SS Atlantic - Tour of the Wreck Site in Lower Prospect, NS 

My great, great grandfather and uncle survived this wreck. My daughter and I are divers now and I would LOVE to dive this wreck!!!!

Wow. Nothing like a local historian! Brilliant video. Amazing story. Thanks

Thanks for covering this mostly unknown event, the event seemed to be tragic and somewhat preventable, I hope you’re safe - from isolation , uk

Tomorrow will be Atlantic's Anniversary . Can't believe it's this close

Thank you for all your informative videos. The way you document these moments in history is truly inspiring. It helps to memorialize those lost in these tragedies, which is really beautiful. Keep it up!

2:53 i remembered those waves during our fishing trip in peggys cove last year. it nearly capsize our boat but at least it was worth $100

I love this entire series. Just wow.

Thank you for visiting the site and bringing such great info❤

great tour thank you so much. love both videos .

You’ve made me into an Atlantic fanatic! Great content, love your channels.

I love this so much. How have I not seen this?

Great video all around !!

Awesome. Loved this. Thank you!

Absolutely fascinating. So much historu

Great video! Ty

That was really wonderful! Where did you find that guy? He knows a ton about the old lore of the wreck.

Man I just learned about this ship sinking and how horrible an experience it must’ve been. All the women and children drowning like they did except that one boy is just horrible.

Great explanation

I know the area well. I met Bob Chaulk 35 years ago. Only a brief meeting at the Fleet Diving Unit I believe it was.

I like this guy's style

Very interesting!

Hey man, I live in Nova Scotia! Have you checked out the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax?

Atlantic sunk today.

Hey Bob , when I look at the pix I thought of Chalk, …lol not yourself the authority on the Atlantic, but as in blackboard chalk. Paper was Not cheap as it is now and looking at the old drawing I envision a blackboard and the quartermaster writing rescue coming, also, you know people wrote letters a lot more in it could be in there ink and a quill

6:59 Casually sinking his "land on the right" theory with deep knowledge of the white star line training

like the extra footage tom

well that is a lot further out than I thought I have to actually go to this place when it is open instead of what I do which is sit there in winter.

Never heard the helm reversal before.

I have trouble finding the exact location of the wreck on google, could someone help me out?

are their any known photos of SS Atlantic

Hey Tom thanks again for this exciting story, I just got done reading your buddy Bob Chalk’s 2nd book, I couldn’t put it down. Wow, the rich always get away w it , Im so mad the way things went down with this story and it has so much to do with politics and religion, I think Bob mentioned that in one of your videos. Metcalfe “Ismay “ clearly was at fault, in fact a crewman said the guy was sleeping on watch, he refused to let the cabin boy give the captain hot chocolate and wake him, yet Metcaffe was given an elaborate funeral. Clearly all the men knew if tehy wanted to keep their job uou don’t throw the owners nephew under bus. The captain lost his captain lic for 3 years, quartermaster Brown loat his certificate for 3 months, yet the dumb dumb who ran the ship aground is hardly mentioned . The preacher who got there at 2 pm and saved 2 people got all the glory, most of the reward money and the real heroes hardly got recognized. In fact the fishermen who Saved 370 or so people were hardly mentioned. It must have been a ghastly sight 500 plus dead people .

wow

Why would they sail that big of a ship thru that small channel..it just looks way to small

Does the wreck still exists today. ?

Does the wreck still exist today

600th like!

The question on everyone's mind: 9:41

Whats the golden rule of the rock?..don't hit it ?

SS Atlantic was worse than Titanic in a lot of ways. Frankly, there's a lot of ship sinkings that are worse than Titanic.

Well..history does say...they struck....and kept going......full steam.....so...

Ausgetzeugnet!

Before Titanic there was the Atlantic. It never should've happened. Reckon the loss of life & cargoes cost White Star plenty.

Metcalf was at fault prob too young to be in charge of a ship this size and too much of an ego

For a guy that's doing tours he sure knows absolutely nothing😂

That whole story makes no sense.
