Sorry for the inconvenience, guys. We had to blur out some footage due to copyright issues. We hope you can still enjoy the videos we put together for you. Love you all! ❤
Well take it down edit and reupload it instead of rushing it out maybe 🤔
👍👍👍
You should re-edit this video and reupload. Horrible video I ever watched
Супер!!!!😂
I was thinking the same but now I’m hearing it from a marine I knew I was not crazy lol
As an former Mariner there's not a ship built (ever) that cant sink...
MV Derbyshire springs to mind...
Your mom is unsinkable.
a coastguard ship is practicaly unsinkable
Neither lifeboats nor coast guard boats are unsinkable. They withstand big forces, but their hulls are not unbreakable. And if they break they're done.
Titanic?
Would never get too cocky! Nature has a way of always winning!
One word comes to mind.
As a retired ship captain, I've witnessed how a large wave can break a ship in two. Sorry to contradict you.
Doesn't see where they asserted that couldn't happen, so no contradiction exists
@@ddoppster Are you a member of the Flat Earth Society too?
thank you for your service, but yeah, this is ridiculous.
As a retired Chief Engineer on merchant ships and a retired Inspector ofship construction I have to agree. It was a journalist who declared "hat god himself could not sink this ship" that ship was the Titanic, enough said !!
@@HAmatelotI knew he was a fake😂
30 years as sailing marine engineer.
Stabilizers malfunction and tip the ship in calm seas.
Pumps fail sometimes in multiples causing the loss of ability to transfer water or bunkers.
Main engines trip as in the case of the El Faro.
Witnessed a crack all the way across the main deck of a 15 year old container ship. Fortunately it was discovered and we were able to slow down and made it to a nearby port.
When men are involved mistakes happen.
When nature is involved there is always a larger event possible.
And as others commented there is a vast difference between a boat and a ship.
Respect the sea. Do your best to keep all components In good condition. Don’t take shortcuts. Pray for protection.
Spot on, the ocean is chaos, there is no sure thing on the water
El Faro was an accident that didn't need to happen, 95% on the "captain" and his ego, but that whole oil pump was a bad design, as well as those dated lifeboats... .
Is there any truth to what i've read about it, certain people that all claimed to engineers, have said they should have over filled the oil tank when the list got really bad, then pumped it to a overflow tank after the list was taken care of? Not that it would have ever righted itself, that shipped was already doomed at that point .
Danielle the second mate was my friend from Rockland, Maine, I get angry and sad this time of year and always rewatch all the videos on it....
I wish she would have just changed course when he was sleeping and dealt with aftermath later....
@@wilburkookmeyer024
You are correct. There was a lot more to the El Faro than I mentioned. I have read many of the documents and reports and listened to the bridge recordings. Makes me sad and sick. So sorry that you lost your friend. She tried to get the Captain to change course.
I want to ask abt the cargo that's stacked on the ships ! Won't ruff seas topple them off the ship or something?
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 7:75

no ship is unsinkable no matter what technology you use
Unless you have enough foam in it to give it positive buoyancy. :)
@@JanDreier-HH Than it takes only more things go wrong to sink it.
Thank you Batman.
Tell it to these ignorant @noelmaher4633
@noelmaher4633
So bloody true comrade
These ain't ships, they're boats. I worked aboard a ship (SS Northern Lights renamed El Faro) that later went to the bottom when she lost power and was at the mercy of monster waves off the Bahamas, and they took her on down...RIP Brothers and Sisters of the Sea
You can never say "why monster waves can't sink large ships" If anything is in any ocean it can sink.
That is right.
These ships are great, but not invincible.
@@antonboludo8886 if the captain told me his ship was unsinkable, I'm getting off.
yepp there's many anomalies of ships diapering at sea. We dont even know everything there is to know about the ocean's yet 🤐
Totally stupid!
Challenging Nature😂😂😅😂
In my Coast Guard service I experienced four years on the winter North Atlantic...Thing is ships systems do break down. stuff happens. no one can say that storms cannot sink a large ship when other things go wrong. I have seen several rogue waves that could have turned over an unlucky ship...
Oh yes they can . Some long ships like tankers can break in half from the stress on the hull .
