ActuAlly he's bold voice is perfect for this crAzy events I just hAte the moose goofing up it looks like they're a kid show showing sinking ships as just
Yep I’ve dove several of these, and witnessed one sink. I was an advanced diver in Tampa where I traveled to they key islands often, there’s quite a few of them there.
Thanks for that I had to check twice as he was talking like I am sure them holes all over the side of the ship had something to do with it. And has the fact everything has been stripped from it
The holes are cut for TWO reasons ... to speed up the sinking process, and to allow access for fish and divers. BOTH the ships I served on in the Royal Australian Navy were sunk as dive wrecks/artificial reefs, (one while I was still serving, the second a decade after I left), so I know the process.
I love that the commentator states that the USS Radford was used by the US Army. Last time I checked, the US Navy uses destroyers, not the US Army. This is not the first video from Factsopedia that contains a blatant factual error. The editor needs to go.
An army ship would have been a USAS, NOT USS. You can tell them by the paint scheme on the stack. They have a red. White, and blue stripe around the stack.
Camotes is a philippines ship that sunk by an incident crashing into the port in cebu Captain: Unknown Fatalitys: 0 Passengers: 149 injuries: 4 Camotes was transporting 149 Pilipino Students in cebu's ocean the captain was responsible for the ship to sink the captain was drunk and forgot to turn.
22:36 "There are some ships that capsize purely by accident." Yep, I've lost count of the times I intentionally capsized my vessel whilst sailing along at sea. :D
EXACTLY . GOD SPEDE , FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS . IT'S ALL AGAINST THE GREATER FREQUENTLY COMMON ENEMY OF MANY NATIONS , 'THE SEA' . ( ENEMY AND FRIEND , OUR SUPPLIER AND PROGENITOR . WHOM WE SHOULD RESPECT MUCH MORE .)
The commentator on this video seems as if they know nothing about, well anything really. The "Odd Topic" is clearly a controlled sinking. The ship has clearly been dismantlement for sinking. I stopped watching at that point. Almost stopped watching after the opening comments about ships now-a-day not being built better than the Titanic. Completely ignorant statement about ships these day, and the Titanic sinking. Terrible commentary.
This may be the dumbest video I have ever seen. Love how the Army operated Destroyers, I had no idea the Army was in charge of our ships. Time to block never want this idiot in my recommended videos again.
Yes...agree...this ship has been prepared for a control sink. Many ships...military ships are cleaned and stripped and then sunk to make an artificial reef for see life.
You may be in the running for having one of the most creepy and obnoxious voices on RU-vid. I just couldn't watch more than about 30 seconds of this video because your voice makes my skin craw.
Wrong! Active warships are ALWAYS double anchored at the bow. This is so the sailor's sextons will work more accurately. How else could you ever properly operate a late 20th century warship?
Who told this man to talk like this?!? It's so annoying and distracting. I can't imagine having a conversation with him...or anyone ....trying to sound like a proper narrator. If you have a unique or great narrating voice...there would be NO reason to ruin it by speaking like this guy. It's a shame b/c the potential is there..? Maybe?
I see no point in subbing. I like the vids but whoever writes the script must not fully check there facts since the commentator is saying the wrong things. Also why put a controlled sinking in the list, but don't get me wrong it does take a lot of time to make a vid, but at least do your research before posting the vid.
the one on the odd topic is a ship that was demolished. you can see on the side that several large holes are cut to help in making sure the ship sink upright. Usually, when demolishing a ship to make artificial reefs, holes are cut on the ship's hull above waterline while internal bulkheads and compartments are also cut open to allow water in. then shaped charges are placed in several areas inside the ship's hull below the water line. after they made sure everything was set, they detonate the shaped charges to sink the ship. it usually only takes several seconds up to a minute for ships to sink in this way to avoid the posibility of the ship rolling over if it sinks too slow.

the misinformation, the voice, the cutting from clip to clip, the way most of these were purposely sunk, the annoying begging-for-likes by saying something bad will happen, the constant ads - cmon dude
As for the mystery ship. It appears to have been an old navy ship. The class of the vessel is a lsd or lpd, you can still see the 3inch/25cal double open gun mounts, (qty of 3 mounts). The ship was stripped of useable/valueable equipment, had additional holes cut in her to facilitate a fast and controlled descent to the bottom to become an artificial reef.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I mean after all I'm not aware of any sinking ships that would deploy an anchor. If those were tow lines they wouldn't be going into the ocean.
I know these comments are from 5 months ago but the mystery ship looks to be a LSD and I think it's the Spiegel Grove LSD32 was sunk as a artificial reef
Odd topic. The ship was the former USS SPIEGEL GROVE LSD 32. It was being sunk as an artificial reef. Before the explosives could be placed, she suffered a bulkheads failure, causing premature sinking and turning turtle. Eventually it was flipped and sunk on it's starboard side. However, Hurricane Dennis came through, lifted the ship off of the seafloor and placed the ship on its bottom.
2:13 It appears the ship is stripped down, w/ no GPS, Comm. Towers etc., it look like an intentional sinking for making an artificial reef... The ship has likely been decommissioned, an intentionally sunken to create an artificial reef in that specific area, which would explain why it's anchored, and sinking in calm waters... This has been done before...
Actually the captain of the oceanos was pulled out of a lifeboat, he did stay on the ship but, he was literally quite useless. Edit: and in that photo after the oceanos segment, the ship appears to have had holes cut into it, if that's the case, the ship is being sunk on purpose to build an artificial reef.
He was pulled of the lifeboat but was one of the first people to hop on a rescue helicopter. So he technically still abandoned ship and was told to go back and assist with the rescuing of the rest of the passengers.
the odd topic ship was an intentional sinking, the holes cut into the sides are a dead giveaway. Also its anchored to the floor by those 2 large ropes. Ship salvage and recovery is my expertise.
