Sinking of The Lady P 

Large cutouts are put in the haul just a foot or so above the waterline. Then the contractor pumps water into the haul to start the sinking process. As water is added the cutouts get closer and closer to the waterline. Once enough water has been pumped into the haul it will start filling on its own and sink.

A guy Poked a wee hole in it it will sink later. Poke a big hole it will sink sooner

@@ScubaVizit’s called a hull not a ‘haul’ 😅

First of all, you get a sinking feeling. Then the boat actually sinks.

Same here I was like wtf why sink the nice ship but keep the beat to shit ship

@@iPhone3GS_68 To put it mildly... It's lipstick on a pig. The Lady Philomena was not in good shape, and was built in 1956... Plus, you can only imagine how little work her last owners would have put into it if they were conducting illegal activities (as the description says). Look at the hold, especially around the hatch: It's rusted out enough that I wouldn't trust it with my weight, let alone the seas or a load of cargo. And I'm not even a professional, I just have a passion for marine history and know how quickly a badly maintained ship will let you down. Oceanos, Arvin, Marine Electric, and the list goes on...

TIDE : HOLD MY BEER.

2024... election cycle... Biden is winning.... the water is up to the bridge.

RU-vid: Oh hey I found several other nice videos to watch. Wanna see?

I think you'd likely be fine, as long as you weren't attached to the ship, and you were a strong swimmer.

Naah. There was a baker on the Titanic who just stepped off the poop deck as it plunged in. He reported no suction at all.

@@shawnharris9486 it has to be noted he was drunk and changed his story quite a few times.

I think you're referring to the reef pyramids. Volusia County purchased four reef pyramids and mounted them to the hall of the ship's interior. Their hope was that it would increase the diversity of services that biologicals could attach to and also provide some additional weight to keep the shipwreck upright. Sometime shipwrecks will lean over because they're no longer balanced correctly when they're empty.

The machines that keep the world going? You know, the machines that we need to not regress into nothing?

Lol yeah right, the new polluting machines can just be made out of new steel using iron mined from a polluting iron ore mine smelted by burning polluting coal from a polluting coal mine.

Nah she dead

Guck mal 👁👍

Common question actually, especially from those that are outside the USA. This ship was confiscated during a drug smuggling arrest. It was auctioned off to the highest bidder. In this case, it was sold to the County of Volusia in Florida to create an artificial reef. Think of it as an underwater park. This ship and the reef structures that were placed in the cargo area have created a fish habitat that is frequented by fishermen and scuba divers. This is a common practice in the United States.

My friend and I went in after it about an hour later. Viz was terrible but we were able to say we were the first to dive it.

I wonder ?????????????????????????????????????????????????

The water was pretty dirty that day but not that dirty. I think a lot of that brown is from rust and other crud that was left on the bottom of the boat. Supposedly it was cleaned but I guess that meant cleaned of oils and other non-natural contaminants.

I dont understand what do you mean??

time to brain blast.

They made it to the bottom in one piece. Both are upright and still in great shape. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jKhpA4DaxRY.html

This was a ship from south Florida delivered to Volusia County to become an artificial reef. It is now one of the best shipwreck dives in our area. It's located on Volusia County site 12. volusiacountyreefreport.com/index.php/volusia-s-reefs/22-site-12#v12-14sse3

I guess I should have dipped the audio for that clip... The boat that got in the way was too annoying for me to bite my tongue.

Ничо не понял

That would be awesome, never seen footage of that

YES! That's what I've always wanted to see, what it looks like when a ship hits the bottom. I hope to see footage of that one day.

55' to 75'

This type of artificial reef is very effective at creating marine habitat. It's also one of the more popular and cost-effective types of reef construction targeted for fishermen and divers. This ship is 120' long so maybe 150 toms of steel. Steel at the moment is something like $200 a ton. So the scrap steel value is maybe $30,000. So someone in the need of raw materials would be better off buying it from another source.

The recycling of ships is often done In places with little to no environmental restrictions and as such is very damaging to the environment. Often the ships are just cut up on a beach with all the oils just drained into the ocean. Sinking of ships is normally done in a very professional way that minimizes environmental impact and so is often the better way to go. It also creates a nice artificial reef for sea life to live in.

I tried but the footage was crap. I had 4 GoPros mounted around the ship. All you can see is green water. Therewas a small amount of the footage include at the end of this video.

It's not too bad most of the year. This video is what it looks like much of the time. It's no Grand Cayman. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jKhpA4DaxRY.html

Ships are a low-cost way to create a large artificial reef that will attract and provide habitat for larger fish. When partnered with concrete reef material it can provide the maximum amount of biodiversity in one location.

Not sure where you got that number; most of those boats look like personal watercraft there for a show. And, you'll need some sort of authority keeping people back, otherwise you're too likely to have at least one dumbass (probably flying a Trump flag) getting too close with their boat and possibly getting hooked on the sinking ship, or swamped, and then they'll sue because nobody stopped them.

that’s what the thumbnail is so we all know it that the boat it sank

yes, jj, the boat sank

The boat fill with water, the boat go under the water

No shit

Are you certain?

Because they wanted a fish habitat and dive site.

@@ScubaViz Ok thanks 😊

@@GotLove4All It is interesting that many people have commented about the value of the metal.

@@ScubaViz Well.........no so much the value of the metal. It can be recycled. I was thinking more of our oceans being a dumping ground for man made junk. There's pollution everywhere. Water,land,air and there's even man made space junk in our atmosphere. I stead of working to clean up our planet, Martians are now ducking our space junk thinking "WTF". Hahaha But seriously, humans looks to be a cancer in this section of the universe. Hopefully we don't encounter any celestial clean up crews to exterminate us all. Just my thoughts on this matter. Certainly not looking for a fight from who disagrees. "Seems to be the only solution nowadays".

@@GotLove4All If it makes you feel better about this reefed ship, they thoroughly clean it before it's sunk. This includes removing everything that is not made of approved materials, like plastics, and removing all oils and fuels.

You're not alone in this though and others have posted similar comments. I recommend watching one of the videos showing how wonderful the reef is. Do you consider a bird house littering? This ship is basically a gigantic bird house but for fish :)

@@ScubaViz Hey Is corrosion safe for fish that's pure salt water

Watch some of my other videos and you'll see how much the fish and environment like it. I think there's some links in the comments. Think of it as a tourist attraction.

You are thinking based on your knoweldge, or the lack of it. There is no environmental hazard dumping steel into ocean. Everything bad for the ecosystem were already removed.

an idiot like you doesn't seem to understand that Artificial Reefs are used to promote Marine Life with areas in a generally featureless bottom, to control erosion, Block ship passage, Block the use of Trawling Nets, and improve surfing.

eh, wasn't going to be useful anyways, and what are you gonna sell it for? Metal spoons and Cans?

It's an artificial reef. Fish live there now and they like it...

single digit IQ comment

It was purposely sunk for a artificial reef

they are sinking it for a purpose, TO HELP THE SEA THRIVE MORE! its sunk to become an artificial reef

Do you know how stupid you sound right now

Да, двигатель и топливные баки были сняты. Корабль был тщательно очищен перед отправкой в ​​рейс.
