I think of the Baychimo as a kind ship, that just wanted to live it's own life. So when she spotted her opportunity she acted more hurt than she was and after the men left her, she was finally free. She sailed wherever and whenever she wanted and found that the nomadic life suited her quite well. Then one day she felt a storm coming on and saw some Inuit people nearby, knowing that the storm was quite a fierce one she beckoned them to come on board. And just in the nick of time they boarded her and even though there was no heat she could provide shelter from the wind and snow. After the storm she bade them farewell and set off again. Over the years she found that she had become too famous and was seen less and less as she avoided the spotlight. Finally one day after many years Baychimo felt the old familiar storm approaching and the sea said it was her time. After all these years the Baychimo reflected on her life and adventures and made peace with the fact that it was her time and slipped peacefully beneath the waves.
@@philnewcomers9170I am not criticizing your response here. Just wondering what your closing letters mean? TTFN & TY. The TY is thank you, yes? So what is the TTFN?
The story of SS Baychimo is so captivating. Incredible what a legacy a man-made hunk of steel can leave behind for us to wonder about. Thank you for the video.
Whoaa.. the first one.. if only the three cats could talk.. I strongly believe the captain was harmed and his cabin ransacked for valuables. The crew's missing personal effects indicate a voluntary abandonment of the ship. That steamship that hid its name sounds suspicious. The poor captain and the engineer.
Mutiny and then piracy maybe? Doesn’t seem likely but it’s possible. Maybe the mutinous skipper had a connection to that steamer and it was helping them get away with it.
😂😂😂 characteristic cat behavior! Sailors felt that cats brought good luck, but the occasional "unlucky" feline could be chucked overboard. They kept cargo and provisions safe from vermin, so were necessary. I heard a story of a sailor who was being mean to the crew's favorite kitty. The other sailors keel hulled him, if that's the correct expression. They were very superstitious and believed that if anything happened to the cat their voyage was damned.
@@miapdx503 Keelhaul. And yes it can be survivable. Being thrown over the bow while underway is connected to two lines port and starboard, drug under the keel of the boat to the rudder, to emerge from the water at the stern.
People died. People did not come home to their families, but thank you, I will share this joke with my family and I am sure it will provide the same warmth as if Papa was still home.
I do not at all mind hearing these stories over. Your storytelling is always factual and unfantastical, respectful of those lost and those left behind, and presented in one of the most pleasant, listenable voices among all the YT channels I watch. You are a pleasure and a treasure.
Very professional production and extremely evocative. The video resonates with melancholia awa mystery. I immediately subscribed to the channel on my way in. Kudos!
This channel was such a perfect recommendation from the algorithm! I have never cared about boats at all, but these stories are so well presented that I'm totally invested. Great stuff!
Yo this guy is too humble! Big Old Boats has a whole in-depth and fantastically researched video on the SS Marquette & Bessemer No. 2 mentioned during the beginning of the SS Bannockburn chapter, please go check it out it's an amazing production!
Im glad you covered the Baychimo. I'd seen a longer video on her and couldn't remember her name. She's got such an amazing history and story, and is such a part of Northern Canada culture, I'm sure her story will live and eventually grow to godess level of lore. Im glad i saw the thumbnail for the Great Lake's wrecks and watched it. Nice to know about where a person lives. I appreciate the way you educate us. I'd noticed one of your Patreon's is another creator I greatly respect and admire. That was good enough for me to subscribe and see more. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and work so hard for us, and yourself.
Baychimo is my absolute favorite ghost ship. It had so many confirmed sightings after abandonment. Innuit even sheltered in it years later when they came upon it. It's INSANE how it survived so long unmanned in one of the most treacherous seas on Earth. 30 years.
