Taffy 3 deserves their own video, they and their crew fought valiantly against warships that were bigger then their entire tonnage combined. Their story is truly incredible
100% agreed.
The History Channel did an episode on Taffy 3 about 20 years ago.
Drachinifel has a vid
The Battle of Samar - Odds? What are those?
Give it a look.
@@ABrit-bt6ce I highly HIGHLY recommend Drachinifel's channel if you like ships.
I couldn’t agree more.
We love our friend Mike Brady. You bring life back to every ship, every story, and every life.
I have gone to the Vasa museum, I am quite proud to be able to see the ship almost any day I want as I live in Stockholm. Pictures don't do the ship justice, it's only something you have to see in real life to truly understand how mighty that ship was supposed to be 300 years ago. If you ever go to Stockholm, going to the Vasa museum is genuinely a once in a lifetime thing to do.
I'd absolutely love to go - the fact it sailed in on its own keel with only minor aid is wild.
Ive always wanted to visit stockholm and whenever i do im definitely gonna go to the museum
Wasn't it wonderful! The small shoes had me feeling so sad
Agreed. Saw it a few years ago.
I agree
When you fight so hard your enemy salutes you, you've accomplished something
Indeed......people can be enemies and yet respect one another.
That’s how We were 🇺🇸 after Okinawa 🇯🇵
Good old Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler definitely brings to life.
The best description of Taffy 3's fight I've ever read went like this:
"The fox went after the chickens and the chickens attacked!"
And that sums it pretty well!
Not only that, the chickens won
@@filmandfirearms That they did!
Now mind you, I mean absolutely NO disrespect to those who've served in it since and those serving in it now, but in my opinion the US Navy of WW2 was the BEST navy we ever had!
I've met and known the veterans of the same and let me tell you, those guys were something special. What a priviledge it was to know them!
"they come to snuff the rooster"
The non-winable game won.
The time that the Kobayashi Maru was tamed.
As Jim Kirk said, "I don't believe in the "No-win situation", I don't like to lose." 😎👍
I've visited the Vasa museum and it is a very impressive ship that's amazingly well preserved. A small correction, though: one reason why she was preserved so well is because of the low salinity of the Baltic sea. The shipworm, the wood-eating mollusk that usually ends up destroying wooden shipwrecks is unable to survive in the relatively low-saline Baltic waters. Combined with the bottom of the Baltic sea being largely oxygen-poor, there's a lot of well-preserved wooden shipwrecks there.
Glad to see the Great Lakes freighters getting some love from our friend Mike! Highly recommend Big Old Boats and Maritime Horror's videos on the Morrell. Dennis Hale, the sole survivor who is sadly left unnamed here, and his 38 hour ordeal is the stuff of nightmares.
I scrolled through the comments to see if anyone else had mentioned Big Old Boats when I saw the Morrell. Him, Mike, and Drachinfel are my favorites when it comes to anything boats.
Mike, you’ve really been spoiling your subscribers. I’m all for it!
Congratulations on 500,000 subscribers, Mike! Well done!
Taffy 3 deserves a video just for itself for what they did in the battle off Samar, I still remember when the crew of USS Samuel B. Roberts saw Captain Evans still commanding her ship even when the main bridge was knocked out. she was commanding off of the stern of the USS Johnston. amazing stuff to make a video about.
A wonderful commerative song was made about the them by D4L - Laffy Taffy
@@RobertCraft-re5sf😂🤦🏻♂️
Fun fact the Samual B Robert's is now the deepest shipwreck in the world right now, unseating the Johnston as the deepest shipwreck
What makes Taffy 3 even better is the captain of the escort carrier USS _Manila Bay_ was Fitzhugh Lee III, the Grandson of Fitzhugh Lee; a Confederate General who served under JEB Stuart and - later - General of the 7th Army Corps during the Spanish-American War. His Great-Grandfather was Admiral Sydney Smith Lee; Robert E. Lee’s elder brother.
So, not only do you have a David vs. Goliath struggle, you have it with the descendants of some of the most influential people in US history.
Our friend Mike Brady is definitely the best CZcamsr in CZcams history!
YES!!! Totally need a Taffy 3 video. One of the most daring stories of the Pacific Theater!
