Mysterious Lost Ships and Bizarre Disappearances

Video Overview & Insights

For every well documented sinking in the history of seafaring, there are just as many - if not more - whose disappearances remain a mystery. These ships and their crews were doomed to the depths without anyone ever knowing what happened.

when a ship with its passengers went missing does it mean everyone aboard it died and ship sank without no one to tell the stories

— @AyKiz-k9y

From those that vanished without a trace - such as the Danish Kobenhavn or the SS Waratah - to the rumoured sightings of the ghost ships SS Baychimo and MV Joyita, revisit the most infamous ship disappearances that took place in the desolate stretches of the ocean.

Oceanliner Designs explores the design, construction, engineering and operation of history’s greatest vessels– from Titanic to Queen Mary and from the Empress of Ireland to the Lusitania. Join maritime researcher and illustrator Michael Brady as he tells the stories behind some of history's most famous ocean liners and machines!

Never mentioned the Marine Sulfur Queen. She was out of Texas with sulfur and vanished in the Florida straights no souls no wreckage found.

The Waratah was carrying flour. That's another possible source for an explosion. Most people don't know how combustible a cloud of flour actually is.

Love your videos mate, but a ship as you well know does not disappear in thin air only in deep water 🌊

I believe our friend Mike Brady's Dad Mike Brady wrote the evocative and famous song immortalizing Aussie Rules Football "Up There Cazaly' . A great tune I reccommend you give a listen . I had the pleasure of meeting Mike juinior at one of his dad's performances - as I have occasionally done sound for him. Both are ffine Gentlemen.

The US Coast Guard maintains the USCGS Eagle, a tall ship, specifically for training Coast Guard officers to this day.

Per Waratah, a Royal Marines officer on maneuvers near the mouth of the Xera River described looking out to sea and seeing a vessel that matched Waratah's description, laboring in heavy seas. For a moment his view of the ship was obscured by a squall: when it cleared, she was gone. He tried to alert his senior officers, but was not taken seriously. Also worth noting that those waters are dominated by the treacherous Agulhas Current, a powerful tropical current running southeast past Durban towards the Cape of Good Hope and the colder waters there: the Current is a major part of the reason why the Good Hope has claimed so many ships over time.

Dear slightly younger man than me (I'm 65😁) Mr Brady... I envy you sir standing there on the rocks gazing out, the wistful look in your eyes was magnificent and I wish I could stand there and share a quiet moment with you!
Thank you for all the very high quality work you put into these shows!

People should define the difference between a "ghost ship" and a ship that has been abandoned.
An abandoned ship is NOT a ghost ship, a ghost ship is an illusion like the Flying Dutchman.

The Waratah was located in 2009. Her position hasn't been disclosed to stop diving on her, as she's on a ledge.
My theory is she capsized. Her crew reported her as top-heavy on her final trip. If she did capsize, the heat of the boilers coming into contact with the icy water of the South Atlantic would have ruptured her boilers, explaining the blue flash reported on shore. No wreckage had been found as the explosion was contained by the hull.

This channel can only be taken in small doses with how depressing most of its content is but its always fascinating.

@IgnobleKin

The phenomenon of large patches of natural Gas underwater out gassing is fascinating. It seems that gas bubbles can destroy the buoyancy of water, and possibly even effect aircraft immediately over the area. it would explain a lot of Ship and even Aircraft disappearances. I remember a documentary where they proved the right amount of out gassing sunk a small boat, proving the theory. This could expalin a lot of " Bermuda Triangle" disappearances. Maybe a good topic for your channel.

It’s a shame that enthusiast such as yourself and your assistant cannot keep these small bits of wreckage. Now, if you find something historic, by all means, bring the authorities in. But these little bits of history are just gonna sit there and go back to the Earth. Why can’t a collector keep little pieces like this that would otherwise be lost to time? You are privileged to live in an area where such artifacts can be found and you’re not even allowed to keep them.

I'm sure I'll get drilled for this, and I realize you're simply reporting others' words. The moniker that was hung on that land shows man's ignorance. God created nothing in anger. God is love. Ironically, his creation, man is who exudes anger.

Ice can not cut steel, how can it??? no edge made from ice would be shape enough or strong enough to cut thick strong steel, that's just titanic theory, and titanic was sent by u.s navy torpedo from a submarine

26min "skull bone shape of Nordic origin"
watch out for the racial "science" here.
This is not scientific and was heavily employed by racists and eugenicists back then!
Like the Nazis a little later, with their long skull races and short skull races and whatnot.

Strange to hear it here like a casual fact of how to identify people.

@littleloner1159

Obviously the ones that disappear somehow sank but what’s even more bizarre are the ghost ships they used to find decades ago just floating in the vast sea without any crew on board. What happened to the crew why abandon a ship that is still functioning so many questions.

@Nicscavo
@

I would not depart a supposedly sinking vessel until there wasn't enough of it remaining afloat to stand on!

The discovery of abandoned vessels isn't that unusual, from many of which, no trace of the persons on board is ever found!

Had those people remained on board, or fastened their lifeboat, liferaft or escape boat to their main vessel, they would have quickly realised that it wasn't sinking, or in any other way a risk to their survival!

Instead, they apparently cast off from their perfectly seaworthy main vessel and were lost at sea, whilst their main vessel remained afloat and a place of safety on the sea!

Imagine abandoning your only safe haven on the sea, for a tiny, open tender fit only for rowing on calm bodies of water...

Excellent video, Mike. Thank you for sharing. Being from Wyoming, I'm patiently waiting/hoping that you'll do an in-depth video about the Schooner Wyoming. Have a good one. -BT
