One would be amazed the lack of knowledge of big YouTube posters not knowing what is meant by “port”, and “starboard” sides of a ship. This video was spot on. Thank you!!!

Sea Diamond segment included photo of Costa Concordia. Two different ships sinking in two different places in different years. Still dramatic and traumatic for those onboard.

What about the Minnow??? "The weather started getting rough
The tiny ship was tossed
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The minnow would be lost, the minnow would be lost"

Please don’t think your humor in the Carnival Triumph ‘breakaway’ went unnoticed. That whole narrative had humor in it that appropriately took advantage of the facts presented. Great job!

Andrea Doria and Stockholm.
Andrea Doria sank, Stockholm was repaired and renamed several times, still exists today.

The environmental consequences of these maritime incidents are truly alarming. The Prestige oil spill, for instance, devastated local ecosystems and impacted countless livelihoods, illustrating how a single error can ripple through communities and nature alike. It makes one ponder whether the maritime industry is doing enough to prioritize environmental safety over profit. While it’s clear that investigations and regulations are in place, the frequent nature of these disasters suggests a systemic issue. The Golden Ray’s lengthy salvage operation showed how complicated recovery can be, but it also highlights the need for proactive measures. If we continue to see a pattern of negligence, how many more ecosystems will suffer before we see meaningful change?

Was expecting a segment on the Mont Blanc, a cargo ship full of ammo exploded in the Halifax harbor after being hit by another ship.

it's so haunting to see huge ships crash and sink in the middle of the ocean! it's like a plane crash!

I would just like to point out that you said it tore a gash on its starboard side and the video you made is of the port side (#1)

Why would an insurance company employee get time in prison?

Why does the narrator say that the ship struck the "Delta" support of the "Bay Bridge", but the video shows nothing but the Golden Gate Bridge? I caught some mispronunciation and irrelevant pictures to the description, too, but still some interesting videos.

Can't blame Carnival Triumph trying to escape Mobile, Al. Have you been to Mobile, Al.
Port of entry for Fire Ants and in the 1980's was the VD capital of the USA. Only two of the many reasons to try and escape Mobile. 
But, yea, blame it on the wind.

So the ship that ran aground in the suez canal that interrupted the trade of dozens of nations didn't make this list??

Love the pronunciation of "Tan-zany-er"! It's Tan-zan-ear!

It’s just sad how much damage is happening to our oceans.
