Reed N Prince, not Phillips.

@@tmiklos4 Do you know if Reed & Prince was making this type of screw when they started in 1886?

@Richard Charles Thanks for that, I was having a hard time finding that information. 👍

It also looked like plywood flooring. Not sure when that made the scene, but maybe not in the 30's.

lol

So, it will only take 50 years to forget lake mead?

@@powoodworker1751 yes, there are kids today that can't remember what happened last year

In 1972, at Lake Mead I watched a fiberglass, V-8 powered speed boat catch fire and burn in a few inches of water due to an over heated engine which melted the fuel line. The V-8 was huge, w/a turbo charger. The owner abandoned it where it sat.

Sad but true!

Could they go back and pick their boat up again what happens to the boats could anyone go and drag any of these back

I wonder that myself. What’s the story behind the sinking?

Their nobody’s boat anymore, insurance wrote them off

Agree with your assertion. Given the stem head profile, it's probably post WW2 to mid 1950's vintage.

Lets pray it fills up again.

"...before it fills up again." Oh, that's hilarious! Take your time, buddy. Full Pond is scheduled for the day after never ;-)

@@branchandfoundry560 lol cmon have faith.

@@quailshootr6389 I do have faith. I have faith that the glory days of blind ignorance followed by blatant denial are over and it's time to face reality.

Acktually

Discarded boats mostly. A few might have sunk by accident. Good fish structure. Oil is long gone

Now they're desert art.

So...you're saying the castaways on Gilligan's Island were not in fact shipwrecked?

Sensitive sailor ……. Geeez

Yeah, my guess is it's a homebuilt vessel. Definitely after 1930 when standard/uniform dimensional lumber was introduced.

- I heard 8" a day which would be 20' in a month. The 3rd intake is leaking to middle Earth. Data centers are sucking it dry also. Henderson, NV and Mesa, AZ. (evaporative cooling for servers) You aren't told the billions of gallons they take per day.

@@damkayaker - curious why they would not use a glycol solution in a Closed Loop....

@@DKSorg - $$$$ and if (no it does) Google works hand in hand with a government that wants to know everything about it's citizens while at the same time pushing the climate change because humans are bad. The climate has changed throughout the eons when humans weren't even here. So they get free water and electricity. The 3rd intake was completed in 2015. Construction of the Henderson, NV data center started in 2019. Between 2015 and present day how much has the elevation of the lake dropped? I can't give you a quick number but if you look at a graph of that data you'll see a sharp drop off. So look at the enormous size of that 3rd intake and ask yourself why is it so much bigger than the 1st and 2nd intakes. The tunnel is about 25' - 30' in diameter! Why that large? Who knows for sure if another TBM didn't drill another tunnel under the lake for GOD knows what. Don't believe they use water to cool their servers on the cheap (to them) screw everyone else? Meta Is Adding Three Data Centers to Already Massive Mesa Campus The amount of water necessary to cool Facebook data center campuses in the US (including an “East Coast Leased Data Center Facility”) was 3 million cubic meters (790 million gallons) in 2020, according to the company’s own sustainability report. www.datacenterknowledge.com/meta-facebook/meta-adding-three-data-centers-already-massive-mesa-campus We are ignoring the true cost of water-guzzling data centers gcn.com/cloud-infrastructure/2021/10/we-are-ignoring-the-true-cost-of-water-guzzling-data-centers/316441/ The Henderson, NV data center is Google/KZfaq so right now you and I are wasting water. 1983 when the spillways were overflowing ... was that before the internet? I believe it was!

@Rob Arthur and the Great Lakes aren't man-made and they're not in the middle of the desert get a clue dude

@@curtisbacon7856 exactly...it's the middle of the desert, there isn't supposed to be a lake there. This is nature taking back the land.

There is a Utube on that tank, several retrieval efforts have failed to date

No, you are the first one. 😊

If i know About how long it is i can provide a photo of what it looked like when new.

@@tmiklos4 m

That's a very similar boat

Oh yeah, a few videos back 🤙

Someone had to much to drink sunk thier boats. Before driving and drinking was outlaw

There’s a Higgins boat on display at the WWII Museum in New Orleans if anyone would like to see one in good condition.

Philips screw heads. They looked clean though. Like they were stainless?

I think the same, just by the Philips screws at 3:26, I think it's from the 50's, maybe 60's. If it was from the origin of the dam, those screws would've been flat head screws.

some things like old sunken boats become more than trash, they become artifacts showing their histories and time periods with their wear. Take the higgins boat for example- maybe when it sunk it was an old junker bygone from a 20 years ago war- but now after decades under that water it helps connect the youth of today with that war, showing the true scale of what they've only seen in movies and games. It will also connect with future generations that may not have a lake mead to look back to and remember (hopefully not but never rule out possibilities). As for how dirty they make the water? pretty negligible with how few boats there are at the bottom so far, if there was 50 boats on top of each other- yeah i'd say clean it up- but that's not the case here.

Not getting refilled.

There's plenty to clean up without erasing history.

Fish structure... Barren bottom lakes fish population is near nothing. Artificial reefs. Motor oil is long gone. Glad they scratched the lame idea to get water from where I live and work; the Mississippi River.

Let's put it this way it's taken 20 years for the lake to get to this point. It may take twice that long to the lake to go back to where it was who knows remember the Mayan culture was wiped out because of drought

I was going off of the positioning of the interior components such as what looked like the steering wheel.

Dried silt? What is there to see in crusty silt?

Thanks, love it also! Found it at Wal-Mart. 👍

That's what I would love to know. I think it would make a great story.

@@dawnr9158 me too How do we fix this

@@jaredharder8048 there's got to be someone doing some research, I would think. I thought for sure people would be popping up saying hey, that's my boat! 😀

Someone in the last video said they think one boat was their parents

@@dawnr9158 me too I've tried looking into it and just comes up with the videos we're seeing

Agreed.
