- From strange and mysterious cruise ships, to the biggest oil tankers in the world; these are 10 GIANT Abandoned Ships !
HEY YOU ! There are more awesome videos being made every week, like and subscribe to World Unearthed so you don't miss a beat !
5.Temple Hall
Finding information on this shipwreck was harder than I thought ! Built in 1954, the Temple Hall changed many owners during its years of operation.
On a voyage from San Pedro to Thessaloniki, the ship was stuck between a rock and a hard wave so to say. Bad weather, heavy seas, and no luck to be found, the Temple Hall, now known as the Telamon ran aground near the Canary Island, Lanzarote.
It didn’t help that the maintenance record for the ship was abysmal, you can still find it at the exact same spot, some 40 years after it wrecked.
4.Zeila Shipwreck
Zeila was a fishing trawler way past its prime, and its also the smallest ship on this list. Built in 1975, the trawler did its job until the late 2000s. By 2008, it was on its way to Bombay to be used as scrap metal. Unfortunately, the Zeila’s tow line snapped and the ship headed for the shore.
If you follow this channel, you know my fascination with the Skeleton Coast of Namibia. Just another example of why this strange and bizarre place is worth a visit.
3.Mega One Triton
With a name like that, you might expect something a bit bigger than 700 tonnes, but life aint fair kid.
During Hurricane Sandy, Mega One Triton was one of the unlucky vessels that was ran aground due to the weather. Since 2012, it has become a tourist destination for those that are interested in urban exploration. This counts as urban exploration right? After all, it is RIGHT ON THE BEACH ! The local government strongly advises the public to stay away from the wreck since the ship is deteriorating very fast, but I’m not sure anyone is heeding their advice.
There was plans to remove the ship from the coastline by December of last year, has it happened yet? I don’t think so.
2.Agios Dimitrios
This shipwreck was also trick to find, I have some contradicting information the exact name of the ship. I found sources that listed it as MV Cornelia, and others that called it Dimitrios. So, if anyone can shed some light on the subject that would be great !
The ship was built in 1950 and its history is a bit, mysterious. Stories of smuggling cigarettes and ghosts have been circling since it wrecked in 1981.
The cigarette smuggling story is much more believable, sorry ghost hunters. It goes something like this, the Dimitrios was seized at port after contraband cigarettes were found on board. Instead of paying the fines and dealing with authorities, the ship was purposefully released from the port and left to run aground, where all the evidence was set on fire.
What do you think? Plausible?
1.Ocean Dream
I have been WAITING to write about this cruise ship for MONTHS now ! I finally found enough pictures to entertain you with while I haphazardly try to explain its story.
Built in the 70s under the name “Spirit of London” this cruise ship enjoyed a long career in the high seas, providing comfort and entertainment for many people. But all good things must come to an end, and in February 2016, the Ocean Dream met old lady fate. Whats crazy is that the cruise ship was sold for scrap metal in 2009, but before it was destroyed, another cruise company.
Turns out, those guys weren’t cool at all. They left the ship near Laem Chabang in Thailand, the cruiseliner was abandoned for over a year by crew and maintenance, it finally capsized in February of 2016.
I would definitely suggest NOT booking a cruise on the Ocean Dream, even though the website is still offering it ! There is evidence that a company tried to salvage the ship, but I don’t think it's happening any time soon. - Розваги
Hope everyone enjoyed the video :D, let me know which one of these abandoned shipwrecks you thought was the coolest !
p.s. Have a great weekend :D
World Unearthed pease greet me!!!
World Unearthed pease say Hello i'm from argentine
You too! What a great video!
MV Rena? MV Wahine? Two from NZ
Greetings and cheers !
Actually, the crew that salvaged the New Carissa were under contract to remove all traces of the ship from the island / water. There is a video on UA-cam of the salvage and its pretty impressive to see how it was done
It's amazing
You have two different ships named "Ocean Dream". The one launched in 1972 (as Spirit of London) is a Norwegian vessel and is the one capsized off Laem Chabang, Thailand. The other ship was launched in 1982 in Australia and is still in service, chartered to the NGO Peace Boat since 2012.
Mmm.. seems like some retardation going on.
Once sailed as the "MV Sun Princess".... one of the P&O "Love Boats"...
Starred in the 1975 "Columbo" episode titled "Troubled Waters"
Awesome video, can you do one for planes or trains?
Yes
LOVE VIDEOS LIKE THIS
Thanks :D
Yayish Lord Me too
My coworker and I just did the math on the soybeans. 66,000 tons would equal roughly 2.3 million bushels. The average semi carries, for simplicity in math, 980 bushels. Divide the 2.3 million by 980 and you get right around 2,350 semi loads. The elevator we work at isn't huge, but on an average day during soybean harvest we can see over 250 trucks pass through in one day. So in right around 10 harvest days we'll see those trucks pass through.
