Because of the corona lockdown we can't travel, so I dug into my archives in search of some old footage.
In this video we go back to 2015/2016 when we explored these giant French naval ships called the Aconit and Duguay-Trouin. They were towed to the ship cemetery in november 2014.

👉👉👉This is old video footage, check out a better episode of warships at: ua-cam.com/video/TsZqdXJsRk8/v-deo.html😁👍
When you enter the ship around 16 minutes I can hear your heartbeat through my sub.
It makes a really cool sound effect 🎉
@@jorickjoetoep Haha yes, because the gopro was mounted on my chest :) Check the aircraft carrier episode!
I was flight deck crewman on DUGUAY-TROUIN (1991). We has two LYNX helicopters. Thanks for the tour ! Lots of memories :-)
I guess "the biggest room" where they slept/cooked was the hangar for those Lynx helicopters? Am I correct?`
And I guess it must be interesting to see this video after all these years.
@@MT-yp3tp yes it is the hangar. i wasnt on the ship but i can tell from other ships
@@MT-yp3tp Yes correct ! !
@@bultelpascal3819 and Chris Hemsworth - Thank you guys for replies.
bultel pascal -I worked on the flight deck of USS Constellation (CV-64).....I still remember well in 87 a Lynx coming aboard in the Persian Gulf from our British comrades. What a badass little helo! It smelled totally different than our Sea Kings (probably different hydraulic fluid), sounded awesome and was fast and nimble. Good memories!
37:15 That part alone deserves a millions of views
Did you see the graduation stop motion movie? I might upload some other stop motion work in the future😊
Reminds me of Wallace and grommet going to the moon.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath i have not seen any other stop motion movie from your channel. I might have missed that! i can't wait for more stop motion work! You guys really are the best explorers! Great content as always!
You should have checked under the visor to see if they'd left the ignitions keys in !
Kit to take:
Tools to open doors.
Water, lots, there's none on board.
Warships are MAZES.
Tape to mark pathway IN, because that's the pathway out. If not tape, a bottle of paint and small brush to mark at eye level the way in. Tape means you can pick it up in the dark and feel it for the way out (very fast method if no light) or paint, but only good if you have light. Those stick-on glow-things are good to use too. Shine a light on them and they glow for a while (10 mins).
Waterproof bag to carry camera gear for the row across.
Small motor for your dinghy to deal with those strong tides.
Life-jackets, if that vinyl junk dinghy gets a hole, you'll want a life-jacket with all those clothes on you.
Spare flashlights AND spare batteries. There's no power on board to 'charge up' again and if you are down below and the flashlight gives out, you will take a very long time to find your way out. A method is to go left at every turn (or go right), you have to eventually find your way out... eventually - could take days.
A pen and notebook - to write your last will and testament in case you never get out.
@Kino C Yep. 3 kg, peanut brain.
The haunting emptiness of this vast and complex ship flooded me with feelings of nostalgia, wastefulness and wonder. I couldn’t look away. Goosebumps all over my body every time they entered the ship’s hospital, and completely off the charts when the operating table came to life 😬
It is located in Landevenec warship cemetary. When i was a teen (30 yrs ago) i used to sail into this sea river to sneak around those beauty. Good to see what was inside. Thx pal
Olivier, tu as vu dans les toutes dernières images, la gendarmerie nationale qui venait marauder?? Ils ont du prendre une sacrée ardoise!!!
Pareil. Je me demandais ce qu'il y avait dedans a chaque fois que je passais devant. 😀
Awesome, I was fishing 25 years ago with my dad at this anchor point. Always wanted to see the inside. Thanks a lot, remind me plenty of good memories. Et vive la Bretagne!
Breiz Atao
Now imagine pushing it back into the water, firing up the boilers and just sailing it around: "OI FRENCHIES, YOU FORGOT YOUR SHIPS"
Imagine those flashlights stop working suddenly and you don't know where you came from in that dark maze.
Interesting video, guys! Please prep some gloves for yourself.
You don't suppose, being urban explorers they have more than one torch ?
You know; matches and lighters are a thing right?
