found something to watch to sleep tonight

Sinking a real warship for a Hollywood movie, only a film buff would know. Now that's what I call a practical effect.

[mec-animalattacks]

I discovered something to watch tonight to help me sleep.

[jasongaston]

my hometown May God Bless us all loved Chicagoans

[Lois_Burt]

Thank you for this comprehensive video, I can't imagine how much effort it took for you to do it🌹

[cynicaltroll]

I like how the episode starts with Drain Chicago. Its proper cause that place is a swamp 🤣

[gracepark-pfks]

I can't believe this is a fascinating episode of the city I grew up in!!!

[teresakelton]

thank you for streaming, and making these videos. I read the National Geographic magazine back in the day.

National Geographic—please do more on Great Lakes wrecks! I’ve recently started reading books about the storms, the crews, the ships, planes, etc., but video like this is much appreciated. (You could also slightly ratchet down the dramatic tone, but hey, that’s up to you…)

7:35 "And crystal clear" We all wish Michigan was crystal clear.

[DeerheartStudioArts]

When the narration says the ship is covered with mussels, it looked to me like they are barnacles!😊

[User-aplnk]

Very cool watch but goes to show that those with wealth could still put pressure on others regardless of the cost

[joshualangdon]

Lake Michigan is only Icey cold in the fall leading to winter and the winter leading to spring.

Monfalcone: and that's the history of cruise ships in today's generation

[Eric-qovv]

It really is mind blowing how unscrupulous they were about all thw waste

[nancyaustin]

Er, correction here—the two conversions of ships into aircraft carriers wasn’t done in Chicago. Both happened in Buffalo.

[StillYHWHs]

This show is very good. I like it. The Commentator's voice is perfect for it.
However, with the exception of the constant stopping in the middle of his sentences.
It works for suspense.
But not, for this type of show ( Commentaries).

I believe the chain to the anchor got caught under the huge rock and tore a giant hole in the boat. The evidence looks clear.

[everettwalker]

People lived on and around a lake and didn't know how to

[bryanpetersen]

This guy hasn’t been to Chicago in a while
