happened they said it was the most technologically advanced ship they said it was Unsinkable and when it sank they

made a movie about it these were the main reasons why the Titanic disaster became world famous but unfortunately

this is not the only large scale shipwreck and sadly there have been cases much worse than the tragedy of the

Titanic one of them occurred on April 27th

1865 the Sultana Steamboat carried passengers and cargo daily between St

Louis and New Orleans it was a pretty large wooden boat with three decks and was 260 ft long and 70 ft wide almost

twice the size of a basketball court the ship could carry about 350

passengers but on that unfortunate day more than 2,000 people were on it

on April 23rd she was making a routine Voyage from New Orleans when it broke down something was wrong with the boiler

so the vessel docked in Vicksburg for repairs at the Port the ship's Captain

James Cass Mason found out about an excellent opportunity to earn a lot of money all he needed to do was to

transfer a large group of former prisoners to the north the captain agreed to do it but the problem was that

the boiler required a lot of time to repair Mason was afraid that his competitors would take the job so he

decided to sail despite the malfunction the ship had he patched up the holes in the boiler instead of a big repair and

invited all the EX prisoners on board so there was a broken boiler an

excess number of passengers a lack of lifeboats and not the best River conditions also the captain refused to

send the ex prisoners to the hold so they were all with ordinary passengers there were strong chances for a

shipwreck but the greedy desire to earn more money was Stronger the Sultana went on a voyage

and sailed up the river for 2 days at this time one of the biggest Mississippi floods in history began the River

overflowed its Shores because of the flood with the water level rising several feet all the trees on the shore

disappeared and only the tops were sticking out of the water the ship sailed opposite this

powerful current making the boiler work too hard on the evening of April 26th

the Sultana arrived in Memphis Tennessee and they loaded even more 120 tons of

sugar and 200 passengers she got incredibly heavy around midnight the

ship continued its dangerous Journey the captain sailed to barges to load a shipment of

coal at 1:00 a.m. The Vessel left the barge at 2:00 a.m. the broken boiler un

able to withstand the load suddenly exploded the Sultana was just 7 m north

of Memphis few people survived that day the problem was that passengers trying

to escape from the fire jumped into a cold River with a strong

current the Sultana disaster is considered the most tragic shipwreck in the history of the United States the

exact number of those who didn't survive is still unknown according to various sources this number was from 961 to

1,800 people don't be surprised that almost no one knows this story there were many

more survivors in the Titanic tragedy and everybody heard about it but the Sultana sank during one high-profile

event 12 days before the Shipwreck the country lost Abraham Lincoln people

hadn't yet recovered from this news so no one paid much attention to the tragedy of the

Sultana many catastrophes happened quite recently by historical standards one of

them occurred in 2002 the fery Lula was a sanges

vessel the fery sailed twice a week mainly along the coast of Dar carrying

passengers who traded mango and palm oil it made daily voyages and never faced

severe problems thanks to Modern rescue equipment and good repair service but one day the ship's crew

discovered a malfunction and sent the boat to port for almost a year Lula was in a non-working condition

awaiting repairs but it didn't get highquality service after Poor maintenance the fer set off on its last

Voyage on September 26th 2002 Lula sailed between Southern Sagal and dar

and at 11:00 p.m. headed toward Gambia where a strong storm began the wind

raised high waves but this wasn't critical for the large passenger ship unless the number of people on board

didn't exceed the established Norm Lula was supposed to carry about 500

passengers but had many more people that day too many passengers poor repairs and

a strong storm caused severe problems for the ship but the main factor in the

Shipwreck was that Lula was only Built for sailing in coastal Waters but that

day it sailed bu far from the shore big waves started rocking the boat

and at some point it just turned upside down the ship's deck went underwater and

its lower part stuck above the surface like an iceberg all the passengers sitting in cabins fell on the ceiling

and lost their orientation in space there were no holes or damage in

the ship's Hall and water flooded the lower decks for a long time the vessel stood in a Twisted position for several

hours then the boat began to sink when the water seeped through the deck and

hold the ocean was warm but no one came to save the passengers people had to

wait almost 4 days to be rescued unfortunately only a few managed to

survive the Philippines is a very dangerous area for ships this place

consists of several thousand islands and a vast area with shallow water ship can

run ground and damage the hull with reefs and pitfalls on September 20th

1987 one of the most terrible disasters in navigation history occurred there a

Philippine passenger Ferry called Dona Paz left one of the islands and sailed toward Manila the Sun was shining the

ocean was calm and the visibility was good but for some reason the crew members didn't notice how the tanker

Vector was approaching them the two ships coll Ed at low speed

the Collision wasn't strong but the problem was that the vector had tons of oil on board and the Dona PA crashed

into the cargo hold where that oil was stored so it spilled all over the ocean

and then a spark slipped through not only did the two ships catch fire but

also filled with water both ships sank in a matter of seconds only a few dozen

people survived that disaster on September 27th 1854 the

passenger ship Arctic sailed from Liverpool to New York the fog came rolling down and visibility got really

bad another boat appeared out of the thick white Haze the French steamer Vesta the ships were close enough to

each other that a collision was inevitable the French vessel was smaller so it seemed to the arctic's captain

that Vesta had received a lot of damage and while he was staring at the other ship his boat got quickly filled with

water the captain gave the order to sail to the shore as fast as possible but the

ship's engines stopped working because of the flood then the ship's crew started to lower lifeboats with women

and kids still when Rescuers found lifeboats with people it turned out that

only 87 out of 400 people survived 65 crew members and 22 passengers

surprisingly there were only grown men among them the ship's Captain survived by clinging to the

wreckage all newspapers wrote about this story as one of the most terrible and shameful tragedies in navigation history

the survivors were criticized because they didn't save women and kids and the crew members were accused of violating

the law since the safety of passengers should be higher than the safety of sailors but despite this none of them

were brought to responsibility unfortunately shipwrecks still occur to this day but fortunately

there are fewer of them than before thanks to Modern navigation systems and radar but no technology can guarantee

there won't be a super strong storm or any other emergency that no one can

foresee the year was 1854 and the SS Arctic the fastest passenger liner of

its time set out to cross the Atlantic as it sailed through the Misty Veil it

slowly disappeared into the unknown [Music]

the Collins line an American shipping company was started in 1818 and only

began seriously trading in the trans Atlantic by 1835 its steam ships crossed the

Atlantic from Liverpool to New York within just 10 days doesn't sound like a great speed today I know but back then

the same thing took other ships several weeks light on the water with their

wooden hulls powering through with a strong steam engine those steam ships were the favorite choice for many

high-profile people what could go wrong with such an advanced ship they thought

this reminds me of some other ship everyone believed to be Unsinkable but anyway back to the

Collins line it grew to be a serious Contender on transatlantic routes with only one other competitor the cards line

it was a British company also aiming to be the main Force Through the Arctic

Passage in 1835 the company received a new ship that traveled to Liverpool and

came back to New York with the largest cargo ever at that time from then the

Collins line was steadily growing it seems like there would only be future successes for

it unfortunately their lavish ships became costly to run with the amount of

coal used massive power along with weak wooden hulls meant they needed many

repairs after each Voyage so every trip ended up being

expensive but since the ships were safe and had a great reputation people were willing to pay the price and the company

was definitely not in crisis they had achieved something no one had managed to do before them like I told you their

ships crossed the Atlantic in a whopping 10 days and Edward Collins the owner was

very determined to maintain the pace their five ships easily outran the

card's line of only three with this great praise it provided more

attention though the card's ships were slower with their iron hulls they believed there was still profit

regardless of how slowly they sailed among Colin ships the Arctic the

third of them to be launched was the largest reaching 284 ft long with two s

lever steam engines each with 1,000 horsepower the paddle wheels made 16

Revolutions a minute when at full speed at the time of its launch the Press called it the most stupendous vessel

ever constructed in the United States but Glamour and fame couldn't avoid what would come

next on the 27th of September the Arctic was on its Journey from Liverpool to New

