Probably 20 years when I was living in cape may the twin capes was the best ferry you could get on. The nicest inside and out.
So sad to see a ship die brings a tear to your eye
It is amazing that this video came up on my feed. I just went on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry YESTERDAY!
I had the amazing opportunity to have been on her round trip (2 times). Both in terrible weather so windy lightning everywhere. But it was felt solid. She was just a joy to be on.
I rode every ferry on this fleet on my lifetime, the 2 converted big ones imcluded. My first ferry ride was on the Cape May. I last rode Twin Capes in 2010.
Do they still got any ferry boats at all there?

Took the Twin Capes many times over the years..while living in southern Delaware and again on vacation. I remember in '77 when they closed down the ferry because of the ice floes coming down the Delaware. For those asking WHY THEY DID THIS and a million other questions, scroll through the comments before asking questions that make you look dumb.
taken that ride twice,both times in the evening with a full moon.....just wonderful

Yes , it brought a tear to my eyes to think that majestic vessel who served for so very long , carried many generations across the sea , and in her final service she went down with grace as she welcomed the sea on board to be her final and permanent grateful passenger . May she become a fine home and location of security for the oceans creatures , and they won't even need a ticket !
Well said, what the hell

Does anyone else feel that, after her lengthy service of transporting vehicles, she should have had a few cars on board and strapped into place to keep her feeling useful in her afterlife?
She will be a treasure in the water in the future. Future divers to explore.
Been on this. When it was first renovated. Crazy.
Fascinating. Thx.
This was my favorite ship of the fleet. So sad
Same im Crying right now
Mine too. She will be missed. It's so nice to know I wasn't alone in admiring what some might call "just a ferry."
I had no idea while watching this that I 've actually been on board this vessel. Never read the headline.
ClawBoss Why did they sink it
Being repurposed so it's a good thing, but I do understand your feelings.
I ride that ferry all the time when I go from NC to Wildwood NJ 💔🤞🏻
This is crazy. I was on one of these last summer.
Yeah that’s what I’m advocating for. That bridge is really nice. It would be good for both sides of the Delaware.

In fact, the first five boats, that were replaced by this one and the other two in 74 came from the ferry that was replaced by the CBBT.
I worked on the Cape May Lewes ferry on the Twin capes which i got to pilot her and got to see the engine room Capt McCann was a good skipper and i loved the crew and my Co workers i was in food service department how sad is that and I am mad that was my favorite ship
David Diano oh my gosh it's been several years since I've been down to the cape but I did not know that this happened. So sad
BigMay Racing neither did i until i saw it on you tube. That and the cape may were the first two ferries to be rebuilt and the twin capes looked like a cruise ship almost it was a waste of money if they had gone and did that . They said it was too top heavy for the sever thunderstorms and high winds
David Diano this is a really silly question but you wouldn't happen to be a big guy with brown hair and a mustache would you? There was a guy named Dave that worked on these boats when I was in my early twenties and he was really cool. I actually think I have a picture of him somewhere with me and my friend because he was so nice.
BigMay Racing with glasses yes that was me
she'll live on instead of being cut up.
Welcome aboard

My wife and I sailed across Delaware Bay from Lewes to Cape May on a beautiful warm day on October 20, 2014. Our Ferry was The Cape Henlopen. We were driving up to Philadelphia after visiting my wife's cousin in Northern Virginia. I didn't want to drive up on the busy freeway so, while at home in Alaska, I looked for alternative ways to go and found out about the ferry and I made reservations from home. What a pleasant trip once we got off of I-95 and headed towards Annapolis on US 50. I love large bridges and driving across the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial Bridge crossing Chesapeake Bay east of Annapolis was amazing. The drive through the more rural parts of Maryland and Delaware was so beautiful. Landing at Cape May and driving up New Jersey on the Garden State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway for the first time was very interesting. Driving across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge was also another treat.
Ccc
sorry
The only time Ive ever gotten seasick was on a ferry. It was rough and that damn thing was top heavy and just rolled from side to side like she was gonna capsize. It was a ferry to Marthas Vineyard. As many of these that sink sorta makes me wonder if these things are all that safe.
I’m gonna miss riding on that ship I’ve been on it countless times in my life

