I've Known Jim McDonald since 2008. He was a WWII Veteran and quite the story teller! Jim Passed Away in San Diego, California in September 2019. RIP Jim McDonald.
Being a fellow Scot & an ex Merchant Seaman with the same name I felt I had to comment. My father was also in the MN during the war & was torpedoed 2 times. I have his seaman's record book which verifies the sinking's .His book was issued before Jims which started as R274.... my fathers was R130......Your video will remind the public of the sacrifices those men made in supporting the country & war effort.
Great quality and great episode. This is one of the few shows that aren't overly staged and shit... - no drama and shit that is staged - real men with real adventures. Thanks for uploading.
I just check your channel for more of these and this is the only upload you Got of the Odyssey Videos, to bad I was hoping for more. But Thanks for this one. Cheers
I remember in the late 50's thru the 60's the fleet of Liberty and Victory ships moored out in the Hudson River off Tompkins Cove ,in Rock land County NY. Used to paddle out to them(illegally)dam impressive. They have a monument to them there on Route 9.I know families of lost crewmen ,sunk during W W 2. Drove me to Merchant marine after the Army. On these ships men sailed into harms way,mostly with little defense.Iron Balls.
@@PRR5406 The guys from Orange County Chopper, Paul served in the Merchant Marine, some of these ships were in service during Vietnam War, and Paul wound up in Cam Rahn Bay. His family's company was one of the contractors on tearing down the ships.The sailors who crewed then during W W @ finally got some recognition at this years National Memorial day Observation in D.C. on P.B.S.
17:50 Cargo ship lands upside down and over time the hull collapses UNDER SEA PRESSURE. Does not work that way. Pressure is the same inside and out on a sunken wreck.
What I have a hard time with is side scan sonar shadows! Must be inferred by the machine or software as shadows are a characteristic of light! How do radio waves bounce off a lack of light?!
Sonar shadows are areas that ultrasound returns are blocked by some object. When converted to a visual image by software it appears as though the sonar emitter is the source of light.
I served on board a Liberty ship (USS Oxford AGTR 1). I saw no Liberty ships in this video. Is this a deliberate deception, or merely incompetence? Also, the music appears to be more important than the narrative.
"...an uncanny resemblance to a WWII aircraft carrier of a type called a flattop." Must have been written by a landlubber. All real sailors, both warship and merchant marine know that ALL aircraft carriers can be termed 'Flattops' due to the full length flight deck.
These guys got screwed on the whole Black Swan business. They should have just melted all of the silver and gold into blocks, then sold it as unidentifiable source metals. No one could know where it comes from, so there is no basis for any kind of claim.
Ollie Bommel I saw a program not sure which one it might have been Clive Cussler's Sea detectives I think anyways one or more of those ships was used in the atomic bomb experiments with a bunch of other ships in the south pacific
I watched a video saying there was only 3 liberty ships still around out of the thousands and I dunno what an American ships would be doing in Canada besides cargo sail boat or cruise ships
I went there , they were concrete hulls built in BC . In 63 on Midway there was on a reef, was told it was a water ship for the island . I don't think they were called Liberty ships maybe Victory ships?
Makes me a little more happy about the Titanic line of ships. [As mentioned by "Audacity HD", the Britannia] was lost from a mine when operating as a hospital ship. It is good to hear that it actually took out a U-Boat also! That might have been an upside down Liberty Ship, who's hull had rusted away, making it look a lot like a flattop. Too bad they did not have a chance to examine the cargo if any. [edited to correct ship name]
@@raybeer1181 It's usually where a video, that had a stereo or surround sound audio track, has been ripped off and incorrectly turned into something with mono sound. Only one audio channel is on this video, which happened to carry more music than speech.
So far, i've found using servos flooded with mineral oil, turning leadscrew as a linear actuator for the (2) 9-dof manipulators, and brushless motors for the thrusters (potted in epoxy with ceramic bearings), to be superior to hydraulics. The more complicated it is, the more there is to go wrong...
Oh my shit, All U.S. naval (fighting) vessels sunk during wartime is a standing grave, and under law are protected as such, however the liberty ships were not Naval (fighting) vessels, so they don't fall under the same protections. They were operated and manned by merchant marines, (civilian sailors).
" Jeff is a veteran submarine-er". A submarine-er???? What the hell is that? I suspect you mean 'submariner' as in the 'rime of the ancient mariner'? Good grief!
I think history is import to everyone. The more we know the better we can make statements based on fact rather than speculation. So I would think we have a broad base of people (not explorers alone) that are interested in historical facts.
I'm pretty sure they didn't get enough evidence to prove what Uboat that was and only proved in fact it was a Uboat. The narrator says it's because of the air intake that they prove its a WW1 Uboat because older Uboats needed air to run the engines but so did all but experimental WW2 Uboats. I can only assume they have a lot of real proof that just didn't make the tv program or they really didn't prove anything other than that was a Uboat.
From: "Not My Real Name". As with others, a waste of my time, as where is the rest of the show. As a Soldier, I really DO NOT like civvies who disturb &/or dive on military wrecks, as (to me), these wrecks are graveyards, & SHOULD NOT be disturbed. For example, how would you like me digging a slit trench where your loved ones are buried? Show respect, as not all the Sailors, Soldiers, etc., escaped the sinking of their respective ships, subs, & aircraft. Thoughts?
What are you talking about, they took nothing and reported the position to the German authorities so the relatives of the sailors that died in the wreck could be notified of the resting place of their loved one. How the hell is that salvaging from war graves, maybe you should actually watch the video instead of making stupid comments.

Streawth!
And I thought I'm old! And mine began UK....!
Incidentally my grandfather was torpedoed twice as well....Q ships...
This show needs to make a comeback!
Great quality and great episode.