So where do you find 66,000 tons of soybeans? One moderately big grain elevator in North Dakota for one place.
I grew up around this stuff, and the volume when we mathed it out kinda blew my mind, too.
Thank you for this comment ! A lot of people took my thoughts way too seriously :)
You're welcome. Yeah, 66,000 tons sounds big, but if you can boil it down to a number of something that you see driving down the highway every day, it puts it into a little easier perspective.
skinnypete1982 Awesome, Man!
Soybeans are exported by ship. They're a global commodity. Oh yeah, tofu still sucks.
John Thomson: Except U.S. soybean exports are now in the tank. In response to T-Rumps tariff war, China, our largest consumer of soybeans, increased soybean tariff 25%. China has also struck deals to purchase soybeans from more reliable sources...other countries. Taxpayers shelled out $12 Billion to bail out devastated soybean farmers this year. Who knows about future years.
You do an excellent job with the narration!! I wish 10% of the audio on YT vids were as good as yours. Keep up the great work. Subscribed!!
Just came across your channel. LOVE this video, thanks! I'll have to check out the rest of your work.
Thank you for the interesting stories!
fine presentation,
thx for making it possible,
Ahmad Kazemi yep
wood pulp carried by the New Carissa is used to make paper
It was wood chips bruh
8
Wood chips make wood pulp, duh 🙄
It's really quite awesome seeing Coos Bay on a top 10 video, I remember when the Carissa ran aground
Great vid! Excellent narrative.
The Ocean Dream is is the saddest. I worked for Premier Cruise Lines and she was the Star Ship Majestic at that time. I loved traveling to the Abacos Islands in the Bahamas. She was the smallest of the Premier ships but she was lovely. But oh that rounded hull without stabilizers, when she was going straight it was nice. When she turn just slightly she rocked side to side like a cradle. Sitting in the top lounge the conversation was "Oh look at the stars, now look at the water, oh look at the stars, now look at the water." It rocked that much.
Thank you, this was an awesome video. I appreciate all the research you did.
Boilers taps
I LOVE THESE KIND OF VIDEOS!!!!!
Idk why I am so obsessed with ship wrecks 🙈
Great video bro!
Watching + Learning from NSW Australia.
Thank you World Unearthed for the upload.

Nice vid
I absolutely love your videos! Keep it up
Narrator, your gullibility is stupendous.
Awesome videos!
Very interesting video. Thanks for posting it.
What a great video!
whoa they smuggled ghosts, that's pretty cool.
Very cool video
Was exploring Temple Hal cool wreck:)
# 2 was kinda spooky...... liked the vid...
Excellent video
Canary island, like the bird. Not cannery island, like the tin. Lol.
yea, he has a funny accent, or is it ooksent...thats it, ooksent
No, he understands what wood chips are used for, and he also understands how harvesting works, at least I hope so, what he said in the video is basically he doesn't understand why they would ship wood chips like that, probably because you can get them from chipping any trees, and he doesn't know how they could get that many tonnes of soybeans all at once. As for the concrete ships, not a lot of people would know about them, they weren't highly publicised or anything, they were meant for very temporary use to fill up certain rolls in the fleets then get discarded, I don't think the designers ever intended for any of them to last a few years, let alone the 100+ some of them have, though none were seaworthy for very long, most were repurposed as artificial reefs or as breakwaters, a few were sold to private parties like the one in the video.
There are concrete barges beached in the Severn Estuary (UK) and the famous Mulberry Harbours built with concrete in UK shipyards and floated to the French coast for the D-day landings. They can still be seen at French town of Arromanches-les- Bains.
Concrete 'ships' are still very common in The Netherlands. They are used for houseboats, very maintenance friendly if you compare them with wooden boats or metal ones.

You're channel is awesome!
Thanks for sharing! Believe it or not, back in 1997-1998, I have worked as a Cruise Staff on the M.V. Flamenco (Festival Cruise lines) which was sold to a Spanish cruise operator then renamed New Flamenco until it was sold again to become the Ocean Dream. Seeing the faith of that ocean liner was heartbreaking. This ship has been my home for 5 months. I've sailed on her from Savona Italy all the way to the Carribean and then back to Italy! I remember doing the bridge visits to our guests onboard. I remember doing our farewell shows in the Starlight Lounge. Dinning at the captain's table in it's main dinning room! Wish I could post some pictures here. Sad to see her last faith...
I was on #3, That beach has amazing snorkeling. The ship itself was pretty hazardous, mainly many barrels of oil seeping onto the decks and making them slick as ice.
The ship shown at the beginning of the "Ocean Dream" segment is a different ship with the same name that was launched in 1982 as "Tropicale" and apparently is still in operation.
