All these sightings of The Flying Dutchman, but nobody has ever taken a photo of the most famous ghost ship of all time?
P.S. The Flying Dutchman would be a great name for a professional wrestler.
Its because it appears in a instant, and those who see it, have misfortune or death
What about the S.S. Minnow? In the Sixties, the crew of two, and five passengers, set sail from Hawaii for a two hour cruise, and never returned!
bjmccann1
*three hour tour
Aw, you beat me to it!
@@Grabbagar670
The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the actions of the fearless crew, the minnow would be lost...
The minnow would be lost. ..
Series finally them went back to Hawaii
@@quickhistory8637 i love watching that episode and pointing out the edge of the pool they were floating in when they were captured :) the pool edge is reflected in the water :)
I remember reading a book about the Mary Celeste many years ago. It stated that one, or more, of the barrels of cargo, had leaked and the contents, mixed with the air, had created a foul-smelling gas. The smell had forced the entire crew to temporarily abandon the ship until the gas could dissipate. Something happened, and they couldn't get back aboard, as the ship had still had its sails set for sailing. In essence, the ship left them where they were, and sailed away, to be found later with the hold cleared of the gas. As far as I remember, it was the major theory at the time.
I have another idea, what if the rudder broke or got stuck.
We all know that the flying Dutchman is real,it's just currently at Bikini Bottom
It's funny how Bikini Bottom is real as well
Nah, it's under the command of captain William turner
@@douglewis5701 Aye, that!✌😸
Whooo lives in a ghost ship under tha sea? EDWARD TEACH . . BEARD
@@blxk_child yeah, and irradiated to hell and back.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 wonderful video as always!
One of your best dude. Thanks for uploading!
Excellent video. Thanks Simon & Team :)
I am former U.S. Navy, honorably discharged as Operations Specialist 2nd Class. On a clear February night in the Indian Ocean we tracked the Flying Dutchman
Let me explain:
During an eastward passage across the Indian Ocean in 1994, I was on the midwatch (0000 to 0700). The aft lookout reported a light on the horizon, and moments later we had a weak track on the surface search radar (usually, we had the track before the lookouts could see them). The track grew stronger as the lookout reported the light getting dimmer. A few minutes of tracking revealed that the contact was moving faster than our ship (not surprising, our top speed was 21 knots), and would eventually overtake and collide with us. The Officer of the Deck on watch on the bridge woke the Captain. We tracked the contact until it was lost in the sea return on the radar. The lookouts could see nothing. The Signal-men on watch on the signal bridge could see nothing. We braced for a collision that never came. We watched the scopes and observed the track emerging from the sea return ahead of us. We tracked it out to about 16 nautical miles at which point the port and starboard lookouts reported a light on the horizon. The light grew brighter as the track faded, until it winked out over the horizon.
It was not an aircraft, definitely a surface track. The only submarines in that area would have been Indian Kilo class diesel-electric boats, and they would not have been able to pass us at speed if they were on the surface (if they were submerged, we couldn't track them on radar).
Therefore, I submit that we tracked the Flying Dutchman.
Ffs
I wouldn't be surprised. I misquote Shakespeare, "There are stranger things on earth. Horatio, than we shall ever.know,".✌😸
This one was a fun watch!
My favorite Flying Dutchman "legend" is by the late British author Brian Jacques. He wrote a trilogy on the topic call Castaways of the Flying Dutchman containing the books Castaways of the Flying Dutchman, The Angel's Command, and Voyage of Slaves about a boy and boy and dog who, being pure of heart, were washed overboard but were still cursed with agelessness and wander the world working to rid the world of evil. When they see that infamous ghost ship, evil is near.
I love that! I'm going to read it...
Wait... Brian Jacques? Of Redwall fame?
How in the hell have I never thought to look and see what other books he wrote? That sounds like a really cool concept!
@@tehfiredog Yep. It's a trilogy. You can read in order, but the timeline is part 1 of book 1, book 2, book 3, last two parts of book 1. (Just reading book by book is fine.)
Love how im getting this on my recommended after playing alot of sea of thieves
bro i just finished playing 30 minutes ago and here’s the 1st video i get recommended
Like he said, a sign of bad things to come
"A ship is missing, but we found out why, it's be-"
"Must be aliens!"
