I didn't know that a ship with a concrete hull even existed. Fantastic shots with the drone, shows how huge it is. Thanks for showing us such rare history.
Neither did i before EE found this and so glad for that. Thanks and more to come soon :)
Now you do. They experimented with concrete as a form of armor. They even tried to build Battle Ships out of concrete.
The British had concrete barges that they used to blockade creek and back waters during WWII and the mulberry harbours used on D Day were made of concrete.
Look up the Atlantis, another concrete hull
That was amazing. Who knew that you could make a rock float. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Just my thoughts as well , rock floating :) Thanks Bob :)
I have never seen a huge concrete barge like that before from the 1920's either. It is a rare find. One can totally understand why the Germans would have confiscated it for their own use. Thanks EE and HH for squeezing yourself through that hole and showing us the interior with the tons of rebar. Be careful HH as your phone and camera would not suffice. 😂 The drone shots were amazing. Thank you HH and EE for taking us there. 💕
Yes i personally loved this thing that EE found. Never seen anything like it. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much Girl for your FANTASTIC Support :)
Rainham marshes in Essex inbetween purfleet and rainham there is a cluster of them from ww2 there is about 16 of them
@@jasonrobert3850 thanks for the info.
Now that is a fantastic find! So much tonnage that could handle...it must have been quite a loss when it beached itself! Great explore, HH and EE!❤
Yes they tried everything i have read and nothing could get that off the bank there. Glad we could share that with you Cynthia and we appreciate you FANTASTIC support :)
What a truly fascinating find, once again EE lives up to his name! As somone else has mentioned the Alliies used concrete caissons and they formed part of the Mulberry harbours used land tanks lorries jeeps etc.Loved the spectacular drone shots.👍👍👍
Thanks for the info and EE did so well on this one and i loved it. Thanks so much and more to come soon :)
A ship of concrete my mind is blown I can't even begin to imagine how it floated. What a great find EE! Looking forward to more videos from this trip. Stay safe
There you go JuleyC , we just loved this and thanks so much for your INCREDIBLE Support :)
It's really amazing to see a barge made of concrete and rebar crazy too it still intact after all these years. The drone shots are spectacular.
Just my thoughts too and very glad we could share that with you. Thanks for your FANTASTIC support my friend :)
Amazing, seen them in pictures, heard about them and yet here you are visiting it in the flesh!!! What an extraordinary opportunity for you both.
yes loved that and thanks for being here :)
Such a unique and fascinating construction. Despite the rust and the corrosion of the concrete she still looks quite solid, and will be there for all to see, for many years yet. Truly a real historical survivor of past times. The drone footage was awesome, and really showed of her lines. And hopefully, no one decides to remover her from her resting place, so that more people can admire this amazing piece of History. Thank you for sharing this truly unique find. Cheers to you both! Stay safe!
yes it does look great out there i think. Will probably be there for many more years. Thanks so much :)
Thanks for sharing "Eagle Eyes" discovery. Again, I've learned about another interesting piece of history. Tons of steel can float so why not concrete. It's all about displacement. You guys must live by the motto "Where there's a will, there's a way", because you always come up with alternative methods to access places you explore. Just be careful that the way doesn't lead to your will. You are always mindful of safety for both you & your son, as I've witnessed many times. Thanks again for another insightful episode.
Yes quite a interesting thing that vessel there. We do try to be safe as much as we can out there. Thanks so much :)
Ahoy there, HH and EE ! Cool little shipping broadcast ... very exciting to see ths very big, unusual relic.. amazing drone footage too. Looks like she could easily be there for many years yet. Thankyou Again !
Indeed so and EE Loved it and glad we could share that with you my friend. More to come soon and greetings from us :)
I heard of concrete boats but had never seen one before. You are historical! The drone shots were magical! Never realized how big it was until the drone shots. Thanks for such a special find! Beautiful weather and seas for it also.
We just loved to see this vessel and so glad EE found it and we could share it with you Stephanie :) Thanks from us :)
Fantastic find. Glad you had the drone to do the aerial shots. Gave a fantastic view of the ship and its beautiful surroundings. Definitely finding great sites on this tour.