I’ve watched them all. Many repeatedly. I love this content. I really do. The irony of this fascination is that I have an all encompassing mortal fear of boats. All boats. 😐 For my whole entire life. It’s unexplainable. There was no ‘event’. I am a strong swimmer having ocean swam since childhood. I have absolutely no rational reason to find these docos so completely fascinating. Weird. Thank you for the efforts 🙏♥️
My comment could be very similar except I'm only afraid of sunken ships. Something about a massive freighter just lying beneath the still waters is terrifying.
HA!! I have a very real phobia of ships (also since earliest memory, also no event, also strong swimmer) and that brought me to this content. Trying to get rid of it, that is. Hearing and understanding these stories managed to tone down the reaction to -seeing- ships. The channel's professional approach to these topics really makes one of my all-time favourite things on the internet. Though... now I wonder how many of the viewers share this curious state of mind.
Same here. I'm terrified of sunken/underwater objects. Even in a swimming pool. But I LOVE learning about ships and shipwrecks, and this channel is one of my favorites to listen to as I drift off to sleep.
Do you have dreams about boats? I have the same obsessive fear but with planes. Ever since young childhood, I have had nightmares a plane would crash outside my house. People would run around screaming injured and on fire but I can't help, usually because debris has destroyed my front stairwell or sometimes I can't move. Think it's due to living under a runway, and the sound of the engines getting louder influenced my dream.
I think it's because ships feel alive, for me at least. A broken or sunken ship is like a dead body, or instills the same dread. I don't know why my brain insists on comparing boats to something alive, but a mouth opening and eating me is a vision I get near them.
She was awe inspiring & im sure the old sea salts would nod with approval while packing a fresh pipe bowl under their SouWesters hats. "Gaarr she'd round the Cape in fine fettle".
Not really sure, but feel your voice is even more fitting than usual when describing such mysterious happenings as here, when ships dissapear to never being heard of again and such :)
Im literally OBSESSED with your channel! Im so happy i found it! Finally after 10 years on UA-cam they recommended me something i actually wanted to see 😂
The Carol E Deering does seem to have been purposely abandoned as both lifeboats were missing. And it would seem that unfortunately no one survived in those lifeboats. Or they died on the Hewitt.
Have you ever thought to explore any stories about sinkings on the Columbia River Bar? I just got back from the Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria, Oregon and wow! I had no idea so many disasters were so close to where I live!
I was just about to bring up that museum! It’s a fantastic experience. And it has so many artifacts from the time you can almost imagine those old piers and ports that were teeming with cargo.
Have not thought of Goast Ships for years. I remember the sailing Ship Griffin which disappeared on the great lakes. I will have to look that up again. Great history thanks.
I am so glad I found your channel. I love your calm, informative style. I do wish you'd drop the background music. It adds nothing and distracts from your voice and the story. Thank you for doing all the work it must take to make these videos.
I just read the comments. You have a terrific following! These stories really are haunting, but that's in part due to your talents as a writer and narrator. You imbue your posts with nostalgia, good humor and melancholy--no small accomplishment.
Five mast schooners like the Carroll A. Deering were arguably the most beautiful ships that ever sailed the oceans. Such a pity that their era belongs to the past.
I live on the edge of Lake Erie and they sail some tall ships each year. They take Maritime History here seriously. I know they're different but still pretty cool. I'm not aware of these specific ships but it's possible one of the museums has one that they sail. I know they are displayed.
Baychimo bell hangs within Robert James home on shore of Chukchi Sea in Wainwright Alaska. I know this because for many years it was the home where I too resided. There is an interesting book published describing how upon her abandonment she was returning to Europe with canadian uranium ore in her hold
This is such a fantastic show!!! Cristina, you do this so well. Communication really is your gift,. I was in info overload until the redundancy was stated. Can't get enough info now. Thank you for your tireless efforts.. 😊😊😊
January 31, 2024. UPDATE The SS Waratah was recently in the news here in Canada that a wooden hull washed up on shore and many believe it is the remains of this ship. They are now planning to bring the remaining timbers ashore to try and do a positive identification. Regards people, Tony L.
