@@Spooky_Platypus My brother in Christ, did our friend Mike Brady from OceanlinerDesigns come to your house this morning, root your mom and your dad in the living room while you watches tv and then shit in your cereal on his way out the door?

Heck, I have never even watched a single one of his Titanic videos (personally just dont find Titanic interesting/appealing enough to continually watch content about it) yet Ive seen a plethora of his other videos, which are much more relevant to my own interests (military/war/mystery/unsolved/shipwrecks/accidents/disasters/discoveries/ informative/deep-dives, the list goes on, but he covers it all) If he didn't make videos about anything except the Titanic then how in tarnation have I, someone who hasn't watched a single one of his Titanic videos, been able to watch a wide-ranging proverbial laundry list of non-Titanic videos..?

I took a course in Navigation from a Retired Royal Navy Volunteer Vice Commander. He said that most people don't realize that weather conditions in the triangle area are very unpredictable, since you have a meeting of the several different wind and water currents cause all sorts of unexpected meteorological phenomenon. You could be in clear weather yet five miles away in one direction another ship could be in dense fog and in another direction a ship could be in a gale.
During my three and a half years serving on a US Navy ship in the early 1980s, we sailed through the "Bermuda Triangle" many times, never saw anything strange. I consider the whole thing a hoax. Bad weather conditions and hidden rocks (especially around Bermuda) account for the sinkings, and missing planes too. Also rogue waves can come out of nowhere. We were hit by one, set on our dide but then our ship righted itself. No need for supernatural nonsense, the Sea is dangerous enough.
My theory on Mary Celeste is that the fumes made them fear an explosion due to electric atmospheric weather. They used a towed lifeboat (as was the SOP of the day) and either someone didnt secure it properly, or the ship movement and rubbing of the rope made it give, leaving them adrift in a vast ocean.
That does seem to be the most likely theory. Part-Time Explorer has an excellent video about the Mary Celeste, where he goes through all the theories, and he too comes to the conclusion, that this is by far the most plausible theory.
The guy on the warratah that left after recurring horrific dubiously-waking nightmares sounds EXACTLY like carbon monoxide poisoning. As a child the unfortunate house I was born into had a leaky furnace that the sketchy landlord insisted was "inspected and safe", despite my mother, a nursing student one year from graduation, claiming that it leaked. Well after being there for maybe a year I still, to this day, vividly remember the weird and oftentimes horrific visions and nightmares I'd get randomly throughout the day, usually at night. The recurring ones involved these monsters that I can only describe as pink furry teletubbies fused with "white people wendigo" (antlered skeleton-lookin cryptid with freakish limbs), though with only antlers and no deer skull for a head, but with faces that kinda looked like Thomas the Tank Engine's angry face from series 1 all melted. Importantly, as a toddler and young child my favorite shows growing up were Thomas and Friends, Teletubbies, and Sesame Street (I know, so unique to every other early 2000s child), and not only did my grandparents have many deer skulls in their house (grandpa likes to hunt), by dad had mounted antlers he kept in the living room. Also I got sick like you wouldn't believe in that place, to the point that my parents thought I had some rare genetic disease or something. I never saw more than three, and they were always watching me, and at its worst intensity one of these creepy tall things crouched down and tried approaching me in bed as I was trying to sleep, and to this day I have no idea if I was awake when I saw that or not. For like 18 years I wondered wtf I had seen in that house until I learned that the reason we left was because my mom knew a guy that was a health inspector, and he took one step in the kitchen (which was right next to the furnace and where my parents kept getting sick) with a carbon monoxide detector, saw it go haywire, and legit asked "how tf are y'all not deas yet?" So TL;DR, I suspect that engineer dude had monoxide-influenced nightmares, so even if that ship hadn't've sunk it was still a good call for him to get outta dodge for (what should be) obvious reasons.