Supply dock !
And this isn't quite true either: the "Ocean Dream" depicted at the beginning used be for some time "Costa Europa" (therefore the cilinder shape of the funnel), originally built for Home Lines ("Tropicale" - which was for some time "Costa Tropicale" - is a different ship). The one the story is about is one of the two sister ships from the early 1970s and was probably opearted for some time by Festival as "Flamenco". Smart looking ship, too bad she's gone.
The ocean dream is having a dream of it's own
you get soybeans from iowa, at least that much everyday . . .
wrong Iowa is number two in the soybean department second to Illinois
Don’t soybeans give men boobs 🤔 or is that something else?
@@ViggyIggy beer actually does that. Soybeans are mainly fed to cattle and pigs
Or used to make Soy Sauce.
Fascinating. I liked it.
Nice Video
You jut got a sub buddy, Keep the interesting videos up
SHIP HAPPENS
haha !
cheers :D
corney
You have seen gulivers travels
Good show keep up the good work
i grew up visiting the cement ship as locals called it, i thought it was so cool, if your ever in aptos i recommend visiting it
what the heck amazing you got a new subscriber
i literally just watched your glitches in the matrix vid on talltanic and now i've come here to watch this
Woah thats alot of abandoned ships ...
The one with the fuel leak, wow!
wood chips are used for boilers its a cleaner and sumwhat cheaper then burning coal
That’s why my shipment of beans didn’t arrive I’ll just order 59k beans next
Thanks for the video! I live in San Jose ,Calif and went to UCSC, which is only a few miles from the S.S. Palo alto (the concrete ship). I grew up going out and playing on that thing when I went to the beach... while probably a little unsafe for kids during storms, nonetheless going out there in bad weather can feel truly creepy and to all you around the world, if you're lucky enough to live close enough to go play around on any of these wrecks in childhood (or go out as adults to chief it up northern Cali style) I highly recommend it.
You have a new subscription
Some freighters in WW1 were built from concrete as steel was needed for warships and other needs. These ship used very high amounts of fuel and were not economical to run after the war. Most were sunk in the Chessapeak Bay in the 1920s.
Mega One Triton... sounds like a mecha.
not sure why this video has so many dislikes. its top quality.
Probably because he sounds like he has half a mouthful and can't pronounce simple words properly
I think you may want to watch again, look closely, research the facts, then actually come back and claim it’s top notch. The transition(s) - same one used 116 times, is nauseating, the script is poor, narrator needs speech therapy, and someone should spend an hour in the library (if they heard of such a place) and get their facts straight. Click bait bull shit.
The "selendang ayu"😂
Im dying
Yay u mentioned the ship from Costinești
TheOcean dream still has those good lifeboats. Although the ones on the sunken side might be a bit rusty.
Narrator: where do you get that many soy beans!
Me: MISSOURI

I lived in Coos Bay Oregon in the 60"s and Japanese ships came all the time to be filled with wood chips.
These could be ground up and make partial wood products like stereo speakers . These ships would be filled in a few days and a new ship would be there tomorrow. My father (a vet) would walk upon these vessels and we would be quite welcome by the crews!
Loved the video maybe one day you can do one about the Soviet Cruiser Murmansk.
Hey ! Guess what? I HAVE covered Murmansk before ! ua-cam.com/video/KLDmRfRWk3A/v-deo.html
Enjoy :D
World Unearthed Sorry for the late reply but Thanks!
Its also no longer there!! Its been recovered and scrapped, well, rather scrapped on site after building a giant dry dock to surround it
@@WorldUnearthed up up
Wood Chips are used in Japanese cook stoves. They're cheaper than coal. Soybeans are grown in Wisconsin.
Soybeans are actually the second most produced crop in America, first being corn.
Ship still has fuel in it... What a mystery.
Great site
Cool
What about the Costa Concordia?
The full story of that ship is very interesting
I love your intro
That was interesting
There is an abandoned ship near south manitou island in lake Michigan. You can see it from the lighthouse.
Hey what’s the back ground song on number 9?
Woooo
Excellent surfing at the Skeleton Coast. You can ride a wave for what seems like miles.
"it broke apart, as is customary" lol, When did it become a custom?
I was just in Grand Turk, and I can say the Mega One Triton is still there.
The picture used in 8:43 is of a different Ocean Dream which originated as a Carnival Ship named the Tropicale. It's not the same ship that capsized.