Yeah i agree the Baychimo was definitely an free spirit that offered refuge to those caught up in an strom and of course not only would the Inuit tribes be thankful for her refuge but for there sprituality then understanding as the ghost ship bade them her farewells for her next mysterious and ethereal voyage..
I recently found this fascinating channel just by chance and became immediately addicted. Extremely well researched and presented, the videos are of the highest quality. I would however like to point out one minor aspect that caught my attention - one does not know whether the footage shown in some cases, or photos, are actually authentic pertaining to the subject matter - a brief note at the bottom (e.g. stating "original footage/ photo" or "not original") would be appreciated, I think, by all viewers. Keep up the great work, best regards from Hamburg, Germany.😊
It is easy to understand ghost ships if you have been asea on a foggy day. You see the shadows of ships in the fog l,and the look eerie. Once in Maine, I was on shore and saw a three master sailboat in the fog and it looked transparent. As it turned away, I thought the sails looked tattered. When I told the guy I was with, he said there was a ghost ship that was spotted there many times over the years. When I saw an image of the vessel, it looked just like the ship I had seen. There are only a few 3 masted schooners in the area, but no one knew of any out on that day. I still wonder what I saw that day.
SS Baychimo, how about the natives sheltering in her for 10 days. And then claim , she's cursed?!?!? Wow that's gratitude. And what about there dogs? Or maybe that was another witness? And wouldn't be cool to find her in Hawaii a/o Antarctica, that'd be crazy even more I mean 😂
What a fantastic job you did and what beautiful footage ! You are so articulate. I love it ! Merry Christmas to you and yours and ❤&🙏 to you always! J♡
❤❤ I love it when you post. Such interesting topics. And that enchanting voice.I live right next to the lake Michigan triangle and I've always been drawn to Big old boats also❤
I hardly know where to begin...the Baychimo needs her own movie. The Deering isn't that mysterious. The man who threatened to kill the Captain delivered on his promise. He had help. I think that after they killed the Captain they probably looted the ship and left in lifeboats. The Scandinavians left behind...kinda strange, but after what they experienced they probably got back as quickly and quietly as possible. It makes me sick that this Captain was enjoying his best life in retirement...and took on one last, fatal assignment. I can't understand why he kept on such a hostile seaman...who threatened his life. Just not very smart. His reliance on one other crew member for his safety, again, wth... Maybe one day you will do a video about the role cats played on ships. To many superstitious sailors, they meant luck. For the provisions and cargo, they saved precious and vital assets from vermin. Some believed that killing a ship cat would doom a voyage. You would think there'd be a vessel named for one of the well known feline. Js thanks for another excellent video. Your content is so good and well presented, I can watch the same ones a few times and they never get old...it just gets better. 🌹⚓
I seen a ghost ship while commercial fishing in the Gulf of Maine. She was fricking huge. I don't tell anyone as they would think I'm full of shit. I was doing a wheel watch steaming back to the dock. She was seen at George's banks. This is the first time I'd said anything about it.
How tragic is that ? To be saved from an endangered vessel by another ship just passing nearby, only to go down with her during the same terrible storm (as one theory went pertaining to the missing crew of the Carroll A. Deering). !!!
Awesome 👍 I love your work. You've provided me hours of educational yet suspenseful entertainment. I've watched all of your content. Keep up the good work and thank you!
Wild to here the one Captain is from Port Dalhousie, grew up in St. Catharines (which Port is now a port of or as the locals pronounce it, port-dal-uzi) and never heard of it!
Did anyone catch the subtitles at 7:37? Hilarious! The subtitle narrator must have been recording, or dictating the script live when he, or a coworker interjected “I guess they all chilled at the same bar talking shit about each other”. Clearly not a part of the narration script. What caught my attention was seeing the word chilled, it stuck out like a sore thumb. I actually don’t read subtitles on the regular, I like them so I can refer back to them if I cant hear the actor/narrator clearly. So…I guess they all chilled at the same bar talking shit about each other…this the only conclusion one can draw from this spellbinding and captivating nugget of history.
