HEY YOU ! There are more awesome videos being made every week, like and subscribe to World Unearthed so you don't miss a beat !
9. Lady Be Good
8.Lyubov Orlova
Lyubov Orlova was named after the famous Russian actress by the same name. Built in 1976 by the USSR she served as an expedition cruise ship, traveling around the Arctic and Antarctica often.
In 2010, Lyubov Orlova was seized at St. John’s Port, Newfoundland because of accrued debts amounting to 251 thousand dollars.
It stayed at that Port for the next 2 years, and when it was being towed to the Dominican Republic to be scrapped, something happened. Not even 1 day into the journey, the tow lines broke and the ship drifted away…
Incredibly, she was captured again by a Transport Canada tug boat and dragged away to international waters…. Where she was cut loose.
The last time Lyubov Orlova was spotted was in 2013, near the coast of Iceland and Ireland.
By the way, I foolishly tried to find her on the marinetraffic website, but then I decided to check out some other ships, and as it turns out, for the LOW LOW LOW price of $157/year you can pick your favorite ship and never miss a beat !... or if for some reason you want to act like a pro and track up to 50 ships in real time, it will be $9,000 a year. What a steal haha.
7. Kee Bird
6.TSS Duke of Lancaster
The TSS stands for Twin-Screw Steamship or Steamer… meaning it has two screw propellers compared to a Single Screw steamer… which has one. The More you know !
From 1955 to 1979 the ship provided services for travelers around the United Kingdom until it was forever beached near Mostyn, North Wales.
At this point; The Duke of Lancaster was branded as the “Fun Ship” becoming a tourist attraction, but local politics made it almost impossible for the owners to operate the business.
5.US Navy Vought F4U Corsair airplane
4.MS World Discoverer
The World Discoverer was a cruise ship that operated from 1975 to 2000. Visiting such great spots as Antarctica, Argentina, Chile, and the Falkland Islands, the ship was loved by many… but on April 30th, 2000, the ship hit a huge uncharted rock near the Solomon Islands. All passengers were transported to safety while the Captain stayed on the ship, steering it into Roderick Bay.
At that point, the ship was considered a loss… and to this day, the World Discoverer remains at the same location. It has become somewhat of a tourist destination, being visited by other cruise ships in the area…. Which is kind of unsettling.
3. Atka B-24D Liberator
2.S.S. America
After its illustrious 54 year career, the S.S. America was being transported from Greece to Thailand to become a five star docked hotel ship. The journey began on New Years Eve 1993 and a few days later, during a massive storm, the tow ship Neftegaz 67 lost control of the cruise liner.
The S.S. America, now renamed the American Star found its way to the coast of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands and ran aground. Within 48 hours the harsh waves of the Atlantic Ocean split the ship in 2, she was declared a total loss and left to rot.
At this point, there is almost nothing left from the ship, only a distant memory.
1.Murmansk
The Cruiser Murmansk was built by the Soviet Union in 1955; and it served proudly until 1989.
A few years later; the Russians decided to sell the cruiser to India for scrapping; during the move the ship ran aground near the Norwegian Coast. Shortly after; this haunting picture was taken, the ship looks like its in almost perfect condition; except for you know, being almost sideways...If only someone tugged on the big chain, it might have been an easy fix… or maybe thats not how this works.
Anyway, No one wanted to deal with the clean up until 2009. Thats when everyone realized that due to the extremely harsh weather; the ship would have to be dismantled piece by piece. So thats what the Scandinavian contractor AF Decom did; in style.
They built a dock around the ship and emptied out the water; this picture was taken during the process, you can see it that it REALLY was a team effort !

Which one of these abandoned ships and planes was the most interesting ? Let me know !
World Unearthed The Kee Bird and the S.S. America.
