Why was this WW2 ship so cursed?
Sometimes it is hard to separate fact from fiction and this is very much the case when it comes to the seemingly cursed ship, the ‘SS Alkimos.
So judge for yourself the mysterious tale of the cursed merchant ship of many names……..

Getting welded inside of a ship's hull sounds terrible.
It was actually a far more common issue than most people realize. My family historically worked in the Newcastle-upon-Tyne shipyards and in the 1800s and early 1900s most large ships would have one or two welders or riveters being entombed.
@@FreyaofCerberus How...how does that happen so often.
@@highfive2935 These ships were very large, in the past there was no method to keep track of how many people were working or where they were. So if you were riveting an inner hull panel and another group of people were working on an outer panel you might not know about each other. The outer guys seal up the hull and now you can't get back out. A shipyard is a very loud environment with lots of banging and shouting, so the chances anyone hears you banging on the inner hull is minimal. It's a truly horrible fate.
@@highfive2935 lack of safety measures, workers not paying attention to markers, faulty equipment has been the case for a few welders & firewatch dying from lack of oxygen. OSHA has done alot to remedy the issues but accidents do still happen even today
It’s what happened on Pearl Harbor, men were stuck in one of the ships, I forgot it’s name, but during the attack, the ship turned over and the men inside were trapped, they were eventually saved but they all could’ve died if no one heard their banging on the hull.
*Part of the ship, part of the crew*
Do ya fear death, Jack Sparrow?
hey, can you somehow make a video about this ?
Woah , what are you doing here lol?
It is forbidden to speak of the [REDACTED] app
Part of the ship, part of the crew
Ship: has electrical issues due to poor wiring
Crew: well it must be haunted
😂
Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha
Of course someone already pointed it out and I don't notice until after I comment the same... although I used normal English instead of 9 year old kid comment memes..
I think eventually it became a victim of its own reputation as a haunted ship and people just exaggerated stories just to add to its reputation. Obviously not all of them
It's not like they didn't check the electrical connections of the ship while they were servicing it. According to the video, no specific issues were found, but the lights still flickered during operation.
*"yo i got suffocated in a boat, so i have to haunt it"*
Exactly
Well I already died here, guess I’ll be stayin here then
You sound like Benry from hlvr
I'm mean, if ever there was s reason for a disturbed spirits to haunt a place, it would be were they soffocated while being welded in.
"Dude where's the door?"
"There, i draw it with magic marker"
Given the fact that this ship has gone through numerous unlucky events but still manages to survive attacks during WW2 and stay float this whole time, I'd say that the ship is lucky.
The ship is lucky the man is not
IJN Shigure: same bro
the ship haunted the fighters and bombers who dared to attack it.
A deal with the devil, perhaps? 😉
The ship stole all the luck points of its crew.
"A ship that refuses to die"
Tried to ram itself into the coast
Hmm
To prevent sinking,
No pain = No gain
You see to build up immunity to sinking you break tiny holes in and let water in so you can work your way up to large breaches.
"A ship that refuses to die"
*restoring a shipwreck from scratch noises*
"The ship had hit a mine...unexplainably falling apart."
It. Hit. A. MINE.
Its more of yes it hit the mine, but despite that, ship should not break into peaces with just one sea mine. Hole yes but not into peaces and reason for that was never discovered. I'm suspecting tress fractures into seams, what finally snapped due explosive shock wave.
/\
@@Hellsong89 yeah no thats what you call a hull break my dude.
I can reveal the truth about this.
Either the ship's structure was too loose or unstable, or maybe the explosion set off by the mine was strong enough to somewhat destabilize the bolting of the ship's parts.
Either one of these theories could be correct.
I'm not sure you understand the purpose of a mine
Its not cursed, The Dungeon Master kept rolling Nat 1s for random events for the ship
And pulling from the book of 10,000 outcomes of wild magic
The die was cursed
You. I like you. Got a discord?
@@RascaldeesV2 me?
♂️DEEP♂️DARK♂️ FANTASIES♂️
I'm still suprised that the ship was in service for that long.
Seriously yeah. If that ship didn't have all kinds of problems by then I would have been amazed. I was in the US Navy and we put ours in for complete overhauls after some years and what it goes thru. I think I never heard of a military ship not seeing the yard for a complete overhaul more than 8 years. Even then after 20 years they look to replace it.
And I know the civilian shipping companies will avoid those costs if they can get away with it. So yeah.
@@davidtherwhanger6795 I was kinda expecting for the ships keel to break after a year in service.
@@raulperez439 Ya considering it was a Liberty ship which was probably rushed and made of poor quality do to all the fires and electrical problems.
@@raulperez439 Supposedly did happen to some of the Liberty ships.
@@nathanieldraper3763 Pretty sure there were competions between ship building yards to build Liberty ships as fast as possible. There was a Liberty ship that was built in four days. I beleive it was this ship or another ship that sank after its keel broke.
I think it was pretty stupid that they left *one* guy alone. For months. On a seemingly haunted ship. They should have left like a team of people there and had them switch with other groups every week. No man should be left alone in such a large (and malfunctioning) ship. When that part came up, I was getting *ALL* the Shining vibes.
FWIW, that was a cartoon Jack Nicholson lol. But with civilian ships that’ve been beached or otherwise disabled, it’s pretty standard procedure for a single person to be put aboard as a care taker. Their job is basically to keep an eye on the ship and make sure it’s not boarded or stolen. If it starts to sink, they’re there to radio the occurrence, or prevent if if possible.
That would be like Five Nights at Freddy's.