I love this topic! Another amazing "frozen in time" shipwreck to me is the wreck of the pre-Dreadnought battleship HMS Victoria, which sits eerily vertical in the water with its bow buried in the seabed and the rest of its hull jutting upwards like an underwater tower.
I need to look it up, thank you.
It must be in at least 500 feet of water for passing surface ships to avoid colliding with it. Obviously the steel hull has not been attacked by corrosion or iron eating bacteria for the hull to still be intact.
The bow is possibly perfectly preserved due to being so deep into the seabed too.
@@taras3702 It is in only 460 feet of water, although about 100 feet from the bow is buried in the mud, and is an ironclad of only 340 feet.
It is a battleship with an 18 inch armored belt, so that's probably not rotting through any time soon.
It was very front heavy because it had a huge 16.25 inch gun and they think that that coupled with the engines still running sent it straight down.
I have a problem! I am addicted to Mike Brady’s channel and I watch it everyday and can’t go to sleep without watching these videos! LOL
I learn so much on your channel that it is mind boggling!
The one good thing about ships that sink, is it gives them almost immortality instead of just being scraped one day.
A shame it usually ends in a loss of life too though
Don’t look up Philippines scrapping operations
Unless they're close to Chinese waters...
@@legoeasycompany how so?
@@WhatALoadOfTosca look up the fates of HMS Exeter and HNLMS De Ruyter
Me smiling at work on my 12 hour shift when the video starts and he says “hi it’s your friend Mike Brady” ❤️
I would absolutely watch a movie about the Johnston and Taffy 3.
Our friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs is spoiling us lately with so many amazing videos! Huge thanks to you and your team for such quality topics and videos that suck me in every time ❤ I never get bored of your content!
The quality of your videos from the images, sounds, perspective, quality, passion and joy is awesome man!
You deserve all the success and should be proud of the community you’ve built
Congratulations on hitting 500K subscribers Mike! The U.S.S. Johnston (DD-557) was a Fletcher-class destroyer, and as I've mentioned in the past, I actually volunteered aboard one of them still preserved today: the U.S.S. Cassin Young (DD-793). Johnston's story is more than deserving of a movie: that one sailor's description upon seeing the Japanese fleet aboard these little destroyers that were known as "tin-cans" as being like "David without a slingshot" was gripping. The thought of this little ship and its comrades fighting the giants to the bitter end to give everyone else a chance at escape is one fraught with great terror to be sure, but also of immense bravery and honor. So much so that even the enemy had to (allegedly) salute them for their efforts in the end: when you've earned the respect of your enemy, you know you did something right. It is crazy to see just how well-preserved she is so far down on the seabed: we hear of well-preserved shipwrecks that still clearly resemble the mighty vessels they once were but now collapsed in many areas, but from the little shots we've seen of her, she genuinely looks like she is still in one piece, which is nothing short of ridiculous (in a good way). I salute her and her brave crew.
I didn't learn about Shackleton and The Endurance until about 15 years ago. I've read numerous articles and watched countless documentaries and still the story never ceases to captivate me. What always stays with me are the men who, after surviving the long hellish ordeal of the Endurance expedition, died so soon after their return in the Great War. I just imagine the incredible will to live these men possessed only to have their lives snuffed out in a situation where will to live has little effect on survival. I was thrilled when Endurance was discovered and i can't get enough looking at images of her. She's still a beautiful ship!
I discovered your channel when casually searching titanic on CZcams. Since then, perhaps a month, I’ve been a subscriber. I had no idea I would find myself coming back again and again discovering through your videos, incredible stories of ships. 👍💙
So glad you're enjoying it!
I visited the Vasa Museum back in 1994 and you can see how tall and narrow she was. There was no way that ship wasn't going to roll over. Another ship, similar to the Vasa, would be the Mary Rose.
The Endurance to me was one of the most incredible ships ever to be discovered. With the perfect state of preservation, and nobody having gone down with it, it should be raised and preserved in a museum for future generations.
An amazing collection of stories. These old ships really do have haunting stories behind them. Well done indeed.
I am always amazed at the courage and devotion of these heroes who “GIVE THEIR ALL” so others might survive! What a sacrifice! I do not know if I possess that courage.
