Mohawk Sinking Timeline 

LOL the fish at the end, he's like, "What the Hell just happened!?".

I know it’s dangerous but I would just love to sit on that as it’s sinking I sound like an idiot saying that lol

Even though I know its going to sink I kind of root for it to stay floating.

For lot of men that was the last experience of their lives.

@5:38 Fish be like "hey guys, u wanna come down here and get your boat off my house? thanks!"

That was a really nicely carried out sinking, she settled on an even keel and retained it all the way down! Subsea creatures and growths will welcome their new home, as will recreational divers.

Didn't take long for the first resident to move in...🐠~~~ Lol

Here is a link to a behind the scenes video vimeo.com/80140155

Hits to citadel 1x Caused fooding 1x Destroyed 1x

Wow. The really didn't take long. I bet it probably would feel like seconds if you were on it

A new Marine wildlife habitat. Was the ship a Naval Vessel ?

Ça doit être super bien

5:11 be like 🧐

I was waiting for the loud bang, as it hit th bottom, i guess it wasn't sinking fast-enough, or the bottom was pretty soft. Still, that was education. Horible sight to witness, when you don't have diving gear at hand, btw..

Did they not drain and clean the oil tanks?

Wait is she a flower class?

😭😭😭😭😭

Rest in peace...

5:11 hihihi wiiii my new house!!!

Well, you cant keep every ship as a museum. Maintainance is expensive. if you dont sink them, you will have to maintain it. if you dont, then she will turn into a rust bag.

gone in 3:24:34

is that oil the black colored floating

I notice a Brazilian flag

Why would you do that⚓️💸

Do these few artificial reefs actually benefit the overall fishery very much? I'm sure someone has studied it.

Well, it’s weird to see all this, but I know that these massive wrecks become reefs themselves. Once all the poisons are off the boat. I’m hoping.

So someone failed to clean the oil out of it? Sure a lot of oil leaking while it sinks.

In india there is a scrap center in gujrat. how many ships are under the sea

no details

200th

Contamination! 😰😱😭

Thank you for the polution !!!

Nice oil slick all around the vessel. EPA my a$$.

Why the hell they pollute sea 😑

Why don't u do this spoiling the sea by oil and waste toxins

Why sink it?? Take care of it on land. Was there also oil floating around the ship.....

No era más fácil llevarlo a un desarmadero de barcos antes que hundirlo en el medio del mar contaminando y haciendo mugre bajo el agua....esto no me enorgullece al contrario que pocos avanzados

What about all that oil. Is that not pollution 🤨

Well done! You put garbage in the ocean! Bravo!

made more rubbish under the sea

👎️

Yes, I am going to say it was clean and inspected by the EPA prior to sinking. We are SCUBA divers and fisherman who are passionate about building ecosystems to take pressure off the natural reef. I understand your skepticism but I assure you we have no financial gain, I am a volunteer and I have seen sea life grow on this wreck and fish make this reef their home which was nothing but sand before. The process for cleaning is removal, containment and proper disposal of hazardous materials. I respect your opinion and appreciate your comments and our shared passion for our environment.

5:10 I swear this thing wasn't here yesterday

Just to show how effective these artificial reefs are: The fish at 5:10 shows that the SECOND the ship touches the bottom it’s already part of the ecosystem. “Reduce, reuse, recycle” taken to the extreme.

My dad spent countless hours volunteering on her when she was moored in Wilmington DE. He and all the crew loved her.

The ship was a World War II museum ship for many years in Key West. It was dying at the dock and was at risk of sinking in the harbor. Converting ships with history as artificial reef keeps the name alive and builds structure for marine life to grow and breed where only sand existed before.

My Father served on board the USS Mohawk in 1942-43 during WWII as part of the Greenland Patrol.

"3...2...1" BOOM "warning hull breach detected" Subnautica in a nutshell

Something kind of sad about seeing an old girl claimed by the sea...kind of like a funeral or something

I could show you video of the inside of the engine which was cleaned inside and out, with the oil removed it quickly was covered with rust. Much of the color is rust, mostly from under the barnacles which were blown off by the blast. Take note of the barnacles on the side of ship before the blast and immediately afterwards. The side of ship is a clean as a shiny nickel.