World Unearthed The body of the 'Lady be Good' is in a police station car park in Tobruk, Libya. An organisation based in Arkansas is trying to recover it
Patrick Hanna agreed no click bait here
World Unearthed SS America looked like a Titanic replica and even had a split in the same location.
World Unearthed the enolw the Enola Gay Hiroshima
Enjoy hearing stories of old ships and airplanes. Cool vid
how is the Prinz Eugen not on this list? she was a German battlecruiser that survived the the entirety of ww2 and was given to the Americans. the Americans decided to use her for nuclear testing in operation crossroads. they nuked her twice, and she survived. they then towed her to kwajalein atoll, in which the ship that survived ww2 and two atomic bombings hit a bunch of rocks, capsized and sank. you can still see half the wreck out of the water.
Edward Wu u
I dived on the Eugen in 1987. Really fantastic dive!
cruiser. not battlecruiser...
Prinz Eugen is a
Heavy Cruiser.
Its an Admiral Hipper Class, a Heavy Cruiser which sailed with the Bismarck on the Atlantic sea sinking cargo planes.
I love the videos, we can’t go back I’m time but thank God we have the videos, thanks for doing that
very interesting! Thanks for making/uploading
Of all the equipment on a warplane, they salvaged an armrest?
-Suburban- ikr
Its what washed up on shore not the one thing they salvaged
Robert Flores but why would they want to salvage a armrest of an old plane. That’s whats the original poster was trying to say
It's a "in memory of" type of thing
_Suburban_ yeah man I'm not sure how much I believe that lol
Not saying your voice is boring but your videos are my favorite to fall asleep to! 🤗
I cannot stand to listen.
Great video. Loved it.
Thanks again! More creepy locations :)
Wow that was so cool
2:49 that ship decided to explore the world on its own. You go ship!
Great video I totally enjoyed it... Keep them coming...
Great vid mate and I like the effort you put into the graphics. Thanks for sharing
I worked on the Murmansk scrapping project. Moved a lot of rock to make that dry dock!
Erlend Opsett that is the coolest thing I've ever seen
Erlend Opsett thats bloody amazing
Why should i belive some random guy on the internet? LUL
In the Java Sea English and Dutch war wrecks have disappeared off the seabed, and they even stolen the propellers from one of our cruisers! Why was a cofferdam needed for that wreck? (dry docks flood and then rise by the way) What was built there is a cofferdam. Maine was raised using that method just prior to WW1. - former shipbuilder.
They were concerned about what kind of waste they could find inside the wreck. Some talked about radioactive materials.
The location and weather there made the coffer dam the best solution. Though, during construction, a winter storm took down the NW wall off the dam. Got delayed many months.
The *KEE BIRD* is still there, it's now a Hunk Of *"Crispy Arctic Metal Chicken"* XD
Is that the one that was "restored"?
Love your stuff. Keep up the good work budd.
Great vid thanks, love it.
I dove the corsair last year. Most amazing dive of my life.
Sure u did
I love your content. You earned a new sub and fan. Keep up the good work.
:D
I love watching these videos, so interesting and informative! I love the narration, too!
Great video subbed
Ah, a nice countdown mechanism and subtitles.
Thank you :D
Your research and commentary makes this much more interesting. Thanks.
Great video. You always have good topics, and must say your narrating is becoming a lot better. Thanks for a good one.
There was a good TV movie made around 1971 based on the Lady B. Good called Soul Survivor. In it the crew remained at the wreck as ghosts.