York continuing a speed pace through the thick fog it's possible that by that moment after 4 years of record-breaking

trips the crew became overconfident with their sailing and the ship

going only 50 mi from New Finland they carelessly continued through the fog with no radio contact sonar or any other

form of identifying objects equipped only with Morse code a smaller ship the SS Vesta which

operated as a fishing vessel often worked around New Finland it was passing through the same path as the Arctic and

crashed into its side shocked by the Collision the captain of the Arctic offered help to

the much smaller Vesta but it was soon clear that the damage that seemed minor on the Arctic was far

worse beneath the water line a hole was letting water into the Hall the cost of

the much faster wooden hall now seemed less valuable they steered toward land trying to plug the holes but they

weren't doing so well and the sea water continued to pour in filling up higher and pushing the ship

down and finally once the engine room was full it put out the boilers taking

away the massive power the Arctic was once legendary for they moved slowly until coming to a

complete stop the ship continued to sink and the order was to abandon it at the

time maritime law allowed for the Arctic to carry only six lifeboats only capable

of saving 180 people the crew and some of the passengers managed to push their way aboard and took most of the seats on

those boats things were pretty wild and everyone forgot about Their Manners not letting the ladies and the youngest ones

board first it took 4 hours for the Arctic to sink 150 crew and 250 passengers were on

board those that weren't able to find a Lifeboat made a desperate attempt to build their own routes from parts of the

ship 2 Days Later only three boats made it safely to the shore the other three

were never found believe it or not the rescue party also saved some people that

had been clinging to the wreckage for 2 days unlike the crew the captain went

down with the Arctic but amazingly survived he would be only one of 85

people that made it out of the 400 on board when the news arrived 2 weeks

later the public responded with great sadness to the losses great anger soon followed towards the poor safety

measures in the crew the Press published demand to change the laws for more lifeboats it only made sense to have

enough for every person on board a ship but they ignored those requests

this neglect would lead to more disasters in the future enough lifeboats would only come into maritime law some

60 years later after the disaster of the Titanic Edward Collins's wife and two

children were also aboard the ship and didn't return he was heartbroken but

didn't stop running his business the Collins line still had a reputation to uphold the biggest fastest

and most luxurious on the Atlantic Edward Collins would now build an even better ship than any

other it was named the Adriatic and it was the largest ship in the world 354 ft

long with two alternating steam engines that had never been built of this size

these steam engines at the time were at the height of engineering though today you can only see them in models and

toys with the new addition of two masks the Adriatic would also be able to sail

if needed luckily they made some lessons from the disaster of the Arctic but

before their new ship the Adriatic was built another disaster had occurred the

sister ship of the Arctic had also sunk they believe this second ship was

desperate to stay in front of the cards line and hit Iceberg somewhere during the race this weird contest took the

lives of 141 people the desperation of Collins and

his weekly built hulls pushed the company towards bankruptcy in 1858 the

newly built Adriatic costing over $1 million had only made one Voyage in the

end and even that Voyage was considered a disaster the ship collided with a

tugboat it still managed to finish its made Voyage at a suitable

time after the company had gone bankrupt they had to sell the ship for only

$50,000 they removed the great giant engines replacing them with only

sails although it was once the greatest ship on the high seas it was only 30 years later until it was abandoned

labeled irreparable and anchored in a river the other remaining ships were

also sold and only used for parts Edward Collins left the industry altogether

seeking work on dry land [Music] instead as the Collins line was no

longer in the mix the carts would grow in strength without competition they

would win the blue ribbon for the next 30 Years and 180 years later after

producing hundreds of ships they still have a constant presence on the Seas as they provide transatlantic crossings

World voyages and Leisure cruises to this day the Cunard line is the only

one to run ships between Europe and America and it's great proof that it's not always the fastest that's the

best April 1912 marked one of the most terrible tragedies in the history of the

world the most Unsinkable vessel the Pinnacle of engineering at that time the

huge Titanic sank on that dark moonless night the ship had many chances to save

its passengers there was another ship just a few miles away that could have saved the Titanic but it didn't it

wasn't a phantom ship and it's not some legend or a theory this is a documented

reality there are records and Witnesses statements confirming this but why didn't this ship help let's find out

what happened that night by looking at these events from three different points of view let's start with the Titanic

version 11:30 p.m. the moon hides behind black clouds visibility is bad

everything is calm on the Titanic under the captain's Guidance the communications operator stays in touch

with the mainland through the radio at this moment some stranger breaks into the frequency interrupting the

operator's communication it's unclear what this strange man wants and what he's talking about the operator doesn't

try to figure it out he shouts at the guy demanding him to disconnect the connection is interrupted

at 11:40 p.m. the Titanic crashes into an iceberg the ice breaks the hall water

begins to flood the lower decks nobody is panicking yet 20 minutes later at

midnight the ship's crew sends a distress signal through the radio frequency few people understand how bad

the situation really is after 20 minutes at 12:20 a.m. they start lowering

lifeboats with passengers at 12:25 a.m. they receive a response to the distress

signal this is RMS Carpathia their Captain reports they're already sailing

at maximum speed towards the Titanic but the problem is that the crash site is 58

Mi away this means Carpathia will only be here in 4

hours at 12:45 a.m. the sinking ship's Crew release Rockets into the air these

flares are one of the main reasons for the terrible fate of many passengers but more on that later 90 minutes later the

Titanic's deck breaks and the ship Dives underwater at 4:10 a.m. the Carpathia

finally arrives at the Shipwreck location the crew members make heroic efforts to save all the people they take

705 survivors on board at this moment another ship appears it's SS Californian

the Carpathia sails towards the New York coast with all the people the Californian floats in search of

passengers and finds nothing wreckage the ship was only a few miles away while

the Titanic sank into the icy water the Californian could have saved

these people but did nothing its Captain Stanley Lord made one of the most

terrible acts that a sailor can allow he didn't help a sinking ship when the world found out about all

this they detested Captain Lord they couldn't bring charges against him and the trial didn't punish him but his

career was ruined entirely irely as no other ship company would hire him despite this he never confessed he had

been guilty before he passed away the captain said it hadn't been his fault if

this was true then what happened there this brings us to the Californian

version It's the night of April 14th the Californian is sailing in the cold

Waters of the North Atlantic the ship gets into a section with a lot of icebergs at 10:10 p.m. Captain Lord

stops the ship it's too dangerous to move around this area as they can damage the hall at 11:00 p.m. the ship starts

drifting it's impossible to move in such conditions with such poor visibility the

captain knows that the Titanic is coming here so he orders the radio operator to warn the ship about the danger radio

operator Evans turns on the receiver and tries to contact the Titanic he spends

about 30 minutes on it the connection is finally established at this moment the

Titanic radio operator is speaking with the mainland Evans interrupts this conversation and tries to warn the ship

about icebergs the operator doesn't understand Evans words he's annoyed

because Evans broke into the channel so brazenly he shouts at Evans and cuts the

connection tired Evans turns off the receiver and informs his superiors about

the incident it's still a mystery how the captain reacted to this news he probably thought the Titanic knew

about the danger he lets Evans go to bed if Evans hadn't turned off the radio and

waited 1 hour he would have heard a distress signal from the Titanic but you

shouldn't blame him at this point he has no official reason to stay at the transmitter Evans is too exhausted and

can't fight drowsiness so Evans goes to bed the Titanic begins to sink its

Captain sends a distress signal the operator on board the Carpathia catches it but the Californian doesn't

since the receiver is turned off Captain Lord can't sleep he feels that something

is wrong meanwhile the Titanic is rapidly sinking under the water the

captain gives the order to launch rockets into the air and here is where one of the critical mistakes takes place

they release warning lights but they are not red the crew forgot to take Red Rockets on board for some reason so they

lit up the sky with a bright white light if you need to send a distress signal you need to release red lights Captain

Lord sees these lights but doesn't perceive them as a cry for help it can't be that there are no standard Red

Rockets on such a massive ship as the Titanic but unfortunately it can Captain

Lord thinks the Titanic is sailing away perhaps there is some unknown reason

behind those white lights but he doesn't really know so Captain Lord has no idea that the

Titanic is sinking he still decides to contact the ship but this time not

through radio communication Captain Lord doesn't wake up the radio operator and

sends a signal to the Titanic through a signal lamp it's important to understand

that many old school captains didn't take radio communication seriously they didn't understand the value of this

technology that's why Captain Lord doesn't wake up Evans he sends light

signals but the Titanic doesn't respond many survivors later mentioned seeing

the flashing lights of the Californian but there was nothing they could have done the ship's crew doesn't hear their

cries for help at 220 a.m. the Titanic completely goes underwater a little more

than 2 hours later radio operator Evans wakes up and turns the transmitter on he

hears many Rescuers talking about the sunken ship Evans understands everything

he reports this to the captain at that moment the Californian immediately heads to the Rec site they meet Carpathia

there with the survivors on board it sails towards New York The Californians

stay sailing and looking for people they find nothing but wreckage the Californian returns to the

mainland the news about the ship that could have saved the Titanic is spreading all over the country the trial

begins Captain Stanley Lord and the crew tell their version they say their ship

had been standing still many people don't believe them and some of the surviving passengers claim to have seen

the Californian Sailing by still the judge declares them

innocent 1962 Captain Stanley Lord is a very old man he calls a notary to confess

something the captain makes his last remark about this case he swears he's

not guilty but if it wasn't the Californian sailing past the Titanic at that moment

then what the Samson Theory could answer that question for us the ceiling ship

Samson is sailing in the cold Waters of the North Atlantic the crew aren't sleeping they carefully study the

surroundings but not because they're afraid of icebergs they're scared of meeting with the US Coast Guard the