The Wasa is an amazing survivor. I was lucky enough to get the chance to see her, and the level of preservation is amazing. She looks like she could be put back in the water and sail.....or capsize again.
I heard the story about the moray eel but the name of the shipwreck was never attached to the story- I have been trying to find this for years!!! Thanks Mike
Yeah! It's my friend Mike Brady!
Congrats on the 500k!
Congrats on the 500k Mike. I loved learning about all these shipwrecks. My dad is a big history buff too so when I see him tomorrow I got some trivia for him. Also I really liked the music you used in this video!
I saw the Vasa in person after previously seeing the Mary Rose in Portsmouth. For the phenomenal achievement of bringing the Mary Rose back up and the work on preserving it, the Vasa’s condition was made even crazier for me.
What a great achievement to have reached 500k subscribers @Oceanliner Designs. Love the quality of your videos.
Grats on 500K !!
The Fitzgerald was actually constructed of better, more flexible steel, and still broke in half when her bow struck the bottom in water more shallow than the boat's length.
The Mike Brady, our friend.
You bring the oceanliners to our current future!
The ocean takes and takes and takes, but it also keeps and keeps and keeps. Not just in popular memory, but physically, as well.
Another great one, as usual, Mike! Thanks!
Mike, you are truly an historian.Please continue your fine work.
My friend Mike Brady! Love your content, very well done and put together. Lost ships and people’s story’s need you to tell them.
FANTASTIC upload, thank you. They just get better and better each time. Keep up your great work 👍
Another interesting, incredibly well done video. Thank you for the link to the photographs of the Morrell. It was definitely worth a visit.
As always, another terrific video, Mike. Youre quite the story teller, and are able to captivate my interest.
Awesome video Mike
another great video. It's a miracle they found the Endurance so recently.
Great video Mike. Thank you. I find nothing scares me more than ship wrecks either below or partially submerged!!! Your videos are a good way to "discover " them.
OUR FRIEND MIKE BRADY HAS POSTED ANOTHER VIDEO. PERFECT TIMING!
YES
Beautiful stories and pictures. I enjoyed watching each minute. Your channel never has disappointed me! Thank you very much!
Nice to hear from my friend Mike Brady again. Enjoyed this one.
The follow up story and photos of the Morrell are amazing.
Found this channel a few days ago and been binge watching.. 👍 love this topic.
Another TOP NOTCH production here. Thank you for all the info!
As usual, this was so interesting. Thank you for bringing these historic tales to us.
Thanks for another great video friend Mike Brady.
Always so nice to see a video from our friend Mike Brady from ocean liner designs❤
11:17 Finns played a trick when the Vasa was being lifted. They planted a small statue of Paavo Nurmi on the deck, causing some confusion when it was discovered.
😊
Hi Mike, I noticed you said the Endurance set off in *1915* and then got stuck in the ice in “January 1915*. Her voyage to Antarctica began in August 1914. She got trapped in pack ice in December 1914, and drifted with the ice to the approximate place where Shackleton knew there was no hope for his ship in January 1915, about 5 months after Shackleton and his crew began the voyage. 😊It’s a fascinating story, and I appreciate you showing us the wreck. Amazing she was found!
Funny how Endurance was smashed to pieces magically repaired itself when it got to the bottom judging by the photograph. Maybe the planking was sprung due to increased ice pressure would have been a better statement. Congratulations on reaching half a million
Glad to see this one back here where it belongs, Mike.
Yes! Bit of an interesting story behind this video 😅
What happened? Were you hit with a copyright for those pictures?@@OceanlinerDesigns
Excellent video Mike! Well done and thanks!
Mike always makes these interesting, good quality videos and it always fascinates me. Keep doing this🥰
Can you do a video on Lake Superior? It’s got incredibly preserved wrecks and incredible stories about the storms up there.
Very interesting! I love the Vasa. I have always wanted to go see it in person but not likely I'll get to. It is such a beautiful ship!
Hey there Mike, I started watching your content roughly a month ago, and it has opened my eyes to a whole different part of life, I love each of your videos and aspire to be as knowledgeable about ships, and the like as you are one day. Keep up the great work, I love it! :)
Very interesting program. I too am impressed with the accounts of Taffy 3 and the brave destroyer captains. Thanks for sharing!
