Amazing footage. Incredible condition. Some of the woodwork looks new. Thanks for sharing your hard and dangerous diving with us. (Bet it was darn cold down there! Too much for me)
17 years of scuba diving, professional. Red corals for 7 years. 5000 deep dives, deeper than 60m. Almost all oceans. I have not seen better than this. Its a dream, not a wreck. You lucky bastards ;)
It's not that, the video probably just hadn't gone through the related video bars for whatever reason. There are other videos on here of ships at the bottom of Lake Superior and they have a considerable amount of views and likes.
260 ft of any water is difficult, the deeper the dive the longer to get back to the surface, screw up on your calculations and you’re in a world of pain !
I'm with you! But once people see this channel and the word gets around, The word will spread. Great sharp camera work and a good eye to detail. Fascinating viewing!
Absolutely stunning. What a beautiful wreck and a rare treat for those of you that can accomplish a depth like that. Thank you for sharing. I am amazed to see that beautiful fireplace with a clock on it and the electric fan. Also the kitchen stove with the hot water boiler on it and electrical lighting was a surprise to see. I would not have thought that they would have ran electrical in boats 110 years ago. This video was quite the learning experience.
Superbe. Shipwreck in lake (and less salt) are much more haunting...well preserved. My first one was a old 60s crashed car during winter (only explication in a middle of a lake),after planes...cars..military stuff..boats..bunkers...it's magic.
Under water wrecks have always fascinated and scared me, I could never dive into any lake or ocean,but I greatly admire those who do. I remember the first film footage of the Titanic back in the mid 1980s,I am still in awe of that ship.
What an amazing video! I can't believe how well preserved she is! It's absolutely remarkable, it must have been an incredible experience to dive on her. Thank you very much for sharing this footage
Fascinating footage, showing the remarkable condition of the vessel , which has been under the water longer than the Titanic, But is in much better preservation than the famous liner, We know there is a world of difference in the water which both vessels lie in, I'm no authority on it, but I'm guessing the water in the north Atlantic is much more corrosive than the cold waters of the deep lake.Great footage !!
The good news for this ship is that it sank so gracefully that barely any furniture moved. That the fact that the bulbs didn’t even break. Wish you guys could have brushed some debris off the cabin floors so I could see their patterns.
Dont mean to keep commenting so much, but this was one of the BEST videos of this nature I've viewed. Just cant Express my thoughts enough, so THANK YOU RICK. SINCERELY: GREG N CAROLYN CHANEY IN ORIENTAL NC
Awesome job and excellent content Wow appreciated that after 40 years of diving I have never seen anything as pristine looking as this one! immensely cool!🙂✌
Incredible condition, it's eerie to see wood so beautifully preserved. I love that the fan somehow stayed on the mantlepiece even as it sank. (Unless a very tidy diver put it back there). Also it's very cool to have a yacht with a fireplace. Gilded age goals. Kudos for doing it on a twinset :)
That was truly amazing how preserved and conditions it remains for all theses years. And the filming created of this too, nothing like the titanic ive watched, and that was too amazing to see. Thank you for sharing. Would of love every bit if i had a chance for that dive.WOW.
As everyone said, this wreck is amazingly well preserved. My only complaint is it would have been nice to start out the video with photos or a drawing of the Gunilda so the viewer would have a better idea what the ship looked like and how things were placed.
@johnson11b - Is that what you do when offering tactful, polite constructive criticism about something? Go and make one the way you would like it to be? Is that how it works? Gosh, I wish I had seen your reply sooner. Recently, I had a friend who offered some constructive criticism regarding a neighbor's tool shed I was renovating. I thanked him for his opinion, and took it into consideration. I guess I should have just told him that he could always go and make a tool shed the way he felt it should be.
Fantastic video! I've loved this kind of stuff since I started reading Clive Cusslers novels. If I could do that I just know id be down there pretending to be Dirk Pitt
She must of sank very gently for so much of her to be in this much good shape and stuff in the ship still being in the spot it was left and not thrown about everywhere
Wow, to think she's been down there a little longer than the Titanic, at much less of a depth too, and she looks like she sank a year ago! I guess that's because it's in fresh water, and not salt water? Stunning footage, thank you for sharing.
Incredible task could only imagine how much preparation for such a dive, everything looked so flawless very well done! top notch footage a good narrator could turn this into a very memorable documentary 🖒🖒👏👏
Probably in a minority here, but I think wrecks like this should be left as is, in situ. The depth, cold, and darkness have probably helped keep it from being plundered. This dive is an awesome achievement - big respect to @UC-B5DpMfB3xPrhv5EZLTTSg Richard kruzel. I hope to work up the skills to do it myself someday, preferably before dying of old age.
The cold temperatures of the great lakes acts like a giant refrigerator. The cold temperatures and depth of the wreck limit the amount of marine organisms that would normally cause decay such as shipworms. The ship is still decaying, just at a really slow pace and could last centuries well preserved.
The great lakes is just one region of the world where wooden shipwrecks have been found well preserved.Other regions include the baltic sea and black sea. Usually the deeper the wreck ,the more the chance of preservation due to cold temperatures, lack of abundant marine life, and lower levels of oxegenated water which would halt biological decay and slow chemical reactions such as rust.
Rosalinda Cleofas Aquino There is diver etiquette. You generally dont touch anything unless you’re told you can touch something. This protects coral, sea life, yourself, and shipwrecks. They may look “frozen” in time, but are still objects that do corrode and weaken over time.
Yeah right. The windows are busted out not to mention all the other damage, I've seen footage of the inside that showed some kind of rot. who know what kind of damage was done by the actual sinking. Not to mention the second you pulled it up it would start to decompose. There was a famous ship that was salvaged from, I think Lake Michigan, that was in amazing shape, it had been down for a long time but they brought it up and within a few years it had rotted to nothing. They didn't have the know how or the funds to properly treat it. If this ship was brought up it would have to be sprayed with preservatives and kept in certain conditions or it would just fall apart. It's been down too long. This ship is in good shape for a shipwreck but saying it would be fine with a coat of paint is absurd hyperbole.
@@Vichedges The only thing I would even think about touching is the wheel. I mean, it would be so cool to just turn the wheel, even a tiny bit. But then again in the real world I wouldn't do that cause it could just fall off immediately if its not held in place well.
Actually do to it being so cold and being Fresh water it is very much reserved there is another one sink around the same time they wanted to raise because of the stunning preservation, the shelf’s are still stocked with plates and tables still sit up right in the donning area with tables it’s crazy I would check it out if I was you!
@@darringraham2613 Well the Titanic snapped in half, sunk way deeper, and weighed a lot more. It's steel also was not good at all. That's why it is such poor shape.
after so long in the water without being exposed to oxygen raising it would make it deteriorate fairly fast.unfortunately the preservation techniques we have todat are fairly expensive
Yes she is steel. Yes, also mast and sail, as was common on early steam yachts. Built in Leith Scotland, 1897. 195' long x 25' wide. Steel hull. If you Google her, you can probably find some pictures of her while still afloat.
She sank after the salvage company tried to pull her off. Apparently the owner didn’t want to pay the money for the second tugboat that they wanted to use
Steve Franklin we didn’t have muscles in Canada’s fresh waters until the early 80’s. I swam in every Great Lake and hundreds of our inland lakes barefoot. My children could not go in without swimming shoes.
The guy who owned the ship was rich enough to build this ship....sail it around full of passengers for fun.....but he balked at paying a pilot and getting a second tug to help pull it off the reef. How did such a fool get so rich? I guess he never heard penny wise pound foolish.
Can’t even believe this is real. Looks like a movie set or something! Amazing.