Saw the movie, William Shatner and Richard Basehart, were in it, Richard Baseharts character, was the sole survivor, of the plane and the ghosts of the crew were pissed off that he survived and they seriously messed with him
@@willielarimer7170 ...Might have to watch that I think. Good job folks. Sounds like a good flick :-)
Also watch the twilight zone episode called King 9 will not return, also based on the B24 the lady be good
Kee Bird was destroyed by the APU breaking loose from her badly rusted mounts, which then flailed around in the tail, rupturing the fuel tanks which sprayed on the hot APU and caused the fire. It was a real tragedy considering that she was largely in perfect shape other than that after the engines and a few other minor things were replaced.
katie_incredible ya i remember this from the documentary. heart breaking to watch after all the work they did to get that bird airborne. btw you're incredible
Take Old Dangerous Byatch Apart = Then Carry 2 Real Airporch W Military & Boeing Help = Put Back Rite = Video a Nice Promo 4 Air Force & Boeing = W Plenty Xperts 2 Check It All OUT = Then Mucho Creds 4 Successful Project Crew That Were 2 Fukn Lazy Stupid & Cold 2 Fix " BADLY RUSTED MOUNTS " & NO Telling What Else =
BTW N ww2 Nazis Dismantled Full Size U boat Put On 20+ Big Trucks = Trucked Same 2 Hoover Dam Reassembled & were Gonna Shoot Huge Rocket Missile N2 Dam From Low Side & Dayem Near Made It =
Some one died if I remember correctly also that was in charge of repairing the plane.
it would still be an amazing museum piece if you could remove the wings and air lift it. Especially with a dark history like that.
4:39 is the victory flight over the USS Missouri after the surrender of Japan
it was fascinating to see the lengths one must take to dismantle a huge ship .as in that last case. good job. thank you for posting.
Oooow, very interesting! thanks!
4:10 is Key West. I just moved from there a year ago and had been there for almost 7 years. The picture to my left was taken at a sandbar not to far from Key West.
love your stuff man keep it up
Thanks !
That’s FASCINATING !!!!!!!
Great video!!!!Thans
You forgot the S.S. Minnow lost during a 3-hr tour!
Hahaha! X'''D
With Gillian the skipper too, a millionaire and his wife, a super star, the professor and mary Anne here on Gilligans island
The boat you see leaving the harbour in the beginning of the show is the Minnow. It was been restored and is in Vancouver, B.C. It's a beautiful boat, written up in the magazine, 'Wooden Boat." The other boats used in the show were props.
A three hour trip!
Lmao
Hey, let's go on a cruise!
Sure, where are we going to?
A spot where a other cruise ship wrecked!
awesome. great video.
Now thats really cool,sad and world unearthed
I live by the duke of Lancaster!!!!!! :)
I live in Queensferry. I see this proud ship every week. Breaks my heart to see it just rotting away.
Damn I know I'm old one you remember the titanic being found being big news
AJ Help I don't think your old
Awesome really cool
cool video!!! thanks!
That’s so weird just thinking of an empty ship just floating in the ocean all alone
Ricky M a i n imagine a cruiser or a tanker going by wondering why the boat is idle like that trying to talk through radio 🤔 and nobody is there
Its actually not that uncommon. Ofc it's very rare but not thaaat rare. I mean thats how so called "ghost ships" work
there was no USAF in 1943.. USAAC/F
US Army Air Corps/Force
or in most of 1947. the u.s. air force was born in September 18, 1947.

any Idiot can have a UA-cam channel is the explanation
John-Paul Hill USAAF
Love the video great work
Cool video. Thanks.
If a machine has been wrecked under spooky circumstances, don't reuse the parts.
You sunk my battleship!
(Great video & great comedic timing!)
Whats your battleships name?
Gosh. This is amazing to see.
I loved this!
I want to explorer Lyubov Orlova. Sounds to good to be true, drifted in betewen Ireland & Iceland?
the ship is still out there some where and has not been located yet
should add the ss Kyle that is in harbour Grace Newfoundland to your list
love the videos man. keep them up! also you should do a video on Canadian hotels
We learned something folks! Don't use parts of abandoned stuff! It's fucking cursed!
I'm amazed by the lack of Prinz Eugen on here.
The Russian ship that was loose was spotted in december 2017 coast of puerto rico
o lol
Ghost ship.
Oh yeah yeah
Rat's are at the helm.
xlibshua rat ship
Awsome video well done dude.