You forgot to mention that the alcohol carried by the Mary Celeste was *denatured* alcohol. It contained high amounts of methanol. It would be fatal if consumed in even small amounts. Such alcohol is used for industrial purposes and as a fuel. The added methanol makes it undrinkable so high drinking alcohol taxes can be avoided. And if I understand correctly, one barrel was damaged and empty upon salvage. As for what happened to the crew, it is a mystery that may never be solved.
Thank you. This is a really important detail as to why the "crew got drunk on the cargo" theory was silly speculation, even at the time. It was industrial alcohol and essentially poisonous. The crew knew this and would NOT have drank it.
USS Jupiter was the sister ship of the Cyclops, she was converted to an aircraft carrier in the 1920s and was recommissiondd as USS Langley. On 1942, she was attacked by Japanese aircraft and was hit by five bombs, causing critical damage. After her surviving crew members were rescued, Langley was scuttled by torpedoes fired by her escorting destroyers.
My thought is either that, or even just a larger-than-average wave (not rogue wave) that caused catastrophic failure of one or more cargo hatch. Manganese ore has a tendency to become a slurry when it gets wet. So water rushing into one of the cargo holds would quickly create a slurry that could force the ship to sink like a rock.
the waratah had issues with the padding between the boiler and the coal bunker, they where trying to fix it in time and the engeneers didnt want to allow it to leave but where forced by the owner, also the ship rolled almost 45 degrees and took forever to go back they knew this and the crew didnt know how to load the cargo properly yet, so yeah me thinks it torched or rolled since it was a big storm coming from nowhere at the time.
Did you see that documentary where the lady was studying rogue waves? She got satellite imagery, n found a 100 foot wave occurs every month on average. Crazy stuff! I'm surprised I haven't heard mire about it outside that documentary. It's the kind of info that sticks with a person.
Yah, it looks like the Cyclops course would have paralleled the edge of the Bahama shelf, an area with perfect conditions to kick up rogue waves with no nearby storm required. The combination of various possible wave sources and sudden depth changes makes the Bahama bank unpridictable for potential constructive interference of wave frequencies. [Details as I recall from a firsthand report some years ago, from the crew]. A 400' US Navy frigate got hit by one in that same alley. The sailors said the sea got freaky still and flat for a few moments, then a 10+ meter wave rose up out of apparent nowhere and slammed them broadside and washed over the deck, jarring and rocking the ship mightily, causing a few injuries. A less sturdy or more burdened vessel could literally split a seam from that kind of sudden impact.
Waratah's sinking was probably caused by a rogue wave, common on the SE coast of Africa, where strong SW winds come up against the fast-flowing southwesterly-setting Agulhas current. It is standard practice on that coast that, when the wind has any southerly component, to navigate the vessel within the 50 fathom (100m) depth contour, i.e. to closely hug the coast, where the Agulhas current is either considerably weaker, or non-existent due to a northeasterly-setting counter-current.

