- In this video, I head out searching for a German Shipwreck sunk in mysterious circumstances over 100 years ago. The SS Kunstmann
Nestled off the rugged coast of Northumberland, the SS Kunstmann shipwreck holds a captivating blend of history, mystery, and maritime intrigue. This storied wreck is not just a relic of the past but a site that invites curiosity and exploration.
The remains of the SS Kunstmann lie off the coast of Goswick Beach, a serene and less-trodden stretch of Northumberland’s coastline. The wreck is about 200 meters from the shore, making it accessible to experienced divers. Even for non-divers, a stroll along Goswick Beach offers a glimpse into the maritime history hidden beneath the waves.
The SS Kunstmann shipwreck is more than just a sunken ship; it’s a gateway to history, mystery, and adventure. From its construction in Hamburg to its dramatic final voyage and the lingering rumours of wartime intrigue, the SS Kunstmann’s story continues to captivate. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a diving aficionado, or someone looking for an exciting exploration, the SS Kunstmann shipwreck in Northumberland offers an unforgettable experience. Dive in and uncover the secrets of this fascinating underwater relic!
I battled against the tide and weather and even discovered something quite sad. Was the effort worth it?

My boots: Sorry for the cliffhanger...
I backtracked to the boat and followed my fading footsteps to where I placed my boots on the sand. It was a couple of hundred yards further up the beach. I called the wife to come and pick me up. As I called here, my phone battery went flat. 😁😁
@@GaryGough
And you forget to charge your phone too I think it's time to bring a external battery charger with you I have one for my bike packing camping needs not only does it charge my phone it charges a few other smaller batteries like my headlamp and in a pinch it will at least charge one battery for my camera
Great video and beautiful photos. I couldn't help myself thinking, "Tie your boots together and hang them from your backpack."
Glad you found your boots and didn’t get cut off by the tide . Know you were hurried but your creativity worked well. Enjoyed the video. S
Glad to hear the boots are found. And you are ok. Open flat beach land like where you were can be very disorienting. Next time a compass maybe. We have all done it in that kind of situation.
@@GregBrammah Hahaha, think we was all shouting that.....doh
Thanks for taking us along. That was an exciting day out, but worth it. You wouldn't catch me doing that, I'm not 6 foot 4, can't swim, and over 80. You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din.
lol Cheers Ron 👍👍
Brilliant Gary. You are absolutely bonkers but what a journey! Never wrote any comment on here before, but this definitely deserves praise. 🥾🥾
Thank you David 👍👍
Your videos are so engaging it’s not just the tech side and the images but the story telling it’s like you’re just talking to your mate
You are my m8 Les 😂👍👍 I’m glad it comes across like it. Cheers 👍
The trouble you go to for your shots - amazing but well worth it. Spectacular.
Thanks Julie 👍👍
Brilliant Gary your absolutely bonkers in the nicest possible way
😁😁 Cheers
Fantastic video as always! 👏 Thanks for sharing Gary
Congratulations on 100k subs!!
You make my day with this one. You mignt not intend it to be a funny video but it was the funnyest one you have made.
dancing by the shipwreck sand dune to sand dune wait a minute wheres my boots wheres my boots !! hope you found them !! brilliant video with brilliant finds along the way would !! an ariel view with a drone would crown it !!
Couldn’t fly the drone, it’s nesting season and I was on a nature reserve. Cheers 👍👍
You have a lot of balls my good man. Photos were well worth your effort.
Thank you 👍👍
You truly are a story teller extraordinaire. Your videos are inspiring & I so look forward to seeing your adventures Gary. Please keep them coming 👌 Amazing images as always. 👏👏
You always provide an adventure! This was a fantastic way to start my day! Thanks for taking me along!
Cheers Randy 👍👍
Gary wow wow wow amazing, i can not believe you had such amazing (sad) luck... To see that poor whale but the image would of been so unique, the tractor was so cool..
Hi Gary. Once again a fantastic vlog. I love your passion for your photography. And it always shows in your photos. But you have some balls taking the risk with all that camera gear and the tide 😮. But you can’t leave us all hanging like this about your boots haha. 👍🏼😂🤣. Keep them
Coming mate.
Thanks 👍
I backtracked to the boat and followed my fading footsteps to where I placed my boots. It was a couple of hundred yards further up the beach. I called the wife to come and pick me up. As I called here, my battery went flat on my phone 😁😁
😄 What a great video!
The one thing I definately recognised was the 'middle aged man hopping about trying to not get your socks wet on the beach' sketch. Brilliant!
Oh, and the photos were pretty good, too...
lol 😁😁
Wow ! you had me worried there Gary . but stunning shots.
Great video and love those images, inspirational.
On a serious note I'm assuming that trip was not completely off the cuff , there must have been planning regarding tides and knowledge of that beach. ?
It would be quite a risk to head out there on your own without planning and people watching this might follow your lead.
Stunning work as always
Love the episode. The chase after the shipwreck. Haunted by the high tide in the water. Could really feel your stress just watching this episode. Thank you for let us go with you in this photo adventure. Good work Gary.
Cheers 👍👍
I loved this Gary, watched loads of your stuff in the past. I know Goswick beach well and didnt know of the wreck but recognised where you were straight away. Keep doing what you do mate great stuff. (little hint. hang your boots round your neck and take them with you. Or carry 2 bin bags and a roll of electricians tape then you can keep your boots on and shrouud them from the water.) Cheers Alan R
Great video and photos Gary 👍. I find its always a hard to choose between boots and wellies . Cant believe you left your boots on the beech 😳lucky you found them could of been a painful walk back without them . Would of been like walking on lego down that track 🤣.
Awesome pictures aside ( as always ) , one of the most entertaining videos yet. Your enthusiasm is contagious and great to watch. Top drawer again.
I was watching this smiling and laughing all the way, as that is just the kind of conundrum I always find myself in, hehe
I have to say your entire vlog had me on the edge of my seat, I was convinced the tide would come in behind you. It looks a stunning location, such a shame you didn't have more time.
I've never headed to the comments so fast to find out if you found your boots😅 next time tie them to your bag by the laces. 😅
Recipe for disaster there Gary ! Well done though, super video and photographs - Like to take a look at that 1-400mm lens though 😆
Cliff hanger ! Did you find them? Great video!
My boots: Sorry for the cliffhanger...