U have the perfect voice for this.
Corvettefan I was thinking the same thing.
Corvettefan 80 qÀav
Corvettefan q
Corvettefan might just be me but he sounds similar to Adam from man vs food
Cheers !
F4U Corsair: One of the most capable fighter planes designed, right up there with the likes of the P 51 D, P47, and P 38...
You forget the hurricane and the spitfire along with the meteor
What a well made video !!! I really liked watching it ! Thank you !
Great, good videos
I see the name “Kee Bird” and instantly cry.
Mastergamer559 same
The aircraft boneyards in Az serve another purpose you didn't mention kid; they're not just waiting , they're repairing. Aluminum gets microfractures over time in service and all aluminum planes must eventually take a break. In the dry air, bare aluminum will actually heal like skin. Those micro-fractures which could have caused a mid-air accident, exploding people out the hull, become as good as new after a few years in the sun as long as someone strips the paint beforehand.
i knew that expansion and contraction was what led to aforementioned micro-fractures but i had no idea it could repair its self due to the weather, thats pretty damn cool if its true
I'd like to see citation/article/proof of this.
That was cool as hell
Finally someone who mentions Titanic,I will subscribe for doing that!
The P-47 got more use as a fighter-bomber in WWII than the Corsair.
misterjag Corsair was only used in Pacific not most used plane of ww2 at all
The F-4U Corsair was originally intended asUS Navy carrier plane. It's landing speed was too high, was given to Marines for operation of land bases. "Whistlening Death" as the Japanese called it was a feared opponent to Zero pilots.
The Royal Navy was the first to fly them off their carriers. The USN later had them as part of their Carrier Air Groups.
@@stalinium4769 he said most used "fighter bomber"....it was the most successful with an 11 to 1 kill ratio.
so what exactly is so strange about these wrecks
Nothing, just clickbait.
KingreX32 the boat wrecks look kinda creepy i guess. i wouldnt want to go in there.
Cthulhu Has Risen you Mamma's butt! 😅💩
James Lechleider 5 year old
that's what I was thinking
Amazing video.
Very interesting. (And the asides, hilarious. Subscribed)
i live in Arizona. soo much Plane yards :l
Urska Jinx I hope you emigrated there and weren’t born there - if English is your first language your life is already fucked.
Lp1
I like planes
i dont think ships like being scraped or restored
mark mclarnon Go back to your training Blood Angel
what you play I know you think blood angels are fluffy but you haven't played my list probably shit know cause 8th but like all the special droughts I have will slaughter any shit an army can through at me
mark mclarnon yes they do, it feels good.
Dragance
Ghost ships get your soul in the end.
first time view , great job !
COOL . THANKS
Jesus, how easy is it to lose an entire ship?
The conversation with his boss probably was like "uhm sir, we lost the gigantic war ship that can be seen from eighteen freaking miles away"
they were probably fired on the spot
Saw the Russian ship lots of times in St.John's. It was bought to be refurbished but after a couple years tied up in St.John's it was infested with rats. The company who bought the ship also had financial problems, their tug was also seized becouse it was deemed unseaworthy by Canadian Standards. It was spotted off Ireland and was listing badly, and shortly after it eburd went off which means it probably sank.
Ian Rumbolt : Full of Rat's? Then it must have docked in Washington dc.
Awesome video btw
GREAT VID !
In 1994 parts of Lady Be Good were salvaged and used in other planes? Huh?
There are old geezers who fix up WW2 planes and fly them in airshows.
Obviously, when you are doing maintenance on a 70 or 80 year old plane, there isn't anyplace you can call for parts.
You have to repair the part you have, or make an entirely new part just like it in a machine shop which is crazy expensive.
The third option is to try to salvage the part from another aircraft just like it, which is probably what they were referring to.