Samson ship's crew catch seals which is illegal at 12:45 a.m. Samson's Captain

sees white signal Rockets the team is sure it's the Coast Guard they turn off

the lights and sail away it's dark so they don't notice the sinking Titanic

they return to the coast of Iceland and hear about the disaster they realize they have abandoned the drowning

passengers the nephew of one of Samson's crew members reads about this story in his uncle's diary the nephew asks for

permission to publish these recordings all the people realized that Captain Lord wasn't guilty but

unfortunately he didn't live to see this moment actually it's still unknown who

is guilty in this story two ships were nearby the Titanic their captains were

adequate people they would have helped save all the passengers their fault was

that they couldn't understand what the Titanic wanted on that dark night someone forgot to put red flares in the

Box this small but fatal detail was one of the leading causes of the tragedy the

Bermuda Triangle is one of the most heavily traveled shipping routes in the world some Skeptics believe that this

fact solves the Bermuda Triangle mystery statistically the busier the area the

higher the frequency of accidents and disappearances while this makes sense it's not the frequency of disappearances

that's responsible for the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle it's the lack of explanation or wreckage found

on his very first voyage to the new world in 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed through the Bermuda Triangle

Columbus reported that one night when he was on the deck of the ship he noticed a giant light appear in the distance

unlike anything he'd ever seen before Columbus looked at his compass for direction and it gave off erratic

readings you might have noticed that the Bermuda Triangle doesn't appear on any world map this is because official

institutions refus to acknowledge that the area actually exists no one exactly knows how many

ships and planes have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle the rough estimate is 50 ships and 20 planes most of the time

the disappearances had no explanation and no wreckage has ever been left behind when the TBF Avenger planes went

missing a massive search operation was conducted boats and planes searched the Bermuda Triangle for any signs of the

aircraft one of the boat searching was a PBM 5 Mariner airboat the Airboat took

flight at 7:27 p.m. and called in a routine radio message 3 minutes later

then it was never heard from again no Trace was ever found of the rescue airboat or the five Avenger aircraft a

huge investigation was launched into The Disappearance of all these vehicles but nothing was ever

discovered the Bermuda Triangle is home to some pretty intense and unexpected weather storms build up quickly and

unexpectedly then disappear soon after if you blink you might miss it this

could explain why few distress signals are issued pilots and sailors never saw the weather coming a popular Theory

suggests that rogue waves are responsible for the many disappearances rogue waves are called Extreme storm

Waves by scientists they occur when different weather patterns take place at the same time and cause large unexpected

waves that reach up to 100 ft tall Witnesses say that the waves look like giant walls of water these waves could

explain why ships go down fast and without leaving any trays just off the coast of Japan you'll

find the Bermuda Triangle of the Pacific Ocean they call it the Devil's Triangle

between 1950 and 1954 nine ships disappeared in this area without leaving

a trace the ship Kyo Maroon 5 was sent to investigate these unexplained disappearances when it also vanished

after this incident the Japanese authorities labeled the area as a danger zone and sailors were encouraged to

avoid it some people blame all disasters on the Extraterrestrial Paranormal Activity

others suppose it's all about raging natural phenomenon some scientists believe the cause of anomalies is the

Environmental changes also there's a really high concentration of methane hydrates on the bottom of the ocean in

the Pacific Bermuda area this gas tends to set off and when it happens bub H

start forming on the surface of the water these gas eruptions can interrupt the ability to float and can easily sink

a ship because of this chemical reaction there won't be even a trace

left underwater volcanoes are said to be another possible explanation for the

Japanese dragons triangle in fact they can take down even small Islands luckily

nobody lives there it's a pretty common thing in this area that some of them disappear underwater and others appear

out of the blue because of seismic activity you'll never find the dragons triangle on any official map of the

world so nobody's quite sure about how large it is in reality in July 2015 two teenagers

disappeared after setting sale off the coast of Florida there's some mystery about what the two teams were really

getting up to they told their parents that they were just going to fish but they told their friends that they were

crossing to the Bahamas shortly after they left a line of thunderstorms moved towards the area and the boys were never

heard from again a massive search was conducted but sadly nothing was found

one year later the peirs boat was found off the coast of Bermuda with a broken iPhone and some personal effects left

inside one of the most popular and bizarre theories trying to solve the Bermuda Triangle mystery comes from

Charles berlitz he insists that the area is home to the lost city of Atlantis the

missing ships and planes and malfunctioning equipment according to him were all caused by rays of energy

Led Out by the special energy crystals that power Atlantis while this sounds silly Brit's theory was convincing

enough that over 20 million people bought his book worldwide previously the compass

wouldn't work well in the Bermuda Triangle since the lines of the two poles coincided here true north and

magnetic north but if you fall into this line your compass will beave beh strangely but the magnetic north is

constantly shifting and now it's far beyond the triangle no Legend says pirates of the last centuries operate in

the Bermuda Triangle or that the Flying Dutchman makes other ships disappear a

popular theory is that ships travel to the distant past or future through a time portal in the Bermuda Triangle

fortunately these are all myths just imagine hundreds of giant tentacles

reaching out to a group of ships sailing through the Bermuda Tri triangle in the past centuries they could easily sink an

entire fleet since the ships were made of wood and were lighter squids wrapped decks with their strong tentacles made

holes in the ship's hulls with their sharp beaks toothy suction cups could break the masts and tear the sails the

water was filling the holes and slowly rising to the deck the ship sank in a matter of minutes survivors reached the

shore and told everyone about huge monsters this is how the legends of the Kraken appeared fortunately now people

have sonars and equipment for monitoring the sea space they say the main reason why this place is so enigmatic must be

the magnetic fields that form this ominous triangle ocean floor is made of

rocks containing a lot of magnetite it's more like iron magnetic fields react to

the high concentration of magnetite on the ocean floor which may start a sort of conflict between the two it can often

lead to various weather anomalies and as a result navigation issues and naturally

any changes in the ocean floor or the Earth's magnetic fields influence the Bermuda Triangle a

lot magnetic fields tend to shift their position so do tectonic plates and even

the continents even though we never notice it the skies are usually very clear

there but back in 1883 some people witnessed abnormal things in the area

some claim to have seen large blocks of ice falling from the skies and the crew even managed to save one is hard proof

seems like the Bermuda Triangle has an alternate not only on Earth but even in space spacecraft usually don't disappear

Into Thin Air though like there's no air this anomalous area is really large and

stretches right above the South Atlantic it occupies the area from Chile to Zimbabwe and sits right at the point

where Van Allen radiation belts are the closest to the surface of our planet the Earth has two such belts which come in

handy tra the particles that shoot in from the Sun they do a great job protecting the Earth from radiation the

magnetic field there is lower so it allows the Earth's radiation belt to come closer to the surface whenever a

satellite passes by it will be exposed to radiation which might lead to serious damage so no satellite can take pictures

of it the South Atlantic anomaly is part of the Earth where natural radiation just flows out of control still there is

little evidence that all these triangles are really dangerous many believe the Bermuda Triangle itself has been proven

time and again to be nothing but a work of fiction in fact some shipwrecks such

as the Ellen Austin gained popularity in the middle of the 20th century while nobody even thought of drawing a

triangle in the Bermuda area before that the mystery was popularized by science fiction writers and became a common myth

while no serious research proved it any more dangerous than other parts of the world's ocean so the crew of The Ellen

