"This is the sinking of the MV Twin Capes Ferry. She sunk at the Del-Jersey-Land Reef off the coasts of Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland. She was 26 nautical miles offshore in 120 feet of water. She will now become a huge artificial reef. The Coleen Marine crew did the sinking and we watched from the workboat."

Is it just me? It’s a strange feeling for an inanimate object and I find this incredibly emotional. She’s spent her entire life supporting her builders, passengers and crew in so many ways and even in death she’ll be supporting so much life. God bless her and thank you.
You get it. I agree
Yes i feel you.

The writing made me sad. “Welcome aboard!” will never welcome anyone again...
It will welcome divers and home to marine life. While its life above the water is over its takes on a new life under the water for a new purpose.
Except divers and sea creatures
Ye it's very sad to see this sinking ship for me I m shocked welcome aboard but never again bad luck of that ship
Wow what make me so sad
@@marcomacoy7714 I also feel sad to see this scene

They should film underwater to watch it go down that would look cool
On CZcams it was done by go pros youtube channel I think they attached cameras to one of these boats that was being sunken to create a artificial reef
Mason Cox *There are things called Waterproof cameras. We are living in 2019.*
For me it's scary idk why >.
Yes that would be cool and eerie at the same time. Seeing it drop and “float” in mid suspension as it sinks real weird and fascinating all at the same time. I think the sense of 3 dimensions kinda thing.
Και δεν μου το χαρίζετε!!!!!
Am i the only one who's a bit unsatisfied that it sank at the back of the boat?
No
No your not alone my friend
nope i think that too
I saw your comment before I even watched it and now I sort of don’t want to...

They did a superior job of cleaning the hulk - there did not seem to be a bit of oil or trash left floating!

It's a sad thing to watch a ship die........the leagues it traveled.....it's crew and their feelings.....must be hard!
I think it is totally respectful to watch it go down the way it did.
I used to think the same, until I thought, it's a large bit of metal and other things just going under a bit of water. Now I enjoy vids of sinking ships and things being destroyed a lot more.
@Some 1poisoned the water hole because it isnt a living thing is it. It's not feeling sad that its sinking or being destroyed. A bottle isn't scared or sad whether it gets recycled or thrown in a bin, same with a building or ship etc. If a ship sinks it still exists just under the water.
@Some 1poisoned the water hole but i do understand why you feel sad for em tho
@Some 1poisoned the water hole I'd understand sadness because of memories, that I do get, but it helps me to remember that a car/ ship/ building has no feelings or life.
I used to take this ship to our vacation spot every year until they decommissioned it, when I was little I would play in the dance hall ( the big square space on the top deck behind the wheel house)
Ok
I will never forget when I was 10 years old my mother and I were standing on the deck of this vessel and i was staring up in to the captains area watching him steer the ship. He motioned my mother and I up the steps and let me steer it for about 5 minutes.
Sorry, but that's illegal

Wish someone filmed it underwater using a gopro or something.

Claucius Fello they would have been crushed
Would be very interesting to see underwater footage of sinking.
You would see it if those water ship traces where not left behind.
I would like to be on that ship
I would imagine that sinking a ship correctly is on par with imploding a building correctly. The fish don’t mind if it’s upside down but the divers might.