Hey world on earth nice job despite wat they say keep it up
nice video tho
Just a slight correction: The photo of the Ocean Dream you used, is of the Pullmantur ship Ocean Dream.. Which was the Tropicale for Carnival Cruise line, Later the Costa Tropicale, Pacific Star and ultimately Ocean Dream for both Pullmantur and Peace Boat. The Ocean Dream that sank was P&O's Spirit Of London, (originally designed as NCL's Seaward, but refused for delivery due to escalating prices at the shipyard). She later transferred to Princess Cruises and became the Sun Princess, the Starship Majestic, Southern Cross, Flamencol, New Flamenco and ultimately Ocean Dream.
Its interesting that the ships near sandy shores seem to help with beach erosion problems. Maybe useful in places.
well it acts as a breakwater to break the force of the waves and lessen the impact on the beach
roadsweeper1
Exactly! There are places that could benefit with ships parked strategically near beaches. Pushing sand around with bulldozers only seems to work until the next big storm.
6) A concrete ship? WTF? Whose idea was that?
Another concrete ship was the Atlantis. The wreck is in Cape May, NJ.
The SS Selma in Galveston Texas is another wrecked concrete ship that is considered a local landmark.
Interesting-i was not aware three of these sort of ships were wrecked.
There is also one that just resurfaced on South Coronado beach in California, after a large storm in 2016. It was buried in the sand where it washed up many years ago. Like the one in the video, it was made during the tail end of WW1, but didn't see service. A few years later, the Mob bought it, and towed it out to where it was just barely in international waters, and turned it into a casino/brothel. I guess it operated like that for quite a while, then a storm broke the moorings, and it washed up on the beach. With no one wanting to claim it, due to the illegal activity involved, it eventually sunk into the sand and was buried for many decades, until most everyone forgot it existed. There's a video about it here on UA-cam that shows a lot of good photos/video. The concrete ships may not have been very efficient, but the hulls sure do last forever.
The name of the video is "Mysterious Object Was Unearthed On The California Shore After Days Of Violent Storms", on the channel called "Did you Know?", if you want to check it out.
For number 1, you included photos of a different ship, the ship that was in good condition, called the ocean dream is a different ship that also had the same name as the one the capsized.
Number 4 was not as the skeleton coast but close . 14 km South of a small town called Henties bay in Namibia . But keep up the cool work
Number 6 they talked about the concert ship, that is interesting but the largest concert ship built is the Salina and is aground in Galveston bay and still visible from Seawolf park I grew up seeing this ship every time I went to Galveston and still look forward to seeing it
All those ships ran aground, apparently all the captains were Italian
Many ships have run aground that were not crewed by Italians!
Rogent X Yes the Romanian, Indonesian, Asian, Spanish, Namibian, Thai and Greek ships all had Italian captains you genius.
Francisco Silva I am aware of that, snowflake
r/wooosh
Rogent X. I thought it was hilarious!
7:55 the image is a mirror of the oryginal, the ship is faceing west.
Dmitrios II is in Cyprus, different ship to the one listed in number 2
#3. Can confirm removal hasn't happened yet. Was in Grand Turk 3 weeks ago. Still there :)
"Where the hell do you get 66 thousand tons of soy beans!?"
From soy farms, obvi.
Good Stories for good video
The SS Kyle ran around in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, Canada in 1967, and is still there. She was launched in 1913, and saw use in both world wars, transporting troops and supplies. She also served as an icebreaker. After 54 years of service, she ran aground while trying to avoid icebergs. It's in surprisingly good shape for a ship that's over 100 years old and has been abandoned for over 50 years.
Anyone else click because the thumbnail looked like a metal alligator??
Sadly, yes.
BS click bate, and i was thinking finally they did it, they built the ship in the shape of a alligator, UA-cam is click bate, click bate is UA-cam
The thumb doesn't look like an alligator, it is the last ship on the list, and it looks exactly like the last ship on the list on its side in the water just like the video shows it.
Skyfire The Goth Haha yeah my bad:)
I thought it was too
The picture of NO1 ship at 8.42 is the wrong ship. It is a different "Ocean Dream". Also, the "Ocean Dream" sank by 2017.
This video gae me that sinking feeling.
Ty
If you're wondering what the ship at number 2 is because you can't find the name. At 8:19 look where the name is, it says Demitrios.
To me learning about these concrete boats was really interesting. I had no idea these even existed so I left the video and did a search on the topic. Odd things they were and still today hobbyists bund concrete canoes for some competition.
Oh, the concrete boat number 6 in the video, here is what I found out:
The SS Palo Alto, a concrete tanker that was launched May 29, 1919, was purchased and turned into an amusement pier, and is still visible at Seacliff State Beach, near Aptos, California. 36.969704°N 121.913947°W[22] It broke up during a January 2017 storm.
Its crazy how some ships that have been there for decades look better than some ships that have been there for a few yeara
Because those old ships were build stronger than required.
before i saw this i thought the titanic would be here because it is still strange how certain species landed and with the 2 sinking theorys. Plus the one message that no officer got.
