I lived in Portland when Jantzen was going full throttle. There was even a swim park named Jantzen Beach they had in north Portland near the Columbia River. Wearing a Jantzen item was a status thing. I used to love going thru the racks of their swim suits looking at the designs and looking for the coolest one. Jantzen was a leader in current designs. They went further than just plain one color prudish attire. Thanks for the memories.
lol this reminds me of shorts. in the 1950’s my grandma and her friend were in the newspaper (maybe the hartford courant) for wearing shorts in public. in the summer. by the beach. they were considering making it illegal in the town she was in 😂. she clipped out the article and we still have it today
Australia had beach inspectors who measured the length of the bikini. Tough job….😬😬😬 “The bikini had debuted at a Paris poolside a few months before - it was named after the Bikini Atoll, which had been used for nuclear testing by the French - and for the next twenty years, it provoked clashes between the Beach Inspectors and young female beach goers. According to Aub Laidlaw, the first woman who wore a bikini at Bondi in October 1946 was mobbed by a crowd of wolf-whistling and cat-calling boys who tried to undo the tie string of her bikini top. She was escorted out the back of the pavilion and onto a tram. Laidlaw was a regular on the beach over the next twenty years, patrolling the beach with a tape measure, making sure the swimming costumes met regulations.”
And here I've been thinking "naturalists are some weird nekkid goofs", but turns out instead I'm one of them and I'm fully clothed! - Well, mostly, I'm missing a sock. And I'm probably a bit of a weird goof too. Not a nekkid one tho.
My grandpa was drafted into the U.S. Navy within a month of the bombs being dropped on Japan, and he was present at the Bikini Atoll in the first test there, in 1946 (operation crossroads). He said he skinned his inner thighs sliding down a coconut tree he climbed, and he also told me about how he helped the scientists set up the cameras and the animals in cages, before the atom bomb test. Apparently, the boys in the navy got 2 beer tickets back then, but my grandpa didn’t drink at the time (he was born in 1927).
I’m surprised, but watching you go into detail about all these things he recounted to me when I was a little boy, I almost feel as though I’ll cry. He was a very good man, my grandfather, and I still miss him.
My dad was also at Bikini while in the navy (1yr in). His ship was the last one turned away from Hawaii and sunk about 100mi away. He told me about them having to sit heads in laps "until the bright flash was gone", scrubbing the ships down, and having to help start the engines. He passed from several cancers in 1980.
If you watch the final years of Majuro documentary by wendover productions where they interview people from Bikni atoll and and a number of Polynesians who have lived in the marshal islands there entire life them saying “it’s in the hands of god” is actually them saying the exact opposite of what you said they meant. They actually were very against the tests and them giving up there land for it

On the hills of the Derbyshire Peak District not far from where I live are the sad scattered remains (quite substantial wreckage), of what was once a Boeing RB29 Superfortress Photo Recon aircraft. This plane crashed in 1948 killing all 13 crew. This aircraft was named 'Overexposed', a name that it was given while being used by the 509th Composite Group to photograph atomic weapon tests as part of Operation Crossroads at Bikini Atoll during 1946. Just a little piece of history from the other side of the world scattered on the Derbyshire moorland.
No, we don't. These trigger happy war mongers acted like children with enormous fire crackers, and poisoned the entire planet. Dont think so? Scientists can tell what wood was harvested before 1946. Wood carvings, and other things like furniture have trace amounts of radio active isotopes if they were alive after the late 40s and early 1950s. Every tree in the world has them now.

Ah...so that is why when you cross the Columbia River from Vancouver, Washington to Portland, Oregon on Intetstate 5 the first exit is to an island in the river and the industrial area of Jantzen Beach.
there was a Japanese fishing boat near the coast of Japan whose entire crew was irradiated and slowly died off one by one then, finally received a huge settlement from the US after this, as well
I think that was a later test at a different atol. The one where they had to build a concrete tomb to contain the radioactive waste from the test. The first hydrogen bomb if I'm not mistaken. It's in one of Simon's other videos from a few months ago.
From what I understand from the lore of the show. Bikini bottom is at the bottom of Bikini attol. The reason all our beloved sea creatures are the way they are is due to radiation in the water after the tests. Maybe its actually just a theory, a film theory. But I remember that as the reason.
The truth is a nuclear weapon would annhilate a surface fleet. At least the personel on them. And likely the ships themselves would be unsuitable for use afterwards. But the aircraft carrier negated most surface fleets anyway, save destroyers and submarines.
There are 2 great things about bikini. Just how good a women looks wearing one; and much more importantly how it taught humanity to FEAR NUCLEAR WEAPONS. That fear keeps us alive. Quite ironically, how women look in a bikini, gave us a reason to live. GOD, as it where, has a sense of humor 😉😋🇺🇸.
I knew the bikini atoll was a thing, and the tests there, and figured the bikini was named after the area... i didn't know it was because of the TESTING. that's... disgusting, honestly. the past was the worst.