These replies scare me
Not sure, I imagine all those nooks and crannies and railings and windows and doors are a much more appealing environment for a reef to form on then a smooth hull. Fish need holes to dive in to evade predators, predators need holes to look in for fish, coral needs surfaces it can latch onto to grow, etc etc.
NEMO HAS A NEW HOME
They made such a big deal of this vessel when it was refurbished(?). It was pretty nice, with food courts, elevators, sweeping staircases. I was on it one time quite by chance, and I thought it was unfair to the other passengers on the other ferries. If the whole fleet would have been like the Twin Capes, it would have been nice. But probably very expensive.
This was gutted, and properly cleaned before sinking to prevent polluting the water, and it was sunk to make an artificial reef. This will actually help sea life flourish in that area, not harm it.
go sniff some more cats there dum dum!!!! ITS STEEL!!!!!! it corrodes and is hardly sea safe! put a piece of steel in a glass of salt water,,, leave it for a while and see what it does to the water......and the paint,,, there is surely oil debris, fuel,,the tanks are built in, stick to sniffing cats there dumbass!
@@jayson1134 do you realize just how much of a palsy you sound like?
But, they cheaped out by not blowing holes in the hull to have a controlled scuttling.....
In that case, I think it's a ferry good idea.
@stephen doing Well if they need to call someone to do any blowing they have your number.
What a waste of a good party boat ⛵
They couldn’t use that ferry boat because it couldn’t be used on salt water, they sold it but nobody would purchase it so they really had no other choice but to sink it
😂 party boat 😂
Excaly I said the same thing! Could of been brought
Yes it is
The fish now have a new home
Imagine This Was Used For A Movie, And Then The Movie Is Done So They Sink It
Ship: sinks from behind
Random kid: wait that’s illegal
im ok with ships that sink from the back tbh
It's scary watching an ocean swallow a huge ship whole like that! Especially that size of a ship. And it going down so fast
I may have ridden on that very boat. I had a couple of occasions to ride the ferry from Cape May to Lewes and return back in the 1979-1981 time range.
" You Sunk My Battleship "
LOL
Vessels make dying sounds too.
It’s a shame they don’t show it sinking and hitting the sea bed. That’s if it’s within a reasonable dept
They are NOT polluting. All fuel, oil, rubber, etc. is stripped off the ships before they're sunk.
When your playing storm works and your friends presses "Scuttle"
🤣
I want that game!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 and btw i like stormworks i play it almost all the time
Me to @@journeythroughtherails5294
This was the biggest ferry the Cape May - Lewis had, they would serve dinners and evening cruises. I wondered what happen to her now I know. It always looked like a good boat, but saltwater must of made her untrust worthy of time. I have been joy riding the ferries since being a kid, wife and I still ride once a year and look forward to being on the bay.
That was really cool. How long before she hits bottom?
I used to love taking her (or one just like her) from Cape May to Delaware. She will live on in my memory. In any weather it was always an awesome trip.
I’m convinced that watching ships sink is an addition
It's very scary and sad to see a ship is going down.
They could make a hotel, restaurant or a shelter for homeless at the beach, or they could make other things from its craps recycling
They made an underwater home
Or they could fix the ocean
@@help3102 exactly
It is expensive to maintain a ship or boat being used as such
aw man this is great!
Im up in New Castle so would never experience this up here
Used to go on this ferry a lot as a kid to New Jersey. Wow the memories

Shutter noise of a photographer

Lol
amazing ship
It was a controlled sinking procedure ..
Before these ships are sunk as reefs they undergo an extremely thorough cleaning and removing contamination inside and out. The reason they're sunk rather than sold for scrap is 1)there are no shipbreaker yards in the US. 2)shipbreaking is very expensive and with scrap metal so far down it's not profitable. 3)since there's no breaker yards in the US they're sent to countries with little to no EPA regulations so all the contaminants are dumped directly into the ocean. So after these large vessels have outlived their useful service this is the cleanest way and let the hull continue to serve a purpose for years. There are videos of the extensive decontamination the USS Oriskney had to undergo before being sunk off the coast of Florida.
Veteran Lowboy Driver : ever heard of Brownsville Texas?
@@jimsonbrown9768 I have not.
I wonder how long there were bubbles after the titanic sank, that was a huge ship, a lot of air to be displaced
#1; Where are all of the spectators? Other scuttlings I've seen were surrounded by dozens to hundreds of boats. #2; any follow up showing orientation on the sea bed? #3; what depth? #4; location? If it's shallow enough, this would be an interesting dive spot. #5; who decides what and where scuttling holes are placed? Engineers? It would seem that knowledgeable people could have had the ship sinking fairly level 🤔
I don’t know why but In my head I was listening to “my heart will go on” while watching this
Queria saber por q afundar.
Será q não da para aproveitar os ferros algo assim.
Look at the positive side tho fish got a new apartment building to live in
For us real estate prices are only on the rise while for fish it just sinks.
I have really never seen a ship go up side down other then Poseidon and MV estonia
For some reason I find this very satisfying to watch.
Hey whats that noise are you eating and seeing the big boat sinking?
Sounded like a camera maybe they were also taking pictures

At about 4:33 looks like she hits the bottom & basically stops sinking for a short time before becoming unbalanced and tipping over & down. This is in ways very similar to the Oceanos cruise ship sinking.
Her message is Welcome Aboard she served the people on top of the ocean and know will serve all the marine life on the bottom of the ocean, goodbye and thank you for your service.
aww, I worked on that vessel. Farewell!
I know I rode it several times back in the day

@@Inactivo276 They turn into coral reefs. And fish love sunk ships because they can hide in them from predators