They were given one half of the planet to exploit by the Pope. The Spanish were given the other half. The dividing line that was drawn on the map survives as the frontier between the States of Western and South Australia. This line is known by the locals today as "The Pope's line". I lived in Oman and the UAE, there were dozens of Portugese forts around the coast of the Arabian seas. I met many Indians and Sri Lankans with Portuguese surnames like DaSilva and Fernandez. Did you know the Japanese deep fried dish Tempura was bought to Japan by the Portuguese? I suspect they even introduced it to the UK.
@@brittakriep2938 They have a pretty decent military still. It's just strictly for defense now. Invading Switzerland today would be a bad idea. Plus all the former soldiers keep their service rifle after discharge. So regular citizens are another line of defense.
Could also have added København (Copenhagen). One of the largest sailing ships in the world, when it disappeared without a trace in the Southern Atlantic in 1928.
Fascinating , these mysteries. Those that believe that on the Day of Judgement the Sea will give up her Dead will, unfortunately, have other things to do.
Heard about the Waratah in my childhood growing up in Durban as my Grandfather was the man who took Claude Sawyer (the engineer) to the ticket office to cancel his passage. He wasn't a crew memer but a passenger from Switzerland rerturning to his home. The area of the east coast of South Africa south of Durban is known for a high frequency of "rogue"waves and we always thought she had simply encountered one in the storm that occurred during her passage. LIkely capsized easily owing to the stability problems. It is a bit strange that no trace was ever found despite many searches over the years including a lot of recent ones in the 2000's funded by "Clive Cussler" the American author. I rememer when they announced they'd found her only to discover later that it was a WW2 wreck that had been sunk by a U-Boat. Had a cargo of M3 Stuart light tanks on board bound for North Africa. I don't believe the Waratah will ever be found.
They say that around 3 million ships sank around the world. It doesn't surprise me at this point. The weathers on the ocean are far more violent than on land. If gasses rise from the bottom you're going down like a rock. They claim even air planes crashed due to some weird gasses. I was kind of surprised learning that 3000000 ships have sunken. Unimagineable!
From Durban to Cape Town, you are going through the Aghulas current, known to produce freak wave phenomena - could be a reason too. If you go for unsolved sinking, have a eye on Hapag Lloyds "Munich", a Barge carrier that sunk under unclear circumstances in 1978.
Forgot to include, the 'coincidence' of the Cyclops sister ships, which BOTH ALSO DISAPPEARED, in the BERMUDA TRIANGLE∆!!! The ship 'Del Gratia' that found, the 'Mary Celeste', also started out behind, the ill fated, Mary Celeste. And found NOT BY, mere chance. The crew couldn't of gotten blitzed, off their own cargo, as it was INDUSTRIAL alcohol (the non-drinking variety). How could a waterspout, cause a pressure change in instruments, showing the ship, taking on water🤔??? And alcohol fumes don't explode, they just ignite, and burn blue.
@@williestreiff9314 Didn't you watch the video? That was investigated during and after the war. The German Navy didn't have any subs or ships in the area.
I know a story like that as well. I knew the man when I was very little, but my father knew him quite well. And I heard the story from my father's. It was somewhere last century, maybe late in war or afterwards, that the Netherlands had many mouth to feed, but too less food. So they sent a convoi, I believe of five cargo ships to America for grain. The man i talk about maintained the fire on the ship. It was a steam vessel. After loading in America, they set sail for Europe again. They got into a storm, closed all possible hatches and went underneath. The ship barely held it together and the man I knew of, felt like Jonah. But he also did like Jonah. He felt on his knees and asked for God's salvation. The time he did, he felt like there was a big hand lifting the ship. God brought them safe home. But when better wheater had come, they were the only vessel left from the convoi. The others had sinked. Also, I remember that when they got out of underneath onto the deck. There was nothing left on the deck. Nothing. It's from there that they say 'making clean ship' Dutch saying.
Small pedantic correction: the ship that found Mary Celeste was the Dei Gratia ("By the Grace of God") not the Del Gratia. Understandable typeface confusion in the script, no doubt.
Waratah, comes from the Eora Aboriginal word 'warada' meaning 'beautiful' or 'seen from afar'. I'm sure they pronounce it differently from the anglicized version.
As for the Flor Do Mar if some private hunter did find it I doubt very much they would say, Hey look what we found. That's because of the dispute over the loot.
Well the thing with manganese is that either the dust is very flamable or the ore itself reacts with water into hydrogen so my guess is a freak lightning strike or a spark of some kind ignited either the dust or hydrogen and kaboom no odyssey anymore
Bleck i would have loved to sail on say HMS victory or constellation the galleon caravelle thing makes me sea sick though.....mind you ive sailed wooden traditional square riggers as well as every other manner of boat and never been sick a day in my life.
My theory for the disappearance of the U.S.S. Cyclops is this...!! The cracked engine caught fire and as it spread it may have ignited the magnesium in the hold..!! And if you have never seen what happens when burning magnesium does if you don't know how to put out the flames.... If (and more than likely) the didn't have the proper extinguishers and not knowing they hit the fire with water..... And ... KKAA BBOOOOMM With that much onboard that ship would be vaporizered
First, it is an error to assume that people ignore or forgot that this is and was a very real human tragedy. Further, arguing over what-pair-of-shoes did or did not contain a human remains at the time it rested on the sea floor (REGARDLESS OF DEPTH) seems to be OUTSIDE the area of SANE human discussion. You might as well go to the Alamo and make up an argument about who was holding a doped Calvary Saber or, or more ridiculous still is say you found a piece of metal at the site of the Alamo and need to argue whether in belonged to Jim Bowie or not and which way up he died. Humans die in ways and in positions you could NEVER imagine and the need to dwell on these facts seem a pastime for only those who need their medication adjusted.