I want to commend you. You have a natural talent for coming up with interesting and unique lines to use in your videos. You are very good at what you do, and I really enjoy your videos. You should try poetry if you don't already. You have a talent with words that can't be taught. It's a natural gift. I loved the closing line in the Resolven video.
That poor young boy, orphaned and only on that ship working to support his younger brothers. Heartbreaking! I wonder what became of them after they lost him too.
I grew up four miles north of Sequim Washington in a tribal community of Jamestown S'klallam tribe. According to history a Captain Manuel Quimby came into tribal area in 1774. He was a Spanish explorer going through the Juan de Fuca strait on his ship called the Aquila. This was recorded as first contact with Pacific Northwest tribes. According to my mother there was a ghost ship that floated into the area prior to Captain Manuel's arrival. The tribe was not unfamiliar with European built ships when Captain Quimby arrived. That is all that is known about this ghost ship. My mother has said that Japanese currents effect the area. It has been recorded that a Japanese fisherman was caught up in these currents and landed in our tribal area. He married into the tribe. Do you have any idea where this ghost was from?
For SS Waratah, I assume the most likely event was her ultimately a fire. The reason for her course back for port being a need of help due to a fire on-board either in her coal bunker or flaw with her boilers that caused pressure to build up. Without a telegraph on-board, she was effectively on her own and unable to call for help incase she had to evacuate. And that was what assured her fate. Then it happened. As she was steaming back at full or near full speed, the pressure gave away and she went up. Her boiler erupted and the ship was effectively torn apart, maybe in two, before rapidly sinking. So sudden that no passengers or crew saw it coming, likely dead where they stood as their ship went boom under them. Waratah, now ripped apart and left crippled, quickly disappeared in a few minutes or less. The explosion assured the wreck would tear itself apart as it went down, any air pockets causing implosion that further torn and ripped apart. Strewn throughout the sea floor, the Waratah sat not as a complete mass, but tons of wreckage spread across the sea floor.
This may be crazy, but I wonder if, after the mutiny, the crew put the red lights up to attract another ship under the guise of needing help? Then the crew, after getting “rescued” took over the new ship. After all, the Captain of the Deering thought he was safe because there was nothing to steal. Well, maybe they found something to steal. And a new ship would be helpful too. That would explain why the ships were seen together and why the following ship covered its name plate. Abandon the Deering and sail away. Having two separate mutinies isn’t impossible, but seems like if you’re going to seize one ship, why not just go ahead and try to make something out of it? I would rather believe they just drowned, but if they got in the lifeboats, where were they going to go?
Could the Bannockburn have suffered far more serious damage to her hull in the collision that occured before she sailed on her final voyage? The hull plate later found could point to the possibility that she apparently sank from one minute to the next, which could have been caused by catastrophic flooding through loosened or missing plates of the hull, sending her down to the bottom of the lake, literally within seconds?
@@jedimindtricks5880 The Edmund Fitzgerald would beg to differ I think.(as close to seconds as I know of on the lakes). As well as a few others I'm sure, as before wireless we have no idea how many went down nor how fast.

I strongly believe the captain was harmed and his cabin ransacked for valuables. The crew's missing personal effects indicate a voluntary abandonment of the ship. That steamship that hid its name sounds suspicious.
The poor captain and the engineer.
Definitely sounds like piracy was involved - with the captains' cabin being occupied at some point by someone else.
Piracy or mutiny but he wanted to land in VA and not go all the way up the coast. I can imagine working with that crew of shitheads, I do it daily.
Mutiny and then piracy maybe? Doesn’t seem likely but it’s possible. Maybe the mutinous skipper had a connection to that steamer and it was helping them get away with it.

Bannockburn is like a Missing 411 case, except a ship instead of a person.
What a fantastic job you did and what beautiful footage ! You are so articulate. I love it ! Merry Christmas to you and yours and ❤&🙏 to you always! J♡
This channel is so well done! High quality!
