Like you, I love old abandoned boats, cars, trans homes etc. love seeing them and learning their history. I’m in the USA, Indiana, BC Canada has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth, I’m hoping when I retire in a few years that my wife and I can bring our fifth wheel and see this beautiful place. 🇺🇸
What an amazing classy yacht. Someone must buy this and put in the TLC it deserves. To me, it has more charm than any modern yacht could ever have! Great footage, thanks!
Has been floating for so long, this ship should be brought back to life. Absolutely gorgeous and her hull must be built perfectly for her to stay afloat that long. Hell I'm 58 and not in this good of shape 😂👍🇨🇦
Woow finally new video I just went to sleep when my favorite notification arrives and I instantly wake up 😁 What a perfect video something completely different from you again 👏 such a cool ship 🚢 I adore the retro style the view is wonderful 😍🌊 You're the best my favourite explorer 💪👏 Big kiss and hug for you from Serbia 🇷🇸❤ Be careful 🤞🇨🇦❤
Oh WOW❤😂❤ I LOVED THIS!!! Even more than usual! Everytime I watch your opening/beginning of each explore, I love seeing photos & drone shots of "our" former sites. It feels like we're all going right along behind & beside you as you tell us the history of what we're seeing. I LOVE everything you explore; but I particularly enjoy the big war ship, and now this escort/ferry/home❤. Also Love abandoned trains, cars, barns, airplanes, farm machinery, in addition to the homes that hold lots of secrets. You made me laugh so hard, after I started giggling, as you commented about the "tiger" carpeted stairs.😂😅. I was excited to find an explore I had somehow missed. You're a really great young man Brent! Your parents must be very proud of your channel and you especially. Thanks very much. Please stay safe and take good care of yourself❤ My exploring days are over. But finding your channel and getting to know you; and gobon all these fun & interesting, educational "trips" helps fill my time and keep my mind off of "things"! I would purchase and restore this lovely old yacht in a heartbeat if I could. Making it handicapped accessible & all! Then I'd live in it year round❤😂🎉❤
Hey Linda! Thanks so much for the kind words. It truly means a lot 😊 I have a few plans, trains and automobile videos coming up! Thanks so much for watching and you’re support
love it! Sure hope someone fixes it back to it's glory days. I watch a show, Below Deck down under, and this year the ship is an old Japanese fishing boat that they fixed up and turned it into a super yacht. Unbelievable how beautiful it is now.
I love Canada,this waterway is so beautiful!! This boat has such a feel of history,she deserves to be graced with tons of TLC!! Love that six window veil in the front,thanks Bret,great find!!💯👍😎
Gotta love that tiger carpet Grrrrr.😅 What a history that old ship carries. I also hope that it is saved. It would be a unique museum piece for the public to see. Thank you for taking us there Brent.
This boat is absolutely gorgeous and I love the history behind it. I'd have no problem living in this boat with its 1970s looking motif. This boat has so much potential and life left in it I hope that someone does it justice. Why is it parked so far out in the bay? That's the question I want to know. Great video as always!!!
Cost of moorage in BC pretty much anywhere with hydro, cell & internet hookup, basic amenities & pump-out etc is seriously pricey. Charge by the foot, and at 112' you'd be seriously hard pressed to even find anywhere capable of taking on a ship of that size and if you did, the cost would be prohibitive. Well over $10K per month. So what people do is park them, anchor them off-shore in Federal or Provincial waters, the bigger the boat-ship the more remote one has to go and even then there are time limitations, owners subject to inspections & heavy fines & so forth. Actually considered navigational & environmental hazards. Its a sort of romantic-idyllic vision & dream for many however the reality far from it.
You had me at the GROWL! LOL!! Nice explore of this fine ship! These last forever when cared for. Restoration would definitely be a labor of love. Thank you for sharing this explore on these beautiful blue waters! 💯💥💯💥
Abandoned Urbex Canada thanks Brent for sharing this video with me about Exploring a WW2 Navy Ship/Ferry and now a Personal Yacht it was a really good video and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless
Awesome video and what an amazing find. Also in fairly sound shape too considering how long it’s likely been out there. Hopefully this will be restored in the not too distant future. If you haven’t had a chance to do so be sure and check out the former B.C. Ferry “The Queen of Sidney” up the Fraser River near Mission - lots of history there. Her other sister “The Queen of Tsawwassen” is also located somewhere in Howe Sound but not quite sure how easy she is to board..definitely another historical gem. Thanks for the video.
