Not for the fainthearted ... You wouldn't get me up there on dry land, with a ladder, safety ropes and a stunt double to actually do the climbing ....lol
I thought my heart would break at some of these beautiful old photos The mass burial at sea in particular Thankyou for the chance to see them Jenny Guernsey 🇬🇬 ♥ ❤
The makeshift hospital in Nam hit home for me. Even though I was stationed at Chu Lai 68-69 1st MAW, I was very thankful that I wasn’t out in the boonies and thought a lot about what was going on outside our base.
Thank you for your service Sir, and Welcome Home. ( my father was in Vietnam as well..) he told me all the horror stories and how vets weren't welcomed home like they are now.
I felt that too. Actually many of these photos although sad are historically important. I found myself wanting to leave a comment on many of them. Thanks to whoever produced this video.
I agree, and as a Marine Corps Veteran myself who was stationed on Okinawa for two years, I remember this story, among countless others, Rest Easy Warriors 🇺🇸 Semper Fi
The makeshift Hospital in Vietnam shook me for some reason. There's a lot to ponder through a single photo. The suffering, desperation, and ability to adjust to different situations is palpable.
Apparently there weren't too many safety concerns back in the day.😬 The man strapped to the chair: ⚡️ Awesome collection of never before seen pics. Sad for all that suffered. We have a long way to go as civilized humans.
Yes the Sea Burial makes you realise how hard it must have been for the loved ones who would never have a place to mourn. The sacrifice made by some so that we could be here today to see these pictures. On a lighter note however. Tolkien was a very lucky man.
Charlie Chaplin is one of my idols, the kid one of my fav movies ... and yet I didn't even know that Coogan was Fester either !!! Not sure how they slipped that one passed us ...lol
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos It's a piece of cinema lore known by many older folk. ... Probably a lot of younger people who don't even know of either character played by Jackie Coogan.
4:08- I was 4 yrs old and 5 days after this guy was shot in the helmet we watched the moon landing! Small world. ADDENDUM: I now live in an apartment that overlooks the back yard of the house I lived in on that day.
Anybody knows what the purpose of the ''giant Studebaker'' was?? The ''sea burial'' was hard to watch. A lot of your photos (unfortunately) remind us of the madness of Man. Thank you and have a nice day.
The giant Studebaker, as is often the case with these sort of things, was a publicity stunt for promo and advertising.... Here's some more of the backstory "The giant Studebaker was built by a group of sixty employees at the Studebaker Experimental Body Department located in South Bend, Indiana. The massive size Studebaker took over three months to build and was generated by Mr. Paul Auman and his creative craftsmen design team. The total length of the car was 41 feet long with a wheelbase of 325 inches. It was 13 ½ feet high, 15 feet wide, and weight 5 ½ tons. The steering wheel was 44 inches in diameter and the oval shaped headlights were 33 ½ inches of size. The wire wheels were the most abundant to make for each one was 6 feet and 8 inches in diameter, weighing 600lbs each. The Firestone Tire Company supplied the enormous tires for the project and replicated the original Studebaker tires. The massive Studebaker model was built of wood and was shaped and assembled on the test track of the Indiana Proving Grounds. The model was painted in two shades of green, which at the time, was a popular color for Studebaker models. To advertise the giant Studebaker model, a nine minute film was created. The film clip was used as a filler for the movie Wild Flowers directed by Mr. Alf Goulding. The film was also used for publicity reasons and had played extensively in RKO theaters coast to coast for movie goers in which many consumers thoroughly enjoyed generating a great deal of publicity. The Daily Review and Motion Pictures stated, “One of the cleverest, if not the best, advertising reel we have ever seen is the one produced on behalf of the Studebaker automobile. It brings in the Studebaker Champions, so well-known to radio audiences and they used a giant motor car as the stage for their entrainment”. The Studebaker Company also used the model for other advertising promotions and tourist attractions. Many groups of dealers and salesmen posed for photographs by the large size Studebaker for added publicity shots."
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos Oh! thank you very for taking the time🙂. That was thorough... The ''advertising'' thing never occurred to me as an explanation. My father had bought a Studebaker in the early '60s, not the same model of course, but so much more ''modern'' than the Pontiac of the '50s we'd had previously :-) Thank you again
only if the person was unable to be removed to shore and they were unable to store the body, thanks to refrigeration and air transport it’s unnecessary
I do try very hard not to sensationalize or just go for clicks. My subscriber count and views perhaps reflects that. But, it's a price i'm willing to pay.
"Reefing the mainsail". Can you imagine having to do that during a typhoon? Incredible!!!

No steds back then with the strong men. Just pure hard work!

That one got me too... unimaginable.

Only 19 yrs old that war in the Pacific had such a huge loss of life and all for what The allies had more or less won the war by then anyway

@lifelonglearner56 young people today don't know shit, unless they see it on social media. Sad how that has ruined the american society.
Coogan also starred with John Wayne in Cahill U.S. Marshal.
@@palerider964Yes, I'm shocked by how ignorant young people are these days - they know NOTHING about the past, their own history or culture...
Like others, this is a fascinating collection of photos. Wonderful presentation of days gone by.
Many thanks
Brilliant historic pics ,brilliant

Thank you. Great video
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, NHL goalie Terry Sawchuk, a true GLADIATOR..
They don’t build them like that anymore 💪🏻
Terry also played for the Detroit Red wing's
1:27 *Bottom and top left corner kids look mad…I bet they wanted to be the ones on top “pretending to swim” instead of being the “water”* 😂
Makes me wonder what will be considered "historical photos" from here in 2023 in, oh, another 150 years or so....
Great collection of photos.
Sadly it'll likely be photos of environmental pollution and mass shootings.
War sucks.
Terry Sawchuk spent most of his hockey career, over 13 years, with the Detroit Red Wings and only 3 with Toronto!
OSHA would have loved that first pic and the second as well!
OSHA would probably have a problem with at least 50% of the photos I find David ...lol
thry have no say in sailing
👍💞👏👏👏🙏🤗♥️
I immediately fell in love with Edith!
Lot of Health and Safety issues here . How did these guys live long enough to reproduce ?
Natural selection ... the toughest survive and reproduce.
They were tough.
Many of them didn’t of course
Playing chess on the subway. It looks so elegant.
Did you notice how clean it was in the car? Back when people were more civilized.
Gripping ❤
Glad you enjoyed it … thanks for watching 🤗
So sad the mass burial at sea a beautifull collection
Terry Sawchuk, was a Bad Dude. Corn Pop would have evacuated his corn.
Breathtaking......
I wonder what he did with that helmet ? 4:13 Take it home, put it in the den on display ?
We are weak . Good luck.
I wonder if the U.S. Navy still does that?
I believe they do a version of it ... but not the same.
only if the person was unable to be removed to shore and they were unable to store the body, thanks to refrigeration and air transport it’s unnecessary
That poor NHL goalie look's like johnny from arsenic and old lace, why would you continue in that sport if that was happening to you?.
They were built tougher back then … it was just the norm.
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos For sure, I'm pretty sure even looking at some of these photo's sends this generation to their little safe space for a cry.