Yes we agree and there is so much more coming from this great tour. Thanks so much from us :)
GREAT PIECE OF RESEARCH EE. I WOULD NOT HAVE BELEAVED THIS STORY IF YOU TWO HAD NOT FILMED IT. FANTISTIC WORK!...
Appreciated my friend :)
Great find EE. Loved this one, never seen or heard of the use of a concrete ship during WWII. Thank you for the history lesson today. Hope all is well and stay safe out there my friends.
Neither had we so we had to check it out. Glad EE found it. Thanks Allen and more soon :)
This really shows well that building a ferrocement hull well is really important to make it last long, incredible that this is laying here in such good condition really a testament to the build quality potencial of ferrocement, hopefully we one day will see more of these vessels once again
Indeed special it is and very glad we could share that. Thanks.
Another great video HH. Nice Google catch EE. Unless humans do something to the ship it should be there another 100 years. The US did a group of ferrocrete vessels during WWII. Great job, guys, be safe and well.
Yes loved the way he discovered that thing and happy to have shared it with you. More to come soon :)
Well, that was something out of the blue; a concrete ship/boat....lol. I can see how it floated; just think of the "Mulberries" of D-Day,concrete pontoons. This was pretty interesting to see and know. Most(like me)often do not know or look for something like this when it comes to WW History. I do think that bird or birds did not like you guys being there though lol. Thanks for showing something that is so uncommon/rare.
Yes Colleen , very interesting it was and glad we could share that. Special and rare. Thanks from us :)
We have one of these concrete ships, the SS Selma, a WWI oil tanker, scuttled off Galveston, Tx, USA. I have been on board it, very interesting construction! Hard to believe a concrete ship would float! Good on you EE for finding this thing! So interesting that they used this during the war! I applaud you for getting through that hole into the ship! You guys are smart to stay safe and not try to climb things that are not safe! Drone footage was really nice and gave me a great view of this wreck!
cool to know Donald. They are getting rarer and rarer for sure. EE loved to see that and glad we could share it with you. Thanks so much and greetings from us :)
One would indeed think concrete being heavy it would sink however a thing to note is concrete is also porous so it keeps air which helps keep it from sinking. Allies did a similar thing during D-Day with the "phoenix caissons". Quite incredible really. Good stuff HH & EE
Yes very interesting discovery by Eagle Eyes and loved it. Thanks my friend :)
I would've never imagined a concrete board could float. This was a very special surprise. I had never known of a concrete ship existed. Great drone footage. Really enjoyed watching. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯
Me neither and very glad we could share that with you Julie :)
Hi HH & EE,
There was even a concrete French supply ship used for offshore radio in the 1960s.
The drone footage is again beautiful to see.
Cool to know and thanks for being here :)
The water is so clear. Looking forward to seeing more. ❤️✌️😎👍
Yes so clean and nice there. Thanks so much Robert :)
Wow another top explore. What a sight to see and interesting history of this strange concrete ship. And after seeing the drone footage it has lasted well. Thank you as ever guys for taking me along.
Yes we are very glad to have shared that rare thing with you my friend. Loved it. Take care and greetings from us :)
Gotta love the cool hat, EE. Welcome aboard. The original photo you showed of the barge EE was interesting. Just imagine that it survived fairly intact after hitting the German sea mine. Very sturdy. Enjoyed the drone shots and accompanying 🎶 🎵 music. Thanks for taking us there. Stay safe. ❤❤
Indeed it was interesting and we loved to share that with you Laura. Hope you are having a great summer and we send our greetings from us :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter right back at you. XO
Have a good day. 😃
Wow! What a find! EE you are a great researcher and this touching history tour has been a fantastic experience. That barge is huge and the drone footage is fantastic. Thank you for this unique and special adventure ❤
Appreciated Beverley and yes it was a great little find by EE and so proud of him for that. Thanks from us :)
Very cool guys ! Love the drone shots too
Thanks so much!
The drone shots are just amazing. The shots are always so smooth
Appreciated and more to come soon :)
Spectacular drone footage. Thanks for sharing and as always " Good Hunting "
Loved it and thanks so much my friend :)
Whoever thought that concrete would float, amazing piece of history 👏
There you go and we loved to see that. Thanks for being here and greetings from us :)
Very interesting video. A rare survivor indeed. She is not the only ship made of concrete though, a quick search on the internet reveals several others. I also remember my Dad telling me of an American that he knew back in the late 1960's early 70's who was at that time living on his taught in Sydney harbour, that yacht hull was made entirely of concrete too.
yes were many of them but i think they are getting pretty rare these days. Thanks from us :)
If I fall you can have my camera, eagle eye says okay 😂😂😂
There you go :) Thanks.
