As a retired Sailor, these maritime stories have a place in my heart. In 1994 I was stationed on USS Whidbey Island LSD 41. Helped to rescue 8100 Cuban nationals from the Florida Straits in their attempt to reach the United States via whatever they could find that floats.
I’m not a sailor and no one in my family ever have been to my knowledge, but for some reason maritime stories just hit differently. I think sailors are so brave as it seems like just a little mistake can cause major disasters, I think that’s why I’m always so interested! I have a lot of respect (little understanding of what it means to be a sailor at any time) for sailors
@@nataliabirchall9093 Prime example of how one mistake led to fatal consequences. My 3rd ship, USS Kinkaid DD 965, was on deployment to the Western Pacific in 1989. The Officer Of The Deck (OOD) lost situational awareness while transiting the Malacca Straits causing a collision with a Singapore freighter. The Kinkaid's navigation officer was killed while asleep in his stateroom. 12 other Sailors were hurt. The Kinkaid sustained damage causing flooding because the bow of the freighter tore a 14 foot by 56 foot hole in the starboard side behind the helicopter hangar.

I'm an absolute sponge for a well told history lesson. My father is a retired history teacher and even after all these years he never ceases to feed my hunger for history lessons because he still searches daily for new knowledge 🤓🤓. I recently introduced him to this channel. He's ecstatic to have another source for history and he really enjoys seeing the passion and enthusiasm these lessons are told with.
Very well presented. One thing that makes these types of tragedies so sad is knowing that if one or 2 happenstances had occured differently, the tragedies would have been avoided.
I want to take the time to thank you, The History Guy for your documentary on the Sultana. Nobody could have put it better. I salute you and our military for all you do and all you've done. God Bless you.
😔💔 Heartbreaking. Yeah... it distresses me to see(wonderful) Organizations like "wounded warriors" needing donations for something the GOVERMENT should be doing for these brave Men and Women hurt and maimed in action, where the government sent them, with the equipment the government gave them. The Vets of America and there Families should NOT WANT for ANYTHING . While many of these soldiers were overseas in a war ... many.. of there Families were on Welfare ! I didn't even know about that till I seen a show about it, on ... maybe .. Frontline? Much Respect Sir and Blessings to you and your family.
To just stand there, my god, they were strong men. Wish people were like this still. To give their lives for those women and children. To give their lives for others they deserved medals for that. Those poor blokes stuck below deck.
Haven’t watched a THG video in a couple months because I wanted to give time for a ton of videos to be uploaded so I could binge, this alert was the one that got me started on said binge
Thank you for keeping history alive, it gives me the opportunity to do the same History Guy.. well done! I will never forget the accidents of 1844 wow that really impacted the USA... actually all of the stories will be retold. Very well done.
All the British Soldiers on board the HMS Birkenhead commited the most loyal, selfless, brave, courageous, heroic - act ever. They would of all known the slow, torteous fate that was to come by following these orders. I have the utmost respect for VC & Medal of Honor Recopients, but this makes these Soldiers more courageous than VC & Medal of Honor Recipients. The level of valour that these British Soldiers displayed when they followed the Colonel's request to save Women & Children first, is far greater than any other act of valour I've read or heard about.
I’ve literally watched hundreds of your videos! Hope you’re doing well. You do these videos w an actual historian perspective where you don’t insert your political or social beliefs… just tell the story and I love that. 🫡 to you. I’ll give ya a watch as long as you’re doing em!
Birkenhead Drill..... omg, those poor soldiers, so very brave and made of stronger stuff than most people in our time, it's a very emotional story of unbridled honor 😢
In your closing about the Sultana disaster, one could easily see how heartbroken you are speaking of the horrors that those poor veterans faced! You Sir are an excellent Historian and certainly a very good man! My hat is off to you and Thank you.
I've recently discoverer your channel and subscribed. Fabulous content presented with genuine interest and personality. I am not a history buff, but your presentations are must see and incredibly interesting. You need a network show!
I am a student of the Civil War. I have studied the Sultana disaster thoroughly. It was a real tragedy brought about by greed and indifference to human lives. It is perhaps the saddest thing I have studied.
What i don’t understand, why put a Commercial right when the story Climax is ready to start? I’m sure it is a UBeeTuBee policy and not the program, but it’s like they don’t want you to watch the show!
Great compilation! I would love to see you do a post on the sinking of the SS America, 'The Ship of Gold'. It's an amazing story and would fit in your channel quite well.
Seventy-nine years ago today, the most catastrophic maritime disaster in human history occurred. On January 30, 1945, the Soviet submarine S-13, under the command of Captain Alexander Marinesko, torpedoed the Wilhelm Gustloff, a German military transport ship, which had been repurposed for evacuating more than 10,600 German war refugees from the eastern parts of the Reich across the Baltic Sea. This devastating attack led to the tragic loss of an estimated 9,600 lives, including more than 5,000 children.
Vicksburg is a spot on the map where they legalized gambling. They have antebellum houses there that have cannon shot still in the floor boards from Grant's seige.
Wow. I was not familiar with some of these. And they all were historically significant. How did I get through so much history without learning about these events? Makes me wonder.
History frightens me since I discover so many stories about men and women and children dying through no fault of their own. Overwhelmed. When courage and intelligence the right tools, all of it and still nothing is enough and you die. Courage is not enough.
The sad truth is that now there are people who want the descendants of those soldiers to pay reparations to the people they died, trying to save, or at least the descendants thereof. People need to understand history to truly understand how great this country has been, even with all of its mistakes.
@15.51 you misstated the Birkenhead had AIR tight - but was incorrect - they were WATER tight compartments What is strange is that I know of all these events.

