This ship seems very similar to the remaining commercial fishing boats that remain on Lake Erie. Not a lot of boat there for contending a giant storm. Crazy that remains were found after nearly 80 years. Like to hear your breakdown of the Marquette Bessemer story outside of Conneaut

A really quick blow just caught the old girl out. My heart goes out to "The Egg Harbor Express".

Happy days just in from the night shift a bam new video uk

Fortunate, she wasn’t very heavily damaged in the attempted salvage

Small boat and a quick violent storm like a derecho can get to a F2 wind speed, excess of 120 mph in just minutes.

Plain unlucky is my guess. She wasn't very big and just got caught out. It is the only explanation unless new evidence to the contrary should surface. That's very unlikely to occur, in my opinion. 😊❤😊

First also love your videos

Very well organized video! I would like to find a way to reach you so we can compare notes! I'm working on a fairly large project about this story. Do you have a business email I can reach you at?

What do you know? I frequently watch videos on your UA-cam channel. I've seen every one of your videos, and I really like your stuff. You taught me a lot of things. Despite having excellent content, your channel is not reaching the correct viewers because of SEO issues. To build a sizable fan audience, you should concentrate on your SEO.

Thanks for sharing. I think the H.B. Hawgood spotted the Scott around 3:30 that afternoon.

Also a sad fact is the storm fllags were raised at the soo locks just after the noble and norwock had sailed out of sight. My understanding is they locked thru together Total speculation on my part but I wonder if the norouck followed the noble the first day out of concern for her then passing her after rounding the point knowing there is no place to hid from a storm in that part of the lake. It has been estimated the nobel would only mak about 8 knots riding that low ib the water. Thanks for doing this story on my favorite ship wreck !!

Like I keep saying these stories are great, living in Michigan you always hear the same old stories but you have ones I've never heard. Keep up the great work!! 👍

Please do an episode on The America.

On Isle Royal at the Rock Harbor Lodge they actually have the ship wheel that was salvaged from this wreck (unless I’m mistaking it for another wreck on the Island). But it’s in the guest house and you can see it there.

It’s kinda suspicious that they cut the ship in half and then the ship ended up breaking in half in the storm ⛈️ 🤔

One of the first major losses on the Great Lakes, and on Lake Superior in particular.

In the conditions at the time with very limited visibility, I imagine that accurate navigation was incredibly difficult. Walking in a whiteout is hazardous enough. Doing it in the era of the wreck, on a boat, and being pushed by strong winds and waves when you don't know exactly where you are must have been terrifying. So, whilst it was probably due to navigational error, I don't see how you can blame the captain. 😢❤😢

I appreciate how you pay attention to the obscure boats, some of which I don't know. Even better that some have been found.

This was an excellent episode, thank you. The proximity to the shore reminds me of the Costa Concordia. There was a particular photograph of the half submerged wreck taken from a hill overlooking the incident site, which emphasised just how close to land it was...

Keep em coming. I look for your storytelling nearly every day. The fact that there's 350 wrecks just in that particular area sounds like you have a lot of material to cover

Grew up in the Eastern UP, and I lived there for 29 years. and I learned about a shipwreck today! so thanks for that!

This reminded me of a photograph I saw of a Russian cargo ship so grossly overloaded with cement that its weatherdeck was awash even before she departed! I couldn't imagine how the Captain and Crew could allow their ship to set off in such a dangerous condition! They obviously understood the danger they had put themselves into, yet still they did it! The Captain and Crew of the incident vessel feared losing their jobs, yet they apparently gave no thought that departing so grossly overloaded with rail lines into a storm would cost them their lives! In their horrific, terrifying final moments I wonder if they acknowledged that they'd done this to themselves, guaranteeing that their ship, Crew and cargo would all be lost due to their utter contempt for their own safety... There appears to be no shortage of such people, setting off in dangerously unseaworthy ships, into known storms, never to be seen alive again. Not even modern safety legislation and rigorously enforced procedures protect against the most recklessly dangerous Captains and Crews, like those on El Faro...

I appreciate another bit of lake history. Lots of vessels down there, so you should have years of content!

The Seamen had no time to do anything but die as their ships capsized and sank beneath them...

Going great, keep 'em coming!

I enjoy your stories about the Great Lakes shipping. Thank you.

You are killing it with these stories, all are new to me, Thank you!!👍👍

Modern changes such as radio, radar, and media ch improved weather forecasting combined with loading standards and a focus on safety have greatly reduced the number of such wrecks on the Lakes

These boats always fascinated me, yet feel vaguely uncomfortable at the same time. lol

Your channel is hugely nostalgic for me. I lived on KI Sawyer & in Marquette over 35yrs ago until I was 8. I still have some pieces of shipwreck wood & agates I picked up near Deer Park & Grand Marais; I'm just afraid I'll never see the lake in person again.

Are you a sailor?

What she the last of the composite Freighters As far as being overloaded that seemed to be the norm back in the day Money and time

Iron and Oak, what a beauty

Please 🙏 make note; the way we measure how much of the ship that's under water..is called the draft - not depth. And great lake ships never denote speed by knots 🪢 always MPH.. nor KPH. Good job on up&down bound descriptions.

Even before you explained the ships' build and cargo, I had one thought. Her freeboard was poor. Fine on the canal but atrocious for the Great Lakes. When you consider poor freeboard and overladen with cargo, she was doomed. The lack of proper scuppers to drain the main deck was criminal. Just another example of the owners' financial scruples, or lack of, coupled with a new captain who probably dare not say no. 😢❤😢

someone needs to do a video on ole whitey

Just one letter away from Moronic

Finally some new stories, not ones I've heard before. Great job 👍👍.

Another excellent video, looking forward to the next 😊

Fantastic video as usual can't wait for the next one keep it up

Thanks for recognizing those long lost sailors and the ship they went down with. Look forward to your storytelling. How about a story on the Hewletts?

If you are ever near South Haven, Michigan, and would like to enjoy a cruise on a real life sailing ship ( Sloop = single mast ship), and learn the terms on board, look me up. I have friends that work for the maritime museum and crew the "Friends Good Will" ship. Im sure they'd be happy to have you visit.... From Lansing, Michigan. Wishing you a great start to the weekend.

forecastle= pronounced Fok'sle

If this boat could not fit all the freight. Meaning they would have to make a 2nd trip anyway, then why let the boat get so ovwrloaded?
