    I have a possible explanation regarding the “lost island” at 41:30. A lot of cartographers would put fake islands on their maps as a way of watermarking their work. If another cartographer created a map and included that island, the original artist would be able to point at the fake island and say “hey I made this island up, so I have proof that you stole my work.” I’m guessing it was a watermark that spiraled into a bigger lie

"close to the coast" is a very nebulous description, and being able to see the lighthouse from the shore doesn't really narrow down that exact distance either since a large, tall structure like a lighthouse would be visible for quite a distance out.
      so, hypothetically a rogue wave could have formed close to the lighthouse, smashed into the island and the dock, subsequently broken up, and never reached the mainland. then, because of poor visibility, even assuming someone was looking out at the lighthouse at the time, they would be very unlikely to notice or even see the wave form and strike. it's a very plausible hypothesis in my opinion, certainly more so than supernatural phenomena or ocean dwelling cryptids.

    For the Mary Celeste, I believe the ship filled with gas, and the crew got on the lifeboat while it aired out. But the plan was to leave the line between the lifeboat and the ship so they could get back on. But it snapped, and the two vessels drifted apart. Some crew tried to swim over and climb back onboard to bring it around but failed and drowned. Hence the scratches on the hull. And the lifeboat later sank, and the bodies of everyone were lost.

I thought "yeah I guess that makes sense" but then the bottom shadow *moved* slightly and that would have been a massive creature so I just noped out of the water

    For the Mary Celeste, what if the crew noticed that there was a large buildup of fumes from the alcohol? In that case, I could imagine the captain ordering everyone onto a lifeboat to wait until it either exploded or dissipated. Possibly, they decided to use only one lifeboat out of laziness or urgency, not wanting to bother with lowering and raising multiple boats. In their haste, they cut the rope, and intend to stay close to the ship, but somehow are unable to and end up drifting away.

    It feels to me like the lighthouse story might just be caused by a rogue wave hitting the island.

It could also explain the massive localized damage to the the dock.

When I heard about it it was said that the most likely scenario was that the men were eating bad meat (possibly dried meat that got wet through the fog or something) which developed a mold which effectively acted as a drug making them sick and delirious, thus they thought that the noises of the waves hitting the lighthouse were noises of a massive storm, and finally something happened that lead to them all falling into the ocean and drowning. I forget the details of that last part.

    Something else to consider about the Mary Celeste, nowadays, when your ship is sinking, most people's first instinct is to hop into a lifeboat and bail. Back then it was a different story. Lifeboats were very dangerous, and helpless out in open ocean. Generally, people only got in lifeboats if they believed the ship was absolutely beyond saving, a final hail Mary. Even by 1912, people on Titanic were hesitant to get into the lifeboats at first. That's one of the reasons why so many were launched half full. They couldn't find anyone else willing to get in. The thought process was "why would I leave this big, safe, warm ocean liner to get into that dinky little rowboat?" Once it became clear that the ship was doomed, then people rushed into what little lifeboats that were left. There are many stories where ships begin to sink and send off the women and children in the lifeboats, only for the rough Seas to completely overtake the lifeboat and kill everyone. Meanwhile, the ship stays afloat long enough for rescue to arrive, and the only casualties came from attempting escape in the lifeboat. So for the crew of the Mary Celeste to not only get in the lifeboat in the first place, but also cut the rope, whatever it was they were facing must have been DIRE. Unless you are 100% absolutely sure your ship is completely beyond hope, the ship is safer than the lifeboats. At least, Pre-Titanic lifeboats. Modern lifeboats are safe.

