The Unfortunate Fate of the RMS Rhone
#history #disaster
No matter how far technology advances, man is still at the whims of the sea. Even in an age of iron hulls and steam power, a single error can render a very capable ship into a wreck on the sea floor. The RMS Rhone, state of the art at the time learned this all too well. Learn her story.

The Superstitious Sailor: Women on Ships
You neglected to tell us the real reason: that Dark Brandon was alive then and appeared out of nowhere to frighten the poor patriotic sailors to death, instantly. The explosion was from the boiler pipes (near the toilet or "head") catching alight all the boxes of classified documents (Brandon had stolen), stored in the hold 🙃
Who plagiarized who? Just watched an identical video
Anyone else finding it hard to handle the constant mispronunciations? I'm born and bred Midwesterner so it's not like I'm some globe trotting culture snob.... But this is almost unbearable.....
It's hard to fathom the courage and grit of the kinds of wonderful men who man these Lighthouses and Vessels. God Bless them forever.
My great grand dad served on that ship, he was on the island when it exploded, he described that he ran from the ships fragments landing on the island like it was Artillery. That wasn't the worst for him, it was just seeing his friends die with out saying goodbye.
14.7psi is atmosphere lol
War is an incredible waste of life
Poeple make fun of ohio a lot but its a buetifaul state
I know there's already a bunch of videos about it, but I'd love to hear your breakdown of the loss of the USS Thresher
Fun fact: Daniel Morrell was the general manager of the Johnstown steel mills
Had lobster, plenty of brandy and cooked biscuits….so, all in all not the worst shipwreck experience.
The captain must have had a brain dead moment or a bad case of "I can do this all by myself." He should have never been allowed on anything that floats even as a passenger for the rest of his life. His know it all attitude caused a lot of unnecessary loss of life. All the other captains saw what was coming and offered life saving assistance, but he refused them. His ego was bigger that the ship and more important than the lives of the crew. The poor families that lost their loved ones were put through a nightmare, which lasted the rest of their lives, and I'm sure of that. This particular situation just makes me furious. I'm sure he justified it in his little brain, but there is no justification for how he handled that situation. I doubt it, but I hope what he did and didn't do haunted him forever.
Nice to see a video on this ship. I must have dove this wreck 30 times between 1988 and 2000. Best dive was doing a night dive.
Came here from Ignis
In middle school while reading online books cause we was made to i heard of this story and it was very interesting. And its nice the french ship came to help and how the girl survived the crash god truly didnt want her to die
You can learn about this and other famous maritime disasters from Cosmo Kramer’s book titled “Astonishing tales of the Sea.” 😂
Although definitely a very tragic story, George Costanza doesn’t think it was all that big of a deal..😂
My grade 3 history lessons coming back to real quick now
This happened eleven years after 'General Slocum' burned on the Hudson in NYC. Did companies/corporations think that "it cannot happen to us?"
Thank you for mentioning the Canadians who lost their lives in Operation Jubilee. I only wish those boys couldve returned home.
It was the largest man-made explosion not the largest man-made bomb
So did the inuit people just watch these guys die? Or am I not underatanding
Lake Superior is quite the view irl
Stockholm wA to blame.
Holy f*ck I was not expecting to see footage of ACTUAL DEAD BODIES from the expedition
Shoutout to radiation island. That old game was how I learned about this ship
Idea, I just met the AST in Petaluma. You should do a video on the Alaska Ranger.
I love how in the TV show, they end up being attacked by ManBearPig 😂
18:23 Wow. Super disgusting to just tell educated people who are totally super smart and educated, Like myself, To stop watching this because we are to smart. I was hoping for better from this channel. You should learn some manners from people like me.
A tragedy ❤
This reminds me of the movie Treasure Planet when John Silver signaled for the mutiny
Gravity centrifuge? Like a gyroscope? xD
Hey bevis.... he said massive loads..... huh huh
We all know it would be rlly annoying with them on board all the time.
Want was the embarrassing event with fitzy Read "the endeavor" about the South pole
Watching this after doing the Mac races in Mackinac- insane to think about what’s under the waters right here
Thank you so much for coverning the Empress' story! Ever since I was a kid, I had an obsession with her history, mainly fueled by rage that she was never able to be grieved properly because of the war... I actually got to visit the Empress of Ireland museum in Rimouski twice, and I got to touch different parts of the glorious ship. My very first job choice was actually a diver, able to withstand the strong currents and icy waters of the St-Lawrence River and be able to visit the Empress. Of course, I never got to acheive that dream but I'd be lying if i said it wasn't still on my bucket list! I still keep a little shrine for the passengers and make sure that they are remembered to this day. Thank you again for sharing one of the most tragic events in maritime history (atleast in my opinion), and the story of her passengers. Edit: Captain Kendall was my first crush, to show you how obsessed I was
That was crazy. Have you done a video on the 1900 Galveston hurricane? Eric Larson wrote a great book about it Having lived at the Eastern coastal US f for the past 20 years, i know what hurricanes do I am grateful for those who studied and continue to study weather.

It's pronounced "E"mo, not "I"mo. ...and its not pronounced "Dalhouse"... its, "Dal-how-sie". Don't publish unless you know what you're talking about.
What's fascinating is how they could build massive ships to cross oceans with all kinds of tech and luxuries of the day with nothing more in the pilot house but a wheel, compass and accurate clock. The pilot house on great lake freighters were like little closets until the advent of things like radar, radios and gyrocompass's required more room.

Oddly enough British Columbia, Canada had it's own Flying Dutchman. A pirate that roamed it's shores, and one day murdered a Mountie. After he got caught, he actually held a world record for a while, and may still hold it. The World's Quickest Death by Hanging.
2 corrections about the Great Lakes: While they are the largest freshwater lake system by area, they are not by volume: lake Baikal alone holds more water in it than the entirety of Great Lakes combined. Also, Lake Superior is not the biggest lake by surface area in the world. That honour goes to the Caspian Sea (which is a lake), which is bigger in surface area than, again, the entirety of the Great Lakes combined.

Dumbass priest.
do not blame regulations for this. blame bad design
The truth is that Philadelphia was founded by Dutch witchmen who named the town after Delphi, home of the fabled but historically existent Oracle of Delphi. Philadelphia was, from its European rebirth, a center for shamanic and demonic rituals and spiritual experimentation. The U.S. military knew this, as the top level leadership relied on old world spiritual techniques such as “psychic intelligence”. By the time the ‘Philadelphia Experiment’ movie was made, the supernatural influence on our military was deeply covert and only known to a handful of top level men who rarely interacted with generals, admirals or most presidents for that matter. It is said that the Lizard King, aka Jim Morrison was conceived by his high ranking father and an unknown witch during a ritual passed down by none other than Alastair Crowley. Well, I’m rambling now but, you get the idea, the Philadelphia experiment wasn’t 100% factual, obviously, but owes it’s lore to actual happenings that left no trace with paper documents or other evidence, many missing or KIA soldiers were eliminated to prevent exposure and, yeah I’m gonna stop there.
This is true, I was a US Coast Guard PT3 on the USCG Salem Witch Trial, (PT was psychic technician). My job, essentially, was if the navigation equipment ever went down, I performed a seance with the souls of passed on navigators and asked them to give us a fix so we could keep sailing back to port.
@@MaritimeHorrors an honorable rank indeed, with roots stretching back long before the Flying Dutchman. Thanks for your service!
Who’d have thought a giant floating monument to hubris would sink? It’s never happened before.
Water most likely entered the cargo holds. With the cargo's nature, iron reacts with water, creating an acidic solution that can rip through hulls.