This is super cool!! So much of still there after all these. Such great shots with the drone too. Thank you for sharing with us. Also I'm not sure how concrete floats either. Super neat
Great my friend and happy we could share that with you :)
Hey Guys, Thank You For This Video, I have watched every video you & eagle eye have done & liked everyone !! I live in Galveston Texas USA , We too have a WW1 cement ship name SS Selma which ran aground in 1919 & has been there ever since (it too is on CZcams).. I am 70 yrs old now, as a young boy the ship was still intact, many people thru the years brought & lived on it for many years until the ship started to decay & is in very bad shape to live on it & is dangerous to board & is forbidden by the US Coast Guard to board it. To my knowledge there was only (3) cement ship made that traveled under it's own power not a barge. The Ship was too heavy to get off the sandbar, so the US government just left it there, you can see on CZcams. When you said it was a Cement ship, my ear perked up instantly... I never saw inside this cement ship, it was great to see your video. The SS Selma is stuck on a sandbar & still in the water, only way to it is by a boat. Galveston have a free car ferry service to allow cars to cross the Galveston bay/Gulf Of Mexico, to the Port Bolivar Peninsular Texas so everyone can see the old decaying cement ship from a distance while crossing the bay (5-miles across the bay) although the tourist does not know it is a WW1 cement ship....Great idea that didn't work !! Thank for the video, I can't wait for your next video... Be Safe & Be Blessed..
Thanks for sharing and for being here with us :)
What a wonderfull discovery, shame about the microphone in the first 3 minutes and the end, goe very soft. We have several of these dotted around the UK, it seems to have been a big thing inthe 1920/30. This one is so well preseved too. Good spot on google earth EE, living up to your name again. Thank you for taking us along. Stay safe and well my friends
yes the mic suddenly changed from stereo to mono and i dont know how that happened. Loved it and thanks for your great support :)
What an unusual ship. I have never heard of one before. The only concrete structures that float that I heard of were the mulberries they built to float to Normandy for the invasion. Great eyes you have Eagle Eyes finding this on google earth. I wonder how it stayed afloat when it was full of its cargo. It looks like it doesn’t have any compartments for ballast. Great on you putting safety first. From the drone footage it doesn’t look like there was much to see on the upper deck. Can’t wait to see what else you have for us to see.
Yes pretty interesting it is and very glad EE spotted that. Good that we could use the drone. Thanks Anthony :)
How that could float is amazing after loaded with coal, concrete or sand. What a great piece of history & I'm glad it wasn't destroyed. Nice drone work it made the story much more interesting.
We loved it and thanks so much my friend for being here :)
Thanks! For more spectacular discovries!
Thank you too my friend for your kindness. Greetings from us and take care :)
I have worked on several concrete ships.
It's not easy to tell they are not steel.
There you go and must have been a experience indeed. Thanks Darrell :)
I am very surprised that that concrete vessel actually floats!😁
So was i and thanks for being here :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter 😁
Found it too ! Great challenge for sure ! Took me a while , but I persevered and was rewarded ! Great drone footage ! Awesome story about this one too ! You weren't joking when you said over 2800 KM's ! That's quite a hike ! Hope you take it to the "Top" Looking like the "Weather Gods" are smiling down on you ! Keep up the challenges ! I'm loving it ! 💯👍
Indeed we were not joking and we drove more then 3000 km this summer my friend and we loved every bit of it. Thank to the great support from people like yourself we will share some VERY cool stories and locations. Thanks so much :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter Looking forward to ihem !
Amazing video, you're son is growing so quickly, I pray you and your family have a wonderful week ❤
Yes he is growing like a horse indeed and we thank you for being here :)
Another amazing video leave it to EE to squeeze through an opening perfect. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a concrete barge. The Germans differently knew how to utilize concrete. Thanks again for sharing.