Austin back in 1881 weren't even aware of the Bermuda Triangle back then let

alone afraid of it what do you

think so in 2017 over 25 million people boarded cruise ships all over the world

now if you're keeping count that's more than the total population of

Greece it's become America's favorite Choice when when it comes to going on vacation it's easy to see why hopping

aboard a cruise ship becomes more popular each year heading out on a cruise is also coming back in style with

newer generations 2third of Gen Y and Millennials say that cruising is their

new preferred type of vacation how's that well let's see it's

easy to plan in advance on board you can find activities for all family members and you get a chance to visit several

different Destin nations in one trip an added bonus of booking a cruise you can sample various places for a future time

off the entertainment on board is often topnotch providing passengers with an

added Taste of luxury and the amenities and accommodations are generally very

reliable not to mention that it gives tourists that feeling of actually getting away from everything that people

strive for while out of the office Royal Caribbean International is

one of the largest cruise lines in the world with just over 19% of the cruise Market as of 2018 it's current Fleet is

divided into many different classes of ships including the Voyager Class Radiance and Quantum

ooh the latest addition to the Royal Caribbean International's impressive fleet was built in 2018 wonder of the

Seas is now the largest cruise ship in the world since this spectacular liner

has just had are made in Voyage in March 2022 let's look at some of the incredible perks it has to offer its

passengers for starters the boat is so big that it had to be split into neighborhoods well it figures since

wonder of the Seas can accommodate almost 7,000 passengers fond of New York

well no worries wonder of the Seas has a Central Park of its own with an estimated 10,000 plants to check out the

ship Central Park is a feature of all Oasis class ships being one of the so-called

neighborhoods let's look at some other areas shall we like this Boardwalk a

place that includes an arcade a candy store and a sports bar it's best suited for long walks there's a pool in Sports

Zone on wonder of the sea these areas feature the ship's numerous Pools and Hot Tubs there are many activities to

check out on the Sports Court then there's the the royal

prominade or prominade if you prefer that's the main road on wonder of the Seas with bars lounges and places to

grab a cup of coffee or a luxurious latte the entertainment neighborhood is the focal point for leisure activities

on the ship here guests can find a comedy club an ice skating rink and even

a theater the spa and fitness area is a

tranquil Zone with a huge array of treatments available the fitness center is free of charge by the way so there's

no excuse for a guest to skip a leg day an extra eighth Zone was added to

wonder of the Seas it's called The Sweet neighborhood this is an exclusive area

designed for guests staying in the suits oh now I get it it's located at the top of the

ship guests here have designated staff members called royal Genies yeah if you

rub a lamp in your Suite they appear nah not really the genie are similar to butlers they can cater to just a few

cabins of course the cruise line wants to divert other guests from asking these crew members various questions and

taking their time that's why the Genies don't wear name tags in public

[Music] areas as for its itinerary wonder of the Seas was initially supposed to be

homeported in China but Royal Caribbean decided to move the liner to the United States in March 2022

the ship started its Journey with seven night Eastern and Western Caribbean

itineraries in May 2022 wonder of the Seas is scheduled for a trip to Europe

with Western Mediterranean Cruises from Barcelona and Rome planned for its guests passengers will also be able to

visit pade mayorca Spain and Capri Italy when the summer season is over

wonder of the Seas is scheduled to return to Florida to offer year round sailing starting November

2022 and by the way there is no truth to the rumor that a special Cruise only for

highly allergic and hay fever sufferers will be called The Wonder of the sneeze nope not at

all now it's hard to imagine a ship so massive that can accommodate so many

amenities on board for example the Titanic was the largest ship of its time

measuring 882 ft in length and wonder of the Seas is not only 1188

ft long it's also 36% taller and 34%

wider speaking of lifeboats which I am about to Titanic had a mere 20 lifeboats

on board which was tragically not enough to fit all the passengers after the ship hit the iceberg but wonder of the Seas

has an even smaller number of lifeboats 18 to be precise sounds weird weird and dangerous

well not really given that each of these lifeboats can accommodate up to 370

people it means that all the passengers and crew members an estimated 8,000 people if fully booked are going to be

safe in case of an emergency if we could somehow have a

race between the two ships Well Titanic was in fact the faster ship out of the

two beating wonder of the Seas by 1 knot per hour cruise ship passengers today

are more interested in the experience rather than the speed of the boat itself that's why how fast a ship can travel is

not an extremely important aspect nowadays in terms of costs Titanic cost

around 7.5 million at the time of its construction it's the equivalent of about 200 million today how about wonder

of the Seas well it cost a staggering 1.35 billion to build making it six

times more expensive than the Titanic [Music] how about we compare ticket prices well

in this case the least expensive ticket on Titanic was 7 lb it's about $1,000

today the cheapest ticket on wonder of the Seas is currently 423 bucks but

prices may vary depending on the location season itinerary and how much you tip your Royal

Genie and I know you were going to ask how about icebergs Well Titanic steamed

in the fridge North Atlantic where you had to be on the lookout for those wonder of the Seas will be cruising the

balmy Caribbean where the worst thing you can hit on is 17 in blackjack oops

busted anyway set side by side with its other sisters from the Royal Caribbean

Fleet wonder of the Seas is equally as impressive the company's earliest ships could host about 2500 people this

included passengers and the staff such ships were Splendor of the Seas legend of the Seas and the smallest of them all

thumbalina of the Seas no wait that should be Empress of the Seas oops my

bad the largest ships in the company's Fleet can now house about 9,000 people

altogether that's almost three times the size and capacity of the earlier liners wonder of the Seas is one of them as

well as Harmony of the Seas and Symphony Of The Seas are you seeing a pattern here yep

if you ever encounter a ship with of the seas in its name it's safe to assume it belongs to Royal Caribbean but if it's a

can of tuna it might actually be chicken of the sea hey I like

tuna now choosing between cruise ships based on their size is like wondering if

you should visit your local Museum or the L in Paris it all depends on your preferences some families prefer small

settings others are fan of large spaces that can provide everything everything they

need historically it's equally as exciting how far we've come in terms of Maritime Transportation BSS Royal

William for example was the first boat to ever make a transatlantic Voyage almost entirely steam powered in

1833 and it was a mere 160 ft long and could house roughly 155 passengers and

if the Seas were calm then they were housed less roughly

similarly the first modern mega ship in the world was the MS Sovereign of the Seas launched in 1987 it was only 888 ft

long and could carry a little under 3,000

passengers size and capacity are not the single improvements added to newer cruise ships out there recent

technological developments in artificial intelligence and facial recognition have allowed Cruise operators to ensure

faster smoother boarding for passengers if in the past it took from 60 to 90

minutes for all passengers to board a ship nowadays Kush ship operators manag to get people comfortably settled in

less than 15 minutes now I'm sure you're already

eager to book a ticket but let's look into some of the more interesting activities you can try on board wonder

of the Seas this way you'll know what you're getting yourself into all Royal Caribbean ships have

loads of artworks available for their guests to enjoy but wonder of the Seas goes above and beyond even featuring

statues of astronauts in key locations around the ship you'll find the first astronaut

looking through the glass at the prominade while a second one is busy rock climbing at the boardwalk the third

and last astronaut is more of a movie fan this statue can be found near the movie screen sitting area going

astronaut sightseeing is proving to be quite the EXP experience among

guests in the areas with no access to sunlight wonder of the Seas features

virtual balconies in case of bad weather guests can still have a feeling of the outdoors but without having to hide from

wind or rain teenagers have a place of their own reserved on the ship there's a special

club with a private hot tub selfie area games and comfortable seating the inside

part of this club features a vending machine an interesting collection of literature and tables for foosball well

sign me up ships have been around for at least 6,000 years dating back to ancient Egypt

uh I wasn't around that in the beginning they were used for business purposes only mostly trading and exploring ships

as an attraction only became a thing a bit over a hundred years ago you might think it was the infamous Titanic but

you'd be wrong the first cruise ship that took passengers on a voyage was a German ship

called princessin Victoria Louisa it was launched in 1900 and served for 6

years of course now they are more advanced and last longer around 30

years after that used by date it's no longer safe to travel due to metal

fatigue most often of the ship's Hall so since ships don't have too long of a

lifespan it makes sense to build them big I mean big so they can accommodate

as many passengers as possible your average cruise ship is 1,000 ft in length or approximately

three times as big as a football field they're also tall enough to require elevators they're also filled

with different facilities like restaurants pools and many other fun

activities right now the biggest cruise ship in the world is called Wonder of the Seas it's 1187 ft long has 18 decks

and can host almost 7,000 non- crew passengers it has eight different

neighborhoods 20 restaurants four pools a water park a full-size basketball

court an ice skating rink rock climbing walls and even a theater so it's

basically a floating city some people are permanent cruise ship residents there's a luxury ocean

liner called the world that offers permanent residence to 165 people these

people sail almost every day and never live in one place so yes cruise ships are enormous

and if you build them at once they won't fit anywhere so the ship is constructed part by part preab Often by different