    The thing about the islands disappearing is actually due to cartographic errors. Its was very commonplace back then to add little fakeouts on ones own maps to avoid people copying them. Things like fake little islands, inexistent roads or small mountains were added as a way to identify fake copies of said maps. This however worked too well and many maps are actually copies of copies of copies of very old maps that originally had said things. There are several examples and they are commonly referred to as "trap streets". Look up Agloe, New York

    The Kass II I believe is a man overboard situation. When you fall off a sailboat without a ladder it’s very very hard to hop back on it. It’s possible they were swimming or something like that and the person who was supposed to stay on board jumped or fell off. This can be explained well by the “stop” on the GPS and then the slow drift. Maybe the fishing guy was the one that was supposed to stay on it and fell off. I saw a video of a group of people who suffered a similar fate but they were able to jump on each others shoulders and jump back on.

      While this could be the case if they're all seasoned sailors they'd know better than to jump off a moving ship without a rope attached to them. You never go for a swim when your sail boat has its sails out. If one fell off the others wouldn't jump in after him, they'd take the boat back to the man that fell off. It's just so odd, so many factors.

      DAILY FUN FACT! About the first ship, there IS a phenomenon that causes people to leave the boat. It's basically a bout of anxiety about being in the middle of the ocean, with no land on sight, that makes people get off the boat. Just like that. They don't care there's no land on sight, the anxiety of being in the middle of the ocean is such that they simply want out. They pack everything, leave everything neatly placed as if they were leaving the appartment they rented for the holidays, grab their stuff and exit the boat... In the middle of the ocean. And the worst thing is that they seem so calm and rational that there might be no way of telling beforehand, so you only find out when you wake up one day and find yourself alone in the boat. It happens even to experienced sailors, and it's pretty much the equivalent to the hallucinations that happen in the middle of snowstorms in extreme climates (the 8000m peaks, the south pole...) and that causes people to just untie themselves from lifelines and willingly wander off (and in the mountains, fall down) never to be seen again.
      Sooooo yeah...

      I actually saw someone make an educated guess that the ethanol mixed with something else and created toxic fumes that might’ve been in someway harmful to the crew.

    The Flannan Isles disappearances are definitely due to a rouge wave. The crying and praying is, as Wendigoon said, historically debated. The storm and fog could just be a coincidence or could be the cause of the rouge wave. The description of the state of the island matches what a rouge wave would do to an island. Rouge waves are also confirmed to be responsible for sudden disappearances on small islands. Its also scary to think that a wave will just randomly become so large that it will become larger than your island and sweep you into the ocean, leaving no trace it happened besides some wetness, minimal damage and missing people and items.

    The USS Stein, an American frigate, found scratches over around 8 percent of its sonar dome. Almost all of the scratches had within them small claws that were found to be similar to those found within the suckers of a giant squid. However, these claws were substantially larger than those of the giant squid's, which, if these claws hold similar proportions to the creature's body size, would point to an absolutely massive squid. I was unable to find exact numbers on claw length, but "way bigger than giant squid" is already too much.

    Really great video!! I love all the work you do.
    My personal theory for what happened to the Mary Celeste is based off the one proposed by Joe Scott.
    The ship is sailing like normal and as it gets further into warmer waters the alcohol begins to evaporate and create strong fumes and explosions. It gets to the point the fumes are so bad that the passengers and crew are having trouble breathing so they decide to open the hatches and air out the ship. The plan is to move everyone onto a single life boat for a few minutes until the ship is more breathable then bring everyone back on board. Since its temporary they only need the one boat and everyone can leave their things behind. Due to the fumes everyone is rushing onto the boats (maybe someone stumbled and thats why the compass was knocked over?) and in their haste the crew member lowering the lifeboat ties a less than stellar knot. After everyone enters the boat the weight of all the passengers in one lifeboat puts strain on the crappy knot and it comes undone. With the sails half raised the ship picks up enough wind that the lifeboat cant catch up and everyone is stranded on the ocean in a single lifeboat with no supplies or belongings.