Gregory Vierra they are selling it now as bitcoin wyd burning and taking me
"Lady be good" more like lady be cursed
I just discovered your site and subscribed (and checked the little bell thingie). Interesting stuff. I love your accent.
This was awesome
Did anyone else hear " the shit was loved by many" at 5:33
Juan Cena Burrito man he said ship
Juan Cena Burrito man oh dang dude that's epic your my bro duuuudddee
Lol i heard that
Juan Cena Burrito man ya
He said shit not ship
They tow ships out to international waters and just leave them there to float around?
If it hasn't been spotted in years, I think it sank. With the traffic on the oceans today, derelict ships are found sooner or later.
I've read of the Lady Be Good many times over the years and seeing the story presented again here is as gripping/interesting as discovering it for the first time.
Haunting to think there are possibly many abandoned ships out there on the oceans just floundering around, waiting to be found
I find it so funny when old warships are painted in a green camouflage, I mean it's a ship that's in the ocean, it should of been a greyish blue camouflage
Who... Are you?
Good Bye * S.S American Star* U Will Be Missed.. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I remember this ship well as we managed to find this isolated cliff and small beach created by the American Star on holiday to Fuerteventura in about 1998 it stood tall and straight then although broken in 2 :/
Shadic Libra Don’t worry! We’ll always remember the S.S. American Star.
I wish I was able to see it before it was gone...
Nein
*Deus Volt Deus Volt Deus Volt*
This was an awesome video!!! I loved it.. Great information and history!!! Well done!!!
Thanks :D
Hey, good work
"the shit was loved my many".... haha 5:30
Hahahahahaha
Kyle Shafer it sounds to me him saying ship.ship
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLJOBIUCGUDSUSOSIHCHXISKSBSIFICHDPDLLKOLOOLOLOLOLOPOLPOOIOPJ OH UHIVI V JUHI
Couldn't finish watching this because the visual effects are so ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!
Interesting video... Thanks!
Really cool video thanks for ur hard work
Your kee bird history is not correct...the a.p.u. caught on fire when they were taxiing for take off and it burned the entire back half off.
How the fuck does a ship crash into a giant rock, its fucking infront of them!!!!????
Wolf Playz A number of reasons, Idiot, they might not have been able to turn in time, it was probably foggy, so they couldn't see it, hell, the crew could have been partially awake! Do your fucking research before criticizing something, good day.
William Thomas Or that
How about rudder malfunction, loss of engine power, or ghosts pirates took over the ship and crashed because they couldn't find the sails
I love the F4u so much! I wish I could've flown one back in the day!
Fascinating..!
You are incorrect because the rms titanic was found in 1981 by Robert Ballard
No dumbass! YOU'RE WRONG! You are off by FOUR YEARS. Watch the discovery of the Titanic video - it shows the EXACT day and year that Titanic was actually discovered on the bottom of the ocean floor. Don't come on here making idiotic and ignorant comments if you don't know what you're talking about!
1 September 1985
Jack Grimm thought he found a piece of the Titantic, in 1981 but Dr Robert Ballard with the help of Woods hole oceanographic institution and a French team found the Titantic in September of 1985
great dissapointment, misleading thumbnail!
totally agree fam!
Nooo not really. That picture was actually a shipwreck...that picture was from one of its crew members
Yea that was the USS Texas
Albert Birkeland Did you reply to your own comment. Sad.
Omar Ragab no thats a russian crusier
Great editing ! congrats...
Awesome!!! Very nice job!! Keep going!! For a fan from Brazil!!!
Its a curious thing how we leave our military junk just littering the planet. What does this say about us? What would a tourist to this planet think of us?
I mean for all they know its a monument
White Eagle
Not only this but some motherfucker can puck up the weapons too
Lots of terrorrest got their stuff from abandoned military graveyards
White Eagle it provides insight of our past amd allows us to see our old way and compare us to now
+Salty W1z4rd hey hello an howdy
Who cares what they think of us!
