I recently received a FiFISH V6 from QYSEA, a underwater drone with built in LED's and a 4K camera, enabling me to explore wrecks that are close to the shore. This will add an exciting new element to come of my shipwreck stories, but while we're waiting, I wanted to take it out for a spin. Not only is this a test run, but we explore the curious history of a collapsed railroad bridge and a Norwegian sailing vessel that grounded in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
The QYSEA FiFISH V6 can be found at www.qysea.com/products/fifish...
While this is not a paid sponsorship, it does include merchandise I received for free in exchange for being featured in dive videos.
I don't know how to explain this, but your videos give me a true wonder of the world. It's both so mundane and awesome, in the most literal sense of inspiring awe. A simple ghost town has its story to tell, lives that started and ended there, a history as important to the locals as the history of large cities is for them. It gives a great appreciation of the world.
I agree. The way these videos are presented seem very classic in their approach, for a lack of a better word. It's very inspiring and encourages the idea of exploring the hidden parts of the world. It can be all too easy to lose that sense of wonder and curiosity in the shadow of life's daily grind.
Very cool. The video looks great. Looking forward to more. Might want to look into the Mullica River Revolutionary War wrecks in New Jersey. Not sure if there is much to see anymore.
Your timing on that is great; I know the guy who leads those studies and we’ve already been talking about doing something.
@@PartTimeExplorer YES! MORE NEW JERSY VIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@PartTimeExplorerthat would be awesome. I live about 25 minutes from that area. Done a lot of hiking through the "pinelands" of NJ and was always interested in knowing more about that history
Love Bob, he's got a great sense of humour and an invaluable knowledge. Great underwater video too.
That thing is so cool!
it sure is
That thing is awesome. I can't wait to see more underwater footage.
I have quickly become addicted to your videos. The dry humor, thorough research, and willingness to go on site give an intoxicating story of what happened! Bravo sir! We can't wait to see more!
Have you ever thought about making a video on the General Slocum disaster? Deadliest disaster in NYC history until, you know
Is the ship named after the civil war general slocum?
@@jamesmccarthy5086 Yes
@@jamesmccarthy5086 yep, although if Slocum was still alive in 1904, I bet he wished it wasnt
Wow! Very cool drone! My son and I can't wait to see more of the drone video.
That worked better than I thought it would! Good images were captured. I'd be worried the cable would get tangled and lose the drone. Thanks for the video!
Apparently the cable floats, which helps
Same worry here!
Great job! Enjoyed your c-host. He's an interesting guy. The new tech is fascinating. Well done!
Great video. Your buddy Bob reminds me of my dad. Would love to have some coffee with him sometime. Keep the great videos coming. Underwater video was amazingly crisp.
That is a very affordable underwater drone, this tool will be a benefit for sure.
The Fifish V6 and V6s are fantastic underwater drones. My partner Mike Sandone and I have been exploring some of the oldest flooded mines in North America with them for many years and have been more than pleased with their abilities.
A wise purchase indeed. Telescopes, microscopes, üntersea vehicles; all wonderful for exploration.
My friend that underwater drone was amazing! Man, what a nice tool to have. Great video really enjoyed it. Good luck in the future with your new toy 😁
So cool to see nature reclaiming a part of civilization that was thrown away.
Great device 🙂 enjoyed the history & footage, thank you
It's my pleasure.
Philadelphia USA🇺🇲
I usually groan when I see multiple UA-cam channels all simultaneously plugging the same sponsored product, but I'd happily watch hours of ROV footage lol
Fantastic footage. I am so happy fot you guys using your new 'toy'
That drone provides some crazy high fidelity footage. Excellent content.
I'm addicted to your channel!
This was awesome 👍👍👍👍👍
I am soooooo excited to see your future rov videos. I want one of these very bad. Thanks for sharing 👍
Works surprisingly well
That was Awesome. Thanks for Sharing your video. I am looking forward to more 👍😎👍
I was already highly anticipating your future content, but this little bot has just pushed you over the top. You were already making professional quality videos. I can’t wait to see what you’re capable of with this.
The picture was very clear👍🏼 Now to rig up a Reel for the guide wire. gotta be a super sized baitcaster somewhere🙏🏼
That underwater drone is SUPER cool
Good stuff. In addition, you are the exception for your research done and how it is interlaced with the video. One fellow UA-camr explorer was "Standing on the Corner of Winslow Arizona." and had no idea of the significance of the statues, flatbed Ford, etc.