@@rolan4dezwinz381 naked flames in confined spaces with possible flammable gases is not a good idea
Lmfao fuck gloves use bare hands
Or some crazy person follows them out and shuts them inside
I am wearing headphones and I thought the heartbeat was my own for a few seconds. Weird feeling!
same here wtf
Do you ever use an oxygen sensor? Also called a (sniffer). The reason why I ask this is because there has been many fatalities of people into areas where oxygen from rust growth and other aspects. It's a small device that clips to your shirt if your wondering. They are not too expensive yet how much is your life right? Priceless.
You're right. It is foolish to go around in these things without a multi-gas detector.
H2S
Not only that, those ships are full of asbestos!
Plus the metal corrosion (oxidation) can consume the oxygen
@@chipjumper or a canary :) budget gas detection
@@juanmanuelortego8896 contrary to popular belief, asbesto containing materials do not become airborne spontaneously, that is, it is only during a breaking or abrasion moment that the particles can somewhat become suspended in the air, and the real danger lies in the fabrication/repair/disposal of the materials.
Roof asbesto shingles are an extreme case that are very exposed to the elements, quickly loosing protective layers and then eroding with the wind. Even so, it is only during their breakage that significant ammounts of asbestos can be released and inhaled.
Absolute respect to you guys.
Thank you for your efforts in showing us what is out there.
Just got your 1st book for my Birthday and was thrilled - love your exploration videos but the still shots are something else, so much detail to explore in each one. Looking forward to the places you get to explore when this crazy world stops being quite so crazy.
I would start pressing buttons and turning things, would you?
Yes Absolutely yes...every button i could find i would press it😂
Me too
I'm sure I would try lol
First you'd need to power up the ships main generators. But heck yeah I would lol
“Hmm launch torpedo wonder what this button does?”
Would have been hilarious if GIGN showed up to do a training exercise.
Be even funnier if Interpol charges them for 373k counts of releasing classified information over widely available means.
French commandos marine use to make some exercises in that place . They would be delighted to find some volunteers to play the role of " terrorists " in their training cession !
Raoul Volfoni LOL
Who gives a fuck these boats are bought with tax payers money anyway so technically belong to the public good work guys keep it up, the system will always have some way of fucking u just be free do as u are 🙌🙏
That's great you took the footage of the engine rooms and boiler rooms and gear box rooms, the engine control console is huge, great video.
Several French UA-camrs already did videos about this ship and in result were in trouble with French justice and forced to remove the video. Just so you know what to expect
You gotta love your job, exploring, making videos and getting paid in the process! Newly subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing, you just saw 1 of the worst episodes ever, uploaded during covid, when I could not travel. This is really old footage never intended to be uploaded. I returned to other ships at the same spot (episode will be online soon) And this is a better episode about another cool ship: ua-cam.com/video/TsZqdXJsRk8/v-deo.html Too be honest I have to work 18h a day and do other things as well to finance this life style :)
Thanks for letting us share your adventure. Nicely put together.
So glad to see you guys FINALLY getting the subscriber growth you deserve. Your videos have been awesome for a looooong time.
Thanks Mark ! 🙂 in the future I’ll focus more on video to make even better ones. This is an adventure before I started my channel.
Anyone else wearing headphones hear his heartbeat? Adds to the suspense and excitement
Haha kinda funny and scary too
Such an eary feeling,just imagine the things them ships have seen and now nothing
Man! Amazing video as always guys!!
the engine room pictures are phenomenal
Deck hatches are the most overlooked entrances and also the easiest to get into. When you see the diagrams of the ship those are important as they can tell you where you are and where you need to go to get to other places. Each deck (level) has its own plan so it is easy to find your way around. If you know the compartment numbering system it is even easier to get to where you want to go. Also above the entry to each space (room) there is a corresponding number to the chart or diagram so you can find out where you are at any time. It will also let you know where the closest escape routs are and the various hatches to different levels.
I hope that this will help you in further endeavors.
39:34, someone needs to rescue that lathe!!!
SOCOMO STAR 300, looks like a great machine!
Agreed, getting it out would be fun!
@@eliottpreston165 I just thought the same!
Me too i'm amazed such machine is considered like crap.
May be it can be disassembled to be taken away.
Would give my little finger for it 👍
Probably has very few hours on it too!
I love how you can hear you heartbeat going!
This is awesome content Very glad i subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work!
Brilliant stuff lads, really like this (and all your vids) - great photography and an element of suspense on occasion too helps! Prima jonges
You heart sounds to be of perfect health, Bob :) Awesome vid, thanks!