“Welcome aboard!”
Not allowed, go overboard.
the sound of ship is terrible 😢 sounds like crying
I know if i become president of the United States i will ban stuf like this doo u agree
@@Bob-mj5hf its actually good for the environment it helps make coral reaves. Its also a good fate for the ship, it would have gotten scrapped but now it will live on and help the environment. Also so its not toxic it goes through a very deep cleaning.
I know thta its pretty old ferry but they just lose money, I think better thing to do could be give that ferry to someone with competition, cause like if they could donated that ship to me I could start ferry bussines which is my very big dream. My english is fuckind bad so sorry if you didnt understand anything :D
I went on that ferry once very nice ship
Sinks just like titanic......
Sadly it didn't split into two😝😝
the Titanic sank bow first not stern
And she didn't capsize. This I think did
Ya nothing like titanic
Its 2 shorts 2 split in half
Nobody knows how it sank ok so shut up
Real footage of Titanic Sinking (now colorized)
That's not Titanic, the Titanic is big but this is small,the Titanic has a big crack but this boat has no crack and the Titanic is a ship that sinks like a person diving in slow motion.
no name , this is a joke. Do you wanna get the r/woooosh?
@@noname-yi1vt the Titanic spit completely in half and landed in two different places like a couple hundred metres apart and well the bow does have an expansion joint which is a huge crack from the right side to the left where the back of the bow came down and split it open a bit and the part further toward of that plus the weight of the water above it pushed it down if you mean the expansion joint that is
Well I guess its time to do another r/whoooosh

жалко(((((
Also did yall notice the ship behind the Twin Capes? That vessel most likely did not see the ship, as it looked so tiny.
I quite agree Andre it’s almost majestical.
What a shame it had to go 😔 it was my favorite ferry of them all. I just wish it could ride on salt water
It should because without it fishes would die boats that sink can be transformed into reefs
@@KiwiKiwf english please
It did ride in saltwater. The mouth of the Delaware Bay is salt, not fresh water
At least something got wet today
Just watching this makes me think of the episode of Tugs when O.J. sank the ferry
WOW HD GRAPHICS
This happened the day after my birthday oh my God
Oh poor you, must be so tough for you!
I have seen plenty of these intentional ship sinkings, but no one filmed from underwater. Is it too risky doing such a thing? It would be great to watch how the ships go down and place themselves on the sea bed.
It probably would be pretty dangerous to film from beneath. Might come down on top of you. And it may go down pretty fast. Maybe follow it on a sonar unit. But there may be too many bubbles.
Actually, I was thinking of lowering some HD camera(s) from one of several the "witness" boats that surround the sinking one.
Oh, I thought that - at least near the surface - there would be a chance of watching the ships as they (start to) do down
Do a CZcams search. You will find hundreds of such videos. OMG.
I once saw a sinking boat video that the boat had cameras inside. After the ship reached the bottom the cameras were retrieved.
Bienvenido al barco..Que lindo bucear ahi
Well, at least she was courteous to the end. Even welcomed the water that took her to the bottom. So polite.
That thing looked like, brand new😂 why was it sunk?
People sink ships to create artificial reefs, in other words, a home for marine life!
Sam Sam yeah but, wouldn't you wanna do that with and obsolete. Decommissioned ship
@@bricestarcher3636 Good maintenance including a recent paint job can make a tub look like a cruiser.
It was actually 40ish years old
She was dangerous. If you look at her and compared it to the other ferries that run between Cape May and Lewes Del, her superstructure is much larger. This did this to add luxury without adding power or steering. This made her "sail" in even a moderate breeze and difficult to control when docking. She wound up hitting the rocks that protect the Ferry Terminals several times. She was a death trap waiting to happen
A deeply unsatisfying video. no commentary, what caused it to sink?
Due to decreased ridership, they tried to sell her. They just retired her.
They sank it on purpose to create a home for sealife.
@@devonsmith8688 but how did they sink her? Open some valves?
@@DrDiff952 I think(not sure) that it has some ballast tanks that can be opened,but idk,just a theory
What was it's attitude after it settled? Upright? Listed? Upside down? On a side?
Liked it when it cap sized on the side and went upside down
"it was the last time Titanic ever saw daylight"..
Don't they have, like, professionals in charge of these sinkings? Guys who's job it is to figure out how to sink it so it lands upright?
It sinks vertical but will straighten out once bow/stern hits bottom
It doesn’t have to.
It doesn’t need to be upright...
Gage Westerhouse It doesn't need to land upright, it just has to sink.
Yeah, you have to blow a couple holes in the bottom, stem and stern, so it will settle upright, otherwise, the heavy superstructure will always roll and capsize the boat. It's more fun, more accessible, and safer to explore an upright vessel, I've found. If it's upside down, it's dark and less accessible.
I love all boats. Especially when they sink
thank you
You do realize that putting some go pros in it would have been a lot cooler
Very depressing to watch!
Its not depressing at all, the old ship dies to give the corals somewhere to grow and the fish a home. The ship lives on even tough it’s not traveling the seas anymore.
@@emilkumpula4843 I guess, but it's like seeing a downed motorcycle on the side of a road.... It's just not natural. But the artificial reef will help.

Be so nice to have an underwater camera on the ship as it goes down and one watching underwater from a distance. Since it was known when it would happen it could have been set up.