My option on the U.S.S. Cyclopes is Occam's razor, a rouge wave.

My thought is either that, or even just a larger-than-average wave (not rogue wave) that caused catastrophic failure of one or more cargo hatch.

Cyclops may have encountered a rogue wave .
That's what happened. A model of the Cyclops was made and it sank in a wave tank. The design of the ship was unstable.

Yah, it looks like the Cyclops course would have paralleled the edge of the Bahama shelf, an area with perfect conditions to kick up rogue waves with no nearby storm required. The combination of various possible wave sources and sudden depth changes makes the Bahama bank unpridictable for potential constructive interference of wave frequencies.

From Durban to Cape Town, you are going through the Aghulas current, known to produce freak wave phenomena - could be a reason too. If you go for unsolved sinking, have a eye on Hapag Lloyds "Munich", a Barge carrier that sunk under unclear circumstances in 1978.
Forgot to include, the 'coincidence' of the Cyclops sister ships, which BOTH ALSO DISAPPEARED, in the BERMUDA TRIANGLE∆!!! The ship 'Del Gratia' that found, the 'Mary Celeste', also started out behind, the ill fated, Mary Celeste. And found NOT BY, mere chance. The crew couldn't of gotten blitzed, off their own cargo, as it was INDUSTRIAL alcohol (the non-drinking variety). How could a waterspout, cause a pressure change in instruments, showing the ship, taking on water🤔??? And alcohol fumes don't explode, they just ignite, and burn blue.
Having that door open gives me the creeps 😂I keep waiting for a scary shadow to appear at of the darkness
ugh, i hate when the boats de-spawn !!
Ok September is atound the corner iv been having a great summer, but its time for a simon binge!
this reminds me of South Park's James Cameron song
I think the American voyage was called the Three Ships. The First Fleet was the fleet of 11 ships sent to Australia.
Has anyone considered aliens? Lizard Overlords never sleep.