companies Cruise cabins are built separately and then they're added to the ship at the shipyard such huge ships

sure have big anchors an average anchor weighs like four grown elephants the

crew members try to avoid dropping the anchor when possible because such a massive thing can severely harm the

ecosystems at the bottom of the sea with around 2,000 cabins on average

it's impossible to ensure that every cabin has a window for the voyagers to observe the sea so cruise ships found a

solution interior cabins that don't have Windows have virtual balconies that

transmit real life images from the outside of the ship depending on where your cabin is

located even if you get a cabin with a virtual balcony you still have better accommodations than the crew members

they reside in a so-called B deck which is located in the lower part of the ship below the waterline there are dorm style

rooms with a bunch of bunk beds and lockers also crew members have a secret

language code words that they use to exchange information without the passengers

knowing for example the word alpha or Star code signals a medical

emergency and bravo bravo bravo means a fire on the

ship by the way there's a bunch of stuff you aren't allowed to take on board because of potential threats those

include candles clo irons travel Steamers and hot plates basically it's

anything that produces Flame or heat with the only exception of curling irons and hair sters yeah I never leave home

without mine since people live on board for weeks and often the ships spend days in

the open sea you can imagine that a lot of waste is produced every day from the

thousands of passengers and crew the ship is hosting so where does it all

go well dumping trash in the sea or ocean is illegal so the ship Engineers

devised a system on a particular crew only deck of a ship there there's a recycling station where all the waste

goes from everywhere around the ship everything that can be recycled paper

aluminum cans all types of glass and plastic bottles are collected separated

crushed and stored until the ship docks at a port and can send the stack to a recycling

station as for the food waste all kitchens on board have a suction drain

which takes the food to one big pipe which takes all of it to a hydr processor the processor crushes the food

into small pieces and then Burns it now the cruising capital of the world

is Miami Florida having five ports Florida is the place where most cruise

ships depart voyages are fun but if you need to get somewhere fast cruise ships

shouldn't be your first choice because they're slow on average they travel at the speed of 20 knots which is just 23

mph ships travel much slower than cars and planes because they move huge

amounts of water for instance when you run on the ground you're fast now really

I've seen you now step in a swimming pool and try to run there it'll be way harder for you to do and you'll be way

slower barely moving through now keep in mind that you're much smaller than a ship as we've seen ships are big

boys when you put something in the water it displaces the amount of water that is equivalent to its weight so a ship

displaces thousands of tons of water and then pushes through it creating such a

drag that's why they're slow still in a year cruise ships sail around the

equivalent of three times around the planet apparently the passengers are there to enjoy the ride and not so much

the velocity obviously such ships need a boatload of fuel and not just one

several types are required heavy fuel oil is used for the main engines Marine Diesel is needed for smaller engines and

lifeboats and there's also marine gas oil for the [Music]

turbines every day each cruise ship burns on average 150 tons of fuel and

releases exhaust equal to 1 million cars combined so there are often regulations

regarding how pure each type of fuel must be in most parts of the world ships

can only use fuel that contains no more than 1 half of a percent of Sol suur a

component that highly contributes to air pollution in other countries the fuel

must be even purer containing only one/ tenth of a perc of sulfur the cleaner the fuel the more expensive it is so

ships often change from one fuel grade to another depending on the area the ship is sailing in so where do ships get

so much of the stuff apparently there are floating filling stations so-called product

tankers they carry different grades of fuel and deliver it to the ship connecting to the ship's fuel tanks and

pumping the proper grade of oil into the section where it's needed all cruise ships pick up stranded

Sailors and fishermen and that happens quite often so don't be surprised if your cruise ship stops in the middle of

the sea to pick someone up it's a common practice ships can even change course to

pick up some stranded Sailors if they get a distress call but what happens if

you a passenger Falls over you clumsy o hey just kidding ships have sensors that

should notice the accident and send a distress signal but Witnesses are still important the person will be saved way

faster so if you ever see someone falling overboard here's what to do

throw them a life ring point at them and scream a person overboard and get someone to tell the ship's bridge if no

one is around do everything it takes to get some attention you can call the ship's emergency number or even activate

one of the alarms afterward it's up to the crew to do the rescue operation by the way crew members have a

code phrase for a person overboard too it's Oscar Oscar Oscar and that's not

for Oscar me it's a code unique to the Royal Caribbean cruise

lines ever since what happened to the Titanic remember the Oscar winning movie

every cruise ship is obligated to have safety equipment to to accommodate 125% of the people on board so you

shouldn't be scared of history repeating itself especially in the warm Tropic

Islands after around 30 years when a ship has served its time it retires and

gets sent to a shipyard where it gets scrapped many famous and beloved ships

enjoy a better fate they get turned into hotels and attractions yes it's good to be the

queen

at the beginning of the 20th century somewhere off the coast of West Africa a

German steamship was leaving the port suddenly the weather got worse and the

vessel entered a thick fog the sailors ran around on a sandbank close to the

shore luckily no one was hurt and they were even able to save their Precious Cargo but the ship was stuck in the sand

for good and it was not alone there nearly the entire length of the western

coast of Namibia is called skeleton Coast if the name sounds scary that's

because it is this 976m Long Beach line is among the most

dangerous places on Earth the local Bushmen tribes believe that their Supreme deity made this land when it was

angry the Portuguese were the first Europeans to set foot in Namibia in the 15th century and yep they didn't like

skeleton Coast either Portuguese explorers thought this land presented the gates to the

underworld this is the place where the Namib Desert meets the Atlantic Ocean it

might be dangerous but it's actually beautiful plus it's a UNESCO world heritage

site if skeleton Coast had a PR manager they would quit on the first day on the job the area is not exactly tourist

friendly because of its geography and history beneath the sand and the waves

there is a secret ocean currently lurking for un suspecting Sailors it's called benuel current it flows towards

the north along the coast of southern Africa this part of the Atlantic is rich in marine life but the current's land

neighbor isn't that happy with the deal this Aid climate created the Namib Desert one of the driest regions on

Earth and that marine life I just mentioned it's sharks 11 species of them

to be exact and yes the great white decides to pop by once in a while so far

we've got a desert landscape strong currents and sharks not a place for a Beachside Resort definitely but if

someone ends up on skeleton Coast will they know they're in danger don't worry they

will the beach is littered with wrecks of all sizes and shapes if you remember

that German ship I mentioned in the very beginning it's massive and rusted Stern is now sticking out from the desert sand

there are some 500 wrecks in total scattered Ed along the coast and it's a mixed crowd from Portuguese gallion

centuries old to ships that ran ashore here in the 21st century a modern

fishing ship called zaa India managed to slip from its tow rope in 2008 and ended

up on skeleton Coast okay it didn't escape on its own it had some help from

the elements but it's better to be a tourist attraction on a beach than to be broken up for scrap that's where the

tler was originally going poor thing skeleton Coast's most famous inhabitant

to call it such a place is the wreck of the dunadan star the British cargo liner

ran around here in 1942 the massive rescue operation that followed reveals why it's so dangerous

for sailor to end up here The Rescuers managed to save all of the crew and passengers but at a heavy price an

aircraft and a tugboat were lost in the process it took the last of The Rescuers

a full 2 months to return home to Cape Town why you might wonder One look at

the map of the region reveals the reason it's an Endless Sea of yellow which is

the sand there are so few roads here so skeleton Coast is hard to reach by land

there are also legal obstacles you need a special permit to drive into the

area but the skeletons in the name of the area don't only refer to ships they also stand for animal bones most of

these belong to whales and and seals many animals have adapted to the area so

lions and hyenas roam the coastline in search of a meal yeah now there are hungry Lions as well as if those sharks

weren't enough other animals with a temporary residence on skeleton Coast include elephants cheetahs leopards and

giraffes in 1971 the namibian authorities established a national park

here but except for Surfers after an adrenaline rush they don't get many visitors you can understand understand

why the Namib Desert is the oldest desert in the world and it's not very

tourist friendly either those who travel to the region should pack sunscreen and a warm winter jacket a weird combo right

well not so much when you think that during the day temperatures soar over 110° F at night the air temperature

drops below freezing what a climate roller coaster and that's not the final

danger yep there's more remember how that German ship got lost in thick fog

yeah it wasn't a one-off event because of the Region's climate fog shows up

frequently Sailors should cover their ears now but this fog is actually good for wildlife this is their only source

of water in the Namib Desert reptiles and mammals have adapted to the harsh climate they use as little water as