unreal!!!!!!!....i'm Glad i use you for my inspiration!!!!!
lol Cheers 👍👍
A terrific adventure - and great images!
Cheers Steve 👍👍
If anyone ever dare question your committment then surely this more than answers any concerns! Gary is the man if it's a difficult/treacherous to attain image! Fair play and great images Sir. Top film. PS re the tractor, do you think she'll start, lol.
Mad as a box of frogs you are Gary 😅 I forsee another visit for you ....mark your boots with a big red flag next time 😉
Images right up my street, minimal with lots of negative space....nice one Gary 👌
Thanks Lynne. Hope you’re well?
Brilliant
Cheers Phil
Hey, Gary. Where is that lovely mountain bike you showed us a while back. You sure could have made use for it on this adventure.
Brilliant , mad as a Pidgeon. Hope you found your boots ! Keep the madness coming Rich.
Cheers Rich 👍👍
You're crazy and amazing!
Thank you
You are crazy gary, but love the fun and enthusiasm to put in your videos, and photos were ace, especially the tractor
Took a break from photography for a while as my eyesight was deteriorating and had got very poor. I have Kerataconus and was struggling as a PMD was taking the clarity from my good eye, which has a graft in. Now have Scleral contacts and can see again. Have missed your videos, learnt so much from past videos. Got a lot to catch up on. Lots of photos to take...... bring it on
Thats a first in all the Photo vlogs watched; photographer cant find his boots ! Looking forward to Part 2 ;)
Cheers Duncan
GET IN 100K and you didn't drown! Fantastic video pal, one of your best, out of interest what size feet are you hahahaha
lol Cheers my great friend xx
Gary it's just occurred to me there is an event that you would love and that you must photograph at least once in a lifetime and that is the bi-annual Fastnet race which takes place from the Isle of Wight, the next race is July 2025, it is at the end of Cowes week, the culmination being the Fastnet race. Honestly if you want drama and seascape combined it really is the ultimate with enormous potential for stunning photography. It entails staying on the island for a week or so for the best photographic opportunities. You have plenty of time to do some research and trust me you don't have to be a sailing fanatic but it is a stunning event especially for someone like you who enjoys seascapes so much. I reckon your wife would love it too, the island has much to offer! The whole of Cowes week and the start of the Fastnet race are photographically a truly epic opportunity to produce outstanding photography. Just an idea for you. We are going without fail! Cheers.
This was a fun video. Good you found your boots 😅
Thanks Sharon 👍👍
Great video as always Gary, I hope you found your boots !! ... I photographed this wreck in 2017 & we parked a fair bit closer, but yeah it was still a long trek across the sand.
It would be interesting to see how much has disappeared since you took some pictures.
Brilliant video. Don’t you get excited?
What a great find those shots are awesome but you always give us a laugh one way or another. Where's my boots 😂
Cheers