Another epic video from part-time explorer.
Never clicked so fast in my life
I would love to have one of those! Always been interested in underwater exploration.
This channel has always been a informative and amazing channel, but lately the quality has been getting higher and higher, and it was high to begin with. It’s also always nice to see Mr.Chalk in your videos. As always keep it up Tom.
Looks exciting! If I'm reading the product right it can go 330 ft? That opens up a lot of possibilities! :D With this resolution, and clear enough conditions, you could probably sweep along a wreck and create a complete panoramic view of it!
Heck, with 330 feet he could reach Andrea Doria and even Lusitania (it would be pushing it though). They also have a version which can go like 490 feet deep, which is in the territory of the Britannic.
@@sirboomsalot4902 Even with 330, if the seafloor is 400ft and Britannic is 94ft wide, the 330ft cable would still touch the hull, and definitely at least have a clear view of the ship from overhead.
the length problem is due to the cable
I certainly agree with some of the comments that are listed below, that it adds a whole new dimension to your videos. Looking forward to more investigative videos using this new technology!
Another great video! It amazing to think of when Ballard first discovered Titanic and the difference in the resolution of the footage between then and now! This is amazing for exploring the ocean!
Atlantic's Last Stop is a great and chilling book. I was happy I could get the Kindle version, and that drone looks excellent.
This is super, looking forward to future explorations with this machine 😃😃
Absolutely fascinating! I might have to get my hands on one of these and explore some lakes and rivers here in Ontario. I'm really looking forward to your future content!
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen; and what amazing footage too!!! 😀
I think it would be cool if you court take this back to the Atlantus. I’ve seen her several times and I’ve always wondered what kind of shape she’s in under the water, if there’s anything left
AWESOME EQUIPMENT !!!! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ANOTHER VIDEO WITH U USING IT!!!!
I’m excited! Can’t wait for more! I can’t remember which lake but around me somewhere there’s a train sunken train somewhere. If only they had this type of thing on oak island
Your new toy is amazing, I hope it helps bring forth many lost treasures in history
I’m glad to see Bob Chaulk making a return for another video! Will you try and take this contraption out for a return to SS Atlantic?
I just loved your helper's enthusiasm and humor....your videos just keep getting better and better!
Awesome doc. You continue to demonstrate your talent. Thank you
Looking forward to future adventures, under the sea. 👍
That drone is amazing! I have always loved underwater exploration. The picture quality is amazing! I love all your videos! Keep up the amazing work.
Awesome!! Enjoyed that venture 😎
Absolutely stunning under water footage, amazing how nature claims wreckage to flourish revealing how long vessel has been lost to time.
A wonderful video with a wonderful Fifish - really enjoyed it thank you!
*starts video* hmm...this looks familiar. oh sh*t! that's home!
I had the same feeling when he was doing his videos on the Swallow wreck and the Hudson River day line.
Should’ve put this on my Christmas list when I had the chance ;)
Pretty damn cool, I must say 👍
I now want an underwater drone, never cared for the flying ones - but this looks fun
The resolution came out beautifully on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra! Looking forward to seeing what you get into with the submersible.
This is my favourite diving spot in the city. So cool to see it from this point of view.
two things i never knew we had at the bottom of our harbour! very cool video!
What a fun adventure seeking tool. More history awaits. Thank you. Great video quality.
Those pictures were amazing and so clear and bright, especially considering what a nasty and overcast day it was. That was an eye opening experience.
That drone looks like the Thorndike special from the love bug.
Love these videos. The worst part about this one was that it was so short. I liked your SS United States video so much I bought an ashtray from the ship off of eBay!
Hello Tom 👋
And thank you for this video.
With breathtaking images. Also beautiful.
See you soon I hope 🇨🇵⚓️🙂
Awesome !! Love your channel just found it. I love watching videos of underwater ventures and just finished the Halifax disaster video you did. And the effort put into the animation is amazing too. But this is a really nice video I liked watching you both converse funny at times and that underwater device is great. A treat to watch :) from katey in scotlnd . Lol
This guy is amazing. He's found his calling. There isn't a bad video in the lot!