Dear Mr. History Guy: Here are two subjects you might find worth working to promote your The History Guy channel, if you can find anything out: Where did marriage vows of these days come from, or how did marriage vows evolve? There are no "marriage vows" in the Holy Bible, or marriages at all; people are just married already in the Holy Bible, no ceremony, no pomp, no fanfare, just married ta-dah. What happened between Patent and first-use product of the internal combustion engine? Apply "history" from invention to the first useful product of the Otto-cycle engine.
History Guy could you please do a story on the USS Missouri crossing the Artic Circle in November of 1946. Northern Domain of the Polar Bear, so many different stories and mystery surrounds this action ordered by President Trumann, some say it was to check on the Russians and I even heard they checked on UFO? What is the true story. Thanks and God Bless.
Hey guy, I too love history. You mentioned some vessel called the Titanic,, yes, I do believe I’ve heard the name before, it sounds familiar! 0:36 I know very little about steam boilers but in the case of the Sultana, it seems suspicious that 3 boilers would explode at the same time unless rapidly subjected to very cold water…even then…3 simultaneously?!? Great channel H.G. I can certainly understand that Lincoln’s assassination would overshadow all other news at the time.
Love ya bra...but where's the excitement? So maintained and polished, I miss the exuberance. But still and all your work is the best on the net. Thank you!
Still a disaster in American history. Its destination was New York, many of its passengers American and many more coming to live in America. Some of America’s most prominent citizens were among those who perished.
7:51 I am moved by this first story. I am guessing it was from an early broadcast as your hair style had changed. I like the more distant spacing [ your closeness to the camera] in the later /more recent episodes. Have not yet remembered to try an listen to the podcasts, I always seem busy ,when they come out. Shivering black bell and thumbs up.
The titanic was not a United States ship, so I don’t see how the titanic could even be closely associated with a United States maritime disaster. I could be wrong I do not have a degree in history perhaps history guy can help us out here I appreciate it. Thank you very much.
The Titanic was headed to New York, which is, obviously, in the United States. I don't see how the ship's destination cannot be closely associated with the disaster. A great many of the passengers on the Titanic were American. Some very prominent Americans- John Jacob Astor IV, Benjamin Guggenheim, Isidor Strauss, among others- were among those lost. A great many more passengers on the Titanic were on their way to America with the intent of becoming Americans.
The Titanic although registered in Liverpool England, was owned by the White Star Line; and that shipping line was a part of the giant shipping conglomerate, the International Mercantile Marine which was entirely owned by American, John Pierpont Morgan.
Considering we to this day don’t know the cause of the Sultana explosion, I would say that no one was held responsible is a good thing. It is, or should be, innocent until proven guilty.
That works out more regularly when a grand jury and a jury participate. Unmitigated sequential incremental catastrophe. E pluibus unum. Mea culpa. God help us all, and hurry please. Thank you!
I also believe one of the reasons in 1940 the community broke up was because of World War 2 . I lived in a community in New Jersey called long valley but prior to the end of the 1930s it was named German Valley. The name was changed because there was a Hitler youth camp there and so you can imagine. Also I wonder if those poor souls on that ill faded vessel were not victims of sabotage. Just saying.
Thank you for all these long form videos, I work overnights and I pop in an ear bud and listen to these. Thanks for keeping me sane!

Very well presented. One thing that makes these types of tragedies so sad is knowing that if one or 2 happenstances had occured differently, the tragedies would have been avoided.
Another Maritime Disaster you might consider adding to your list is the loss of the steamer Eastland on the Chicago River in 1915.
I’ve seen that video. I don’t think it’s the History Guy’s though. It’s like an hour long.
Part-time Explorer did an excellent video on the Eastland. As a born Chicagoan, I’ve seen numerous videos about it and this is one of the best.
I want to take the time to thank you, The History Guy for your documentary on the Sultana. Nobody could have put it better. I salute you and our military for all you do and all you've done. God Bless you.

Regarding the Sultana, we combat veterans are still treated this way to this day.

I remember reading this in highschool. I read the part about the soldiers that slept by the boiler for warmth and thought what a horrible way to go.
I remember❤ I will always remember,, this absolute tragedy!!
Wow. I was not familiar with some of these. And they all were historically significant. How did I get through so much history without learning about these events? Makes me wonder.
For years after the sinking of the Birkenhead, having women & children evacuate a ship before the men was referred to as the "Birkenhead drill."
Finally a compilation
History frightens me since I discover so many stories about men and women and children dying through no fault of their own. Overwhelmed. When courage and intelligence the right tools, all of it and still nothing is enough and you die. Courage is not enough.