Thanks for uploading.
Falmouth, CORNWALL. My beautiful home.. nice to see it in a documentary! Has the third natural deepest port in the world!!
Why must you lie

I remember them as well. Then piecemeal, each was hauled off either for scrapping or scuttling.

there's still gravity...
@@JaseCJay Roger that! No issue with gravity, specific or otherwise.

@@deandeann1541 so they're inferred by the software.. love the ghostly embiance it gives!
The Olympic sank a submarine? That’s amazing. I never knew that.

This would be my all time dream job being a Marine Engineer on the Odyssey Explorer
If you want to find more Liberty ships check out Powell River BC Canada There are about 8 of them still floating around being used as a breakwater.

Whoever produced this TV show's audio needs a 12 step program...
9mm
Zeus's needed a new flux capacitor
The MUZAK is too loud. It sometimes is too loud to hear the dialog. Re-edit and totally eliminate the unneeded MUZAK!
3 thumbs up.
its about time we have a show thats not set up.. im sick of theses shows,, keep it going treasure quest
3:52 the sound audio track is so loud at times, you cannot hear what the narrator is saying.

Gary Wheeler no the Britannia was lost due to a mine Olympic survived ww1 and was scrapped
@@audacityHD Oops, confused Olympic and Britannia. Sorry folks.
oke the fourth funnel on the olympic class ships was fake not the first
background music is too DAMN loud
YEAP TOO LOUD YOU TWATS
To quote someone else . and for the idiots who keep making the same mistakes " background music is too DAMN loud !!!! and unfinished?
Video is brilliant but why the stupid music it’s too loud and spoils the video 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@raybeer1181 It's usually where a video, that had a stereo or surround sound audio track, has been ripped off and incorrectly turned into something with mono sound. Only one audio channel is on this video, which happened to carry more music than speech.
Yet one more really interesting video with blasting background music overriding the dialogue. Why, why do you folks feel it necessary to do that??
Do the editors actually view the video prior to uploading it?
My guess is no, too much frigging background music which drowns out the commentary.
Yeah I’m always out in the English Channel karate chopping old U-boat wrecks, you have finally caught me, dam you odyssey marine...
Thanks del, I've stopped too 👍
The last thing I heard was; "With Zeus ready for action", and the video ended there ! Is there a part 2 or more ???
Interesting
spoilt by rock music. Silence is golden.
real adventure real tv this is what i like =)
One must not enter a ship where military personnel have served.
So far, i've found using servos flooded with mineral oil, turning leadscrew as a linear actuator for the (2) 9-dof manipulators, and brushless motors for the thrusters (potted in epoxy with ceramic bearings), to be superior to hydraulics. The more complicated it is, the more there is to go wrong...
WTF! This has nothing to do with Liberty Ships!
Look at how the title's illiterately written... always suspect.
So, no actual Liberties. U-103 was interesting though.
Wow Action packed! What color pants was the Captain wearing at the time of the sinking?
wasn't wearing any. it was one of THOSE subs
What ever color they were before they were hit, they were brown after that.
It's my guess that anything in those long sunken ships is ruined. Guns ruined and anything else.
The back ground music is too loud to hear the narrator
Background noise too loud!!
forground noise to mask voices.
music is so loud can not hear the voices.
Yes OK
Why you didn't notice the sounds in the video is not really good for the viewers.... How many videos u haven't realized that was not good enough.?
It be great if they could get rifles and pistols
I cannot hear fuck all with the never ending use of 'background' music!
HI JIM WE HAVE LIKE THAT IN MY PLACE IN PH.LUZON, WE CAN EXPLORE THAT. PLS SEND ME PM THANKS
Where's the rest of it?
WTH? Where's the rest of the video?
are the military vessels protected?
Oh my shit, All U.S. naval (fighting) vessels sunk during wartime is a standing grave, and under law are protected as such, however the liberty ships were not Naval (fighting) vessels, so they don't fall under the same protections. They were operated and manned by merchant marines, (civilian sailors).
" Jeff is a veteran submarine-er". A submarine-er???? What the hell is that? I suspect you mean 'submariner' as in the 'rime of the ancient mariner'? Good grief!
I've heard the word or title 'submariner' pronounced both ways by USN sub crewmen. I'm willing to let it slide. USN retired here.
Music!! What a F-----g curse.
Where are the Liberty ships?
What's the use of narrating when the f..... music is way too loud!!!?.
Why the fuck do they always say "cannon"?
The plural is CANNONS!
Goddamn that shit gets on my nerves...
6:20 thats clearly a ladder not Shells
or maybe shells in water tight containers
Cut the background noise
Take this down. Its only half the program
4:00 in, you win, I stop watching. Your freaking music is too damn LOUD!!!
Despicable grave thieves, they must be sent to jail !
What did they take?
They are not grave robbers they have took nothing and now German submariners family can now know where they lay
who the hell PAYS for this crap,,, and does it really matter to anyone outside the explorers ????

Forget what you were doing? Crappy ending lol
This was a fairly anti-climatic video.
Bet you wish you posted a follow up to this. Zzzzzz bummer dude, I even went to your channel and perused the list... I only found sadness.
I stopped at 8:24, can't the narrator (numerous times) with overkill music. Next time get it right, snapperhead!
Well that was 22 minutes waste of time...
content does not match title, Click bait
WHY the F... do you need screaming sounds all the time,I cant hear what the F.... speaker say!
clickbait
Who edited this shit?!
Turn your sound , shut up watch and learn and enjoy. Either that or go away.
Clickbait
just stopped watching . thank you
looks like salvaging from war graves. It sounds like grave robbing. thumbs down. not subscribing.