I can't believe only 20 people "liked" this... It was incredible! Do folks not understand the difficulty of diving in 260 feet of Lake Superior..?
It's not that, the video probably just hadn't gone through the related video bars for whatever reason. There are other videos on here of ships at the bottom of Lake Superior and they have a considerable amount of views and likes.
I cant believe as you so few views. A girl bouncing her boobs gets 4 million views.

A treasure trove of nautical collectibles,great footage 👍

Wow, absolutely amazing. To say she sank in 1911 the condition is amazing. Thank you for sharing. 👍

After 109 years she's still stunning, I can only imagine what she looked like in her prime.
Pretty much the same as she looks now lol!
Intriguing location for that massive anchor!
Great tour! Almost felt like I was there! Great job!
Incredible how preserved shipwrecks of the great lakes are.
I'd love to be able to dive and come across a find like this, well preserved in the cold dark depths of the great lakes.
Beautiful wreck !

You could always make your own video of how you feel it should be

In the deep cold waters of Lake Superior this wreck should last several hundred years.

bmused55 I believe it’s more about the extreme cold. Something about the micro things that eat the wood can’t survive in the cold
Incredible task could only imagine how much preparation for such a dive, everything looked so flawless very well done! top notch footage a good narrator could turn this into a very memorable documentary
🖒🖒👏👏
breathtaking ,time travel, very daring dive.
Very nice video. Thank you for your hard work.
109 years ago she sank and it sits on the bottom, at rest in the dark in pristine condition.
Excellent video! Great footage.