possible shifting Sands thick fog strong currents lions and sharks not the stuff

you would put in a tourist booklet but skeleton Coast isn't the only Beach on Earth you wouldn't want to spend your

vacation on I will take you to Cape tribulation in Australia the area covers

some 48 square miles in the Northwestern part of the continent and no the area is

not as dry as skeleton Coast it's part of the D Tree rainforest you could say

that here it is the rainforest not the desert that meets the ocean the beach at

Cape tribulation is straight from a postcard but looks can be deceiving hm

Australia probably sharks no crocodiles are out here to get you if you decide to go for a dip in the sea there are

saltwater crocodiles that the locals call salties well that's a cute nickname for such a dangerous reptile and it's

not just that the wildlife seems to have a beef with visitors from October to

June the waters around Cape tribulation are full of box jellyfish their venom

affects the human cardiovascular system when touched by a jellyfish out at Sea swimmers won't have enough time to reach

land for help vinegar helps neutralize the sting so you might want to keep a spare bottle in your

luggage crocodiles and Jellyfish sound dangerous but there is one more animal you should look after it's the wild boar

it might sound funny but you won't laugh when you're being chased by one of these across the beach 21 million wild bores

live live in Australia they're mostly active at night making it even more dangerous if they charge at you the best

defense is running in circles wild bors can't cut Corners well that's probably

why we don't see many of them taking up careers as race drivers Cape tribulation has one last

danger installed for you and it's not an animal out here even the trees are

plotting against visitors the stinging tree got its name for a reason if you

try to pick one of its beautiful red berries it'll fight back its prickles are like tiny glass shards the less than

Pleasant effect on your skin will last for a month then there is this wait a

while Bush who keeps naming them like this this long Vine has spikes that grab

hold and just don't let go they are so strong they can pull a human off a horse

you'll have to wait for someone to come by and save you from this thorny grabber

if you are about to cross this Australian Beach from the vacation list hold on for a second tourism is booming

here the local authorities have restricted access to all of the danger zones visitors go swimming in dreamy

water holes that are surrounded by Lush vegetation there are even ropes to swing from now that's a beach you can finally

relax on far out in the open sea on a perfectly calm day a DOT appears on the

horizon it grows in size as it gets closer and soon you can see it's a ship

but when you look at it through the spy glass chills go down your spa the vessel

is in perfect condition and its cargo is on board but it's completely devoid of

people drifting listlessly along the current that was what the captain of The Ellen Austin saw in 1881 and what

brought his crew so many sorrows in December of the previous year the Ellen

a a big 210 ft long ship left the port of Liverpool to make its trip to New

York the ship was carrying a load of people hoping to find a better life in the new world Captain AJ Griffin took

the vessel due Southwest for a shorter voyage and a few weeks into 1881 they

found themselves north of the saraso sea known for its lack of winds and strong

circling currents ships that got caught in those could lose control and keep on

drifting in circles until they were dragged into the center from there they'd be incredibly lucky to get back

past the currents but more often than not they stayed in the desolate desert

of the sea forever where still the area belonged to the notorious Bermuda

Triangle which was already known to take down ships and make them disappear without a trace the ship's crew were

nervous afraid of being in such a dangerous area so close to a sea that

could bring them to a standstill and ominously some of the saraso SE calm

must have escaped it because the Ellen Austin lost its speed one day and fell a

drift without the winds it was fine though they had ample provisions and

were still on schedule Captain Griffin was walking around his ship giving orders in a voice full of calm Authority

and both his crew and passengers trusted him completely but then the Lookout shouted

from above that a ship was in sight and indeed when the captain looked in the

direction the man was pointing he saw a small Schooner moving slowly into view

and towards the Ellen Austin as it came closer it became apparent that the way

the strange vessel moved wasn't right the captain frowned and examined it through his spy glass the scooner was

untouched but eerily silent there wasn't a single soul on board derel ships

weren't that rare in the Atlantic at the time but neither were pirates Captain Griffin decided to wait and watch after

2 days the Schooner was as quiet as always and Captain finally thought it was fine to move in he took a small team

of sailors and boarded the stranded ship there was nobody there indeed but Lux

seemed to be on Griffin's side the precious cargo of mahogany wood was still in the holes the captain returned

to the elen Austin and ordered his select men to take the smaller ship along to New York the crew Spirits arose

with the prospect of riches awaiting them upon arrival when the winds blew strong again the Ellen Austin continued

its Voyage with the unnamed vessel tagging along but after a couple of days

the ships were caught in a powerful storm and got separated the wind rain and waves beat them for several days in

a row when the weather finally cleared Captain Griffin ordered to find the Schooner they searched for another day

until they finally found it a drift way off the course Griffin hailed his men on

board the smaller ship but no one answered a party of sailors went to

investigate and returned with their faces white with fear the whole prize

crew went missing in the storm the captain wasn't one to lose such a valuable fine though and ordered another

team to take control of the schooner reluctantly the sailors obeyed and the

two ships continued their Voyage they agreed to stay as close as possible to one another and ring their Bells at set

intervals at night to let each other know they were fine several nights went all right with bells ringing

reassuringly every hour but one day a thick blanket of fog fell on the sea and

almost completely blocked their Vision the ships went on regardless and started sounding their Bells early there when

night came the fog was still there but the bells were the sound of life until

they stopped Captain Griffin rang the bell once then twice no answer the crew

lit the fires and looked out into the sea intently but the fog hadn't lifted

and they couldn't see a thing in the swirling Abyss beyond the ship's board nobody could sleep that night and they

waited in silence until the break of dawn the first rays of sun made the fog

slowly disperse and the whole crew went to the edge of the deck with heavy hearts there was still hope in them

until the last strands of the Mist went away revealing a vast calm and most

importantly empty ocean the nameless Schooner was gone and so was the second

team of the Ellen Austin Sailors the ship sailed the rest of the way to New York in grave silence once it arrived at

the Port the passengers were only too happy to leave the vessel and no one so much as turned their head as a goodbye

that was the ship's last Voyage as the Ellen Austin that same year it was sold

to a German shipping company and renamed meta no one ever found the derc Schooner

or the sailors that went missing with it and that would probably be the end of this mysterious and unresolved story if

it held at least a little bit of the truth in reality none of the en catic

things in the narrative actually happened the Ellen Austin did indeed leave Liverpool and headed Southwest to

New York and its Captain was really AJ Griffin taking people to the American continent but from here the story falls

apart first of all the ship went way too far to the North to pass the saraso sea

so closely there was simply no reason to make a detour so broad even though the

Westerly winds were strong it was still faster to take them head on than to go in a southerly Direction so the Ellen

Austin was probably nowhere near the saraso Sea and the Bermuda Triangle

secondly the triangle itself has been proven time and again to be nothing but a work of fiction in fact it gained

popularity in the middle of the 20th century while nobody even thought of drawing a triangle in the Bermuda area

before that the mystery was popularized by science fiction writers and became a

common myth well no serious research proved it any more dangerous than other parts of the world's ocean so the crew

of The Ellen Austin weren't even aware of the Bermuda Triangle back then let alone afraid of it thirdly the whole

story was told and retold by magazines and mystery loving personalities with everchanging details it first appeared

in a newspaper in 1906 and already had the date wrong the article said the

voyage took place in 1891 instead of 1881 later the story resurfaced in 1935 on

the radio with the wrong name of the captain it was Baker not Griffin the date was also off saying the trip was

taken in August 1881 when the Ellen Austin was already renamed meta the

legend grew upon with other strange details such as the ship's route from London to New Finland which was never

the case but the final debunking came from The Archives of Lloyds of London

the Marine Insurance Market that keeps all logs of trade and immigration ship routes the documents there say that on