I know what I want for Christmas!!!! ❤
I'm glad Bob's still doing well, I haven't spoken to him since I helped fill in the blacks of Officer Brown's history for Atlantic's Last Stop.
I wonder if he ever found more use for the Harriet Brown letters 🤔
super neat! love it
Now in Mathura we have a Railway bridge which is 150 years old and still being in use. However the 1952 Road bridge has been retired and a new one has been built to replace it.
Very cool. Got to love modern technology.
Can't wait for future videos.
This is awesome!!I want one!!!
Nice video too - thanks!
I wonder if she had a combination of wood and metal ribs. I've never heard of it being done, but there is a certain logic behind it and would explain the wide spacing.
Yeah, he said later in the video that the ribs were iron. Things like this weren’t too uncommon. I have a book about the gunboats of the mid 19th century to the early 20th century and it talks about “composite gunboats” that were built like this.
11:41 That's funny. VR already makes me seasick.
quality was really good, amazing!
In the 1970s across from Shore Rd. (down below Fairbanks St.) and near one of the pylons of the bridge there was a large wreck, a steel/iron hulled ship, I seem to remember the hull as black and the number 572 was painted on her side...I have a slide of it somewhere, I'm sure. It wasn't the SS Daisy, that was used later for infill. I don't know when it disappeared, after I left the City.
Amazing video sir 👍🏾 I used to live in Dartmouth and witnessed them renovating McDonald Bridge 1999. My family owns land in Touro N,S where I would love to be the first to build a home. 😊
If it was me piloting that underwater drone, I would definitely try to do a 50 or so foot squared sweep of the area outside of each side of the wreck. Also seems like it would be worth taking out, I would probably be willing to take the unpleasant trudged out there--or possibly light swim out there lol--to get it or other parts.
Like always, a very interesting video stuff I wish I could do. With properly identified speculation as opposed to facts, just like things should be. Pure quality.
I'd love to be able to use this for this old railroad bridge over the Suwannee here that collapsed in early 1900s. But even in low water the area it's in stays deep enough which means tannins make it too dark.
this is awesome. really looking forward to more shipwrecks!
Excellent
One of my favorite youtubers doing something I'm interested in. Would love to check out the st Lawrence wreck with one of these. Loved when you discovered the piece of rail too
Great resource to add to your already great channel. Looking forward to seeing a lot more content.
you do great work. your videos are absolutely fascinating.
Great work the video looks fantastic and the V6 fifish sub drone looks very usefully to finding shipwrecks. It be fantastic to have a v6 fifish sub drone to find wrecks in the English Channel or rivers.
What a cool video and what cool little ROV. I know of some wrecks in a lake close by that would could to check out. The wrecks are old passenger steamers that plied the lake in the mid to late 1800s/ 1900s.
Nicely done….. subscribed. Looking forward to more videos.
Very nice upgrade to your travels! Looks great!👍
That was wonderful, I can't wait to see more wreck footage like this. Very well done as always, Tom!
Man i just don’t get how this video has less views than a lot of your other stuff, great vid and such a cool tool for future stuff
Great video! You gotta take a look at the brick barges that wrecked along the Hudson River near haverstraw NY! Interesting history in haverstraw along the Hudson!
Thanks for another great video! Been looking forward to another video, I thought about going to school for either marine biology or because I love ships and their history and ship wrecks and their history I thought about,possibly going in to be a marine archeologists. And this….. just make me want to do it even more thanks ❤️💝
The prospect (no pun intended) of using this to film some of the S.S. Atlantic wreck is very exciting. I imagine they could make a version wih stereoscopic cameras that could be used for making 3d computer renders.
It's always a pleasure to find another video up on this channel. Thanks for another adventure, Tom!
Very impressive drone and was good to see Bob again. I can't wait to see what kind of videos you make with it.
Fascinating!
I subscribed and 👍🏼.
I will be watching your aerial videos.
As an angler, I was concerned that your cable (I believe you said it was 100M) would get snagged.
Good job, guys!
That resolution is epic! I can just imagine tossing it over the side of a kayak or small boat to see what kind of history is lying in the deep.
You are the best history channel I know. You are the whole package, now you will add something I love so Thanks for all you do and hard work you and all who work with you do!!
Great video as always sir
Was any underwater color correction done in post? If not, the camera did a pretty solid job as-is. Definitely helps conserve air while diving.