"No."
"Bermuda Triangle!"
"No."
"CIA plot!"
"No."
"Lizard Aliens!"
"No."
"Pirates?"
"No."
"Alien pirates...?"
"No."
"Then what? Nazi Moon Base Zombies?"
"The crew accidentally turned off their transponder. It's back on now."
"Oh. Well, it *coulda* been aliens."
You forgot homosexual activities
@@JohnnyV_Val ???
@@huntmastergutentag557 butt pirates
Clearly the transponder being off allowed the aliens to replace the ship and her crew with exact duplicates.
@@AnonEyeMouse Lizard aliens you mean
I did a suggestion like this for Matthew Santoro too lol.
Great work as always Simon and Team
@@ToptenzNettop10 Ha! That's a laugh! More like YOU are in HIS rear-view mirror. Like you guys but that sir was a cheap shot.
I thought, for some reason, that it would be about real ships sailing aimlessly around the seven seas.
You and the rest of the planet
Ship's mysteriously floating around and seeing from time to time, people stay away because they are floating hazzard and Mariners mark their position on a map, so other vessels don't run into them, and then they mysteriously show up thousands of miles somewhere else..
Old 4 or, 5 masted sail vessels, spotted by modern ships from a far, with seamen performing duties and ignoring or not seeing the modern vessel. Or rusted out ships that routinely spotted around the Cape of Hope or Horn, "trying to get around" 1 last time.
I believe that these are the "ghosts ship" stories people would expect when clicking on the video.
Well, we had one of those, off Alaska...
The actual definition of "Ghost Ship," is a floating ship which has been abandoned by the crew.
This only exists to insult your intelligence.
love the ghost vid's!! keep them coming
I love your channel, it is educational and entertaining
Yes. Thx. I'll let them know. I show up and read and don't spend anymore time on the projects, than it takes you to watch the production. My English wit is a must!
Simon your head is always perfectly polished. The head that you talk with. I have to say this after watching your business blaze show. That is the greatest channel.
If aliens are so often responsible for disappearances in boats, imagine how old that explanation will get when space travel becomes a regular thing and ships get lost out there...
Yeah but out of all respect the ocean is astronomically smaller than outer space.
Just sit right back
And you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship
The mate was a mighty sailing man
The skipper brave and sure
Five passengers set sail that day
For a 3 hour tour, a 3 hour tour
The weather started getting rough
The tiny ship was tossed
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost
The ship set ground on the shore of this
Uncharted desert isle
With Gilligaaan
The Skipper too
A millionaire, and his wife
A movie star
The Proffessor and Mary Ann
Here on Gilligan's Isle
So this is the tale of our castaways
They're here for a long long time
They'll have to make the best of things
It's an uphill climb
The first mate and his skipper too
Will do their very best
To make the others comfortable
In the tropic island nest
No phone, no lights, no motor cars
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It's primitive as can be
So join us here each week my friends
You'll sure to get a smile
From 7 stranded castaways
Here on Gilligan's Isle!
WOW! Great stories. To go with them all I needed was a campfire and some marsh mellows. I always wondered about the where the story of The Flying Dutchman came from. The rest I had never heard of. Being a land luber that shouldn't surprise you.
that first picture was one of my favorite desktop wallpaper of all time... 😍
Everybody knows that The Flying Dutchman now haunts Bikini Bottom.
The most plausible reason for the Mary Celeste I heard was built around it's cargo. Though not in the way you think. The key was that the hatch over the cargo was open. One issue they had with that particular cargo was it could be come explosive if spilled. The thought is one of the casks breached and filled the hold with fumes. They popped they hatch and for safety, got in the lifeboat while it aired out. Which would explain the rope that they found trailing behind it. They had played it out so they could reboard after an hour or so. Only rope broke. And since they had left the sails up, they weren't able to catch up.
I heard she carried alcohol...so with an irregular crew use your imagination....
Ghosts ships, exploding pants, piss tax, nasal maggots! Simon, you+your crew always entertain.👍
I'm always fascinated by stories of ghost ships and I didn't know about a couple of the ones mentioned here. There are so many stories that you could do several videos on them. I'd nominate The "Marlborough" which disappeared in 1890 sailing from New Zealand to England and was discovered off the coast of Chile in 1913 with a number of skeletons on board.