THE ONLY WAY FOR A TANKER TO SINK BREAK INHALF
Didn’t the Titanic break in half? of course the front was filled with water.
The methods described in this video are to stabilise the ship in heavy seas. Sadly, that won't stop a ship sinking. I used to run large oil products tankers from Europe to New York. I once had a 75,000 tonne ship enter a severe Atlantic storm to rescue a yachtsman. Lost its front two cargo hatches so the holds that were originally filled with 25,000 tonnes of gasoline were suddenly filled with 35,000 tonnes of seawater. The ship went bow down into mountainous waves and its keel eventually fractured. Limped into New York, beached on a sand bar and was unloaded with barges as it was in danger of sinking.
Yachtsman saved themselves by just battening down hatches and riding out the storm.
This sounds absolutely terrifying, even to seasoned seamen.
was there a problem with the security of the hatches?
@@antonboludo8886 Sometimes things happen just because the sea has immense power. In this particular case the ship was sailing into a storm that was the remainder of a hurricane and the waves were coming somewhat at right angles across the deck. Big ships usually try and track around the edges of storms and the Master will very carefully plan speed and course direction largely keeping the bows into the oncoming waves.
This is not easy to do. @@brianthesnail3815
Never say never.
All it takes is a couple of tall waves with a deep trough in between and the ship suspended across. You break deep, and you're gone.
Ships as large as a destroyer were lost in a Typhoon during World War 2... Aircraft carriers were damaged badly enough by the sea alone to render them unusable until repairs were made.
Self righting is cool, But in itself not enough.
My God . .
One hundred and nine after Titanic sank and people still dare to use the term; "Unsinksble" . .
Yeah unsinkable isn’t likely, but Titanic era ships aren’t like our ships
@@EperogiLimousine Worse, or better?
@@williamphillips6049 better, we don’t have to row wooden lifeboats across the ocean, they are built like submarines, GPS, helicopters, other stuff, the only true risks to ships today are capsizing in the middle of the ocean, but hitting a rock or slowly sinking is bad for the ship, but will probably have little to no deaths
@EperogiLimousine Agreed, you're right on all points, including ship construction methods.
I don't think you mentioned that (?).
I am nostalgic and often believe that older stuff and ways are often better.
Not in the case of the Titanic.
Despite it's legendary status; riveting technology of the time amounted to four or five guys using sledge hammers pounding on a single red hot rivet.
This and arrogance did it in as much as the berg.
Fools only one chance out there 😞
Respect for nature increases everyday. The waves are terrific but beautiful..
Amazing video!!! Congrats!!!
These are amassing boat designs that the British have had to design to suite the horrendous seas they encounter during rescues around their coastal waters. Excellent work.
The Brittish? The Brittish always lagged behind in design and then some disaster helped them to upgrade their fleet to latest standards and conquer.
If the Dutch did not sail up the Medway and destroy the obsolete Brittish fleet forcing the Brits to rebuild and come back on top wioth the most modern fleet...........................Your welcome, thank the Germans to for pointing out another flaw in your designs that made you get back on top. ;-)
What people don't realize is that wave does not hits you or ship as water, it hits as concrete. The bigger the wave, the distance it hits from the heavier it will be. So it can indeed break ship, it might not be able to roll it over but definitely can damage and sink it.
(As dramatized in Titanic) Ismay: "But this ship can't sink!" Andrews: "She's made of iron, sir; I assure you she can." The only ships that can't sink are ones made of materials lighter than water, such as foam composites. These won't sink but can be broken. Misleading even more, the self-righting clips are of specialty boats such as Thunder Child and rescue vessels; these were purposely constrained in their design to be self-righting. Verrrry few craft have an "angle of vanishing stability" high enough to self-right; as others said, all it takes is one hatch, window, or other failure to lose the air that gives most self-righting vessels their buoyancy.
Pure knowledge without annoying loud voice throwing words on you.
Thank you so much for it.
As a professional mariner and licensed ship master....large swells can snap a ship in two...bulk carriers are the most prone to this...
According to a ship captain, "the largest ship on the sea, is just a cork."
One of largest ships carrying loads in Hull went through huge storm waves over 100ft High rode up wave then on way down snapped in middle all lost was brand new ship captain was very qualified many years doing job ,cant always predict waves being that high when get two in row will break most heavy tankers .