9:00 That old fan on the mantle would be worth a mint.
You can get them on eBay from time to time for about $75 non-working, $ 100 working. So, no it isn't
That ships wheel is worth a small fortune....and should be saved ....but mybe it's already salvaged......
Everything looks like its still in good shape
Wow! How's it possible that after 100 plus years it's still in near perfect and what looks to be salvageable shape?

Wow best conditioned ship wreck I've ever seen it's amazing
Really a fine time capsule and easy to want to explore but too deep to stay long.
The lake so cold I'll bet if you rasied her today she would look brand new with a coat of paint and some new rigging.

Wow. Pristine. Great 👍edit, dive work.
She sank one year before the Titanic.
Actually only a matter of months. Gunilda sank in August 1911, Titanic in April of 1912.
I wish the Titanic was in as good of shape as this one
@@darringraham2613 After all these years, the Titanic's pool is still full of water.
@@johnchalleen3278 😂
@@darringraham2613 Well the Titanic snapped in half, sunk way deeper, and weighed a lot more. It's steel also was not good at all. That's why it is such poor shape.
She is in a great condition still, what a shame that its so expesive to bring her upp from the darkness and give her a new life!!
Wow!! Is it possible to recover her?
This is beautiful how big was she? Nice job guys
She's about 200' long.
Excellent job - really enjoyed this video - you've got my sub.
Fantastic!!!! Cheers!
Amazing 😍
Is the wreck somehow protected? The binnacle, bell and other goodies, I would think, would be a prime target for looters.
Yeah, she’s protected. Plus, she’s too deep for some back woods scrappers to get to her
Are you allowed to salvage from it? that bell would be nice as a memorial in a museum.
why aren't there people interested in raising these boats in lake sup ?
Cost prohibitive. Government regulation. Lack of interest.
If the money was there a treasure of this quality would have to be a part of a museum. Believe me they would come .
after so long in the water without being exposed to oxygen raising it would make it deteriorate fairly fast.unfortunately the preservation techniques we have todat are fairly expensive
I mean, if someone really wanted to they could. It worked for the Vasa, though it would be very risky.
Sir Boomsalot : it would be wonderful if it could done
Nice job!
Thanks Scott!
That cool how long did it take to find the ship
The lake Superior wrecks are better because they don't have those mussels stuck allover everything.
Were there fatalities in the sinking?
No there weren't. She went aground and everyone went ashore. It sank when the salvage company attempted to pull her from the shoal she was stuck on.
There was a fatality years later...in 1970...King Hague died from nitrogen narcosis while diving...his body was not retrieved until years later.
amasing condition
Was she steel? Did she also have masts and sails? Please some details.
Yes she is steel. Yes, also mast and sail, as was common on early steam yachts. Built in Leith Scotland, 1897. 195' long x 25' wide. Steel hull. If you Google her, you can probably find some pictures of her while still afloat.
Actually looks restorable
Did you see King while you were down there?
Is this ship dived on often? Small everyday items missing.
I'm betting the music down there is not nearly as optimistic as in the video.
You couldn't have done better!
To think, if it had not sank, it would hat rotted and been broken up decades ago.
fascinating!!
Great
It ran aground but sank 260’?
She sank after the salvage company tried to pull her off. Apparently the owner didn’t want to pay the money for the second tugboat that they wanted to use
What's the music used?
Also, I restore old boats and I'd love to just be a helper on the raising and restoration of this yacht.
Great footage but the music is something else say less desirable
Could have done without the creepy music but whatever floats your boat.
Too soon?
Floats? It sunk.
It's been 117 years, I think you can joke about it now.
Or sinks your ship
No BGM please.
Leave it to natural sounds.
It needs to be raised b4 the muscles take her over and she is lost for ever
Muscles and marine life ha had 115 years to attack her. CLEARLY, this is not going to happen.
Steve Franklin we know they won’t but they have the opportunity
Steve Franklin we didn’t have muscles in Canada’s fresh waters until the early 80’s. I swam in every Great Lake and hundreds of our inland lakes barefoot. My children could not go in without swimming shoes.
@@rickkentner1713 understood, then they have had 30 plus years to attack, and haven't, for some reason .
Mussels.
I'll bet Harkness saw to it that the Captain never worked on the water ever again.
Wow
look like she could be raised and sailed in a couple of days.
The dishes were there in 2001 video dam lol
Contact mike nelson seahunt.if any questions.

Great footage. Horrible music. Maybe go for something more elevator music than invigorating music...

How did such a fool get so rich? I guess he never heard penny wise pound foolish.
Maybe an insurance job?
