@Geichal. I'm going out on a limb here (and from the numerous comments below, it proves to be a very thin limb) but it seems to me "convoy" is a WWII invention as a defensive response to offensive German wolfpack submarine tactic.
@TorontoJediMaster
@TorontoJediMaster 2 года назад
@@TheDroppedAnchor Convoys had actually begun in World War I. It *was* a defensive response to U-Boats though, as ships sailing on their own were far easier prey. Wolfpack attacks by U-Boats weren't really an issue in World War I. (The U-Boat commanders attempted the tactic but without success, as the concept was too new and they hadn't gotten it down correctly yet.). One of the first attempt wolfpack attacks was in the English Channel against a troop convoy in May of 1918. That resulted in U-103 (which was coordinating the attack) being rammed and sunk by "RMS Olympic".

I can't get over the absolute horror and dread that the passengers and crew must have felt, knowing the ship was slowly going down and knowing that there was no hope of rescue. Bad enough to be on there as a lone adult, but to imagine travelling with your family and children, helpless to save them and knowing that you were all doomed.

@theogeffrelot983
@theogeffrelot983 10 месяцев назад
@@bobgillis1137 Maybe. Since the ship was sinking slowly, they would have time to launch some lifeboats. Unfortunately, it came to nothing since they were all alone in the middle of the Atlantic. No radio, no morse code, no way to call any nearby ship for help. The few temporary survivors would have slowly died of hunger, thirst or exposure to the cold air, a much more horrific doom than anyone who fell into the freezing waters (half an hour of survival at best, no suffering for days). The same fate that would have struck Titanic's survivors, were it not Jack Philipps and Harold Bride hardworking to warn the Carpathia and fix the broken telegraph only hours before the disaster struck (or Carpathia's radio operator having gone to bed one minute earlier).
@KevinBrownjr
@KevinBrownjr 3 месяца назад
@@bobgillis1137 even if the lifeboats were successfully launched it’s possible they may have been too far away from land to row to shore. If you remeber or have seen Tom’s SS Arctic documentary two of the lifeboats rowed to shore from the SS Arctic about 40 miles from land, and it took them 2 days to do that. If it takes 2 days to row just 40 miles imagine how long it would take at 100 miles away. If you’re too far away from shore to row there safely and before your rations run out, you’re only hope is to be rescued by a passing ship. Even if the lifeboats were successfully deployed, they were probably too far from land and no ship noticed them so those who may have managed to survive the sinking itself, all died out in the lifeboats either from exposure to the weather or depleted rations.

Making an Atlantic crossing was very much a high risk undertaking at that time, even more so when the vessel is constantly travelling at high speed through rough seas! Driving a ship very hard like that hugely increases stresses on the hull and without Radar ships were virtually blind, resulting in greatly reduced reaction times in which to avoid a threat that suddenly becomes apparent (such as icebergs).

Been reading about the captain and his exploits. "A Collins Line steamer arriving in Liverpool (which had left New York two days before Red Jacket) reported that Red Jacket was just astern. As she entered the harbor, tugs tried to get lines aboard the clipper but she was traveling too fast. Thousands, alerted by the Collins Liner, watched as Eldridge shortened sail and backed the vessel into its berth. " Thats reckless beyond compare but still darn good seamanship!

These Ships were the first glimpse of a connected world, that could be traveled by (nearly) all. The first shine of globalism. Imagine all that hope struck down by weeks of anxiousness, as the fact slowly drills into you, that if will never make port. The loss of these ships literally made the world a bigger and emptier place

Those who watch these excellent videos will appreciate this story about Captain Asa Eldridge who, as noted in the video, commanded the SS Pacific on her final voyage. This passage is about Eldridge's record-setting voyage two years earlier in the clipper ship Red Jacket, on her maiden run. It was published on January 11, 2008, I believe in the Cape Cod Times. The author is Jack Coleman. Towards the end is some of the most stirring prose I have ever read: "...On Jan. 23, 1854, the Yarmouth Register described the Red Jacket's historic crossing - 'This passage was of significant interest in that stirring contest between the fastest ships of sail and the early ships of steam. 'A Collins Line steamer, which left New York two days before the Red Jacket, arrived in Liverpool on Sunday afternoon and brought news that a Yankee clipper was just astern. 'Those were sporting days. There was intense interest in the performance of ships. When the news sped along the Liverpool waterfront people rushed in thousands to the docks, every point of vantage was black with spectators awaiting the arrival of this incredible racer. 'Outside the port tugs had offered to tow the clipper, but she was going so fast they never could have kept their hawsers taut. She shot ahead, leaving them wallowing in her wake. The Red Jacket swept into the Mersey with everything drawing, presenting a spectacle of surpassing grandeur. Cheers burst from the thousands on shore. 'Then Captain Asa Eldridge gave them a thrill they least expected - he took in his kites, his skysails, royals and topgallants, hung his course or lower sails, in their gear, ignored the tugs that caught up, and, throwing the Red Jacket into the wind, helm hard down, he backed her long side of the berth without aid, while the crew took in sail with a celerity that seemed like magic to the spectators - a superb piece of seamanship.'"

A lot of ships in the old days were unique vessels. AFAIK there were only 3 ships like the Titanic built... ever. It's not the same as being a one-of, but pretty darn close given that they were built at the same time. Then you have the infamous Great Eastern. Such a uniquely massive vessel the field of engineering was furthered by her design and building. Then you have stuff like the SS Eastland... One-of design.. and the problems with her were in part because of that. to start, a ship designer who normally made cargo ships designer her. competent designer, made a ship that held quite a lot and could MOVE. She just didn't sail quite the same as her contemporaries, and got modified in a way that made her dangerously top-heavy.. then she capsized and killed hundreds of people. Simply making the ballast tanks a different design would probably have helped greatly.... but part of the issue is she capsized because the ballast tanks were EMPTIED prior to loading. This made the top-heavyness so much worse.

Only 45 passengers, damn. She was travelling light. Well, to answer Mr. Hedge's question, it's safe to say that she and those aboard her are down in Davy Jones' locker. Considering every other ship in that area at the general time all reported what must've apparently been a monstrous field of ice, plus the name of the captain being on the Pacific's passenger and crew list, I believe the note. It must greatly suck to go down with all hands with no chance of rescue or for what caused your demise to even be known. Screw the ice and screw the government too while we're at it. RIP those 186 lost souls.

It wasn't strange at all for the time... in the same period, two clippers in passenger service with a combined 500 people onboard also vanished into thin air, and a fourth one avoided sharing their fate just because there was a single survivor (picked up after nine days in a lifeboat during which the other twelve occupants of said boats had died of exposure, hunger and thirst) who lived to tell the tale. In the realm of steamers, there's the City of Glasgow (almost 600 people aboard), City of Boston and President, all lost without survivors in those years. If anything, Arctic was the lucky one for having survivors.

Your content and presentation are both excellent, I watched the Arctic video first and this was a great accompaniment. Keep up the good work! It would be interesting to have a video on ship/passenger/crew losses over time in different eras in the North Atlantic.

Great story! Thank you sincerely. If you traveled on the high seas back in the day, you must have had a very sober understanding that you may never see port again.

My ancestors are from Liverpool, there's actually a part of the city named after them. I wonder, sometimes, how many of these sailors, and passengers they met and which ships they saw leave and never return. It must have quite fretful to live in a port city in those days.