The sea is mysterious Great video
Thank you for consistantly educasting me my friend!
I shouldn't take credit! It doesn't take me much longer to produce the video, than you to watch it!😁 1st I insist my British wit cuts through the script!
What you didn't mention about the Ourang Medan, that I've heard from other sources, is that it didn't exist on the books. Meaning the name was possibly fake as no one could find it registered anywhere, backing the claims of transporting something illegal.
Also, your reference to "Eskimo" is considered offensive to the Inuit of Northern Canada and Alaska.
I heard him say Inuit?
He said both.
What a nice video! :-) Nice to see our Flying Dutchman on nr. 1
✡️=💩
If everyone aboard the Lady Lovibond died in the shipwreck, then how can anyone possibly know that the first mate caused the shipwreck on purpose out of jealousy?
I believe it is just people theorizing possibilities; in short just one hypothesis of endless others.
I really liked the presentation of this video. The research was top notch. All your research is top notch, but this one in particular.
Fascinating video🛥🚢⛵
What a fascinating topic to do a video on. More paranormal top tenz please :)
We’ve visited cape hatteras, a little extra exciting because you mentioned a place we’ve been.
finally an interesting video
That's not interesting nor about "ghost ships"
Finding an empty ship IS creepy...until you realize...it probably broke free from a dock during a storm somewhere.
Not creepy anymore.
Except, if that were the case for any of these, the authorities investigating would figure that out pretty quickly. The crew ashore or the company who owned it would be like, "Hey, our ship's missing."
And there would be records and witnesses (port staff like a harbour master, stevedores, merchants) who knew when the vessel departed its last port. Other vessels would have seen it travelling along regular shipping routes.
So that's the heart of the mystery, that a ship left port perfectly fine, fully crewed, and was later found with the crew dead or missing, with the valuable cargo possibly untouched.
Fascinating.
Hella like this one
Hey , you forgot the Black Pearl !
I'm not familiar with that vessel. Was that an old steamer, or a large 4 or 5 Masted sailor? Or is more modern?
@@JohnnyV_Val I was joking. It´s the one from pirates carabian moovie...
@@anderstopansson ohh, duuuhhh! Never seen those Orlando Bloom movies, although I did like him in the Lord of the Rings movies!
It was only a briefly cursed ship, not a full on ghost ship
@@JohnnyV_Val they're johnny Depp movies bloom is just a side character, Johnn Depp is the main actor
The prince of Wales probably spotted the Flying Dutchman after a substantial load of very fine whisky...
What about the LOVE BOAT? I see that thing from time to time.
Check out Ivan Vassili, a russian freighter which supposedly took in an evil entity which drove the crew mad resulting in suicide and murder.
Did anyone else notice almost every entry was “the most famous” in some regard. Lol. Loved the video, but it made me laugh.
Maybe the most famous in their country?
Yeah. Whomever writes the scripts must be writing them in the middle of the night, burning a candle from both ends, and sometimes just completely messing it up for Simon! pfft! Still, mistakes aside, the videos a very informative.
Lisa I was going to say the most famous in the region in that part of the world
13eetle13omber makes sense that the most famous in categories would be in a top 10
Cant Wait for you to make HISTORY CHANNEL! You are the Absolute man. The guy that maybe comes in second to Morgan Freeman, or Mike Row as THE VOICE! YES I WILL SPONSOR!
What about the HMS Resolute??? Such as incredible story!!!
“Prepare to be burdened with the haunting memory of my ghostly ghost pirates!”
“Was that the signal? Okay, sorry, sorry, just...just do it again.”
The last foto regarding OURANG MEDAN is of MV TELAMON lying aground at LANZAROTE, CANARY ISLANDS at least until a year ago. I have a very personal connection to this vessel.
The Velencia had a bunch of gold onboard according to the manifest... (I live in the Seattle area and researched it).
Just wait till the battleship bismarck surfaces.
2000 men and 50.000 tons of steel...
It won't be a very intimidating sight, floating belly up.
Seriously? How can it surface? Bismarck blew HMS HOOD to hell in 1 broadside! 3 rounds killed 1,500+ on 3 survivors. Then the ENTIRE BRITISH NAVY sank it! Or the Germans scuttled the vessel!
