My girlfriend in 1973, her father was on the QM when it collided with the Curacoa. He said it felt like a little bump, not much of anything and the QM never slowed down. He saw the halves of the ship passing by before they sank.

1973?

[@mikes7639]

Your not thinking how could you see both haves float by ? And 1973 maybe 1943 ?

[@lawrencelewis2592]

@@mikes7639 he did say he ws standing by the bow of the QM. Maybe he was full of BS about that. He also said the ship was a Corvette, not a cruiser which is wrong. 30 years later, his memory proably wasn't so hot.

[@lawrencelewis2592]

@@slytlygufy I corrected that.

8:50 Is that an actual photo of the wreck as it happened? Queen Mary looks real but the water splash around Curacao looks odd.

Harwich is pronounce Ha'rich - the "w" is silent for the British.

Ahh thank you, completely forgot that! Thanks for watching & have a great week :)

Thanks for the correction

Amazing how some British war ships look like Japanese war ships

[@HiddenHistoryYT]

It’s actually the other way around! The British were extremely influential on Japanese naval design in the early 1900s and actually even built some of them. Thanks for watching & have a great week :)

He who has the bigger ship has the right of way.

What was the navy ship doing so close. Ships don't have brakes like a car
