it's so pretty seeing nature reclaim the ship in the summer like that. Whatever happens to it doesn't erase the history or make it any less important. The information can still be in a museum and mean something. I'd rather that, preserve the impactful research done, and only that, than restore the ship itself...it was built as some rich dude's yacht and later used as a weapon. Seeing it peaceful filled with greenery is the ideal outcome. People should spend that money housing and feeding others who need it when so many are struggling during this economic and housing crisis. Not on restoring some long lost ghost ship. it'd be a waste. we can preserve history without clinging so hard onto the tangible things that come with it. everything is lost to time eventually, and seeing it happen gradually is kinda beautiful tbh.

Just an FYI the pronunciation is BATE-EE (Beatty)

does anyone might have an idea what whistle the eastland had?

I honestly can’t believe this story and the drastic difference to other ship sinking in that era. Wonder what ever happened to all those men who selfishly killed off the women and children of that vessel for themselves. Did conscious ever get them and put a pistol to themselves? Or truly psychopathic and never thought of it again.

Good, Thx

I am Canadian from southwestern Ontario enjoy your content. Two boats that might interest you are the Boblo Boats and would make a interesting review from your channel. The Amusement Park was Canadian Boblo Island with a long history which closed in early 1990s.I have seen videos and News coverage from Detroit. The River Boats the SS Ste .Claire and the Columbia from Detroit. THere is old commercials and think work continues on the Ste Claire after a fire in 2018. Be a nice trip for you and your wife.I remember the Park but always wanted to take the boat ride from Detroit.

You didn't mention Squirts The Clown fighting the fire with just a seltzer water dispenser and a trick flower.

If you guys keep hiking around in the heat you ought to be wearing white to reflect the sunlight.

As a Nova Scotian it’s wonderful that you are showing some of the province’s history. It’s sad that so much of it has been lost.

I’m trying to go here and explore for a week in July.

Great story telling and really appreciate the visuals

Disgusting that not a single woman was rescued and that the cowardly captain was offering money to get over there and rescue them first. What happened to women and children first?

This is the best S.S. United States video I've ever seen.

On the Battleship New Jersey channel, they talk about the potential for hull thinning where the water's surface rubs the hull. Is that just a saltwater / brackish water issue, or do the museum ships of the Great Lakes have to be mindful of such damage too?

Great video very informal loved it

Well told story. You have a talent for mixing the technical with the tragic with the individual dramas taking place within chaos and confusion. Focusing on Sparkle having a hoof wedged really grabbed my heart and I was glad the poor horse survived. I can't imagine the combination of noises from people, machines, and large frightened animals.

This was very well done. I had heard some of the stories before, but this was more in-depth.

Did the same in NL when small settlements were moved closer inland

Why did yall wear the same shirt

I wished one of these youtubers that goes out there to visit this thing would actually get a fundraiser to restore the vessel. I'd pitch in a little toward that goal.

As I was watching this documentary I was looking at this wharf. It's a 30 second walk from my house

Tom your channel keeps getting better and better. Where were you when I was in school watching film strips? Wait, your grandparents hadn't been born yet back then. All the best to your family.

Excellent documentary of a horrific incident. Unfortunately incompetence is still with us as is corruption. 🐻

What a total shame this accident could of been prevented. And I have seen some documentary’s about train wrecks and this is one of the best ones I’ve been when it comes to reconfiguration and details and interviews

The Chinese built a massive fleet of ships with many ships much larger this.

Fascinating! My husband and I made many business trip runs from North Lake Tahoe to Las Vegas; we always passed through Tonopah. I always looked at the The Mizpah building wondering what it was like inside; I now regret not stopping and taking a tour of this grand old hotel. Perhaps it is because the exterior of the Mizpah is quite misleading; you would never guess the grandeur of the interior. Should we ever pass through Tonopah again, we will definitely stay at least one night. Thank you for this very interesting feature of "The Mizpah". Just a note: the name of the hotel always amused me; I did comment to my husband that the name must be Hebrew/Jewish in origin, but I also added that the name's origin was probably just coincidental. How right I was! I've always been interested in old buildings, their history and legends (my father was an architect - go figure 😊). Thank you, this was very interesting and informative. "The Mizpah".

A good story but how does anyone really know

Thanks!

Enjoy your content watching in KW region of Ontario. As a kid walked the tracks to the old Brick yards in Chatham along the river.🇨🇦

Cant imagine any other way for the engineers to have survived other than leaping from the trains before they collided. Wonder if this was ever established??

Omg, the way these stories are told (all your video) it's easier to be interested. I loved the fact that you and your wife dress like you were in the same eras of those times and the small prank. It's classic. ❤🙏🏻 And ur skeptic friend classic lol

Amazing well made and informative! I don't even care for naval history, but your videos are so fascinating and very interesting to watch

18:21 Did I just hear him say they installed air conditioning while they were doing the modifications ? I had no idea ! I didn't think air conditioning was even invented until the 1950s

growing up in Tunnel Park Nevada in the 80s was that fun

The John Bull is the oldest operable steam locomotive in the US if not the world. The "ROCKET" in the British Railways Museum is a reproduction and there is at least one that is operable. There is an operable reproduction of Trevithick's 1803 PENNYDAREN locomotive in Great Britain.

Pretty funny and sad that the fire was completely preventable, then completely able to be put out. However powers that be decide that its not important enough lmao.

I love these kinda videos ,historical.

Holy... S..t

It is a ship. Not "she". It is not alive. Use fucking grammar

I’m completely floored after watching this amazing video! The incredible animations combined with the witness statements make this tragedy very real!

An aunt and uncle live near here. Went once in the early 90s.

It should be clarified that nobody died in the mine itself. All those who died were buried by the landslide. Someone mentioned that he or she had two family members entombed in the mine. That’s not correct.

Actually, I was in Wyoming several years ago for a photography workshop and can confirm that at least a dozen or so people reside there. As many as twenty, perhaps.

I stumbled upon your channel by accident, and I love the way you are telling us interesting stories, they are so well and acuurately researched, I am sure you take a lot of time to present us such a great video, thank you Tom!!!

Shipping prior to titanic was something else. Not enough lifeboat for everyone? What did they expect to ever occur if they even needed to use those life boats.

Wouldve thought 42 yr. engnr. would know track layout like back his hand and were all these curves are! 🤔

thats one hell of a fucked up story... my god.

Absolutely love your documentaries! Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been watching you for 4 years now 😊