A large wave can easily snap a ship in two. If both the stern and bow are out of the water and the wave is in the center of the ship like a fulcrum... it can break in half.
Exactly, my thoughts, no way did the author of this script just claim there are unsinkable ships, humanity has made that claim and been down that road too many times to count, every time proven wrong. When they're in the ocean, no matter how big or impressive their specs are on paper, they are ALL itty bitty toys at the mercy of the weather. The captain can do everything by the book, perfectly. The ship can be the latest and greatest engineering marvel. It all means nothing when you get cocky. It's all small when you put it in the ocean.
@@arman757 Maybe normal ships, but not ones like the Titanic! (sarcasm)
They are rescue boats not 400 yard long ships.
@@ZootyZoFo The safest floatation vessel is probably a blow up raft, even they require life vests.
In the video they have not said that this was infallible. It is obvious that under really very extreme conditions the ship can suffer some damage, we have all seen images of the 2011 tsunami in Japan where the boats have been left on the roof of the houses, but there is no system for that, right, in which the boat flies off the roof of the house and back into the water. Here the video explains the different systems to maintain the stability of a boat. They have not mentioned that they are infallible.
The Edmund Fitzgerald begs to differ on “monster ships and monster waves “ !!!
Thanks for this
"Some ships made by engineers..." What about those thousands of ships made by non-engineers?
😂😂😂
The robot doesn't know about those.
0:35 "Here is the technology that makes ships *UNSINKABLE* ."
”We place absolute confidence in the *TITANIC* . We believe the boat is *UNSINKABLE* .”, _Philip Franklin, White Star VP_
As a random person with no background in oceanic travel, monster waves (and even small waves) can in fact sink large ships.
props to the cameraman that never sinks.
Great video on these self righting boats which I really didnt know much about till now
....'unsinkable' famous last words uttered numerous times over oceans worldwide troughout history
Those self-righting vessels are not ships they are small boats. Most vessels are not considered ships until they are greater than 65FT
83 ft.. (25 mt and over) it is considered a ship .. not 65 ft
@@anaus7926 Even better. THE US CG uses 65ft. But 83ft makes the point even better.
The electronic blade control on Voith Schneider drives can mitigate 95% of roll in 5 m seas using the Voith Schneider Active Roll Stabilization System. It can also control deck pitch, which may be necessary for towing vessels using render/recover winches whose load meter can be tied to the pitch control.
sales pitch? (pun intended)
ecogeek demanding the best technology for spill prevention@@JustMeBlindFreddy
Well explained, thanks 👍
What I find really amazing is all of those containers. They must then be transferred unto trains and trucks.
These trade routes in their various forms have been amazing since antiquity.
It is unthinkable that a ship is unsinkable !
Most of the content does not apply to large vessels, but to small boats. 50 years in the Maritime Industry, including 18 years at sea I have never known a large vessel to capsize in heavy seas, you always head into the waves or swell. Most large ships that capsize do so cargo due to shifting even very calm conditions, especially when carrying ore which may be over its flow moisture point.
A sailboat (keel) will also self-right and those things go down all the time. Most trans-ocean racing boats also self-right, and additionally the cabins can be sealed water tight. Those also go down. Sealed hatches can breech and you can take on water. You can improve your odds but you can never determine your outcomes. If you've ever been out to sea you know nature is completely indifferent, and its power is immense. It's a force, and it can find a way.
Yes the modern technology is amazing sometimes!!!
Great video !!!👍
Unsinkable was a term used by the Titanic, Ocean Ranger (offshore oil platform) were hailed as unsinkable.
I have never heard of a large ship not being able to sink.
ANY ship can be sunk if the wave is big enough and hits it from the wrong angle!
MSC Napoli (2017) and MOL Comfort (2013) both sunk in stormy weather. I got these from one of your own videos!
Wow thank you for a really interesting learning experience ..perfect voice too
I’ve learnt loads I’ll be back ..thank you
They most certainly can. A ship called ARVIN broke in two and sank in the Black Sea due to heavy seas.
Omg
It's because of the wrong calculation of the center of gravity which is no more than a meter.