Glad I stumbled upon this channel you guys definitely have some pretty unique explores.
fantastic authentic tour.... the inside is still in excellent condition...bravo
Really interesting exploration, and the animation really elevates this one. You guys are actually creating something and preserving some part of history (presumably, all declassified history, don't want those pesky MIB turning up on your doorsteps). Loved the short stop motion video. You are still crazy for climbing that chain though :D
imagine being inside the ship and your flashlights stop working and in the distance you hear someone welding the last exit shut.. :/
Haha! That happened to me in factories and castles 😐
Or you hear welding, then a banjo starts playing 😨
Excellent work Guys! Thank you.
Rich.
Thanks a lot for watching😊!
Great work. Brilliant still photography. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Always refreshing to see a whole lot of people having fun too.Cheers.
I like how there's grass growing on the ships.
Bird shit
There was a time when a Dutchman capturing a French frigate would be serious buisness.
They're Belgian tho
Awesome video Bob! It's remind me so much, in fact it was my fav exploration ever.
awesome explore thanks for creating this video, excellent
Mate, please get one of those compact lifejackets to wear! That current looked quite strong!
And why do you approach the ships from upstream? Looks like you will be pushed underneath the ships by the current when you miss the chains
@Kino C Yep, he's a half hour to 2 hours away from arriving on scene. Maybe a life-jacket it good. But if you are new to this stuff, I suppose you see no need for safety.
35:33 that is the scariest face I have ever seen.
Excellent explore LADD'S!!!!😉😉😯😯
The heart beat is killing this
sounds like my old mans dating advice. "any hole can be an entrance."
😂😂😂
you sir, win youtube.
I have known for over three years we are at the end. . .These rusting hulks are as many others that survived a cold war, yet now die of time itself. . .Can you not tell, we are finished. . .Did you think the world would last on and on. . .We are at the second coming of Jesus Christ and soon all you knew, all we all grew up knowing will be no more as it all heralds the approach of Jesus Christ and all who attend with him envelope all we've known envelope the earth. . . And those who schemed and plotted their way to riches will be left with them, in the mindless arrogance which laid them in filth they created, for you and me. . . . . . .
@@daveberry5901 lol wtf has your religion to do with this ????
@@daveberry5901 your a fruit loop
37:15 damn that first one looks so cool, looks like an intro to a drama/mistery series.
Great Job. Really enjoyed this.
This is really crappy footage uploaded during the lockdown. This one is better by example:ua-cam.com/video/TsZqdXJsRk8/v-deo.html
great video!!! Cant wait for the next one
Beautiful. I would like to rescue some of that radio and radar equipment before the sea claims it.
You should have brought some WD 40 you could have had her up and running 🤣
I had that in mind too😂
Hey, they did bring a roll of duct tape.
Couple of zip ties and she's good to go 👌
Amazing exploring!
Incredible video, 10/10 all the way through. Didn't expect the stop motion shots either, so that was a hell of a bad ass welcome addition
Thanks ! Too be honest this is shitty footage. I recently uploaded another naval ship with a decent camera !
You should get yourselves a watertight sailing sack.
Protects equipement from water, and can be used as a flotation buoy if needed...
in the end it is our property it was created from taxpayers money so why not to visit it?
Hey guys awesome exploration. Be careful, some french youtubers made a video about these ships and the video was blocked by the french government. Also, I've read that the ships are waiting to be dissembled, the metal will be re-used in futur projects.
Cheers
Great video guys
Cool video and pics
Do you bring breathing gear in case you enter a dead space? Also, there's some pretty toxic stuff on these ships sometimes. Black mold, asbestos. nevermind ventilation. eesh might be a good idea to bring a hard hat with you too.
yeah, newbies, no idea.
@@GavTatu I've got a pile of experience on old ships including warships and John Christian is correct about toxic stuff. Lagging is mostly asbestos in those old ships and they emit particles.
A brilliant idea if you had the money you can get a a air simpler I would be more scared of getting lost or trap somewhere we have nothing to explore like this
Gav Tatu Newbies? I've never seen urban explorers with hard hats 😅
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath lol i was joking, youtube really needs a sarcasm font.
Wow always great content I want to thank you guys for inspiring me to try urbex. Although in my town there’s no abandoned war ships we do have some interesting things.
Stumbled across your channel by accident, ended up leaving a subscriber. Great work!
