I remember, during my Navy active duty days, being part of the USS Oriskany Battle Group. The narrator mispronounced the name of the carrier.

Art Deco, Oriskney, and Puget Sound are all mispronounced. BTW, deco is pronounced “Deck O” like the deck of a ship. And any fool can see that the ship shown on the left at 5:01 is not The Duke Of Lancaster.

The Kol-lock-Kol-La sat in Lake Union about the center of Seattle or so for a long time, we would go boating and get next to it and it was a mess ! the deck was about 8 inches of Rust ( The maim Floor) From the floor down was all very rusty metal not sea worthy in a Pond !

Frustrating hearing Oriskany mispronounced so many times. Hard to believe no one involved in the production of this video knew the correct pronunciation of this famous warship named for an equally famous Revolutionary War battle site. Someone should do some voice-over editing to correct this irritating mistake.

So! Is pug-it where pug dogs come from? Pew-jet! 😆

The Oriskany was at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo during the 1990's. I photographed it.

Hi, I was working onboard of the World Discoverer the day it sank. I love every video about this beloved ship. Although this video is a compilation, as a crew member, with a bit of pride, I feel obligated to fill you in with what really happened during the evacuation, as here 08:01 I find it over simplified. I made a quick video abuot it, check it out if you're interested.

i have seen the duke of lancaster a few times. its not to far from me. it was going to be a hotel and a restaurant dont remember it as an arcade but years of neglect has taken its tole. now and then you hear or new plans. but i imagine one day it will just be hauled of for scrap. there might be a problem with asbestos as this tends to be in a lot of old ships.

Wow. This one takes me way back to childhood on Puget Sound. The history of item 11, the ferry, is largely wrong. It started out as (I think) a ferry in San Francisco. As that city built its bridges, it retired most of its ferries, which Washington State bought to use in Puget Sound (Seattle area), They date from the 1920s. This one was rebuilt in the 1930s with the aluminum skin seen here. These were so lightly built that in any heavy sea, they would roll and wallow enough to scare the piss out of the passengers. "Luxurious" it was not. These ferries were noisy, and they shuck and vibrated loudly at every turn. After WWII, these ferries were replaced except this one, which had a tourist novelty about it. Around 1959, Washington started building modern, bigger and more powerful ferries to replace the second generation of boats, but this one stayed on out of nostalgic community resistance to scrapping it. In the late 1960s, it's lack of conveniences, hugely excessive operating cost, and being plain worm out, forced retirement. Thereafter, it was variously sold to a still-born project to run it on San Francisco Bay, then as a fish processing plant in Alaska. Finally, it was returned to Puget Sound under a crazy proposal to rehab it as a floating restaurant, where it sank. All show, and no go.
