Me: "I'll just stay on the land-"
Wendi: "THATS HOW THE OCEAN GETS YA"

[A-jg]

Police: "So these three guys all disappeared in a middle of a boating trip, what do you think happened?"
Coroner: "Have you ever watched Final Destination?"

Wendigoon I’m literally begging you to make this a series. The ocean fascinates me and nothing else on YouTube compares to this quality

[BIastwave.]

I have a possible explanation regarding the “lost island” at 41:30. A lot of cartographers would put fake islands on their maps as a way of watermarking their work. If another cartographer created a map and included that island, the original artist would be able to point at the fake island and say “hey I made this island up, so I have proof that you stole my work.” I’m guessing it was a watermark that spiraled into a bigger lie

Wendigoon: "There were no signs of struggle."

Also Wendigoon: "The kraken did it."

[SpriteGuard]

The rest of YouTube: "The sea is in trouble, we need to save it!"
Wendigoon: "The sea *is* the trouble, and nothing can save us."

I love that Wendi used a frilled shark as an example for a giant monster's face but they're actually 6ft long and I personally think they're look dumb as rocks and are adorable

The "funny" thing about colossal squids is that an adult specimen has never actually been identified, which brings up the possibility that only adolescents specimens go to the surface once in a while and REALLY giant specimens are only found right at the bottom of the ocean.

[SgtBuck]

When asked why he didn't want to serve on a submarine, a naval officer once answered:
"There is a law of nature that says what goes up must always come down, but there's no such law of nature that says what goes down must always come up."

[VultureSkins]

Weather is terrifying, but ESPECIALLY on the ocean. There’s an area where there’s literally no wind, just a completely dead zone of ocean, that’s doomed so many ships and crews. The idea of a completely still ocean is horrifying to me.

Referring to the Kaz 2, as someone who has jumped off the side of a 25' boat into a lake, without a life vest, as a joke.... I think people seriously underestimate just how fast small boats are, even at a low throttle.

I almost died that day.

Less than 10 seconds after jumping into the water, the boat was well out of my swimming range.

Took about 45 seconds for my friend to slow down and turn the boat around. At that point, it would have taken me at least 15 minutes to swim that far.

And then came the wakes. Hitting me in the face. Choking me. Pushing me farther away.

Took them 45 seconds to turn around, and another 3 minutes to come back for me at a safe speed. By the time they reached me, I was so panicked I was about to go under.

Now, I go out on the lake pretty often. I jump off the side of a stationery boat without a vest and tread water all the time for more than 3 minutes.

But jumping off a moving boat is way different. I'll never do it again. Not even with a vest

[Robocopnik]

"Kraken" didn't even MEAN "giant squid monster" until fairly recently. Used to just be a big water monster, so big you'd mistake it for an island.

[thegreatskinkpriest]

Obviously what happened to the Mary Celeste is that they were waylaid by pirates, ordered to use the lifeboat to board the pirates ship, and then before the pirates could search the Mary Celeste, they were attacked by a Kraken.

British: By Jove, we barely escape a sea horrors grasp.

American: So anyway I started blastin

[bigprobllama]

When I was young growing up in a island in Greece, I would sit in a port at night fishing with my dad, looking at the Aegean. I was awestruck with the endless black sea at night and remember talking with my dad about those men, especially in ancient times, traveling the sea in wooden ships, days and nights, sailing to who knows where, and that they were the most courageous people in the history of humanity...
Sea is frightening indeed

[geraldkenneth]

A comforting thought about what might be living deep in the ocean is that, if it lives really deep, like Mariana’s Trench deep, then it wouldn’t be able to reach the surface without dying, as it’s internal fluids would be at the same pressure as it’s natural habitat, meaning it would burst if it ever came close to the surface

[LangstonDev]

Wendigoon: "-a sounding rod-"
Me: "I know what that is!"
W: "-a device used to measure water depth-"
Me: "Oh that's... That's not what I was thinking of."

[isaaccruz]

The US ship shooting at a sea monster immediately, is the most US thing ever

[kalajel]

Wendigoon: "Hey, do you have a phobia of the ocean?"

Me: "No..."

Wendigoon: "Would you like to?"