I was just looking for new ghost ship videos not too long ago. Thanks.
Delaware is north of Hampton Roads and the opposite direction to Rio De Janerio. Odd they would sail in that direction.
That’s gotta fucking suck, getting caught in a hurricane and making it away to a new ship just for it to disappear
❤❤ I love it when you post. Such interesting topics. And that enchanting voice.I live right next to the lake Michigan triangle and I've always been drawn to Big old boats also❤
I love listening to your narrations. Thank you!
SS Baychimo Is not cursed with the elements and wind, she is one her own.❤
Told so well about them all.
Such a narrator. Perfect voice for haunted mystery ships
I love the story of the Baychimo!! All of them are interesting but Baychimo is great!
I hardly know where to begin...the Baychimo needs her own movie.
The Deering isn't that mysterious. The man who threatened to kill the Captain delivered on his promise. He had help. I think that after they killed the Captain they probably looted the ship and left in lifeboats. The Scandinavians left behind...kinda strange, but after what they experienced they probably got back as quickly and quietly as possible. It makes me sick that this Captain was enjoying his best life in retirement...and took on one last, fatal assignment. I can't understand why he kept on such a hostile seaman...who threatened his life. Just not very smart. His reliance on one other crew member for his safety, again, wth...
Maybe one day you will do a video about the role cats played on ships. To many superstitious sailors, they meant luck. For the provisions and cargo, they saved precious and vital assets from vermin. Some believed that killing a ship cat would doom a voyage. You would think there'd be a vessel named for one of the well known feline. Js thanks for another excellent video. Your content is so good and well presented, I can watch the same ones a few times and they never get old...it just gets better. 🌹⚓
I will always laugh at “Limperator.” Every goddamned time.
Really enjoyed this. Was a great listen 😊
I seen a ghost ship while commercial fishing in the Gulf of Maine. She was fricking huge. I don't tell anyone as they would think I'm full of shit. I was doing a wheel watch steaming back to the dock. She was seen at George's banks. This is the first time I'd said anything about it.
I would have crapped my pants to see a Ghost Ship in the dark. Just come sailing up all quiet 🤫.
How can you tell it's a ghost ship and not just a ship?
@@vampirecount3880, no sound whatsoever and no running lights whatsoever.
@@semperparatus678 Yeah that would look suspicious indeed
@@vampirecount3880 could you describe what she looks like?
How tragic is that ? To be saved from an endangered vessel by another ship just passing nearby, only to go down with her during the same terrible storm (as one theory went pertaining to the missing crew of the Carroll A. Deering). !!!
Awesome 👍 I love your work. You've provided me hours of educational yet suspenseful entertainment. I've watched all of your content. Keep up the good work and thank you!
Idk why but cars and ships seem to have souls to me. its always hard to watch them go or be scrapped.
Great job! Any chance you could do an episode that maps out Full or No-Moons to events? Might give way to some neat demographics.
I'm not sure if I can always find that info but it would be interesting to track!
Ooooh that’s a great idea!
The name of the musical piece that starts about 1:42 alludes me, does anyone know what ours called??
Wild to here the one Captain is from Port Dalhousie, grew up in St. Catharines (which Port is now a port of or as the locals pronounce it, port-dal-uzi) and never heard of it!
*hear
God I adore this channel so so so much. These videos are so well made and beautiful. Do you have a patreon?
Thank you so much! Yes, I do: www.patreon.com/BigOldBoats
This is such a great video thank you!! Carroll A Deering is fascinating!
I loved this, the footage was wonderful too.
I really like your videos keep up the good work 😀
Did anyone catch the subtitles at 7:37? Hilarious! The subtitle narrator must have been recording, or dictating the script live when he, or a coworker interjected “I guess they all chilled at the same bar talking shit about each other”. Clearly not a part of the narration script. What caught my attention was seeing the word chilled, it stuck out like a sore thumb. I actually don’t read subtitles on the regular, I like them so I can refer back to them if I cant hear the actor/narrator clearly. So…I guess they all chilled at the same bar talking shit about each other…this the only conclusion one can draw from this spellbinding and captivating nugget of history.
