I helped with getting in the way for a few days. I could spot the ladder too. Filmed in 2017 threw me back. Days seem to drag while years fly by. Great movie Kert. Thank you.
As a (1940's thru) 1950's Naval Aviator's son I was very fortunate to be one of those photographing the HUP's crane lift aboard IOWA, as a PBC volunteer. Somewhat of a nail-biter seeing such a rare and historic object so high off the deck. The helicopter graveyard at the very end is sobering. It's duplicated too many places for all forms of aviation.
this man is one of the few people around who saw the Yamato in action. What's really sobering is that Yamato was only engaging Hoel with her *secondary* battery of 6.1 and 5 inch guns, Gambier Bay on the other hand got the attention of the infamous 18 inch guns, including the hit that put Gambier Bay out of action.
Didn't see the B2 . But I did see the B1 on your video . I was there . Paid 50 at last minute for a ticket . Was so drenched getting through security . Hard to believe it's almost been 20 years . The whole town was talking about John Travolta at the McDonald's that week 😳 .
I have a project I’ve been working on for over 15yrs myself it’s not a train but a 1/10 scale version of a US Military 5 ton truck complete scratch built from brass copper and aluminum. I know the feeling of thinking over a process for weeks before finally executing the plan. Your train is absolutely beautiful and you deserve all the exposer for all your patience and sticktuitiveness!!
I fought along with USS Hoel DDG-13, during the Vietnam War, named after the same man. Only now did I know this from watching this video. I did not know of the first USS Hoel DD-533 until now. Nor did I know that she was sunk during WWII. My father was a WWII Veteran. Greatest generation ever!
No argument from me! Taffy 3 attacked the Japanese battleships and actually got them to retreat because the Japanese Admiral thought he had run into the main USN battlegroup. Fucking BALLS!
Provavelmente foi isso que aconteceu em 1903, Orville Wright deu de cara na areia, já que o Flyers pesava com o piloto 340kg, e o motor sem potencia de apenas 12HP. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk Santos Dumont início aviação em 1906, na frente da comissão científica, impresa e testemunhas!
Thanks for adding to the discussion. In my opinion, the folks at the Centennial made a huge mistake by not building the 1905 (or better, the 1908 Flyer that the Wrights demonstrated to the US Army at Ft. Myer). The Wrights made considerable progress in the two years after the first flight in December 1903: From Encyclopedia Britannica: During the 1905 season the Wrights further developed a catapult launch system designed to overcome the problem of taking off in the light winds prevailing at Huffman Prairie. A 1,400-1,600-pound (635-725-kilogram) weight was pulled to the top of a derrick at the rear of the launch rail. A half-inch line ran over pulleys at the top and bottom of the derrick, down the length of the rail, over another pulley, and back to the airplane, where it was attached to a quick-release clamp. When the weight was dropped, the airplane sped down the track and into the air. By October 1905 the Wrights were circling Huffman Prairie in flights of a half-hour’s duration.
@@kaviski1 A contribuição dos Wright para aviação só veio no ano de 1908. Dois anos depois do vôo pioneiro de Santos Dumont. Em 1908, Santos Dumont já tinha voado, Henry Farman, Leon Delagrange e Glee Curtis. Tanto que oficialmente os Wright foram os 8 no MUNDO. Mostrar uma foto sem data 5 anos depois dos fatos junto com um telegrama escrito pelos próprios Wright não prova nada. Tudo o que os Wright alegam que fizeram entre 1903 a 1907 não existem provas sérias!
Flávio Farias --You’ve previously claimed that a 12 HP engine was too weak to put the 1903 Flyer into the air, but you’ve never produced the necessary calculations to support that claim. Your latest comment shows that you’re still unwilling, or unable, to provide the necessary evidence.
And that's why MuseumShips is here; To create awareness, and a better understanding of the diffculties faced by museum ships in general. Nothing lasts forever, but together we try to come close!
Was involved with a museum team trying to save the James Whalen icebreaking tug that you mention in this video. Sadly we were not able to get her in time although she has been raised at a cost of 800K earlier this month The work museum ship teams do to keep their ships afloat is nothing short of incredible. Great video.
Can not save them all. Pretty much every location acquired such ships out of emotion without a realistic and detailed projection of what such an undertaking entails.
I'm a tour guide at your sistership, New Jersey, but I'm also an engineering student at Drexel University. The more I work on the ship, the more I realize that I could use my engineering degree to help keep these ships afloat and around. I haven't decided on a career path, as I'm a few years away from graduating, but giving tours on New Jersey, I think I might have some idea on where I want to go. Well done and a fantastic video
Thanks for watching. Pay close attention to the problems and solutions New Jersey faces. Learn how to repair/maintain steel hull ships. A very lucrative and worthwhile career awaits you in the Merchant Marine! Have you considered California Maritime Academy?
@@kaviski1 No, like most college kids, I entered Drexel with one career idea, and it evolved and changed. I'm still unsure fully, but at least I have an option that I'd love to do, keep a tab on all doors and that. I'm determined to finish Drexel
My brothers great uncle 1/c Raymond Bruner was on the uss hoel. He and Francis Stetler were the only survivors out of their group. They ended up being picked up by natives and taken care of for 16 days before being rescued. I never met him as he passed away a long time ago.
I'm just speechless. I couldn't come up with enough superlatives to describe this locomotive. Detailed right down to the nameplate on the boiler! Wonderful!
Reid, this is 1/&” scale to the foot. The only plans I’m aware of are the ones in Live Steam magazine and the Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette. Out of print I’m sure. But you might find something on line. I believe there have been small live steam versions sold too in a smaller scale, potentially suitable for G.good luck.
It was a joy to know Lyle for many years. And it was many years before I learned he was an Indianapolis survivor. He and Mary were wonderful people. I assume this was recorded long before 2019, because we lost them both quite a few years ago. Thanks Kaviski 1 for preserving his story.
Hi. Thanks for watching. I believe I interviewed Lyle in 2014 or 2015. It has been my honor to meet and talk with so many from my parents' generation- the greatest generation. What will they say about us?
@@kaviski1 wow, I think we lost Lyle not long after that. By that date his wife Mary was already gone. Thanks for doing this. I hope to spend more time watching your videos in the future.
Such a great historical piece, so we never forget "what it took", and all those involved. I even see myself at the Harbor Commission meeting 2:49 ! Excellent presentation!
My Dad survived this storm aboard the USS Laws, a Fletcher Class Destroyer. They had one screw disabled with a broken strut Captain Wood was credited with saving the ship and its crew.
Nice, thx for posting. So much work on every level. Here's a little edit I put together when she was in Richmond: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OYFjARkGDpo.html
Geschmackloser gehts nicht. Gelächter und völlig unpassende Musik. Musette-Stimmung statt Ehrfurcht und Respekt vor den Toten. Ich schäme mich für diese beiden unsensiblen Zeitgenossen! Pfui Teufel!
I have not seen one fly. I think they are just too old and rare. Several restoration projects are well-documented, but not one features a flyable HUP-2 as a result of the effort.