Subject matter of considerable interest, but terrible voice-over. Dump the "movie-theater times" voice guy and replace with someone who might give the viewer some credit for being interested in something without constantly being "goosed" by the carny approach. ALSO: A number of these videos would be much more watchable if put through image stabilization first, a not terribly-complicated or costly step. Sooooo, in summary: good subject not given decent presentation. Sensationalism not needed. Improvement shouldn't be all that hard to implement. Until maybe changes are made I think this gets a thumbs down.
Kind of disappointed. Deliberate sinkings are a separate thing from those lost by accident. Especially after mentioning engineers not being able to design unsinkable ships. It's like doing a video on auto accidents and including cars being stripped and crushed in a junkyard.
7:12 "It went down like a 'pack' of cards!" Wut?? A... a "pack" of cards??? I don't think that's the saying. -also- 15:52 missing from that story was the existence of the offset helipad that was obviously constructed after the ship broke up. I expected better from a You Tube channel called Factsopedia.
The Algoport was not being towed to undergo repairs. It was on it's way to be scrapped! The ship was undeer tow because it had already been rendered to a barge state. Factsopedia? Should be rubbish-hypoedia! Implying designers are faulty in not making sturdier ships and then show footage after footage of ships either purposely rendered to sink or sinking as a result of human error!
2:25 I think that one was prepared for demolition. I don't know if they meant for it to sink then but, I think that they had the ship prepared for sinking.
They sound suspicious to me, you think that these people are sinking the ships for insurance reasons? they dont care about human life it also sounds like that if the passingers that die on or off board the ships the more insurance they will get.
2:47 i remember standing on the bow of the Bob Barker watching the Thunder sink it was absolutely exhilarating and quite a few times i got onto the radio in the days leading upto the crew sinking the ship just to remind them that we were still half a mile behind them that's where we were going to stay and to have a good day
Notwithstanding the law of the sea, the crew of the Thunder were outlaws and should have left in their rafts. However, they knew you guys on the Sea Shepard were soft touches.
What a cobbled together disaster of a video. Loads of old footage narrated by a voice worse than running your nails down a chalk board. Please no more!
The ship sinking at time stamp 2:17 is being sunk deliberately to become a artificial reef. You can tell it was prepared for sinking by the lack of deck fixtures and the holes cut in the hull and decks to let air out to speed up the sinking process.
I worked on the voici Bernadette deployment. It is amazing to see this on another channel. This was the second time the voici was confiscated for smuggling. Children were also found on the ship. There is a possibility that they may have been transporting Haitian orphans to the us illegally. I took great pleasure along with many other people In sinking this ship. It is in about 90'feet of water and will serve as a marine life habitat well over a years planning and cleaning went In to this deployment.
Isn't the second ship, the one after the Oceanos, a stripped-out hulk that's being sunk for coral growth or something? All the valuable bits are gone from that thing, and it's just got holes left where they ripped stuff out.
That's pretty much what I was going to say. It's quite obvious that ship was beginning sunk purposely. I don't understand how anyone that's paying attention would swallow the "we don't know why it sunk" lie.
Odd topic. That boat has been stripped. It’s obvious that it’s aged. Looking at the bow there’s cables holding it. I’m betting it’s being sunk on purpose to make a reef and tourist attraction.
Nr 14 was sunk by specialist for coral reefs probably because it didnt seem to have any doors or windows on it and there were to many cutted holes to it be sea worthy
Remember "Worlds Wildest Police Chases! with that orange faced white haired muppet on late night TV with the disaster music throughout? "AM SHERIFF JOHN BUNELL!" if not, look it up, it's exactly like this..American brand clip shows
That's what I thought, I didn't see any GPS, or Comms. Equipment on the top like there normally would be... That indicated a stripped down, intentional sinking to me... Thanks for confirming it's locale...
The ship was sunk on purpose if you noticed the holes cut in to the ship and strategic places so it would sink and be sitting on her keel probably as an artificial reef

When I was in the Navy. We had to escort a oil tanker ship. Well, sometime in the early morning it seemed that the crew deliberately sunk their own ship in the Persian gulf
When are you going to stop running your mouth and actually show the ship sinking you’re jumping from one thing to the next I only see a picture of about thinking that the actual ship sinking the editor does run his mouth way too much the site sucks
I can’t believe the Captain of the Oceanos took off without supervising the rescue effort. He made out he was directing efforts from the shore but that was bullshit as apparently the passengers went to the bridge in the morning to find it abandoned. There was no communication whatsoever and the captain was quoted as saying, "When I order abandon the ship, it doesn't matter what time I leave. Abandon is for everybody. If some people like to stay, they can stay." Inspiring words! I find this particularly galling as I lost a family member who was captain of a ship. He lost his life ensuring the crew (merchant ship so no passengers) were safely off the vessel and as a result the loss of life was far lower than it should’ve been. He could’ve easily said “Stuff it, I’m the captain. Everyman for himself and if some people want to stay they can stay.” But he didn’t. He spent hours freezing his nuts off in the North Atlantic while firing flares and securing rescue ropes so his men could safely get on shore. He left behind a wife and a two year old daughter.
2:17 that is more then likely a ship being sunk on purpose to create or add to an artificial reef, because just look at the ship, look at how many holes have been cut into the sides and top. Those would be for both faster sinking, and create tunnels for fish and other life to live in or just swim through, and if you look, the anchors are down, meaning it was placed there for a reason.
I’m giving you a thumbs down every time I watch your videos because you keep showing horrible insects and saying they will crawl on our face when we are a sleep if we don’t subscribe. As you can see what you do causes the opposite reaction with me 🤮