They found the Bismarck on the bottom of the ocean a few hundred miles away from where the vessel was reported sunk. So unless the Titanic and other ships surface from the bottom of the ocean... I don't see that happening.
Only 110ish people were saved from the Bismarck and your more likely to find the sunken crew being spotted instead of the Bismarck! Probably 800+ sailors were left in the water in fear of uboats attack
I Was gonna suggest it'll surface top deck first. its battle wounds covered by flesh. and broken steel. it's dead crew now walking skeletons with some having few skin. some with ripped and burnt uniforms. and the entire ship covered in some blood or flesh or seaweed.
@@TheArchangelSeth well, that does sound pretty freaking cool and Metal! I'd like to be on that vengeance ride! Unfortunately, those poor men were probably unaware of the genocide the Nazi's committed a few years later. They might be embarrassed and dry dock.
It'd be an awesome site to see that battle ship RISE! I believe it's still 1 of the largest ever built! Germany lied about it size because of the Treaty of Versailles. Unfortunately or fortunately, battle ships aren't built like that anymore. Cruise missiles and such keep the need for big BIG guns down.
I don't think a full broadside from a Battleship has been fired since the 80s! What a site, feeling and sound! Then 4 or 5 ships at the same time! My lord! Fireworks would never be the same!
But if the Bismarck rose jamming Vogner or Zimmerman (Classical composers) with 1/2 burnt 1/2 bones 1/2 crew blows out of the sea and are pissed off, Id run the other way
If I see a ghost ship that has a live Mariachi Band going.....
No surprise the Prince of Whales saw the Flying Dutchman
You said the ghost ship was the most famous ghost ship, like, 4 or 5 times. So which one is most famous?
Samantha Stuessel I’m going with the Flying Dutchman. Haven’t seen the vid yet. Still waiting for the ads to end🙄
SS Baychimo, It has been at least 13 sightings of her betveen 1931 and 1968. And not only sightings, but several people has boarded her.
@@abnurtharn2927 yea, I like that one. Crazy that people have actually boarded it.
Yes
Someone (a author of a book about this) theorized that the Mary Celeste crew after finding leaking barrels of alcohol in the cargo hold secured a life boat with a rope to the ship and all aboard got into the lifeboat to trail behind the vessel until they felt it safe to reboard. However something happened and the trailing boat became separated from the Mary Celeste and were unable to catch it all perishing leaving the Mary Celeste to sail into legend.
Can you do a top 10 on the Flying Dutchman
If everybody died -who told the story?
The people who found the ships.
also i saw something about the Octavius, that the captain was pointing with his pen at the exact spot were they were, and then the boarding crews ship blow up and they were stranded on the Octavius.
I love coming back to older top tenz episodes and seeing Simon's lack of majestic beard.
Hey simon I love your show and have been a huge fan watching from alaska, but not all alaskan native tribe are "eskimo" and some may not like it. Anyways I loved the paranormal aspect of this video.
the word "Eskimo" depends on where you are and to whom you are referring..."Eskimo" and "Inuit" are not interchangeable.
Exactly.
Especially since "eskimo" is generally considered offensive in Canada _(Inuit_ is used to mean both the Inuit and Yupiak peoples).
Carol A Deering. "The most famous ghost ship". Nay Cheemo "The most amazing" Octavious "Most famous of all ghost ships Lady Lovibond "perhaps the most famous" Mary Celeste "most famous of ghost ships" Flying Dutchman "Nothing more famous than."
So which is it Simon, you named six ships as the most famous.
Should look into the flaming ghost ship of the Northumberland straight, between Prince Edward island and Nova Scotia.
The Bismarck and the kriegsmarine still haunt the seas.
Seriously, i know Bismarck was sunken or scuttled
I actually 'lost' an uncle in the battle of Jutland, and oddly his name was Nelson
Sorry, I'm sure this has been pointed out before but, the radio was turned to the universal distress signal? There is no frequency for a universal distress signal, I mean channel 16 or 64 UHF/VHF channel perhaps but that's a standard channel to have your ship radio set to. The distress signals that are universal, "mayday" or "pan pan" are signals sent, nothing to do with a specific signal channel.
