Maritime archaeologist and historian James Delgado rates 11 shipwreck scenes in movies for realism.
Delgado breaks down the accuracy of discovering and investigating shipwrecks in "Titanic" (1997), with Leonardo DiCaprio; "Uncharted" (2022), with Tom Holland; "Finding Nemo" (2003); and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" (2003), starring Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. He looks at the realism of nature causing shipwrecks in "Life of Pi" (2012) and "The Perfect Storm" (2000), starring Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney. He rates the plausibility of shipwrecking caused by deliberate attacks and equipment failures in "In the Heart of the Sea" (2015), with Chris Hemsworth; "Speed 2: Cruise Control" (1997); "The Finest Hours" (2016); and "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage" (2016), starring Nicolas Cage. He also explains the accuracy of deep-sea exploration in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" (2022).
Delgado is a maritime archaeologist and maritime-preservation expert with 45 years of experience. He has investigated over 100 shipwrecks, including the Titanic; the atomic-bomb test fleet at Bikini Atoll; the last known US slave ship, Clotilda; and ancient wrecks such as Kublai Khan's lost fleet. He has authored and edited 33 books and was a host of National Geographic's "The Sea Hunters." He is the senior vice president of Search Inc. Marvel Studios' "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" is out now to buy and keep in the UK.

In 2010s even a mediocre Marvel movie made more money than this masterpiece that actually had science, studying, alot of background work and dedication in it. It reminds me of English football/soccer. In the late 90s and early 2000s even the very best players in the Premier League earned maybe 100k/a week.

James Delgado made a documentary series back in the early 2000’s, called “The Sea Hunters,” where he and his team found several shipwrecks. Three of the shipwrecks they found in the series were the Carpathia, the Isis, and the bits and pieces of what were left of the Mary Celeste. In one episode, he and his team attempted to find the Andrea Gail, but failed.

@Yvolve Год назад

I have only seen The Perfect Storm once and that was enough. It is so heart wrenching to watch the ship struggle up that wave, roll backwards and trap the crew inside. I have seen plenty of movies based on true stories and while they always get to me, this one really hit me. Being from a seafaring nation, it reminds me of all the sailors who perished at sea. Amsterdam has the Schreierstoren (The Weepers Tower) opposite Central Station. It is a small, round building where the wives of the sailors would gather if a ship didn't come home and mourn the loss. The fact it there was a permanent place just for this says it all.

@samuelhaverghast2442 Год назад

fun fact, the ship they used for the Andrea Gail is actually her sister ship, the Lady Grace, from what I understand, its still around somewhere

@Yvolve Год назад

@@samuelhaverghast2442 Wow, that must've been quite the experience, using a sister ship for the movie. I didn't know it even had a sister ship, I though they built a replica as a set and used some random boat for the exterior shots.

@marhawkman303 Год назад

@@Yvolve Well the "sister ship" concept is basically, that a ship builder used the same plans for more than one ship. that's it really. A lot of ships, particularly the famous ones like SS Great Eastern are one-ofs. In theory the plans could have been used to build more, but they weren't. Great Eastern is an example of a ship that was incredibly expensive to build and people simply didn't have the money to build a second one. But, smaller ships like Andrea Gail and Lady Grace, the builder might make a dozen nearly identical ships. The idea is simple, a designer creates a plan that's a fundamentally sound ship design. So instead of re-inventing it for each ship built, you make several of the same design. You see it a lot in militaries where there's a class design and you have well, let's look at the most extreme example from WW2: PT boats. PT boats were basically motorboats with weapons mounted. They had numbers like "PT-109"... that number tells you something about just how many got built... most of which got blown up. It was fundamentally mass production. That's an extreme example though, only a very small design can be made in such great numbers. Fun fact: Titanic's builder actually made 3 nearly identical ships. :D But, ONLY 3. It's a big design and quite expensive.

@Yvolve Год назад

@@marhawkman303 I know about the concept of sister ships, I just didn't know the Andrea Gail had one. Trawlers are often built to spec, from what I know. I know about PT boats from The Grand Tour, Clarkson had one built for the show. None of them survived the war or the scrapyard unfortunately. This was based on a leisure craft which was converted into the PT in a matter of 6 days. 2 of the 3 Olympic class ships sank, the last one was retired, although it did have a collision as well. Thanks for all the extra info though, always good to learn more.

