Since when did Indianapolis sink in the drake passage? Not even close. Give your balls a tug.

Who else thought it was a real life lore video?

0:47 No, Francis Drake was active in the 16th century (1500s), not the 15th century (1400s).

USS Indy didn't sink here - not even close.

Prevailing winds affect currents, not the other way around, as you have it, from what I hear you say.

All this was interesting. But the Indianapolis was way up in the Pacific ocean. The survivors swam for days while getting picked off one by one by sharks. Drake passage is to cold to swim for hours, let alone a week. You gave me a brain implosion till reality pumped me back up.

As a Marine Engineer working on the 'James Clark Ross' and 'Bransfield', with the British Antarctic Survey (1991-1999) we sailed across 'Drakes Passage' many times, headed for Faraday, Signy and Rothera bases to resupply, believe me, the storms on these voyages can be horrendous.

That music is horrible. I had to stop after 3 minutes.

It's insane no one sees that ancient drake hibernating with it's nostrils posing as equal distance quarter to half circle volcanoes along the snout. I can't believe it, .

[yeah]

My toxic trait tells me to go there at least once

Shackleton made it through that passage in dinghys from Antarctica to South America.

[wuodathero]

Leviathan lives there.. that's the main reason

[iviewthetube]

You can see vessels going around South America on vesselfinder.

Kris sailed a schooner around the horn of Mexico, went aloft to curl the main during a blow. Don't say it can't be done.

[royrogers]

And all this time I thought it was because of pirate penguins.

Caption Cook never discovered New Zealand. Able Tasman did. He also discovered Australia.

The Indianapolis was sunk in the Philippine sea. Are you high?

[karmasaraswati]

The Indianapolis was sunk by a Japanese sub in the pacific after delivering the bomb for the England gay. Get your info right .

The drake passed could be fitting to put a mega dam that can generate much electricity, if we acquired type 1 civilization technology.

"Terra Australis Incognita" is Latin, not Ancient Greek. The Ancient Greeks may have thought about it and called it something different, or the Romans might've and they could've called it Terra Australis Incognita, but Ancient Greeks were not calling the hypothesized land "Terra Australis Incognita".
