M29C USMC Water Weasel Underwater Views - amphibious operation War Marines

These are images of my 1945 ex-U.S. military Studebaker M29C Water Weasel. The Weasel is an amphibious tracked vehicle that drives both on land and in the water solely through the use of it’s track drive. It has a top speed on land of approximately 35 mph and in the water swimming at 4 mph. Today, Weasels that still have their front and rear flotation tanks installed and that still are water tight are rare. There are only a handful in the world that still can safely operate in the water. These images were filmed on Georgian Bay on The Great Lakes in Ontario, Canada. I decided to shoot underwater footage of the vehicle in operation as there are none in existence. Owners of this vehicle may find this unique perspective of interest as it shows images of the vehicle and it’s workings below the waterline. If you wish to view the Weasel further, I have posted other videos of this vehicle operating both in and out of the water. My videos can be readily recognized as this vehicle is painted in U.S. Marine Corps 4 color camouflage of the period. The paint pattern has been reproduced from photos taken of a Weasel on the island of Iwo Jima in 1945 during WW2. I hope you enjoy these unique underwater views.

It’s not an easy job to film this video underwater. Your special skill allows us to know how this amphibious tank swims in the waterline. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@davebrittain9216]

No one else would think about doing a video like this! Very cool!

[@melissaevans651]

Thanks for these...will try to educate myself to be able to get this operation known....thanks

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Great video! I thought you filmed this at a sea. The water is so clear. Thanks

[@alcopower5710]

Absolutely fantastic video. Love the underwater views that would never be seen otherwise. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@BuceGar]

Pretty cool.

[@D8W2P4]

Looking at how smooth the tracks are I wonder if it'd go faster in the water if it had more pronounced grousers.

[@justmarcin8555]

So once in water, the trick the track make that we are moving, so if we want to go faster do we have to put on the highest gear to gain some speed?

[@nukeboy27]

lower gear to make the tracks move faster. Using tracks for propulsion is super slow and inefficient

[@eugeniovincenzo1621]

Now I know how it feels to be run over by a tank and see the light!!!

[@KawaTony1964]

I wonder what would happen if it hit an underwater obstacle on one side only? For example, what if the left tread contacted a large boulder while the right tread remained free? Would it tip over?

[@jzapien1377]

Same thing on land with soft dirt or mud, it would tip and turn away from it because the difference in traction

[@Saffi____]

For some reason, everytime I watch this my brain has a fart. Objects like these shouldnt float yet here we are.