Thanks! This is even not a real episode.. some old collected footage. Check out the “most dangerous adventures” playlist and others😊
Exploring the Unbeaten Path Awesome, I will do thanks, keep up the good work! 👍
Great video!
Jesus Christ. How many machines that go "Ping" do they need? That's a lot of radar. Really nice video, guys. Appreciate your work.
Thanks a million for watching !
They need at least two ping machines for each machine that goes pong....
Meaning of Life reference duly noted.
Radars don't go ping. You're thinking of Sonar.
(Former US Navy Radarman)
the bleeps, the creeps and the sweeps
EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great footage BOB ;)
So many useful stuff I can use here in my workshop in Mauritius, but sadly left rotting...... Thanking you for these real adventures.
The stop motion was amazing
Thanks a lot for watching! Have you seen my graduation movie also? I might upload some more stop motion work in the future :) The video footage is really old (and shitty) the other episodes have a way better quality☺️
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath no, I haven't seen your graduation movie...definitely interested...your videos are so good and love the longer ones...soke of your older videos are short before you did longer ones so would be good to see extra footage from those while in lockdown 😁😁😁
@@halcyondaystunesThanks, I'm editing fulltime...loads of work. I uploaded another episode about (even more epic) warships yesterday ! It's 25 minutes. Here's the graduation movie: ua-cam.com/video/1pysL0f4XKk/v-deo.html
I'll upload some other stopmotion in the near future !
Very interesting 🤔
Now any confined environment without air circulation can accumulate gases.
At a minimum these guys should have a multi gas to check for flammable or toxic gases beyond what is allowed.
Yea when they said any hole can be a entrance i am thinking I know nothing happened but dead zones. There was a ship in the Atlantic (cannot remember name) but there was a storm so they went in to secure the chain (banging around). I think 3 people died going in due to them not having any air in there.
Is it just me, or was your GoPro picking up your heartbeat the whole time? Looks like it was fun....a little on the sketchy side = perfect.
Very nice and very inoformative video host, thank you for sharing.
Mostly inside abandoned ship is toxicated. Be safe my friend.
O² meter is basic. Rust consumes all air in these closed spaces
Having Chinese friends is more toxic than these old ships.
Dave Beals 😂😢😂😂😂 you racist !!!
Asbesto
Haha grappig om te zien. Ik werk zelf bij de marine en veel komt bekend voor zoals die strijk ijzers. Het is geen keuken maar een kombuis. Waarschijnlijk zit het manschappenverblijf (matrozen) daar dus naast. De plek waar je dat overzicht van het schip zag is een sectiepost. Bij averij of gevechtswacht zullen vanaf de sectieposten alle calamiteiten worden aangevallen. Achterop het schip waar die grote "spoel" zit hadden ze waarschijnlijk een variabele diepte sonar die ze achter het schip aan slepen. In de torpedo overlaadruimte miste ik de lanceer buizen, maar die hebben ze waarschijnlijk op nieuwe schepen gezet. De "radarkamer" is de commando centrale. Dat is aan boord mijn werkplek aan boord 😁👍👍
The photography is so good that most of the stuff is still usable and almost new.
Wicked cool, thank you for sharing
I would suggest you wear a set of gloves that will help prevent rust on chain cutting your hand. Handling steel can be injurious.
Just be careful guys as much as we love the adventure of going with you guys please don’t get in trouble as nothing is worth going to jail for !
Thanks... and yes we often get into trouble for uploading these adventures. Currently they want to put us in prison for showing a 'secret' abandoned bunker.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath lmao that's so stupid. If it's that secret you wouldn't have been able to find it. Second they can take it upon themselves and seal it up if it's that much of a concern.
fantastic shots in&out
Really like your channel Looked fun Adventurous, knowledgeable Thank you very much for finding good information.
Thanks! Check some other adventures in the playlist “ most dangerous adventures” this was shot before I start making movies for UA-cam😇
That's the problem I think in France all the olds battleships and else are just thrown away while it could be great museums like the fantastic Richelieu witch was one of the best battleships ever made and was just destroyed.
well, scrapped and made into new ships
@@chistofferweberg6962 Practically the same thing, but I think such a ship would've been a great museum I would've like to visit it or just simply see it. A beautiful piece of engineering and such a beast, those large size battleships no longer exists for good reasons cause they are not practical anymore.