It was Cthulhu that did number 8! Lol
This is going to give Sips nightmares.
Many sailors are superstitious,
I will never sing a song about shipwreck aboard ship.
Unless I am right next to a life boat.
This explains a lot about cruise ships...
Never understand why the Ebony Roslyn is never mentioned. A 60ft long tea clipper that vanished from a trade fleet during a storm. They recovered the ship four days later in calm waters with no crew but the captain's bird and the ship's mascot (a mongrel dog) alive and well. Only the crew were missing. The last entry in the log was not written by the captain, and whilst initially thought to be French it turned out to be gibberish with a few random french and spanish words thrown in. A skeleton crew was assembled from the other four vessels in the fleet and the ship was commanded by an officer from the Betty Clarke, the lead ship of the fleet. The officer began a fresh log, with the dog, bird, old log and captain's possessions along with any diaries and journals belonging to the crew sent over to the Betty Clarke for examination and storage.
Two days into the resumed journey, after the search for overboard crew was abandoned, there was a thin fog. This seems to have spooked the skeleton crew who insisted that strange voices and cannon fire could be heard. They lost sight with the rest of the fleet and both the acting captain and medical officer noted in their logs that the men were panicked and delusional but that the fleet had indeed gone from view. Both men put it down to the late watch having allowed the ship to drift from course.
It is worth pointing out that the other ships in the fleet never reported anything, no shouts of alarm, no cannon fire (the ships had no cannon. Only a few firearms and blades). Also the rest of the fleet's night watch reported that, whilst the fog did obscure a lot of the surrounding waters, they never lost sight of the Ebony Roslyn. Come the morning the skeleton crew abandoned the Ebony Roslyn and refused to return, leading to several men being put in the brig and the officers receiving demotions. Even so, they refused to return. A new crew was assembled and dispatched to the vessel, and it was moved into the centre position in the fleet formation. Each watch was ordered to keep in constant visual contact with a watch member on the Ebony Roslyn, so if anything strange _were_ to happen, the other ships could launch teams to investigate and lend aid.
At this point, the crews of the fleet were stretched thin. Many men were pulling double duties as the first skeleton crew were relieved of duty, a second had been formed and sent over to the ship and additional guards and watch members had been drafted. Scared, tired, four days from the nearest port and in curiously calm waters for the season, the various captains all noted that their crews were close to breaking. Three of the five ships ordered double rations for the crew to raise spirits with extra alcohol rations delivered at the end of the shifts. The two ships that did not were the Ebony Roslyn and the Red Esther.
The rations aboard the Ebony Roslyn were sealed in case they were contaminated in some fashion and the captain of the Red Esther was a teetotal Presbyterian who allowed no alcohol aboard.
The fleet now deviated from their course and made for the closest port to report the situation, get new orders and to offload the crew who had made up the first skeleton crew of the Ebony Roslyn.
The day before they were due to arrive in port, shortly after 3am, the Ebony Roslyn deviated from course and tried to leave formation. The Betty Clarke was forced to evade a collision at the last possible moment, causing several unsuspecting crewmen to be unfooted and to receive minor injuries. The Red Esther attempted to intercede and the Ebony Roslyn actually struck her across her bow, causing moderate damage and several holes below the waterline that needed to be attended with considerable urgency. Armed boarding parties from the other ships were sent aboard the Ebony Roslyn and found only two crew members, both seemingly having died in their sleep with no visible causes. The rest of the crew was missing, though various other clues suggested some conflict had taken place. A hatchet with blood on it had been buried deep into the ceiling of the main hold. Several recently fired guns were left, loose, on he floor of the galley, and all the water barrels had been smashed open. A bloodied shirt and rags were found on a table in the captain's quarters and the words 'never we yet, but this and no' were scratched into the door of the main crew quarters.
A total of fifteen entries had been made into the log, written in the same gibberish as the original log, making no reasonable sense and dated up to five days into the future. Despite the ship having never left the sight of the other fleet vessels and their watches, and with no life boats launched, the crew were missing.
Further more, the original skeleton crew who were either in the brig or confined to quarters were also found to be missing. Having effectively lost a almost a quarter of her original crew, the fleet's captains ordered a full room by room search of each ship. All off duty crew were locked in their quarters under armed guard.