Cyclops lost her only eye
@@hamiltoncouple01 it was probably torpedoed
@@hamiltoncouple01 No wreckage. That was aliens. Allegedly. Or somebody f-ed up royally.
@@williestreiff9314 Didn't you watch the video? That was investigated during and after the war. The German Navy didn't have any subs or ships in the area.
The engineer on the Waratah wasn't a crew member. He was a passenger.
USS Rona also has an interesting story
i'm gonna go with wendigoon's explanation for all these mysteries: the kraken did it.
HOLY CHITE. Are you trying to tell me "boats can sink" 😅 the magnets hold them up!! Everybody knows that. Keep up
I know a story like that as well. I knew the man when I was very little, but my father knew him quite well. And I heard the story from my father's. It was somewhere last century, maybe late in war or afterwards, that the Netherlands had many mouth to feed, but too less food. So they sent a convoi, I believe of five cargo ships to America for grain. The man i talk about maintained the fire on the ship. It was a steam vessel. After loading in America, they set sail for Europe again. They got into a storm, closed all possible hatches and went underneath. The ship barely held it together and the man I knew of, felt like Jonah. But he also did like Jonah. He felt on his knees and asked for God's salvation. The time he did, he felt like there was a big hand lifting the ship. God brought them safe home. But when better wheater had come, they were the only vessel left from the convoi. The others had sinked. Also, I remember that when they got out of underneath onto the deck. There was nothing left on the deck. Nothing. It's from there that they say 'making clean ship' Dutch saying.
The Mary Celeste was the Daleks. Everyone knows that 🙄
Mike? . . .did you get a haircut? I'm confused. . .
“Five Guys Murder My Thighs”; it’s a name I’ve been sitting on for a while but I think it’s time for it to see the light of day.
Gotta feed that algorithm. You know, yacht and italy
Sad that København was not in this video
Lets gooo
I think alcohol fumes made them go to the lifeboat. The knot came loose in the rough seas. They push this as a mystery when it's really not.
SS Baychimo?
one second recap. they sank.
No plugs for DTU when you’ve covered two of them in depth there?
Small pedantic correction: the ship that found Mary Celeste was the Dei Gratia ("By the Grace of God") not the Del Gratia. Understandable typeface confusion in the script, no doubt.
They’re becoming common, though. I don’t remember him mispronouncing things. Lately, several videos have it.
@@dragonsdynamite6403bro he's always mispronounced things since the top10s videos.
@@itarry4 well, old enough to remember when he first started doing these videos, sis.
Let's go find the Cyclops!
The ship is sinking, grab what you can *grabs anchor* ⚓
Waratah, comes from the Eora Aboriginal word 'warada' meaning 'beautiful' or 'seen from afar'. I'm sure they pronounce it differently from the anglicized version.
The Mary Celeste fell victim to Vampire Pirates.......
As for the Flor Do Mar if some private hunter did find it I doubt very much they would say, Hey look what we found. That's because of the dispute over the loot.
At least they don't have oceangate making ships that run on controllers 😂
2:50
Nevermind the oceans. Look into the great lakes.. lake Superior is known for being wild and unpredictable
Well the thing with manganese is that either the dust is very flamable or the ore itself reacts with water into hydrogen so my guess is a freak lightning strike or a spark of some kind ignited either the dust or hydrogen and kaboom no odyssey anymore
Cabin boy 2as severely flogged.
The Mary Celeste was carrying industrial alcohol not drinkable kind
That the liquor and sink the ship and bootleg the cargo would have gotten them more
Last of the Irish Rover
So did anybody try turning the Bermuda Triangle off and back on? It might spit out a few ships while rebooting.
They only go to one place, the briny deep.
Bleck i would have loved to sail on say HMS victory or constellation the galleon caravelle thing makes me sea sick though.....mind you ive sailed wooden traditional square riggers as well as every other manner of boat and never been sick a day in my life.
Danger will Robinson
Hair raising flame - over below deck. Scared the shit out of them.
Starfishes ate them!!
according to doctor who it was the daleks who caused the crew of marie celeste abandoned ship.
Without = one word.
Didnt the navy have planes go missing while searching for the Cyclops?
That was “Flight 19” A squadron of navy planes did go missing in the Bermuda Triangle area but that was in 1945 and not related to the Cyclops
@@davidpearson3304A search plane did go missing while searching for Flight 19, but you’re right that it had no relation to the Cyclops.
It’s without not with out.
It isn't Del but Dei Gratia ( the grace of God)
Tokoloshe eated the Waratah
So youtube gives me an ad for ship cruises at the start of the video….
Just curious but why couldn't they just add big air bags incase a ship tries to sink and just float on big floaties 😂
I love your videos great content well done 👍
Same thumbnail 3 years ago on this very channel.
My theory for the disappearance of the U.S.S. Cyclops is this...!!
The cracked engine caught fire and as it spread it may have ignited the magnesium in the hold..!!
And if you have never seen what happens when burning magnesium does if you don't know how to put out the flames....
If (and more than likely) the didn't have the proper extinguishers and not knowing they hit the fire with water.....
And ...
KKAA BBOOOOMM
With that much onboard that ship would be vaporizered
First, it is an error to assume that people ignore or forgot that this is and was a very real human tragedy.
Further, arguing over what-pair-of-shoes did or did not contain a human remains at the time it rested on the sea floor (REGARDLESS OF DEPTH) seems to be OUTSIDE the area of SANE human discussion. You might as well go to the Alamo and make up an argument about who was holding a doped Calvary Saber or, or more ridiculous still is say you found a piece of metal at the site of the Alamo and need to argue whether in belonged to Jim Bowie or not and which way up he died.
Humans die in ways and in positions you could NEVER imagine and the need to dwell on these facts seem a pastime for only those who need their medication adjusted.

This is stupid, a man discovers a treasure, does he tell the local authorities?
It’s kind of hard to mount a major salvage operation without someone noticing.
Cruiseshopping
so the lost columbus ships are in the vatican basement right?
Im calling dids on the shipwreck
Without is always spelled as one word.
we cant find you. still missing...
