- Technical Analysis made by UK/EC Assessor of the Derbyshire Sinking with animation and narration step by step 🚢 #DerbyshireSinking #TechnicalAnalysis #MaritimeHistory
MV Derbyshire, a magnificent ore-bulk-oil combination carrier built in 1976 by Swan Hunter, proudly stands as the final masterpiece of the Bridge-class sextet. Registered at Liverpool and owned by the renowned Bibby Line, this vessel sailed the seas with grace and might. #MaritimeHistory #EngineeringMarvel
The Derbyshire was lost on 9 September 1980 during Typhoon Orchid, south of Japan. 💔 All 42 crew members and two of their wives were killed in the sinking. #RIP #Tragedy #TyphoonOrchid
At 91,655 gross register tons, she was the largest British ship ever to have been lost at sea. 🚢 #History #Maritime #Titanic

I am into ship history and disasters for 30 years...
When i first heard of the MV Derbyshire about ten years ago, I could hardly believe it.
A 300m Vessel sinking in about 2 minutes beacuse of broken hatch covers is surreal, disturbing and truly horrifying.
You were ,and are , absolutely correct.
it was sinking for like 12 hours not 2 minutes
" Oh hear us when we cry to Thee, for those in peril on the sea..."
2 minutes start to finish?!They barely knew what was to come.
God rest their souls
Water ingress through the hatches is also what sank the Edmund Fitzgerald. Photos and video from the wreck clearly show hatch clamps not dogged at all. Not broken mind you, just not being used.
Whether they were clamped down or not, the fact that the cargo holds still imploded means they were not flooded as Derbyshire sank. The only intact piece is the tip of the bow.
shoulda had sensors up front to tell you what's going on 4blocks away
Well they do now because of this disaster
I liked the info, but the tradegy is beyond a thumbs up. Really useful video on a historic tragic event. 😥
Thanks for your comment. Indeed, this tragedy gave us a lot of thoughts and lessons.
Subsequent to the initial accident report, wasn’t failure of the foredeck stores hatch cover dispelled? Didn’t remnants of rope from cats cradle over the hatch indicate that the hatch had been blown off as the ship sank, as opposed to have been the originating cause, with the initial cause having been actually attributed to water ingress through vents? Ultimately the same outcome after she started to ride low in the bow, BUT important in respect to any suggestion of poor seamanship in the initial investigation (though not suggested in this video) that may have attributed to the failure of the foredeck hatch cover.
I think that store hatch cover just refused to close and that rope configuration was the next best thing, but yeah whether blown off before or after the final plunge it didn't matter too much.
2 minutes?! Yikes that is crazy.
well that was horrifying.
Why did they not pump out the very 1st section that took 12hours to fill ,the ship would have rode better .
No sensors at the time to tell them there was flooding.
WTF???? 2 minutes? I find that almost impossible to believe.
There's actually footage of a similar ship to Derbyshire being scuttled, video starts when a hatchway fails and takes ~40 seconds to go down in calm seas. ua-cam.com/video/eoHD3VfhYxo/v-deo.html
Not when you consider the video said 25 meters waves were pummelling the ship, it must have been horrifying. May they RIP.
@@stevenbaer9061 it was fucking frightening to watch. Why arent there longitudinal lashing the length of the hull???? It's happened more than once right?
@@ocln2481 fucking frightening. There are modern materials that can't sink, why don't they use them? Modern construction is archaic.
@@the-naked-sailor much braver souls than me to be sailing the oceans. Must be scary as hell whent he realization hits that the ship is going down in a raging storm.
The sea is unforgiving
Especially when it is whipped up in a typhoon/hurricane. Must be terrifying to be on ship in a storm like that.

240p in 2021. Riiiight.
It is a video from the 1990s, originally uploaded to UA-cam 11 years ago and (at least for headphone users) this reupload fixes the audio coming from one side, which is nice.