They made it to port without further incident. However, the mystery was not over. The Frigate 'Boundless' had arrived nine days ahead of them, twelve days after they were supposed to have reached their final destination. The Boundless had recovered fourteen members of the Ebony Roslyn's original crew. They had told a tale of startlingly different events. The fleet HAD encountered a storm and been blown apart but had managed to find eachother again in the morning. In addition to the five fleet ships was a pair of ships, a clipper similar to the Ebony Roslyn and a smaller passenger ship who had both taken considerable damage from the storm. The crew of the Red Esther were effecting repairs on the two new vessels and the Ebony Roslyn's crew noticed a light hearted and cheerful attitude aboard the Betty Clarke where several ladies from the passenger ship and their crew had come aboard the Betty Clarke, bring fine food and drink as a means of thanks for their rescue. The crew of the Ebony Roslyn claim nothing was untoward until that evening when loud explosions could be heard from the rear of their vessel. The ship tipped and pitched and barely avoided being capsized. All of the survivors found by the Boundless had been thrown or had jumped overboard, at this point. The ship righted itself but rather than send men boats to pull men from the water, the entire fleet and it's two companion ships sailed off to the north, where as their course was west, northwest.
The crew clung to scraps of debris that had flown clear of the ship as it was thrown around and they lashed larger parts together to keep themselves afloat together. The boundless found these men after two days adrift.
The two stories were wildly at odds but the timeline and testimony of the Boundless' crew backs up the crew of the Ebony Roslyn. What is more, the fleet crew that arrived was in order regarding the listed manifest carried aboard the ships themselves, but the manifest held by the fleet's owners showed that, despite claims of lost crew etc... the crew that arrived in port was a total of nineteen men OVER that of the full fleet's compliment.
Whilst authorities in the port tried to determine the truth of events, most of the crew of the fleet escaped custody or abandoned their ships. The Boundless and another frigate in port were holed, quietly, at night, and the Ebony Roslyn and Red Esther were sailed out of port, though the Red Esther was later found adrift and taking on water not far from shore.
In total, 43 men were missing out of a total fleet compliment of 75 men. Many others did not fit their records, being listed as welsh but having a french accent etc.
The only crew members to be confirmed by their families as actually being who they said they were were a number of the rescued Ebony Roslyn's crew.
Pirates? Spies? Ghosts? Aliens? Alternate Dimensions?
The Nostromo 😜
You have a lovely accent,like Paul McGann...
1:02 ... Brings the concept of 'party cruise' to the next level.
The flying Dutchman sailed from Terneuzen, a small town in the Netherlands ;)
I'm from the US of the republic of Florida off shore you see alot of boats occupied and not you be surprised what you'll see 60 Nautical miles off shore the Debris to sunken vessels
Why do so many people think aliens are to blame for these "ghost ships"? They sound like Buster Baxter from "Arthur" (PBS).
I read a very in depth book about Mary Celeste it was quite brilliant. It had a very believable theory about what happened. I can't remember the authors name tho.
Some people have claimed to have seen the Flying Dutchmen, and it's rumored that if you se it, you'll have very bad luck. But what about the Mary Celeste? No one talks about her, and I'm most curious to know about the fate, the real truth
The SS Valencia: it didnot sink of the coast of Vancouver, British Columbia,(which is city. It sank of the coast of Vancouver Island, which, by the way, does not have Vancouver on it.
Left out a whole sub-genre, that of the Great Lakes of the North America. In particular, the Case Western Reserve.
Ourang Medan proably got caught in a methane burst from the Ocean floor due to sea-quake. The Caribbean Bermuda Triangle ship wrecks and airplane crash landings are likely due to huge methan bursts from the seabed.The sea whips up foam, and the ships lose boyancy and sink. Airplane engines shutdown in high% of methan. People cannot live very long is O2 less than 16%. Melting permafrost could kill local villages in the sameway as methane is released from the soil.
Do ghost ships in movies there's one called the black freighter from death ship this evil ship eats its captain at the end
There is a lot of evidence that the ODAN MURANG story was all made up. Including the fact that the name does not appear on any national register of ships, classification society or at Lloyd's of London.