Glad u werr not on board that day

From what I’ve read, divers said it landed upright. Cool video. Ty for sharing
Katherine Sutherlund would love to see photos of it!
Wildwood Video Archive - wish I could as well. Would be cool.
I'm late but as a former east coast girl who has ridden this ferry many times, I also throw in gratitude for this video.
Beautiful.
Wow Joey I just noticed the views on this. 7.5 million! Amazing!
“Come back” Come back” Come back” My favorite ferry in the fleet ❤ I lived in Maryland most of my life and my dad was from South Philly, but he was working in Maryland when he met my mom and they stayed in Maryland… So many Jersey Shore summers growing up..Forget Ocean City Maryland. It was always Wildwood New Jersey, well, Atlantic City until the casinos came, so many ferry rides, I used to love when my dad would race to get to the ferry to make it by a certain time… in all honesty that was a big part of the trip.. just driving through Delaware, the back way ..going through so many little towns, to get to the ferry in Lewis DE ❤❤❤
P.S, I don’t actually hate Ocean City Maryland. It’s a cool place to go to once in a while. I’ll just take the Jersey shore any day.. Now I live in North Carolina, I’m all about OBX. My last visit to Wildwood was 2017. I hope to get back there one day before I go onto the next life..the next adventure.You rock Joey! Great first name, haha even though I go by my middle name now, Rocky
Omg I remember 2 years ago going to the ferry dock and watching this same ferry dock ☹️ memories
yea, this was a great ship!

she will be missed rip twin capes
wow fantastic video
I worked at the ferry when that ship came up from Norfolk. I feel old.
RIP boat! ⛵

Many happy memories on that ferry with family and friends over the years.
Oh this is your boat that sinking

J’adore la video te le meilleur de UA-cam
My wife and I took my father on the ferry boat back in the 90's on Father's Day. This may have been the boat we rode. We were foot passengers.
Amazing video
Muy buen video!
I've taken that ferry to my grandparents place many times for 20 years. Now they are feet feet under and the ship is 6 leagues under. Damn.
So sad and thank you for sharing this with us
I took the ferry to see my now husband for Liberty weekend and graduation in the summer of 1987. I loved the ferry
Amazing
It sure looks like some demo folks messed up, although it may settle correctly as planned, sitting on the bottom just like it floated on the water; however the way it went down seems it will end up on one of its sides, or even upside down.
let's hope not haha
On its side supposedly
why did the saddest day in my life have to come back up. D.R.B.A 99-2003

Think how hammered you would get if you watched a bunch of these videos and took a drink every time someone said "There she goes!"
Nice video👍👍👍
By far the nicest ferry in the fleet. I always enjoyed crossing on the Twin Capes. Sad ending to a beautiful ship. She will be missed .
Your telling me they decided to sink the nicest one in the fleet?

I was one a cape may ferry a few days ago
Very nice
So sad to see. My first crossing on the ferry was on the Twin Capes. She will be missed from the fleet.
same
It's a strange feeling to watch a ship you've been on sink below the waves.
Exactly, one of my earliest memories was in the ballroom!!
I wonder why the boat went Underwater
Yes, it is
Same!!
Yes, this is you may wrong and lote may endute...
That's crazy...I just saw the update on the page about it
it was interesting to watch it go down
See that helpless poor thing nothing can do,just staying calm when the sea is voraciously engulfing it 😔
It’s amazing how fast the ocean can claim anything
completely agree. This big ship went down without a fight
Nothing is more powerful than the forces of nature.
It’s not amazing its terrifying lmao😂

Sooo coool!!!!!!

Real quick, the memory I'll share was that my wife (to be) and I used the ferry to visit my parents in Cape May. On one trip, we were idle chatting in the car and I mentioned something about having 10 kids. She sat up and said that she had to go jump overboard. 20+ years later she, and the 2 kids, are still around. Good times I still appreciate to this day.
underwater footage would have been so dope !
Wow I just filmed this boat maybe a few months before they sunk it. wow thats crazy..
That was a perfectly good car ferry, some people don't even have a car ferry. They could have gave me that ferry! Senseless!
Jay Wade
uh j I
I worked on that vessel. She was lovely.
Traveled on Twin Capes many times, supposed they didn't pull the ferrys logo from her stack and use it as a plaque
How did they sink it? I assume it was some sort of controlled detonation. Also, where exactly is this located? I’m assuming it will become a popular dive spot if it’s in a reasonable depth of water.
HOLES WERE CUT IN THE SIDES OF IT WHEN THEY GOT HER WHERE THEY WANTED HER.
Hello, your video is very impressive, I come from a Vietnamese village❤❤❤❤
This is heartbreaking. I can't watch
EK Blackwell Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Senate the wise?
How? They sunk it and n purpose for reefs
EK Blackwell I agree! So many great trips across the Delaware on this boat... It makes my heart sink
play this in the background to add more drama:

