The island of Serifos in 4K
Переглядів 4 тис.Рік тому
Serifos belongs to the Cyclades island group in the Aegean sea. It is a remote destination, yet to be discovered by mass visitors, so it is perfect for laid-back holidays in Greece, away from the hustle and bustle! No cruise ships dock here. No airport even! Both Chora, the capital town, and the island’s villages have been built according to the traditional Cycladic architecture, thus expect to...

Переглядів 1,5 тис.Рік тому
Kythnos, the island of simplicity and hospitality, is one of the lesser-known and least explored of the Cyclades isles. The charming port of Merichas instantly slips you into the calmness from the surrounding sea. One of the most picturesque, Dryopida village was built in a valley hidden from the sea, right in the middle of the island, a feature that gave the residents extra protection from the...

How long will she be in dry dock?
Grand Lady.
Very nice video with nice views !!! New subscriber from Greece !!!
If those guns make it out onto the street especially in the ghetto, there will be lots shattered lives. Lol
First time I walked her decks as a 10 year old kid in 1958 I burned my feet on the hot deck. Lesson I won't ever forget. Next time I went there as a 12 year old, I wore better shoes. I still have the souvenir program.

Great video ,thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Really happy to see this old girl get saved for future generations
Temper temper
Will the gun's be reinstalled or were they removed to make sure the Battleship Texas couldn't be used??? That is the 64 million dollar question because the reason given made 0 sense!!!
Приятно что такой кусок истории не пустили на переплавку.😊🎉
Hope she is put back where she belones!!! not some of abbtes friends!!!!!!!!
If you mean back in San Jacinto, then no, she isn't going back there. San Jacinto does not have sufficient traffic, is not developed enough, and is too far from the major hubs of travel and tourism to fund the ship's maintenance. This has been an on-going problem that people simply do not seem to want to admit. Best bet is Galveston, with or near the other Naval museums, which will be good, both for the ship, as it will be easier to maintain and the water conditions in the bay are far better for her hull than the berth in San Jacinto, and better for the Foundation that runs her, as they will see a significant increase in revenues. I don't know about "Abbott's friends", but money makes the world go round, like it or not, and she doesn't bring in enough money at San Jacinto.
She's still just beautiful!!!! GO NAVY!!!
Awesome
Saw her in the dock when I was in Galveston. Incredible sight.
Just visited the Iowa. Hope this project goes well. 1914 is impressive
Excellent, you got a dry dock. What are they going to do when they get that old boat squared away? Haze grey and underway? It would be cool if she could sail out of there.
so good
The last time I saw the battleship Texas was in 1989 when she was in drydock in Galveston, but I had forgotten about the different shade of blue she was sporting.
Imagine doing this with the Bismarck 😍
Almost wishing there was enough money in the budget to put back the old 'birdcages' of the original design.
Isn't this the same robo voice from movie recap!?
She's a beauty, Ive seen her 2 times and cant wait to go back.
What a beauty
They sure knew how to make beautiful ships back then.
Oh that’s a beautiful battleship
She should have never gotten into this bad of shape!
Can't wait to see the restoration drone pictures in the year 4040!
But, they're gonna put the guns back, right? RIGHT?
Wow, I donated a small amount for the restauration as part od WOWS Valor.. I never thought they would be able to do the restauration.... Nice.
Battleship, thought it was a dreadnought
Billions to preserve. Just to keep reminders of War .Scap it sell it use the money help and feed people
Go Big Tex! I hope and pray you find a permanent home and come back strong! Just like the men serving on you for a couple of generations.
In one week I'll be there, to tour her in drydock.
I saw her for the first time 2 weeks ago on a cruise ship. I didn't realize she was there until we passed. It was a cool moment as 5 years ago I was at Point Du Hoc in France and have pictures of myself at the bottom of craters she helped create nearly 80 years ago.
Как же хорошо что исторический корабль сохраняться. Удачи в реконструкции!
I'm so glad they raised enough money to get her in dry dock. Piece of history right there.
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💪💪💪
That ship is going to look sick when it's done
It's crazy I can still see the call of duty map on there.
looks good to me！keep up the good work👍
We can refurbished it and equip it with hypersonic missiles together with its big guns. Replace the engines and equip with state of the art technologies. Dreaming.....
Well done 👍
Turn it into a 4 day 3 night museum cruise ship..with a general quarters call. 50 cal shooting display(blanks). Navy meals. Battleship at sea experience!
My father a retired sailor took us to Texas and we went aboard this Battleship. That was around 1970 or so. I was a young man, still in college. Miss you Dad! - Peter age 72
I wish they had saved Nevada, the only ship to get underway during the Pearl Harbor attack. Alas, she is gone forever.
Wish we can make new Battleship
Her service record during WWII alone very easily earned her the right to be restored and maintained. Texas was very nearly obsolete by the time WWII hit, but that didn't stop her from being absolutely badass in every single instance that she fought.
Thank you for sharing!