Yeah who knows if others factions were trying to get him to leave and plunder the ship.

3:46-3:58 the frequent breakdown of the engine kinda explains the flickering lights. The ship's engine provides primary power to the ship. If the engine is shoddy, the electrical supply is likely going to be unreliable.
The ship itself were notorious for being under powered for its sheer mass it could only go about 10 knots normally and thirteen at a sprint and only for short bursts. It was meant for one thing...to provide shipping its about as basic as it got it was ugly and even before wwii the design was british and sixty years old at the time. It was outdated but it got the job done.
Yeah the ship definitely wasn't cursed or haunted, it was just the shoddy construction combined with sailors perpetuating their own superstitions
I don't even remotely believe in Ghosts, but that's pretty crazy

they put 1 guy in an aging ship all alone for months, OF COURSE HE WENT CRAZY!
staying on that ship alone for months proves he was already crazy. (imagine seeing blood coming from the walls and not quitting your job)

@@speedy01247 he was in the military, quitting isn't as easy as other jobs. you get given orders you have to follow them. you can request to be moved but only if you have a superior to talk to.
That would happen with anyone. I agree with you.
However, there's still something weird about this ship.
Maybe the blood on ze Walls is from that peoples who died in hull 😨😨😨
At least it wasn’t a former battleship captain stuck for two years under the sea in a missing submarine aircraft carrier. Now where have I heard that before?

Titanic: I can’t sink!
A: the alkimos had thousands of sister ships
B: A liberty ships had litteraly had 0 protection to the hull and its not even remotely surprising a mine was able to sink one
they had no real protection because they weren't really meant to make more than one successful trip across the Atlantic. after all by the time one group got to England another couple batches were already being made
oh and the choppy electrical systems on board were likely due to it being built down to a cost.
Well the sinking part isn’t a big surprise, the fact that it split apart was. Ships don’t usually break in half when hit by a mine

@@hauntedhouse7827 Oh great ill get right to telling strategist that. No point using them if they don't work!
@@unkulunkulu1494 Your post confuses me. The point I was trying to make was the reason this was notable was because the compartments didn't work. After this disaster they reinforced the ships and changed the design. I don't understand what this is trying to say.