26:09 Dude you found the only FFP1 face mask left in France! Now we'll see dozens rushing to these old ships to try to get it.
Hahaha ! Go for it😅when the toilet paper was a “thingy” we found a huuuge one in a villa.. episode coming soon😂
Ongelooflijk wat een lef en wat een interessante video. Jullie hebben er een sub. Kudos
Nice trip,good job,thanks
It took me halfway through the video to realize that it's not my. Heart beating loudly
I could hear your heart beating after you got on the ship... Ahhh anxiety.
Absolutely awesome I'll watch all your vids like thisbone .WAY COOL
way cool guys. Keep up the great work.
Be careful, a french youtuber Mamytwink uploaded an urbex exploration on these exact same ships. His video has been deleted and he had serious problems with the french Navy.
I was a bit concerned about that as well. At least we got to see it. Hopefully they don't give him trouble.
SLIM SHADY Maybe because he was French, so the French navy could get to him easily. If you’re not French then it would be harder for them to get to you.
Next idea, RENOVATE ONE, get a crew and then sail
All the photos at the end were CRAZY Pro! Did you have multiple lights set up? The colors and the content and the sharpness! Wonderful job, Gentlemen! Thank You for putting yourselves in harms way to bring us this Great Adventure. Wow.
Great video guys. Many thanks. .....
Thanks ! This is shot before we started to record our adventures. Have you seen any other episodes ? :)
Exploring the Unbeaten Path Just tarted following you guys and looking forward to your future adventures, thanks once again and happy hunting from the UK. .......
Imagining someone close the door and lock it
Most were welded shut to begin with, it wasn't exactly a door they entered through.
11:14 / 45:03 "every hole could be an entrance" LOL
old ships look to be some of the more dangerous objects to explore, your endeavors are much appreciated.
Woooooooow wtf ben benieuwd naar de volgende video! De missiles zitten er nog in! Top aflevering weer.
I hope your video will not be removed, some French youtubers got trouble wid their videos
Mamytwink
imagine u are exploring inside the ship.....then suddenly, a bomb being dropped because that ship is being use as target practice by the military
Is there ghost
@Rana Ali Akhtar Alam Khan not when they are lying in a river in a populated area
@Rana Ali Akhtar Alam Khan they are used as target,but not on a coastal site like this,firing ranges are miles away on the open ocean
@@3dvorator RAAAK He is only 12y and has a vivid imagination.
@@pieterv6984 pfff so they drag it out while they are sleeping.
Ha.
Petite poison.
thank you your videos are amazing
Very interesting adventure...the stop action shots were really cool great job, very eerie! I was also amazed how you found your way back to point of entry with all the corridors and twists and turns, I'd be lost in a minute unless I left a trail of bread crumbs along the way.
Lot of lead and asbestos on ships of this era. Id recommend better PPE when doing stuff like this
I have known for over three years we are at the end. . .These rusting hulks are as many others that survived a cold war, yet now die of time itself. . .Can you not tell, we are finished. . .Did you think the world would last on and on. . .We are at the second coming of Jesus Christ and soon all you knew, all we all grew up knowing will be no more as it all heralds the approach of Jesus Christ and all who attend with him envelope all we've known envelope the earth. . . And those who schemed and plotted their way to riches will be left with them, in the mindless arrogance which laid them in filth they created, for you and me. . . . . . .
I was thinking the same, if you look at the pipes, where they are wrapped, you easily can find pure asbestos fibers inside, especially in the engine room area.Asbestos was a typical insulation material, other than a heat barrier, back in the 50's and 60's. There was an ffp3 mask on a table at some moment during the video, someone else was smarter, thinking about safety...next time wear a mask, everyone has a mask on in this time...
And gloves! That's exploring 101. Especially in an environment like this with jagged, rusted metal everywhere. An infected cut could do serious damage.
Asbestos can be a problem, but the lead is not going to jump at you, is it
@@daveberry5901lol okay
Urbex Extrem!!! Wow, what a brilliant Tour, an absolute amazing Location. Thanks for this... :-)
Are the Ships still there?
No, sady they’re scrapped. The best ship was the “cruiser le Colbert” which was scrapped in 2016. You will see that one in the next episode.😎
Amazing video!
Watch some of the other episodes, they are of a way better quality! Thanks for watching this “older” adventure😎