February 1881 the Ellen Austin completed its cross-atlantic Voyage to New York

without incident Captain AJ Griffin off boarded the ship with all his crew hail

and Hardy and declared no loss of hands during the trip The Voyage took over two

months because the ship had to fight strong Westerly winds pushing it back towards Britain the crew reported no

strange encounters on the way and the whole thing was as boring as could be and even the passengers must have been

smiling when they stepped on the American soil at last unaware of the phony baloney story they were about to

be a part of giant container ships are responsible

for much of the global trade thanks to them you receive your orders from overseas sooner or later but they do

have a problem just like any mechanical vessel they take tend to break down that's where these little bad boys come

in tugboats are meant to help any stranded vessel that either lost power or sustain any technical or physical

damage besides being salvaged vessels tugboats also help guide ships when they

die since these ships are massive underl they require little tugboats to survey

the surroundings and help them navigate to dock properly they also serve as firefighting boats in case a fire breaks

loose in the ship many of these cargo ships already have a system to stop fires but tugboats provide extra help in

case the Fire gets out of control many cargo ships pass through below zero regions like the Arctic and face plenty

of obstacles or I stles tugboats to the rescue again they can make the first

move by breaking the ice so that the vehicle can pass through without damaging itself or delaying its course

they also help large ships move through narrow areas on March 23rd 21 the everg

given one of the largest container ships in the world got stuck in the Suz Canal for 6 days it froze global Shipping of

almost $10 billion of trade in a day the Suz Canal is one of the most important

routes for trading but happens to be quite narrow for its purpose to put that

into perspective it's like the Empire State Building getting lodged in the middle of a busy freeway so if you were

wondering why your delivery was late during that month it's probably because

of that incident the bottom of the ship nearly touched the floor of the canal in the early morning of March 23rd the

weather was acting up it was getting worse and worse with the wind picking up to around 45 mph those were some

terrible weather conditions for navigation that should have been the first red flag but the canal Authority

didn't have a system for monitoring weather conditions or warning ships about them the captain Krishan kavl

ignored the signs and decided just to go with it not knowing the perils and the consequences ahead the Egyptian Pilots

that were assisting with the navigation failed to provide proper instructions as a result the ship became jammed

diagonally essentially blocking the whole Canal the canal authorities didn't provide tugboats for some reason which

is why it was stuck for 6 days things were so bad they had to bring excavation

diggers to remove some land for the ship to properly turn back to normal so these

little tuggers are really important for World Trading to work the vessels are getting bigger and bigger with the world

depending on Import and Export more than ever they're built for going long distances rather than maneuvering in

tight spaces and Corners the tugboats are surrounded by a material that won't scratch or damage the vessel kind of

like bumper cars at the carnival they can either push or pull but one thing's

for sure more than one is needed to help a ship get back on its aquatic f feet

chips don't have a lot of water passing over the rudder for them to turn quickly and they risk damaging the engine if

they push it too hard they can either tow it directly or indirectly the tug is

pulling the vessel either in front of it or from side to side they can also push it from one side to another these tiny

boats are like ants compared to Giant ships their success secret is that they're floating on the water which

means there's no solid foundation for them to struggle as a result pushing and ping is easy many newer tugboats have

two large diesel powerered engines there are also some electric models which are good for the environment and still do

their job well shipping boats in general are better for the environment than trucks and planes but are slower

shipping vessels mainly carry food clothing Electronics furniture and my stuff the biggest ship can carry the

Eiffel Tower on its back like it's no big deal although getting it over to the ship would be they're a thousand times

more power powerful than a regular car if all the containers in the world were arranged in a pile it would cover half

the planet if you ever walked on a beach in the 9s and saw what appeared to be a

rubber ducky you were dreaming in 1992 a shipping crate holding 28,000 rubber

ducks was lost at sea while journeying from Hong Kong to the US they say it

fell off the ship and has been around the world's oceans for more than 20 years what seemed like a horrible

accident that that would leave dire consequences for the world's Marine ecosystem Prov to also be helpful for us

to learn and understand the world of plastic pollution and how the ocean currents work these ducks seem to have

had quite the journey when they broke free from their container life some reports show they got washed up on the

shores of Alaska South America Hawaii Pacific Northwest Scotland Australia and

even froze in the Arctic rather than making their way to thousands of bathrooms in the us they went rad and

backpacked around the world to see what else lies Beyond tiled walls and bubble baths many were collected and removed

from the Seas and oceans while some are still out there there are around 2,000

of these duckies circulating in the currents of the North Pacific gy in case you were wondering that's a place where

the currents meet and whirl with one another between Japan Alaska Kodiak and

the uan islands they've even created a website to track these Ducks down with a contact form that lets people inform of

one or many ducks they find across the world but who knows maybe we'll never

recover every single duck that was lost at sea at the time this is just one incident out of many studies show that

at least 2,000 to 10,000 shipping containers are lost at sea every year

many containers that do slip off and fall into the sea don't always sink to the bottom they're floaters on the

downside they don't float High enough to become colorful islands that are easy to notice they float like icebergs with

just the top of the container showing which means that any passing ship or boat won't see it from above if they

pass through it then significant damage can happen to the ship they can't stay floating forever so they end up sinking

after many days of being suspended in the Open Water some people have even seen shipping containers washed up on

shore after being stranded at Sea these bad boys have been made to last for a

very long time if you take proper care of them the life expectancy of each container can stretch for more than 20

years it's pretty amazing that they travel all over the world and are filled and refilled with new items many times

they go through all sorts of weather conditions and have to survive in different climates many modern houses

are made out of retired shipping containers designed with a nice aesthetic touch shipping container

houses provide the exact same living conditions except they look cool besides looking cool they're economically

friendly compared to regular houses you can save plenty of money with the structure pretty much halfway done all

that's needed is just a little foundation and a few adjustments here and there and boom you've got yourself a

house you're also doing the world a favor by contributing to the environment those homes are recycled containers that

have just been refurbished and Polished for anyone to live in they're good enough to live in freezing conditions

and scorching weather the industry is booming so you can have your new home

delivered to you within 10 weeks you can customize it before they build it for you it's easy to transport since it's

not heavy it's just bulky You can predict your cost without the surprise payments that might follow many of these

containers start their journey in a steel yard and travel all over the world and in the end they retire in a nice

piece of land and host families that will get to be a part of their history wow I can hardly contain

myself a lot of weird incidents have happened in the mysterious Valley of Hau

ever since the 1950s people even started comparing it to the infamous Bermuda

Triangle but are they really that similar it all started when an airplane went missing here under circumstances no

one can explain yet they searched the location back and forth but nothing appeared to have remained of the

aircraft and guess what no one received any SOS messages from the team on board

and to top it off the same year a considerable number of tourists and local residents were lost here in the

valley never to be seen again speaking of the Bermuda Triangle one can link its

origin story to a series of mysterious disappearances of ships and aircraft like the one that happened in 1945 when

five planes and 14 people on board went missing in this location while doing routine training

exercises even a a thorough investigation didn't help to establish the cause of the incident but that

wasn't the end between 1945 and the mid 1980s another 25 small planes went

missing while going through the Bermuda Triangle never to be seen again and the search parties haven't recovered a

single piece of these aircraft the Bermuda Triangle isn't the only stretch of water that has claimed ships for good

in the Pacific Ocean near Japan there's a tricky portion of water that has earned the nickname the devil sea the

best known out of all of these disappearances is that of a fishery Patrol vessel that when missing in

1953 on board were 31 crew members and scientists who were looking to investigate a recently formed volcanic

island what happened to the ship and all the people on board we'll never know I

guess since they never found the ship or the crew members and there was literally no trace of them left

behind back in 1911 a standard train was scheduled to depart from a railway

station in Rome hoping to reach the city of Milan needless to say none of the 106

passengers ever made it to the destination and no one has ever seen them again what happened to these people

and to their train were they really lost forever some people seem to believe this

isn't the case as it was completing its Journey the train was supposed to pass

through a long tunnel it did enter it but never came out the the other end of the tunnel nothing was left of the train

and it seemed like it literally just vanished Into Thin Air only two of the passengers were found but they were

quite unwell at the time and their stories did not seem to make much sense they spoke of a dense fog that they

simply jumped out of because they got so scared 15 years later a story spread

about a group of 104 Italian people that popped up in Mexico City claiming they

had arrived by train from Rome if that's not weird enough the story appears to have been reported back in

1845 66 years before the train even departed in the first place of course

nobody at the time actually took these people seriously but you can't help but Wonder did they actually time travel via

the Roman tunnel or is it just another Urban myth what do you think the Lost

Colony is the story of a strange phenomenon that happened back in the late 1500s

a group of people from England had moved into a colony on Rowan Oak Island off the coast of present day North Carolina

but they soon realized they didn't have enough supplies to fix this the colony's Governor decided to head back to England

to get some he didn't manage to come back for another 3 years when he finally

did he was astonished at what was left behind nothing the entire population of

the colony was gone the only reminder of what had been there was a single word

carved into a tree to this day nobody knows what might have happened to these people or what the carved word means a

lighthouse without an operator you might think that can't possibly be true but hear me out located in the Northwestern

part of Scotland are the flann and Isles there's nothing fancy about them since they're nothing more than a bunch of

rocks and grass but there is a famous lighthouse here hiding a dark secret in

19 00 all three of the lighthouse Keepers mysteriously disappeared never

to be seen again ever since the islands have been completely abandoned the lighthouse became one of those with an

automated system in the 1970s no list of places where things go

missing could be complete without this mysterious forest located in Transylvania a region in Romania and no

it has nothing to do with the famous Count Dracula if that's what you're thinking it's called the Hoya forest and

it's a place that has seen quite its share of unusual phenomena not only do

people go missing here but others have experienced all sorts of weird noises

from female voices to Whispers some people claim to have time traveled between the spooky trees of the Hoya