I love how you put these videos together i can i can listen for hours
Fascinating as always Mike, thanks again.
Ah ... always waiting for your uploads 🙏
I find your channel so fascinating! Great work!
Congrat, youre the first creator im supporting on Pateron! Keep up the good work!
Amazing video mike thank you for your work (:
Congrats on 500K subscribers ! have been here for 400K of those as new subscribers and am totally satisfied with your interesting and informing. Looking forward to all your posts as I continue to be amazed and enthralled with your stories and remarkable research thast goes into each and every one. Will still be here when you attain the millionth !
You guys should do another video on really old ships like Viking or Egyptian, that would be cool like origin of ship building in different civilizations.
An informative, professional presentation, as always. Thanks.
Another outstanding video!!!
Thanks for the link to Becky Shott’s dive photography. She’s done amazing work, worth watching all of her videos
I'm digging this channel! Excellent presentation and entertaining. Keep it up! 👍
The phrase "absolute lunatic of a vessel" made me laugh out loud 😂
Uss Johnston aka taffy 3 is my favorite part of WW2 history glad you started this CZcams video with taffy 3
Gotta make other CZcams videos such as the missing flight 19 over the buremda triangle as well
There's so many different unknown ship wrecks and plane wrecks in the Ocean
Mike Brady
🕊️ Of peace
Great video as always sir, thanks.
Taffy 3 absolutely deserves it's own video!
The inclusion of the Vasa is appreciated. An amazing ship and museum, if anyone is ever visiting Stockholm, it’s worth a visit.
The stern of the Morrell being 5 miles away from the bow is even more incredible when you consider that even in ideal conditions, as an intact ship, the Morrell would've traveled maybe 15 mph. In the middle of a storm, with no one controlling its direction, and with its open cargo hold creating a blunt, unhydrodynamic shap to have to push through the water, to have traveled 5 miles before sinking must've taken at least an hour and is an incredible feat for a ship designed with no thought towards disaster survivability.
There is also the fact that the engines would have only had to push half of the ships usual weight though
Love Mike - and the channel. Being a Roche I feel bizarrly linked to the Titanic !!
Great video again Mike. Well done on respecting the intellectual property of others and not breeching copyright of the DJM. A shame a lot of other CZcamsrs think other peoples images and videos are fair game for illegal reproduction.
Get ready for a flood, my man! Tasting History just gave you a fablous shout-out!
You deserve it!
Any day there's an oceanliner designs video, its a good day.
Amazing video thank you for sharing🤗
thankyou for this.. great video.. very imformative
Mate keep up the great work Mike.👍👌✌🦘
i love watching your videos of the History of old ships 🚢 and the TITANIC i love everything about the TITANIC and i have ever since i was 10 years old
The last ship in Alaska, Mike, you didn't even mention the Bald Eagle sitting on the crossbar at the front lol I thought that was a great image. Great episode!
Ah, yes, the Vasa, the most epic fail.
I'm going to Stockholme in a few weeks, so will be adding the Vasa Mussum to the list. It looks like an incredible artefact.
You should definitely go and pay the old lady a visit. There are many exhibitions there too, so you will probably spend a couple of hours there. Luckily, they also have a restaurant so you can have a meal or some snack there if you like. Welcome to Stockholm!
Another very interesting and informative video. Excellent work.
Thanks for the great vid Mike. Though perhaps a small adendum for the Vasa: The ship was so well preserved not because the water was salty but because it lay in an estuary where the fresh water of the river carrying lots of sediment and the saltwater of the baltic sea met making for a unigue near oxygen free environment where no Shipworms could live as well as bacteria not work well since they lacked oxygen.
Another very entertaining and educational video. Mike is the man.
The Coolidge deserves a whole video, dived it many a time. It's the largest accessible shipwreck in the world, it's an amazing place and Alan Powers story is great, reach out whenever 😊
Endurance enduring for years, such an epic story
I enjoy your stories Mike, thank you.
never thought i would see the Daniel j morrell here love that ships history
Mike I invite you to come to Michigan and do some touring of the lake museums and museum ships. The story of the Fitz, our “Titanic” of the Great Lakes, deserves her own documentary altogether.