As Nancy Sinatra said. These Boots Are Made For Walkin! Haha. Excellent video as alway's Gary.
Always fun to watch your video`s, you insphire me to get out (but yet have to do so) with my camera. Congrats on 100k subs!
Kind of you to say. For the record, you're the first to notice the subs. THANK YOU xx
Gary,the last full length video I watched was you at the Mach Loop and I thought,"WOW!,this guy is passionate about photography, I didn't realise "how" passionate 👍👍
Passianonate and daft 😁😁
Great video as usual Gary, 😅 your laugh is as infectious as your photography, and please tell what happened the boots 😅😅
Cheers 😁😁

That was like journey to the centre of the earth. Something different on every sand bank and water pool. Loved it. I know you’ll be back. Maybe you’ll find your boots in five years 🤣🤣🤣
lol Cheers 👍👍
That Kept me Watching Was Gripped Well done buddy hope you found your Boots in the End

Your new trail name is Gary “can’t find my boots” Gough
Shipwrecks, seascapes, mountains, jets at the Mach loop or dead whales…. You just never know what you’re going to get in a GG video. 😂😂😂👍🏼
Best comment in a long time 😂😂
Pretty sure that area does have problems with sinking sand mind. You need to be bloody careful out there on your own like! Fascinating video though, I have heard about the wreck but I've never seen it or had any idea just how far out it is.
I loved the adventure and the photos. But, please tell us if you found your boots?
lol Cheers

Great Shots Gary - BUT why oh why didn't you take that amazing e bike of yours just the thing to sort that long trot !
Pete
I was camping close by with the wife and the bike won't fit in the van with all her glamping gear :)
😂 cracking (I think I would’ve tied me boots to the bag tho 😅)
Amazing hike Gary, I think definitely worth the effort with amazing results. Sad about the whale, hopefully it had a good life. I think I've seen your boot's floating down my local river 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks 👍 😁😁
Good video I liked watching it. Do you actually go out on your own or do you have other photographers to go with you and just stay in the background PS watch out for snapping turtles
All on my own David 👍👍
definitely worth the effort of getting there. I wouldn't have been able to resist taking a pic of the whale. Hope you found the boots
Cheers

As well as some beautiful photos, I got a good laugh out of the video. Did you find your boots?
Great pics and a long trek back, with or without the boots?😂😂😂
Cheers
Awesome video again Gary hope you found your boots. I was looking at the link on your gear for the Timer/Intervalometer - Camera Remote Control Cable for your Nikon Z8, when you click the link it takes you to canon photo paper 🤔.
Link updated, thank you. amzn.to/4bftCRz
I'd imagine that tractor must have been there to drag small boats out to sea, and must have got stuck in quick sand and just left there for all these years, its amazing that its lasted this long out in the salty air
It looked pretty incredible. It was the last thing I expected to see :)
I thought planting the poles in the sand with a boot on top of each would solve that issue..I’m half way through the vid but enjoying the dilemma so far😂
Yep, that would have made more sense :)
Have you thought that tractor might have been left years ago by another landscape photographer trying to beat the tide and photo the wreck 😊 great video Gary your enthusiasm and dedication is amazing .. did you find your boots ??
Thank you xx

I was thinking perhaps sticks your walking poles in the sand and put your puts upside down on the top of them so they could be seen when you were heading back and kept dry from the rain. Hope you located them in the end. If you ever find yourself in South Ayrshire, give me a shout as there is a ship wreck here that becomes visible at low tide and would be right up your street Gary, plus its not a tricky to get to as the one you just captured. Loved the images too, the effort certainly justified the results
Cheers Scotty xx
The 'sugar boat' wreck, the Captayannis lies on its side in the Clyde estuary, visible from shore. Might be worth a shot if you're passing.
It's a monster of a boat wreck. Thank you
very funny but absolute nutter, in a great way.
Not only sinking sand, but also potentially unexploded land mines in the dunes (which there’s signs for. And defo can get cut off by the tides.
Well, did you find your boots? As we say in these parts, 'a right nutter!' Never mind elf and safety, or a risk assessment! A truly great story and video, is there another of you walking or hobbling back?😀 Looking forward to a potential revisit at low, low tide!😀
well well well am from Northumberland and didn’t know about this wreck guess where I will be heading for a sun rise later in the year (when it’s at a more acceptable time) 😅
cracking shots as per
OH and welcome to gods country big G 👍
lol I didn't realise Northumberland was in Wales 😁😁
@@GaryGough 😂😂😂😂😂😂
“Its just me and a dead whale” 😂😂😂
OMG did you find your boots? I won't sleep today. I hope that next time we will find out how it turned out with them. Great video!
lol Cheers

@@GaryGough I'm glad everything went well 😊
Gary buy a pair "o" waders min.. Seriously don't think I would have been that far out... Do you have the Coast Guard on speed dial.... Take care Sir.. Keep up the great work...
Cheers Gordon 👍👍
A great watch with stunning images :-) Does anyone wat to buy a pair of boots LOL
Awesome video exquisite photography
But dude you should have just taking your boots with you You show just kept them on see you on the flip side
It wouldn't have been as exciting :)
Brilliant video, superb pics Gary - but why didn't you tie your boots to your backpack - would have been my worst nightmare leaving them there, with my luck there would have been some joker come along and nick them...!! (is that what happened to yours....??!! 🤣)
Cheers :)