Truly one of the more eerie legends of the second world war. With all the mishaps and lives lost it's no surprise there's such a sinister aura around it.
If it's so haunted then why is it such a popular diving venue? Since it was officially abandoned there have been no further deaths attributed to the wreck at all.
@@MegaRazorbackalmost like extremely superstitious people (like sailors) perpetuate their own beliefs via a self-induced placebo effect and the "haunted" stories completely vanish when those people are no longer involved

Thanks, Sierra.
Originally the ships were welded together and they were prone to suddenly breaking apart and sinking very rapidly. This was corrected when they went back to the standard practice of using rivets.
Incorrect. All Liberty ships were welded - except for those made by Betlehem Fairfield - as riveting would add months to the production time of each hull.
The welds were later reinforced with riveted bands, but the ships were welded together, not riveted.
As one of the ghosts from this ship, I'm glad someone has managed to finally tell my story.

Stolen comment.
Liberty Ships took ten days to build, The Alkimos took an unusually long 6 weeks due to mishaps in construction. I have the book on the Alkimos. Yes, crew did talk about eerie phenomena. When she was taken out of Fremantle harbour it’s was actually an insurance job, not a curse. The first caretaker was Wayne Morgan. He didn’t stay for months, he stayed on board 6 NIGHTS and kept a journal. He did leave and booked into a psychiatric hospital. The plane did crash yes. John Voight was training between Fremantle and Rottnest island and that is where he disappeared from which is no where near the wreck of the Alkimos, yes, his skull was found near the Alkimos.
A number of things in this video are not correct.
I guess thats why he said in the beginning something about speculations and what not
"damn it cj all you had to do was weild the damn ship cj"
*pieces of previously wielded ship floats by them *

There are x imposters AMONG US
Maybe the imposters don’t want people on the ship.
@Guy Panzerboss
Let's not forget what he said about rumors and such.
There's a whole lot of not proven facts in this.
Most likely the cold area were either the A/C also glitching on and off, or, and the most probable, it's embellishment after the fact.
Also, you can't logically ask people to explain things, when you don't even know if what you want explained even happened.
@Guy Panzerboss Well i dont think exactly A/C but they did have heaters
@Guy Panzerboss
Yeah, some did and some didn't.
I've read stories about ships that were made for the Atlantic with no ac getting sent to the Pacific. Miserably hot.
But no clue if this particular ship did.

That's one nickname for a certain Mr V. Quizling XD.
I remember hearing a worker was caught up in the hulls of the Queen Mary and another ship from the 1860s, so either this happened all the time or else it was just a story that floated around. Oddly for a ship to be cursed the curse didn't seem to arise until after WWII when it could have easily have been torpedoed or hit by a mine. Stories do have a chance to be exaggerated and considering how this ship survived it's shelf-life it was amazing it lasted as long as it did.

I thought I heard the Old Man say:
The strange idea popped into my head that it was the frantic banging on the hull of the ship by the trapped ship builders that infested the entire ship with fear and horror. People have an energy field around them which affects the molecular structure of everything within range. This is more than likely why 'ghosts' are seen. It is a similar phenomenon to a phonograph record. If the trapped men believed that they had been heard, but ignored, this field would have been very malicious.
Or maybe that story is complete nonsense and the "ghosts" were just imagined by the sailors perpetuating their own superstitions via self induced placebos

It’s crazy how not that long ago they just said “see those 2 boats”
“Yea”
“I have a idea but hear me out “
Sherman:
I'm a death trap....
Liberty Ship:
Thats cute honey
So this is basically a ship version of the Overlook Hotel
6:07 I don't know why but this terrified me
I heard from one guy about decommissioned ship being used for target practice. Took it a day to sink like the crew was doing was whatever it could to keep the ship alive and that he heard it screaming as she sank
Yeah probably just a stubborn ship being harder to sink than expected, the "screaming" was almost certainly just creaking metal
Do the Soviet two headed dog experiment. The real life Frankenstein.
That thing is scary
Wasn't there a movie with that? What was the Russian experiment trying to accomplish?
Imagine getting donated a cursed organ.
Wow that was a great video simple history. Keep up the good work.