    @SanneNC 2 роки тому +477

    I can't remember where I read this theory, but I recall someone saying that a likely explanation for the Mary Celeste is that a large vapor explosion happened in the lower decks, and the crew get on the lifeboat not to escape, but just to sit somewhere in open air without any fumes, basically being towed behind the ship while it aired out. The theory posited that they had every intention of returning to the ship, but the rope connecting the lifeboat snapped, and they drifted out into open water with no way to return to the Mary Celeste - hence them leaving their personal belongings behind. If that is what happened, I can't imagine how horrifying it must have been for the crew to watch helplessly as their ship drifted away from them and they were left to die of starvation out at sea.
    EDIT: also, I'm probably not the first to mention this, but the bloop has been explained. It was a massive ice shelf in the arctic breaking off and falling into the sea. The section that fell off was so huge that multiple hydrophones picked it up.

On the Bloop... that's just what they want you to think lol. Do you really think they would tell us if they found Cthulu? All of the sailors on cargo vessels would quit immediately and we wouldn't be able to ship any goods!

    I heard a really good theory about the Mary Celest once, the ship stunk of alcohol and was carrying ethanol. If one of the barrels broke, the ship may have been full of noxious fumes. If the air on the ship was becoming intolerable due to the broken barrel, the captain and crew may have gone on a life boat simply to let the ship air out. the life boat would be tied to the ship so they culled pull themselves back after a few hours. If the rope was not properly secure, the life coat would not be able to catch back up with full sail ship. There was a missing life boat and a single rope trailing in the water behind the ship when it was found. 1 not coming undone might have doomed the entire crew of the Mary Celest.

      Huh. Sounds reasonable. There are of course a few concessions like it not being likely that the ENTIRE crew would pile into a single life boat and leave the ship without even a skeleton crew. Granted it could have just been a moment of high stupidity and confidence that nothing would go wrong. Also the rope being cut but i can see someone being crazy enough to do that and doom the whole crew and passengers.

    one thing i love in horror movies about the ocean is when they are so deep they don't know what way is up, they are just suspended an an abyss of pure unending darkness, and unlike being in a dark room where you can navigate to a wall or something and have some sense of direction you are just completely lost and disoriented, you could travel miles in any direction and possibly never find anything but darkness, and most of all you just know you are not alone in the ocean

    Your monologue about WHY the ocean is so terrifying is spot on. My husband and I went to Grand Cayman for our honeymoon to swim with the stingrays. It's was beautiful crystal clear water about 15-20 feet deep at most. But about 100 yards away was an area where a bunch of waves were crashing. So my husband, being curious, swam over to take a closer look. He said what he saw was terrifying. Apparently that was where the ocean shelf was located and it was a sheer drop into black nothingness. The guide also told us that's where the sharks liked to hang out. Horrific.

      I would have thought a strong possibility would have been that one or more of the crew went for a swim and something occurred (medical problem, shark bite/jelly-fish sting etc.) Leading to the remaining crew attempting to enter the water to help only to drown or fall victim to whatever danger befell the others.

    Paradoxical deep sea gigantism is actually a topic of ongoing study. Relatives of those cute little isopoda woodlice you might know as 'rolly pollies' grow to the size of small dogs in the deep ocean, and that's about approximate for the effect in general. The presently accepted duct-taped guess on the pit of unknowns is that bigger bodies are healthier in lower temperatures.

    I've always found it interesting the idea of Lovecraft's eldritch abominations, and how they aren't so much evil more than they are just indifferent. And then I think about the ocean and nature as a whole and how it's the perfect embodiment of cosmic indifference. I guess it kinda makes sense why Lovecraft put Cthulhu under the waters of Earth's oceans, it was the perfect place for him.

      Exactly; it's one of the reasons why I love another of my favorite horror reading channels, Lazy Masquerade, so much. Lazy doesn't give much of a 'verdict' on whether or not a story or account is true, unless it's specifically a true crime episode, in which case he might toss out his own personal theories, he just presents them and leaves it up to the audience how much they believe it. It really adds to the immersion on stuff like accounts of cryptids or ghosts, because even if you don't believe in them, for a few minutes, they feel real