Forest they say they had literally skipped a few hours before they went back the Yello Head Highway is a stretch

of road located in British Columbia Canada when second setion of the road has received a lot of attention

throughout the years starting with the 1960s because of some mysterious

disappearances these events have earned it the nickname Highway of Tears there is no reasonable explanation as to why

people keep going missing here what is more striking is that most of these people were young women this triangular

area that stretches above the desert and the Sierra Nevada mountains in the state of Nevada received quite a bit of

attention because of a disappearance that happened back in 2007 a record setting sailor Aviator and adventurer

named Steve faucet flew here in a small plane and then disappeared they searched

for faucet intensively for months but didn't find any traces of him or the

aircraft one year later the mystery of faucet's Fate was finally solved when a

hiker came across his ID cards and later a search party found the plane's wreckage it's one of the most visited

natural resorts in the world but Yos National Park carries some dark secrets

of its own despite its beauty and abundance of wildlife a total of 45

people went missing right here in this location no one knows what happened to them hey maybe we should ask the local

Bears they might know something there are even stories of people that disappeared from one region of the park

only to pop up in a completely different location this hasn't stopped over over 3 million people that visit the park each

year from wandering around this location though whenever a ship happens to sink

you'd expect to at least find pieces of it on the bottom of the sea right well not if you're traveling through Lake

Superior it's located along the border of the United States and Canada and became famous because of the great

number of ships that went missing here it may have something to do with the stormy Winds of course but that doesn't

explain why some ships simply vanish altogether without a single piece of them ever to be found not even at the

bottom of the lake it does gather a lot of tourists each year though they come here to scuba dive and see the remains

of some of the ships that still lie here the bottom of this Lake even contains what's left of the notorious SS Edmund

Fitzgerald back when it departed on June 7th 1958 it was the largest ship on

North America's Great Lakes and to this day Remains the largest ship ever to

have sunk in the area similar to other events the exact cause of the Shipwreck

remains a [Music]

mystery picture this you're an astronaut hurdling through the cosmos in your state-of-the-art spaceship but suddenly

you notice that you're running out of fuel what are you going to do trapped in the middle of space it's hardly like

there's a floating gas station the good news is that you're not going to get completely stuck a spaceship will never

actually stop after running out of fuel all because there's basically no atmosphere in space that's where the

popular phrase in space no one can hear you scream comes from sound travels

through the vibration of teeny tiny atoms and molecules in space where there is no air there's simply no way for

sound to travel it's the same for our spaceship because there's no air there's

also a complete lack of air resistance those tiny particles that do exist in space are way too small to reduce the

spacecraft's momentum or drag it back because of this most spacecraft actually

turn their engines off for the biggest part of their Journey so don't believe those movies that show spaceships with

their engines on all the time that's completely inaccurate unlike vessels in the water a

ship in space doesn't need constant thrust to keep moving forward usually its engine is only fired up for short

periods of time this is not only practical but also saves money fuel is really expensive to transport into space

as it's heavy that's why space probes try to use as little fuel as possible

they need it when they set off from Earth and then again when they reenter the atmosphere it happens when they need

to slow down upon their return while cars and trains have brakes it's not that simple to bring a spaceship to a

screeching halt the engines are needed to slow the ship down or bring it to a complete stop this involves

strategically firing up impressive thrusters at the the front it creates the needed drag and reduces the

spaceship speed but this process also requires super high levels of precision

one wrong move and you're toast literally hit the thrusters too fast and

the spacecraft will set on fire as you reenter Earth's atmosphere at thousands of miles hour traveling too slowly can

also cause problems because in this case you might miss our planet's orbits completely and move way past Earth in

most spacecraft don't have enough fuel to try for a second re-entry so traveling too slowly needs to be avoided

at all costs but back to the issue at hand this basically means that any vehicle with an

empty tank will continue traveling at the same speed across space until it eventually runs into something there's

just no other way for it to stop wait actually maybe that's not good

news if you get stranded it's pretty unlikely that your buddies over there at Nasa are going to organize a rescue

mission this sounds kind of sad but it does make sense by the time they set up

a new team and find a ship to come and rescue you you'll have already traveled so far into space it would take them

years to reach you this would also cost a ridiculous amount of money NASA spends

on average a whopping $152 million to launch a ship into space that's as much

as buying six brand new top-of the range Lamborghinis even crazier it cost NASA

about $49 billion to develop and launch the first space shuttle unfortunately

once you've left Earth's orbit it's near impossible that you'll make it back without fuel that's what actually

happened to NASA's Dawn spacecraft back in 2018 on a random day the spaceship

ran out of fuel this left it completely stranded in the middle of space it stopped transmitting signals to Earth

bringing an end to an 11-year long mission that set loads of space records the spacecraft could no longer generate

electricity as it had no fuel to move its solar panels to point them toward the sun into this day the spaceship is

still floating somewhere in space in a derel state luckily Dawn had no astronauts on board the spacecraft began

to orbit the dwarf planet series which was the object it was originally investigating for context an orbit is a

curved path around a star planet or Moon that an object gets stuck in but wait

NASA are experts in all things relating to spacecraft so how did they allow a ship to run out of fuel in the first

place it's actually super difficult to accurately measure the amount of fuel you'll need in

space on Earth gravity keeps all the fuel at the bottom of the tank and you can use a float sensor to measure how

full the tank is but this is impossible in space due to a lack of gravity that normally weighs the fuel down instead a

common approach is to add an air bladder into the fuel tank that's pressurized before a launch to push the fuel into

lines the more fuel is used the more this bladder expands it takes up more space and keeps the fuel F under the

right amount of pressure this pressure is monitored that's how they can tell how much fuel is left as you see it's a

lot more complicated than here on Earth but say there were astronauts aboard a spacecraft that had run out of fuel how

long could they survive well this depends on how much food and water is on board NASA usually calculates the extra

amount of food astronauts need for their trip to avoid adding extra weight to the spacecraft but the good news is that

this food can technically be rationed and its consumption can be spread out that's because astronaut food comes in

special packaging to stop it from going bad there are no refrigerators aboard spacecraft the food comes in clear

flexible pouches that can be snipped open with scissors all the food is pre-cooked and processed so it doesn't

need to be stored in a fridge the only exceptions are fresh fruit and vegetables these are the only things

that need to be eaten quickly as they will spoil today astronauts also work

with nutritionists so they can pick out the foods that they like and will enjoy eating they can choose from a whole

bunch of products including mushroom soup macaroni and cheese chicken beef

ham nuts and even yummy cookies shrimp cocktail is apparently a new favorite

among astronauts because of how spicy it tastes flavor drinks also come in powdered form just like the Kool-Aid or

instant coffee packets you have sitting in your kitchen cupboard interestingly astronauts often report not feeling

hungry in space so it may be easier than you'd think to ration the food but even if you can make your food last what

about water transporting anything into space costs a lot and water is quite

heavy so it costs even more to transport for this reason tanks of water can't be

constantly shipped up to space instead astronauts have a really complex water system it squeezes every last drop of

safe and available liquid out of the environment this involves recycling used water it means that our buddies in space

drink water that's been filtered from old shower water their breath the spaceship's fuel cells sweat and so on

but don't worry such water is safe to drink and it's actually even better than most drinking water that comes out of

TAPS in the US the water on a spacecraft first goes through a bunch of filters

starting with one that removes particles and debris then it passes through multi- filtration beds containing clever

substances that remove impurities the final stage gets rid of harmful compounds and destroys nasty bacteria

and viruses there are also water reserves in case of emergency for example the International Space Station

keeps around 530 gallons of water in its reserves just in case but what about the

Air Supply the primary source of oxygen on spacecraft comes from something called water electrolysis this is an

amazing system that uses electricity from the craft solar panels to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gas but

as we saw with NASA's Dawn without electricity it's pretty difficult to aim the solar panels at the sun which means

that the oxygen system would likely shut down there is some oxygen stored in a pressurized storage tank though this is

a backup Supply designed for emergencies so it's not all bad