Mother Nature just laughs at our efforts!! No ship is unsinkable.
Aye matey too bloody right alright 😮
Very informative video….👏
Glad you liked it
I would like to know(as a yacht sailor)Who believes that those that go down to the Sea in boats, are not putting themselves in peril, I've been there and thankfully, Enjoyed Mother Gia's biggest thrill but I know when not to step on a chalk cliff edge in a rain storm.
Agree with most of the comments which says nature is supreme. Having said that , the technological advancements are amazing.
excellent technology to prevent boats & ships from capsizing # 👍👍
Just you wait you haven’t seen EXTREME weather yet. But we all will.
I have utmost respect for cargo ships and the crew. It's a dangerous job and many lost their lives in the journey of delivering goods. I often ship items by sea. I just think cargo ships no matter how large are in greater danger now due to unforeseen severe weather change and storms. There were already a few cargo ships that sunk recently and some crew from my hometown are still not found.
Respect for the Marine soldiers who services and have been servicing for the mankind keeping their life on the line, My salutes to all such souls
Unsinkable. Where I heard that before?
Absolutely a CRAZY assertion
Great sharing❤
There’s nothing on this Earth that cannot be destroyed by nature
This video is very nice👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes your right no ship no matter how strong they are built mother Nature will send them down to Davy Jones locker
The first clue someone has never been to sea before is when they tell you there is an unsinkable ship. Spend some time in the North Atlantic in the winter time, there are seas there that will sink anything that floats.
I say the two words, North Atlantic, with the same awe and reverance as when I look up at the Milky Way. They both embody power on a scale unimaginable to we ant-beings, but only one of them is here on earth where we dwell.
Self righting boat seem like something I’d much rather have on a superyacht as opposed to having jet ski’s😂
Fantastic!
Large waves can sink ships, they can break the keel or flood multiple compartments if the crew does not exercise proper precautions. No ship is unsinkable.
SAR boats have been "safer" but no ship today is unsinkable. Waves have smashed in windows b4 and will do it again in future.. so the air pocket may be lost. But there has been a good progress in ship safety for sure. Just dont jinx it by saying its unsinkable,
excellent video 😄😄😄😄
Best video❤❤
Should have said - why large waves ‘rarely’ sink large ships.
History blows the word unsinkable out of the water.
There was a time when ancient people used to cross these seas with wooden ships
My ship sinks all the time but I some how always seem to get her back a float and keep on sailing hoping to see those days of calmer weather and glassy seas.
What a silly title.
No Ship is unsinkable......
Waste of bandwidth. No distinction between boats and ships. Monster waves and parametric rolls CAN sink ships.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!😊
I _think_ you may have missed some irony there....
Anything we build as modern as it may be as advanced as it may be you are dealing with Mother Nature don't matter how advanced how large if she wants to take it down it's going down
The MS Munchen was also considered unsinkable.
Never say never. If the ship falls over to its side, it will definitely sink with that sort of weight and load.
Highly satisfied informative thanking you mam
I have not had a chance to board a ship. I fear a lot.This video has given me courage to travel in ship one day.
If the wave hits at the right angle, a ship will sink! Any ship....
Excellent 👍
It is very likely that future ships may be made un-sinkable.
Unsinkable self-righting boats impress me a lot
Can't sink, you say. I bet there are a lot of loved ones of lost souls that would love to argue that fact
My grandfather was on the Edmund Fitzgerald 29 lost their lives that day Big lake Superior never gives up her dead!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Mother Nature: "I'm gonna make big waves"
Humans: "Fine we'll just make bigger ships"

Good video.
Thank you
Never say never, remember the Tanic.
Dont remember that ship,but i do remember The Titanic
They said the Titanic could not sink, yet it did
Loony! No ship is unsinkable. This is dangerous misinformation. Ships cannot capsize, small boats might, not large ships. I'm a Master, I know.
that's amazing technology
teknologi yang luar biasa❤❤❤
i have never seen a turning test with a open container carrier.
Good idea
How is it that in 2023, an average of 1 to 2 cargo ships -- bulk, container, etc. -- are lost at sea each and every week? I know that average has improved tremendously over the last 30 years, but 1 to 2 a week is still a lot of large ships sinking every year.