That was a fun explore!! I loved the view from the Captain's seat. That view thru the curved windows would make a great screensaver. I enjoyed this video.
Welcome to B.C. Brent! Glad you're here and got to explore this boat and it's amazing history. Great job! Poor boat sure needs a lot of work and money to bring it back, and hopefully someone will. Enjoy your stay and I hope you'll find more adventures here. PS: Is this your first time back since the sinkholes in Sechelt? 🥰
My dad went to Canada to go in military,his dad went to get him to enroll in military in USA and was Army aircore WW11,my dad was an aircraft mechanic in Greenland 😊
I hit the 'like' button before you even started!! I love abandoned yachts and ships so thank you for this one :o) Loved the signs on the blackboard LOL That steering wheel was so timeless. Such a great piece of history. Fingers crossed someone will buy it and restore it. Such a fun tour!! Do you have any abandoned planes? I love those too :o) Thanks once again Brent.
This historic boat should be in dry dock, not sitting in risky open water. One day it could be at the bottom of the inlet if bad people damage it or something. At least it'll have a better chance of surviving until something becomes of it wouldn't you think? ...Interesting sad report - thanks fer sharing!
This was an interesting exploration. It would take time and money to restore this but would be such an amazing piece of history to have. Thanks for sharing.
Brent glad to you're back. If I'm correct don't they call kitchens on boats/ships a galley, 😂. I could be wrong but I think that was a trash compactor, not a dishwasher. Either way thanks for another awesome explore.
I lived in ontario for 35yrs and retired home in cape breton,I had a trailer in Durham on the saugeen River me my brother in law ziggy and a fellow cape bretoner wanted to go fishing so we got directions to a lake well we had enough supplies for 5 days and drove down a road 20 miles no way to turn around had no choice so we came up to a clearing and off in a field in the middle of nowhere it was the wrong road anyway there was a caboose on rails with 4' of grass well it was late and we stayed in the caboose it had a wood stove and a hole in one corner of the roof we fixed it for rain just in case,next day we frond lake behind it got lots of trout stayed 10 days they at the camp had a search party looking for us as we were partying lots of food berries mushrooms fish we had lots of food I got a milk thing 3' high tin I guess don't know the proper name for it,jug a thermometer with a train on it and a green clock electric clock with a train on the face and to this day and that was 25yrs ago still works and it is from the 40's checked it out so an abandoned caboose in the middle of no where deep in the woods 100 miles north of Durham is where we were all explained to the opp who pulled us over hide your beer and not legal yet pot.any way it was an adventure better than staying in my van work van not for camping we were going to stay in hammocks the time we spent there was weird like now 35yrs later you here stories about sasquatch throwing things at you well for 8 of the 10 nights we were there wood would bounce off the caboose cause we would find them in the morning the last 2 nights we challenged what ever was throwing wood at us we didn't know so come on fakers no wood was thrown so kind of weird what it was that did that but we didn't care we had light,music ,and a wood stove table and chairs and beer and not legal stuff, fish,food and cards and are in a caboose best memory of North ontario up by lake superior.miss ontario.great province.cape breton is tiny and its rainy and cold.i am a cape bretoner OK to visit but don't say u love it until u live here.and halifax who owns us for now yes for now till we separate from the mainland,it sucks,so I prefer ontario cause it's close to home lived in Victoria,Calgary,flin flon Manitoba and Ontario best province my opinion.long story for ya bye,caper smoking legal stuff now bwahhhhh.
Way cool! If I could afford the remodel, I'd live on that thing in a heartbeat! How tall are you btw...your head was a little close to the ceiling. At 6'1 myself, I might have to rethink my dream of that ship...lol.
New subscriber love your videos they are awesome I have a lot to catch up on I’m a retired garbageman from Northern California love watching the band and stuff your videos are awesome thank you for your hard work
I noticed this trend, almost always something awkward happens when trying to remake old ships, of course there are projects where the rework and restoration are done perfectly, but this is very rare, almost always awkward devices are obtained, which then rot somewhere ownerless, despite spending a lot of money...
This was so cool. The decor is late 60s. Why does whoever just leave it there? If it were a car it'd have tons of tickets on it then towed at the owner's expense, wth ?
