@K9-Crazy
Thank you for sharing and telling this story, without people like you sharing these types of stories i feel they would be lost and forgotten history.

I come from Birkenhead where this ship was built and it is still a matter of great pride to those of us that remember. The painting that has been shown several times is based in the Williamson art gallery in Oxton. Prominent in this evocative painting is the fourteen year old drummer boy who when ordered to get into the lifeboat refused because he was in his uniform. We do not know what became of him or even his name. Great documentary and many thanks.

Possibly the most terrifying part of the ocean to be dropped into.

I love south African stories ❤ amazing video as always
@yvettegarcia1037
Huh, YT algorithms did me right for once! Just logged in, had never seen a video from your channel, and this was JUST uploaded? That worked out great!
@yakacm
For those that don't know Birkenhead is the other side of the river Mersey from Liverpool.

They always say sharks don't like eating people. That's exactly what the shark wants you to think.

In the autumn of 2007, a historical society I belong to visited the Royal Hospital Chelsea, including the museum. (It's group visits only for the entire establishment.) In a glass case, there were, and presumably still are, some buttons salvaged from the Birkenhead and I distinctly remember seeing one with the number 2 imprinted on it (Queen's Regiment). It was most poignant to see these buttons, knowing that all who had worn them had perished in a horrific way, but had still done their duty. R.I.P. to all those brave souls 🇬🇧.

I'm getting some USS Indianapolis vibes from this story. Thanks again.

tragic and fascinating. Many thanks for sharing,,,

Excellent video's and commentary. Appreciate displaying the imperial measurements for US viewers. Why the US doesn't convert to the metric system is beyond me.
@jackharrison6771
Thanks for posting this. I have been aware of this sad tale for some time. It occurs to me, that we could do with a little less 'stiff upper lip', sometimes.

Glad I already ate breakfast. LOL Thanks for the episode mate.

As a horse person I would have jumped on a horse because horses are good swimmers. I Used to swim my horses quite a bit and it’s easy to stay with them as they swim. I actually teared up listening to this story.

The cape of good hope has so many wreck stories and gruesome fates.

I can’t wait to find out if the shark had a “no women and children” policy… that title leaves a lot of options open 😂
@shellydesormier4646
This is the first of your videos I have come across, I really enjoyed it. I love the descriptions, the visual aids, maps etc... and the subject told so concisely. I have never heard of this sea disaster before, what a nightmare way to go. You can’t put up a fair fight with a shark... the cold bastards. RIP to the brave sailors and soldiers and horse who perished. Thank you for this excellent video from W Nevada 🇺🇸 ☮️🌸🐚
@JohnR1298
Well thank you for the best video on this tragedy I've seen so far. You've clarified a query about the horses especially! I can't imagine swimming two miles through such god awful horror 😳😲😢😪 In my younger days I could swim one mile in a pool which took me an hour (when I would stop as I was getting hungry😊) Thanks again 👍, liked & subscribed 😊
@cynomain2068
i didn't know horses were such good swimmers for 7 out of 8 to make it that far