After long historical service in possibly the least friendly sea states, this proud little Lady outlived her pension, and settled on the bottom, upright with all the dignity Her Officers and Men could hope for. USS (later USCG) Mohawk. The last of Her kind. May she Rest In Peace.

@ 5:10 Fish goes "Dibs on this one".

I was surprised to see that they left one of the ships boats on deck, to be sunk with the ship.

The USCg cutter mohawk operated as a floating, working museum in Wilmington De for many years. My dad worked on it for most of that time. I have some really fond memories of that old girl.

Fishy was like, "Stella, pack up the kids. We've got a new mansion to live in. "

To be honest that was cool to see the ship slowly sink. I’m glad you did this because it will make a home to have coral grow and to house fish.

She sank like a gracious lady that she was

5:11 awwww

It would've been quite fitting if that fish seen at the 5 minute mark (who was clearly overseeing this project) was wearing a construction hat, but that's just me.

This is sad. Why do I feel sad? Maybe all the memories? I don’t know 😢

Please make video on how these explosives are laid on ship, & how big holes do they make. Please

Why is there still one flag Onbaord? Curious. .

oh no you sunk my battleship! :)

the water is very pretty

The fish is thinking "WTF are these land apes up to now?"

I would love this witness one of these sinkings. Wreck diving it's probably the very top of my list of places I like to go. I expect really like the graveyard of the Atlantic. Anyone who lives on the East coast and are scuba divers need to try this. You would not believe that you could be in such clear the water is and it's also relatively warm due to the gulf stream.

The speed that the condominiums appear here is incredible! Thought the fish at 05:30

Makes one think about all those heroic merchant marines who went to the bottom during WW's I and II. May God Bless their souls.

Davy Jones inspecting his new ship on the bow at 2:55

awesome video

Awesome video Dave. Thanks for sharing. The cameras that appear to be in the water prior to the sinking, are they on buoys?

Нефтяное пятно такое на воде появилось . Где Грета Тунберг ? Или она только лоббирует только то за что платят ?

I would have bought the little boat they left on deck.

The jawfish at 5:00 is like "WTF is this thing that fell out of the sky?"

To think how many ppl would die if they only had 3 minutes but it would be unlikely because of the ships size

There is a fish ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TioY3XN0Fq4.htmlm34s

5:10 Fishe

Sank 10 years ago, would like an update as to how well its converting into a reef.

It should be USCGC Mohawk not USS. This was a United States Coast Guard Cutter. Just saying.

I like this place, it's home now.

First fish: "On one fin, I don't know what in the name of Poseidon happened. But on the other fin... IT'S FREE REAL ESTATE~"

I've got this recommended after 8 years, you too?

hahahahah the fish

Uniquely satisfying video

จมทั้งภาคใต้

The skeptics are the same people that complain if there is not a highway light every 100 feet on an Interstate highway. I really believe the skeptics could not find their own ass with both hands.

WOW! THE FUNNEL DIDN'T FALL!!! Very stronger material.

Lordy Jesus I feel bad for the uploader having to deal with so much ignorance in the comment section 🙄

May she rust in peace.

👏 o principal personagem foi o peixinho amarelo 🙌

Alright own up who brought a banana on the boat look at the consequence of this now own up😂😤

SHIT GET THE CAPTAIN OFF THE SHIP WE'VE BENN STRUCK BY A TORPEDO

Just imagined insted of using a go pro to watch it sink its a cameraman if there is a camera man in the boat he need to Get out fast but its a go pro

I believe this is the same ship that sat in Wilmington Delaware for many years on the Christiana.

Wow, can't even make out when it got to rest on the sea floor. Was expecting a big thud.

Hey David! I LOVE this video covering the sinking of the Mohawk! Awesome montage of clips! I was wondering, would it be possible for me to use a piece of the audio for a video I am doing? I just think it'd be cool to use the ACTUAL AUDIO of a sinking ship instead of manufacturing my own. Its for a ww2 video im putting together :D May i use a bit of audio and I'll drop your name in the credits and description?

Upright! Great job.

why make an animation when you can sink a real ship

At 3:18 the ocean goes "Ok screw this shit, time to go..."

Hahaha what was that thing that hit the deck at 0:14