Was a great explore and thanks for being here with us :)
very beautiful ship if i had money i would restore this ship
Great explore and thanks for being here :)
Another awesome video, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow HH & EE what a Spectacular find you guys have found I have heard of such built ships even an ice ship they built during WW2 on the Allies side sadly it did not survive but it did float. I think you guys need a grppling hook and some good rope for climbing lucky you had the Drone lol. I really enjoyed this one fellas so bravo and cant wait to see the next one lol. Stay safe & healthy my friends 😊☺
Yes we loved this too my friend and very glad we could share that with you :)
Concrete weighs around 2.3 tons per cubic meter if that's any use to you.....
i see and thanks for watching.
Facinating find & explore. Who knew they made concrete ships. So cool.
Agree , such a cool thing to see. Thanks for watching.
COOOOOOOOL!
Hiya HH & EE 👋🏻
Kinda like the Mulberry Harbour at Arromanches that still stand as a reminder of history.
Great going gang, see you soon!
🇬🇧🫶🏻🇳🇴
Yes , this was a great discovery by EE and we loved to share it. Thanks Glenn and greetings from us :)
Wow what a great shot from the drone shot and the water looks so clear 👍
I am wondering how a big concrete ship loaded with tons of products can float 😮 Also I wonder what type of fighter jets you had flying around your vicinity. Tornado or F 16 ? Peace my friends.
Same as a steel ship. Total mass of ship and cargo is less than the mass of the water the hull can displace.
ok and thanks for watching.
so did i until someone told me how :) F35 flying around there EE said.
Thanks!
Greatly appreciated my friend and will come in so handy in future explores. Thanks and greetings from us :)
Cool barge !!!
Loved it and thanks Joseph :)
Wow that is amazing. ❤
Thanks for being here :)
That would have to be in the best condition of any concrete ship type thing still in existence
Most have broken up and deteriorated
Most likely so and thanks for being here with us :)
Thank you history hunter eagle eyes for taking us on this adventure I knew that the USA experimented with concrete ships but I didn't know the Germans did as well stay safe and keep smiling I'm well on my way to a full recovery from my surgery thanks again for the prayers stay safe and keep on smiling
Appreciated and greetings from us :)
when I was in Ballina Co. Mayo in Ireland twenty years ago I was shown the SS Creteboom a concrete ship from the first world war.
One twelve ships and fifty two barges built to transport iron ore from Spain to England.
ok and thanks for watching.
Great story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The d day thing were concrete also
so true and thanks.
There are many concrete ships still around. There is one in Sunderland, UK and a number of them alongside the northern bank of the River Thames to the east of London. Many concrete ships can be found in the US.
Good to know and thanks for watching.
There is one in Galveston Bay?
i see and good to know. Thanks for watching.
Actually concrete first came on the scene about 6500BCE from the Nabateans of ancient Syria and Iraq. Reinforced concrete came a bit later in history.
Thanks for comment and for watching.
Hope this helps put with your travels history hunter and Eagle Eye's.
Very kind of you my friend and we really do appreciate that :)
Had a friend who built a concrete yacht went all over the world with it.
Cool and thanks for watching.
There is or was a wreck on the great lakes sunk near a beach broken up
ok and thank for watching.
how could this ever swim?
I floated for sure. Thanks.
Ty hh and ee glad to see this ty
Appreciated and greetings from us :)
Omg you are making an awesome content
Thanks so much my friend :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter I followed you on Instagram
We re not on instagram..
@@WW2HistoryHunter but I followed the same page
What kind of birds are making that noise?
Now if you could find a WW2 pykrete ship that would really be something. 😂
could be interesting yes. Thanks.
The concrete evidence is now exposed 😅.. very cool though.. stay safe 🏴
Loved it and thanks for watching.
Hi
Have a nice day my friend :)
😊
Thanks.
Concrete
Indeed it is. Thanks.
Did not see my name on the donation list but thats ok.
IT all depends on when you donated during us being out there as we added name as we traveled during several weeks. Thanks.
I always listen out for how many time you say "Massive", and today's count was pretty good :D
Fascinating ship, I did some extra research, very interesting.
Drone footage was brilliant, it really adds some great footage to your videos, i know a lot of that depends on good weather and carrying it about, but just to say it's always a great addition.
It is just MASSIVE :) Loved it and thanks so much my friend :)