I've seen many weird things at sea, including St Elmo's fire - the natural phenomena, not the movie - but never a ghost ship.
I've seen a ghost ship in the sense of a ship abandoned and adrift. Twice actually. As for ships of the dead... well, ghosts don't exist outside of the imagination.
The first ship I saw was the Cal'Shto. A small transport ship under civilian contract to the Royal Navy. It was meant to be delivering cleaning supplies and chemicals in the Mediterranean. The crew abandoned it after a gas leak. The captain reported deliberately running her aground to stop her drifting as the cargo was too heavy for the anchor to hold on the sea bed. Somehow the ship broke free and continued adrift and spent weeks missing until we spotted her after being tipped off by fishermen in the Canaries. We sighted her just after dawn and then we recieved a garbled, static filled transmission. Then we heard a series of pops, explosions from below the waterline, and she started sinking rapidly.
I was working security for an insurance adjuster and her team. Two theories held out. The entire thing was an insurance scam by the ship's owners as they had much higher quality insurance whilst under the Royal Navy contract... or, the abandonment was genuine due to the gas leak, but that pirates or scavengers took the ship at high tide and sailed it towards north African waters to be either scrapped or used as bait for an ambush. When our ship, a naval destroyer, turned up... They scuttled the ship, either deliberately or due to panic. When we got on board, it was deserted except for the royal marines.
The other was a cargo ship called the Gato Negra. That was in the Philippines in the aftermath of the Christmas Tsunami in the early 2000's. It had been abandoned due to cargo coming loose and threatening to capsize the ship. After the crew were gone, the cargo mostly fell either off the side or down to the base of the hold. The ship drifted for eight days. We went to evaluate it but local authorities wouldn't let our team on board. I never found out for certain why, but the team suspected that the local authorities were covertly looting cargo left aboard before claiming it was lost to the sea. Still, we won't going to push the subject given they had a military vessel with machine guns and we had a privately hired boat with some fishing rods and a flare pistol.
What about the Kaz II? It has to be the most recent.
You can try to pronounce Medan as "May-done" or "May-Dunne", it's pretty close to that for English speakers.
This was an interesting topic! I knew about the Mary Celeste and The Flying Dutchman, but not the others.
What happened to the 1500 barrels of alcohol from the Mary Celeste?
The fish got drunk.
It was denatured alcohol, pretty much toxic, like Methylated Spirits.
The Mary Celeste was salvaged. The cargo was sold at auction.
Hey i think the video is bugging out or something, it keep hearing “the most famous” on all entries!
I wonder if its my phone bugging out, weird 🤷♀️
It's the aliens 👽
Simon, would you rather be a pirate captain or lead a mutiny?
They still sail the ocean blue, a once saucy ships of beauty
Shoutout for Terror and Erebus! :D
How bout One-eyed Willie's ship Inferno?
the daleks kidnapped all on board the mary celeste!
"Oh my poor Pim"
He says they found #5 the Octavius in 1775, the captain was writing the log in 1762, that means it was adrift 32 years, I don't know if he's using new math or what, but when I subtract 1762 from 1775 I get 13, not 32.
Great Lakes one
in reference to Lady Lovibond...February 13, -1748 was also a "Friday, the 13th"
🤔 I think they question if the SS Orang even existed as no registry by that name was ever found nor nobody bother salvage the ship or found it in the area where it supposedly sank
There's that "are believed to be" again. Some people believe there are fairies living at the end of their gardens. Will that be the next Top 10? You folks usually do a bang up job of choosing topics that are well-research and meaningful, I guess I've been spoiled. This one? Color me underwhelmed.
Now you have me curious if there are ghost buildings.
@Asha so sorry that happened.
Maybe the ghost may be trying to give you a hint as to how to bring your factory back. Not an impossibility.
Or they just like keeping you company
Well, there's been a few buildings that "dissapeared" in Chicago and were "found or re-discovered" San Francisco
Prepare to add an entire new crop of ghosts.
Passenger liners doomed to forever drift in search of a port that will allow the infected to disembark.
Well done Simon for calling her the 'MARY CELESTE' and not the common corruption of 'MARIE CELESTE'...by the way it is also a scientific fact that a woman whistling will cause a storm at sea....
The lost flying dutchman's mine?
