Boat was probably built in 1850ish. The common use of the steam ship wasn't till the mid 1800s. Rubber boom started roughly in 1850 as well and ended around 1920s.
Wrong. Steam boats have been around since the late 1700s. STEAM SHIPS were in the 1800s. This one in the video is a steam river boat. It doesn't traverse the oceans only rivers.
By Mary Bellis Updated on January 13, 2020 The era of the steamboat began in the late 1700s, thanks initially to the work of Scotsman James Watt. In 1769, Watt patented an improved version of the steam engine that helped usher in the Industrial Revolution and spurred other inventors to explore how steam technology could be used to propel ships. Watt's pioneering efforts would eventually revolutionize transportation.
@@Eyeyamgodyou're all wrong. That was a late 1910s boat refurbished in the 1930s and than renovated again in the 90s where it's windows and exterior was entirely replaced. Used by the red Cross since the 80s and abandoned in like 2014 cus they got a new riverboat.
Imagine just living your best life. Traveling and getting to experience new places and cultures. How crazy is it that you can make someone’s day there with like 50$ dollars worth of candy.
New sub here! And I must say, this is top tier travel vlogging! I love how you appreciate the culture everywhere you visited & with a pinch of humor 😎 just binged 5 videos.
Blimey…. Larry is an absolute unit, got to be ex forces on some level ha ha…you can tell he is a guy you would like on your team, a beautiful man… i think he must have meant 1850 ish for the boat, it was the Georgian era here in the 1700’s, all the boats I recall from history then were wooden… fondest love from the Great British countryside xx
I didn't get to videotape my trip to Brazil, but I did on our trip across The Gran Sabana located in the South of Venezuela is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, inside Canaima national park which is the fourth largest in the world. The Gran Sabana has typical short vegetation, tabletop mountains called tepuy and also the tallest waterfall in the world, The Angel Falls. We flew into Angel Falls region by single engine plane on which the gas gauge didn't work! Hiked into / between plateau mountains to swim in waterfalls and caves beneath. It was breathtaking.
He's on a fully restored floating hotel in the amazon. And yes apparently the ship was used in the rubber boom you can see the whole ship and better pictures with a quick Google search. Heck, book a room if you like its still operational
You were so wrong about those boats on the yarapa river. That is a boat that Dr Richard bodmer uses for the Earthwatch community based conservation research. The people you met on there are the indigenous people that work with the research teams that come out from all over the world to help fund and gather data. I know because I live there every year for two weeks helping. They were probably in omaguas (the town you left to go up river on the Amazon) gathering the next Earthwatch group and left Odelio and Israel there. Usually Pedro is there too and Paola. I’ll be on that boat again June 1st this year.
Very interesting, Thank you. regarding the boat, judging by the ac's. its been way less than 40 years since it was in use. Modern ac, lights, extinguishers etc
New sub… 👋 and man I love your videos and if I could travel and go see the world as you do I would love that.. you truly are getting to do what some only can watch.. thank you for sharing your adventures and man how cool would that be to just have a pet monkey it was absolutely tiny and it was just loving to ride around on top of your head … wow .. what I would do to take one trip .
23:50 i can finally see how they carve those big trees! I’ve always wondered how Dey did it, i think if they had atleast 6 people carving all at once i bet they will finish withing a week
Living a dream brother.. living a wonderful dream. Let me know if you ever want to take on another. Definitely wouldnt slow ya down. Plus... I broke my helmet when I was 5.
By our standards, these people have nothing. Yet if you think about it, they have so much more than we do. We might think they’re trapped in the jungle, but we might be more trapped in the system. In envy this way of life.
I did the math and there gas price translates to $1.58 Canadian per Litre which is actually better than some of the prices I’ve been seeing recently in Ontario (up to $1.65 per L) which shows how bad our carbon tax rate is
Vessels constructed during the 1700s and early 1800s were made of wood, not metal. It seems like your guide may be attempting to extract additional funds from you.
It's so sad how the country can be so advanced but is held back but corrupt politicians and government. I hope one day everywhere in the world can advance in technology and quality of life to be similar to those in first world countries.
Is it hard breathing there! I have adthma,ant altitude suckness? Travel insurance will not cover tourists if a State Dept warning is in effect,fyi! Lol! I just saw Iquito area is a reconsider travel area!Bucket List trip 🌌
14:25 never realized how big it really was that’s why he moved in there. I bet if they really wanted maybe Dey can fit 2 families in there with all those rooms they got, some even had beds lol.. The one only thing i would be scared of is if it rains a lot nd the boat/ship starts moving around since it’s on the river
Isn't this the village that has been getting attacked by those floating beings in metal suits ?? A couple people went down there and it's 100% happening, they even requested help from the navy
@@sealontour I'm not sure if you went to iquitos but that's where that's happening, it sounded like you mentioned going through there. It's in the northern Amazon, and like I said the people there have been under siege by some government agency since like last year, a girl got dragged out of the village in broad daylight and her neck was lacerated , the local people stopped going to their homes in the Amazon and have resorted to staying in the main city during the night . The locals claim its 7ft tall people in weird metal suits that hover through the Amazon and come out of the treeline at night , they said they've shot them and watched their BBs from their shotgun slugs bounce off. An American went down a couple months ago with a few green berets to bring supplies to the village and document the locals accounts of what's been going on. It's super interesting and if I was anywhere near Peru I'd be making a B line over there to see for myself what the hells going on. Like I said it got bad enough they requested help from our navy and our navy claimed it was gold miners lol.
@@sealontour if you went to iquitos then you did . That's where that is going on . Locals living in the jungle moved back into the city to avoid the beings . Our navy said they're gold miners but obviously not, surprised you didn't hear anything about that out there.