This feels like a funeral. Second shop that I have been on that sank. (First was the Queen of the North in Northern BC)
What I had been told at the time: Neither the Cape May nor Twin Capes had greater car capacity (same original car deck). But required more staff to ooperatre becauyse of the additional bar etc. So costed more to run but didn't bring more passengers.
Also, it was top heavy and harder to manoeuver in rough windy weather. (and this might explain how it sank).
CMLF had sold off the Cape May (I think it was turned into a barge or some other unglorified use). But couldn't find a buyer for the Twin Capes.
But still sad to see this go that way.
I know I was on it in 2010 and 2012. And likely as a kid when my parents brought us down to Bethany Beach. (but back then, it woudln't have had the extended upper decks.)_

Wasn't the twin capes the newest of the fleet??
I used to ride the ferry a lot and would always get excited when I would get on the twin capes because it was the newest ship of the fleet
Cape May is a Wind farm support ship.
BigMay Racing
No, Cape Henlopen is 6 years newer.
That ship went down fast!
May she rest in piece
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you, go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you, go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold you
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on
I understand doing this with single hull tankers and junky vessels but this one looked like it was in pretty good shape WHYYYY
This was a rennovated one, they couldn't afford it anymore.
Lol I like how it says "Welcome Aboard" right above the corridor where the water is coming aboard
haha is quite true!
That's cool
I took one of the ferry boats from Cape May to Lewes back in 1991 on vacation. Not sure if it was this one? Looks like it. It was pretty cool, first and only time I have taken a car on a ferry. We don't have many of these in the Midwest. Sad to see it go!
We got ferries in the midwest, to go across the Miss and MO rivers.. but it only takes a few minutes, not much of a ride..
Welcome aboard.... Sea!
Wow hope everyone was alright
BUILT AT TODD SHIPYARD HOUSTON TEXAS. CHRISTENED AND, PUT INTO SERVICE TUESDAY MAY 20,1975. THE WORST MISTAKE WAS TRYING TO MAKE A CRUISE SHIP OUT OF IT. AFTER CONVERSION IT WAS TOP HEAVY AND, COULDN'T BE USED IN ROUGH WEATHER.
I use to work on a dive team at an underwater park in Edmonds WA. We sank many boats to build marine ecosystems and dive attractions. This boat no doubt ended up on its side. This could have been prevented if whoever managed this would have placed ballast at the keel, preferably a little heavy at the bow. I have never been on this boat but, I would think shaft alley would also have been a good place to ballast as well. Oh, well, on the side is just as good. Fish dont care....
Camano man Tomorrow’s weather for 40823 Weather for 408 to 3 tomorroweather for 40830
I too have been involved in a few sinkings. What I see is the bow was light, the forward voids and tanks could have been flooded prior to pulling the plug. Also they could have placed some flooding holes in the car deck aft at the transom. And some air vents at the forward end. Rolling over is a classic case of water over air. Venting for both water and air movement through the ship is essential. Only one vessel I was involved with rolled on its side and none took anywhere as long as this one to sink. Ours generally went down in 3-4 minutes from "bang to bottom". (5 destroyers about 365 ft, one liberty type freighter 400ft, and a small freighter 176ft. I assisted in 3 other vessels. A trawler and two more destroyers.
Dave Roberts- Excellent suggestions, I can only surmise that the salvage company hired to do this job has limited experience sinking a ship, they more than likely spend their time raising vessels, that's understandable.
ua-cam.com/video/JsSnsCFRAGA/v-deo.html
Here's another sinking I found which went a little better although I would have wanted a four-point anchoring and again it went down astern (power plant without any counterweight forward) All the stuff I was involved with was lead by a very skilled Marine Engineer, it was always enlightening to watch him work.
Ship impacted the ocean floor on the port side.
Maybe it HAD TO GO ON ITS SIDE.
Water first entered through the "welcome aboard" gate !!!
Yes , it brought a tear to my eyes to think that majestic vessel who served for so very long , carried many generations across the sea , and in her final service she went down with grace as she welcomed the sea on board to be her final and permanent grateful passenger . May she become a fine home and location of security for the oceans creatures , and they won't even need a ticket !
THATS AMEZING SINKING
every sinking boat reminds me the nightmare of Taitanic!
I never rode on this ship (I rarely get to Cape May), but for some reason I feel sad watching it go down. I guess thinking of all of the people who have traveled on her over the years. I guess now she will become a new home to sea life.