I really enjoy your narration
I want to commend you. You have a natural talent for coming up with interesting and unique lines to use in your videos. You are very good at what you do, and I really enjoy your videos. You should try poetry if you don't already. You have a talent with words that can't be taught. It's a natural gift. I loved the closing line in the Resolven video.
This video is so well made I love it
That poor young boy, orphaned and only on that ship working to support his younger brothers. Heartbreaking! I wonder what became of them after they lost him too.
I love your little spooky intro
I grew up four miles north of Sequim Washington in a tribal community of Jamestown S'klallam tribe. According to history a Captain Manuel Quimby came into tribal area in 1774. He was a Spanish explorer going through the Juan de Fuca strait on his ship called the Aquila. This was recorded as first contact with Pacific Northwest tribes. According to my mother there was a ghost ship that floated into the area prior to Captain Manuel's arrival. The tribe was not unfamiliar with European built ships when Captain Quimby arrived. That is all that is known about this ghost ship. My mother has said that Japanese currents effect the area. It has been recorded that a Japanese fisherman was caught up in these currents and landed in our tribal area. He married into the tribe. Do you have any idea where this ghost was from?
Your videos are Ken Burns esque shorts.
Great research and story telling.
The music had my skin crawling bruh lmao eerie af
Great video ❤👍 was nice to hear my home town of Welland Ontario Canada mentioned. Welland Canal
Great narration.
For SS Waratah, I assume the most likely event was her ultimately a fire. The reason for her course back for port being a need of help due to a fire on-board either in her coal bunker or flaw with her boilers that caused pressure to build up. Without a telegraph on-board, she was effectively on her own and unable to call for help incase she had to evacuate. And that was what assured her fate.
Then it happened. As she was steaming back at full or near full speed, the pressure gave away and she went up. Her boiler erupted and the ship was effectively torn apart, maybe in two, before rapidly sinking. So sudden that no passengers or crew saw it coming, likely dead where they stood as their ship went boom under them. Waratah, now ripped apart and left crippled, quickly disappeared in a few minutes or less. The explosion assured the wreck would tear itself apart as it went down, any air pockets causing implosion that further torn and ripped apart. Strewn throughout the sea floor, the Waratah sat not as a complete mass, but tons of wreckage spread across the sea floor.
Love the hesitation after you said the name. Christopher Columbus!😅
This may be crazy, but I wonder if, after the mutiny, the crew put the red lights up to attract another ship under the guise of needing help? Then the crew, after getting “rescued” took over the new ship.
After all, the Captain of the Deering thought he was safe because there was nothing to steal. Well, maybe they found something to steal. And a new ship would be helpful too.
That would explain why the ships were seen together and why the following ship covered its name plate. Abandon the Deering and sail away.
Having two separate mutinies isn’t impossible, but seems like if you’re going to seize one ship, why not just go ahead and try to make something out of it?
I would rather believe they just drowned, but if they got in the lifeboats, where were they going to go?
Goodness the Deering was such a beautiful ship. I hope against hope that the people aboard her did not suffer
Could the Bannockburn have suffered far more serious damage to her hull in the collision that occured before she sailed on her final voyage? The hull plate later found could point to the possibility that she apparently sank from one minute to the next, which could have been caused by catastrophic flooding through loosened or missing plates of the hull, sending her down to the bottom of the lake, literally within seconds?
I dont think it is possible for such a ship to sink within Meer seconds even if the hull had been punched in?
@@jedimindtricks5880 The Edmund Fitzgerald would beg to differ I think.(as close to seconds as I know of on the lakes). As well as a few others I'm sure, as before wireless we have no idea how many went down nor how fast.
@@jedimindtricks5880if the hole is big enough and the water rough enough anything can sink within seconds