I've just started watching this one and just have to say that you need to either adjust the backpack or get an adult one because that can't be doing your back any good having it that tight around your shoulders like that. My back is screaming out to your back with support ha ha. Only thinking of your health and well being. Also the strap across your neck must hurt like hell when you are walking. Now on with the show. lol
Ohhhhhh nooooo you've lost ya boots !!
You will definitely have to go back on the next available really low tide and follow the tide out you may even see more off the wrecks and even the whale will still be there !!
May take a while to get right tide though unless the tides are lowering more now each day !!
Good luck with finding the boots or the drive home may be a bit painful.
Being a big lumux, everything I wear looks awkward :) It's perfectly fine but thanks for having my back, not a pun, honest!
Well, that's dedication for you (or madness). Perhaps you should have dropped a map pin to help you navigate back to your boots 🤣🤣🤣. Anyway, great images again.
I think that NIKON should make King of mirrorless with APC. What would be your opinion?
A mirrorless camera cropped? If that's what you mean, they do!
For me the tractor beat the shipwreck hands down; it was much more interesting.
Agree 👍👍
I would have turned around. There is always another day and safety comes first. You’re very courageous, Gary! For the sake of your family take someone else with you in future! And next time, tie your boots together and loop them around your belt or your neck.😊 A thriller of a video, Gary!🇦🇺
Alas poor Gary Gough, all they found were his boots. 😁 Seriously you ought to take a mate with you on a trip like that, just in case. If you don't return one day we might be forced to watch Heaton. 🤣
If you come across dead dolphins, wales you are asked to report your findings. 👍
Yeah, but I'm not sure who to?
A nice video Gary…but I was really hoping to hear you attempt to pronounce the name of that shipwreck 😂
Good video. Just one note on the thumbnail - the German Empire's flag in 1913 looked different from today's Republican flag - it was Black-White-Red. And yes, I'm German.
Oh cool. Every day is a school day 😁😁 I just Googled it, it's so different. 👍👍
I tie my boot s to bottom of camera bag using the lace,s I also hang my wellies,s when needed on a bunge around my neck ,it's probably two years since we walked out to try and find this wreck just saw top as tide was still to high .
Know its not for eveyone, but did you take any photos of the whale. I know youll not show them if you did. Suggest you lace your boots together and tie them to your camera bag next time. Was fun though watching the end of the video.
Google maps drop a pin where you left your boots so you could atleast get close to them . On mine I have lots of locations on there tagged with drop pins so I know where to go for certain locations and I leave notes on there for like sunrise or sunset or foggy location. Just a idea. Or look at some of the video and see if you could find where you was. Or next time tie your shoes to your backpack and take them with you.
Did you ever find your boots?
My boots: Sorry for the cliffhanger...
I backtracked to the boat and followed my fading footsteps to where I placed my boots on the sand. It was a couple of hundred yards further up the beach. I called the wife to come and pick me up. As I called here, my phone battery went flat. 😁😁
I was thinking that you would leave the walking poles standing in the mud with a cleaning cloth blowing in the wind! I knew this was not going to work out very well!!!! Great photos!!!
lol That sounds too sensible to me 😁😁
I would of gone with boots on! Wet boots better than no boots.
Tie your bloody boots to your bag !!!!
Makes sense now :)
Well what a cliff hanger. Lost boots, no reveal of them legs like you did in the Lake District. However, the most important thing is you got the shots you went for. It was all well worth it in the end.I would have tied my boots as near the top my back packas possible. I would have put my socks in my pack, but there see a womens logic. Well done you are a brave man Sir.
Yep, I'm a man! enough said 😁😁
Thanks Nicky xx
A whale of a time!
lol
😂😂 Did you find them or did they float away?

and that´s why one has a gps tracker on, even one of those with an emergency call fidus ;) Just sayin. Hope you could track yourself back to your boots.

Nail biting stuff worrying will the tide turn and how fast it’ll travel in, I hope you had something to use as a flotation aid in your rucksack. Next time tie your boot lace’s together and hand them round your neck, comedy gold nonetheless!
Half the video is about walking and talking 👟 and socks 🧦 off before the photographic shot lot of time wasted
It was a build up and characterises a day out with camera in tow, I think Gary did say that he wasn't sure how the scene would turn and whether even to publish the vlog, personally I thoroughly enjoyed it! There's a saying.....“After a day's walk, everything has twice its usual value” I think that's very true!