My Mom and Dad live right there in North Cape May. We take the Ferry every time we're down there just for the ride. How many torpedo's did it take to sink her?.😉
.Did the captain go down with his ship?... great footage guys...Ty for sharing
It was empty when it went down
Do all ship never Made their Destination?
An underwater camera showing the decent downward would have been great. Did they sink it shallow enough to be an artificial reef?
It I crazy to think that I had been of that ferry before it sunk
Vah video kamal ka

Una pregunta que hicieron con ese barco? Lo sacaron o lo dejaron ahí nomás ?

I have lived in Cape May my whole life. Glad to see them finally remove some junk. But logic would tell you to scrap the metal to get back some money, but here in Jersey logic doesn't exist. We rather sink stuff and pollute rather then to recycle the metal to build something new in the community.
sure there will be some pollution however it will also become a sort of artificial reef, stuff will grow upon it
Masz rację ,aż dziwi ,że spece od ekologii nie protestują, maszynownia stosuje smary to czysta chemia trucizny tablicy mendelejewa jakie to dla ryb z metalami ciężkimi, które człowiek zeżre,ha smacznego,Jednak farba też trucizna,wykładzina PCV no i uwalniając się trucizny z paliwa ten statek prom płynął co za hipokryzja ludzkości,że to dobre dla ryb a ryby głosu nie mają. Trzeba za nich głośno wołać O Ludzie pamiętajcie się,przestańcie zaśmiecać Oceany,bo sami w tym smrodzie zginie wasze przyszłe pokolenie,tak jak w smrodach śmieci i gryzoni ginie Neapol we Włoszech.
É interessante e triste ao mesmo tempo ver um vencedor dos mares um dia ser derrotado pelas águas. Saudações da Amazônia brasileira e que Deus abençoe a todos! 👍🙋♂️🇧🇷⛴️🙏
Beautiful life
In 1977...I was on a 64' old Wooden fishing boat . We hit a Mooring Rope in The Kill Van Kull , Newark Nj. next to all the WW II scrap Navy ships. It pulled the bottom hull planks out from our boat. We were sinking. The owner of the boat Captain Bob had dove under the water and cut the rope with a Hacksaw. It took a long time to do it. We stayed afloat by keeping the throttle high and stayed moving so the water wouldn't come inside. The bildge pump worked while he cut the rope and it also just kept up enough to keep from sinking.. I will never forget that. I was scared to death about if we had to jump overboard into the 2nd Most polluted waterway in the world at the time. The Nile River was the # 1 most polluted water in the world. Talk about a "sinking feeling " in your stomach. Other than that, we had a wonderful time on the trip from Hackensack Nj Seaplane Base on the Hackensack River to the Atlantic Ocean just on the outer side of the Varronarrows Bridge near the Atlantic Highlands Nj and Staten Island NY
I wonder if you could stay on board until the last minute to see what it's like on a sinking ship. Or maybe not! :-)
Probably not unless you're a experienced diver. The suction of the sinking will pull you down with it.
78: Thanks for the reply. When the Titanic sank supposedly a drunken baker simply stepped off the stern and swam away as last man off the ship. I always wondered about that suction theory.
g bridgman take a deep breath when I say
I was part of a dive team which sank boats for artificial reefs, quite a few times I had waited until the last second to abandon ship, the difference is a diver typically has a bouncy compensator ( basically an inflatable life vest) and either a dry suit or wet suite which also provides lots of bouncy. I never felt a tug so great to overpower all my equipment. I think it would be different for someone stressed from having to abandon a ship unexpectantly, as well the possibly cold water shock depending on where you are; it's completely dependant on the swimming strength of the person. A strong healthy person could probably swim away from the currents if they are not exceeding 2 knots. (Which is on average what a swimmer can manage to swim against- no more)
Camano: Thanks. Interesting.
Welcome Aboard !
This is sad i mean seeing these big ships sink to the bottom☹😦
again a a big ship is vanished in the infinite blue h20