@maxschaffels2164 Год назад

On the name of the Schreierstoren: the origin of the name most definitely stems from the archaic form of 'sharp' (scherp), 'schray' ('schrei' in updated spelling) which refers to its positioning on a sharply angled corner of the city wall. The tale likely takes it inspiration from places like this that very much do exist. So having said that, it really is a great example of the strong maritime tradition in the Netherlands because such a story has to find a base in truth to be recognisable and repeatable in that way. Honestly, who knows - perhaps both are true. The tower is very close to a number of important moorings in the old layout of the city and there's a plaque in the tower that commemorates the grief-stricken widow of a seaman. I suppose a conflation of the old-fashioned 'schreien' (as in to cry) could have occured as that term has been in use since the 1250s. The name may have even inspired the act! One such place also exists in Scheveningen, the Vissersvrouw (Fisherman's Wife). Her statue overlooks the harbour, awaiting those that were lost at sea and was erected as late as 1982, so the sentiment is still very relevant today.

It's so easy to mock now, but the Titanic deserves that 10/10. It's incredible the amount of research James Cameron did in the Titanic. When I was in the 7th and 8th grade (1996-1998), I had a science teacher who was obsessed with two things: the Mars Rover and the Titanic. Anytime there was new research or information, it didn't matter what we were studying, he'd make a day for it. And the amount of times he had to make a day for the Titanic during that time thanks to Cameron was crazy.

@Elora445 9 месяцев назад

The fact that it's a mix of saltwater and freshwater, or rather brackish water, helps tremendously with preserving wrecks that are built out of wood. Once upon a time it contained only freshwater, but rising sea levels caused some saltwater to mix in, and tada~ perfect for preserving wood stuff. That's why we keep on finding really old wrecks in so good shape down there.

There is a RU-vid Channel for the USS Constitution. Last Sail Frigate in Commission. She is partially manned by Midshipmen (and women) of the US Naval Academy at Annapolis. They have a number of videos show the various spaces aboard the ship, and discussing how sailors lived in the late 1700's through the mid 1860's (during the American Civil War) {the USS Constitution had stopped being a warship c.1835/1845; and was a "Hulk" used for storage 1861-1865. The USS Constitution was first restored in the late 1800's}. HMS Victory is a "Ship of the Line" and has been restored, but unlike the USS Constitution, that sails under her own power (Sails); HMS Victory does not sail.

@stormtempterf8058 Год назад

As a veteran USN sailor, on a flat top, loss of power and capsizing were my biggest terrors. You think you can feel your way around, but in a battle, with noise and death, the pitch dark that an unlit passageway has is a massive hurdle. Then you have to try to escape when its all upside down? I worked in the superstructure, and it was always in my mind that if we ever flipped, I'm just dead, there is no path of escape or refuge. The e hatch maybe, but if flipped, that means going out a hatch while like 100 feet below water, with a massive ship above you in all directions. Terrifying. Chances of something that big flipping are almost non-existent, and the tenacity of our ship construction is not to be underestimated when in a watertight/airtight situation. The invention of LED light isn't to be scoffed either. Our old pocket flashlights were pathetic. Now you can have multiple suns in your pocket, all with long battery lives, so being in a blackedout ship isn't as big a problem now either.

One of our buoys off Nova Scotia, not far from where Andrea Gail last transmitted; was 31 metres (100ft) tall. A boat from my community, MV Miss Ally, sank in similar conditions about 300 km Sou Sou' West of Andrea Gail, in February 2013. The wave recorded close to where they foundered was recorded as 29m in height; or about 92ft in height. Miss Ally was discovered days later laying on her back, much like Andrea Gail is depicted in this movie. 😢

There was actually more than one buoy in the area of the perfect storm. They're built and maintained by the NOAA. Buoys 44137, 44139 and 44141 all report 100ft seas just after midnight, for an entire hour. Considering the significant distance between each one, these measurements imply the entire Scotian shelf was turned into a surf zone of 100ft monsters. If the Andrea Gail had survived up until midnight that evening, she didn't last much longer than 12am.

The whole story of the USS Indianapolis is really upsetting. The US used that ship to deliver parts for ""Little Boy"" that would be later dropped on Japan, then left that ship to sail through territory that they knew had Japanese subs prowling for targets to sink. That ship wasn't even given a single escort, making her ripe for open season.

@NoobsofFredo Год назад

Not only that, but the captain was court-martialed for it, despite naval high-command's orders being followed to the letter. He was ultimately cleared of all charges, but was harassed by family members of his dead crewmen for the 40 years until he killed himself.

@marhawkman303 Год назад

@@NoobsofFredo Enh, court martial in the military isn't necessarily the same as being charged with a crime. Sometimes it's a formality to officially clear a person of wrong-doing.

@dandurocher1648 Год назад

@@marhawkman303 correct. Generally the loss of a ship is an automatic court-martial to establish the facts of the loss. In wartime a board of inquiry is probably more common, but politics was definitely playing a roll in this one.

@justlucky8254 Год назад

Yep. It can be a difficult watch but I like to think that they deserve to be remembered for all that they went thru and part of that is in watching the movie and/or other videos about it. So many films share the solemn task of remembering dark events, especially concerning the sea, war, etc.
