She was tired in this video... But still the most beautiful lady in the Seas

The greatest and largest oceanic vessel to ever sail on water. It breathed its last at Alang in India. Trust me, it should have been preserved for generations to see this unmatched man made creation. :(

Despite the negative comments, well done poster. Not everyone has BBC cameraman skills.

This giant needs 5 miles to come to a total stop!!

Not the worst camera-job ever but a good candidate.

That was the largest ship ever built in human history. Scrapping it was a mistake.

Wow, these are excellent videos - yes a little rough - but they capture this giant perfectly. You can see from your videos that in truth she had seen better days, and was a bit rough inside compared to a new ship. All the same, her demise is a loss to the world of shipping.

the biggest ship ever built, no longer exist , thank you for showing it the last time.

Holy Ship..

Wow what an amazing historical piece of film 🎉

That ship looks like it has seen some better days.

wow the tug dropping off the capt or port capt was done flawlessly on the port side amazing

Very nice video. Loved it !!!!!!

At 4:13 you can clearly read the name Jahre Viking on the hull. And this ship looks exactly like in the pictures you can see on the Internet if you search by this name. So, what other ship could it be? Now about crossing the Suez, who knows... Maybe if it was empty. I don't think its 68.8-metre beam would be much of a problem, only the draft could be an issue. And it looks empty in this video.

the ocean looks nice, thank you for showing it but I am more interested in the boat

Imagine that blocking the Suez Canal

Best cinematography in 2001

wow wonderful video

rare and valuable footage. the last memories of a giant that once lived and disappeared.

wonder if Dennis hoppers aboard rallying the troops to look for Kevin Costner?

The ship itself just radiates "piss off, I'v seen it all". A respectable dinosaur of the seas. to bad it didn't get a final resting place but has been scrapped... Saw the anchor is in front of the Maritime museum in HongKong. But I assume the camera man didn't get an Oscar for this video...

Looks in bad shape here. The day of the super super tankers was the 70s 80s the fact it survived till 2010 with today's running costs is impressive. Oil tankers seem to be getting smaller now. nice video did the job

o tamanho impreciona!!!!!! é um petroleiro gigantesco!!!

5.5 miles that needed to stop from full speed of around 16 knots bloody crazy

@Milten36 the weight of the oil lowers the ship. In this video she was empty, or near empty

You have been blessed by appearance of the god of ship

Lovely tire and blue paint

Try getting this thing out of the canal if it got stuck in there...makes the Evergreen look like a dinghy..!

Did they ever wash it?

It’s almost scary to see how large that thing is in the distance, slowly creeping up

Jahre Viking = Vessel Legend

@ 2:38" , is this Port Tewfick? The very end of the Suez Canal sailing towards the Red Sea?

Suez canal: "I'm in danger" 2021

That thing is terrifying and awesome

Quit saying the video is crap. Didn't you read the description? Its windy!

RIP Happy :(

One of the most stable ships in human history and the camera man tries to make us sea sick

What an amazing vessel, and how sad she's gone. They should've made her a museum rather than scrapping her. Thanks for the awesome video.

@thehoff1982 True, but on the other hand, it is just shaped metal. We have the ability to build what we like, including another one..

I didnt realize Michael J. Fox had a youtube channel, and i guess he was using the latest and greatest of potatoes to record. 16 years on the water and i get sea sick on my couch, thanks!

I am getting sea sick just from watching this Video.....

Light draft is the ship's draft when empty of oil. Loaded with oil, she can't use the canal.

The cameraman is really struggling. Not sure what he could do about the rocking of his boat and the really windy conditions. I give him an 'A' for effort.

good camera work

@thehoff1982 no she sadly isn't more than scrap metal :/ just the maintenance costs of having her anchored somewhere would probably be like $10k a day..

imagine the bilge pump on that thing. Must be like Niagara falls.

O motor do barquinho deles é um Pérkins hahaha ;)

That thing is massive!! :D

The Jahre Viking was propelled by 2 single cylinder Lister D engines, air cooled rated at 1.5 h.p each made in Dursley in England. Man they had some power....🙄😉

Nick from the Beachcombers bought it on the quiet from the Indians and now cruises in her along the Canadian coast pickin up driftwood. Nick was the originally intended buyer, but when the TV series began he didn't have the time to float her so the deal fell through. Yes, Nick was Greek.

old king of the ocean .

Going for a scrap, going for loading, south bound through Marlborough Canal, ballast run from Aruba? Which one is it? By the way, I saw this ship many times in Kuwait and lastly I saw it in 2004 outside Dubay dry dock, to be converted to FSO or FPSO, not sure. Organize the facts in your video

thos who see that big ship is lucky

If its to deep for the english channel,how did she get to Antifer supertanker berth in France ?:)

nice videoing can even get a good look at it.

Its seen some better days..

@thetrolone too late! check out midship century. it makes me both mad and sad!!! r.i.p jahre viking xxx!

@xoio true, but it would only be a replica. would you gho and look at a reprint of the mona lisa?

that thing probably larger than even the largest version of godzilla holy hell

They could make it a drag strip, it's the perfect length.

at over 1500 ft, will they ever build another one that long again?

Seeing her like that hurts me :(

R.I.P Jahre Viking

To the would be Hollywood Studios movie camera operators who appear here..........." Have you ever, as an amateur tried to hold on to a movie camera, film and at the same time not fall overboard? Especially during bad weather, in these waters which i know only too well. Those not on the dance floor know a lot of dances!!!

Brutal

terrifingly cool

@thetrolone The scrapping is almost done, less than half of the ship remains.

WOW! Seawise Giant is seriously *THAT* big ?!!

Would have been a spectacle to treasure..👍

Anyone else get recommended this is 2021 after the incident 😂😂

@markhellstone yeah but 100 million dollars are pretty much, and then think of the money needed to keep it maintained

Niesamowite dzieło stworzone przez człowieka dla ciekawości dodam że (poprzednie nazwy: Jahre Viking, Happy Giant, Seawise Giant ). został zbudowany w 1976 r przez stocznię Sumitomo H.I. w Japonii. W grudniu 2009 roku nazwa statku została zmieniona na Mont i statek udał się w swój ostatni rejs do Indii gdzie został zezłomowany

@thehoff1982 i couldnt agree more! shame its happened now :(

Só falta aprender a filmar agora haha

I think this monster man made machine should return back and sail on water as a new form.

I wonder if it ever docked at port of LA.

@tupsumato So i take it we shouldn't bother preserving anything because of the costs involved. i'm so glad all the museums in the world don't think the same way, "lets get rid of all these egyptian relics and dinosaur bones because our last electricity bill was a bit steep"!

Wow full stop

@plbjim SHE HAS BEEN BEACHED AT ALANG IN INDIA BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET ACCURATE UPDATES ON HER. IS THERE NO-ONE ON HERE WHO LIVES NEAR ALANG WHO CAN GIVE US THE LATEST VIDEOS/PICTURES OF HER? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.

@thetrolone Its scrapped already,

Will they make a ship like this again ?

@Janusha so i guess we should close every museum in the world because of costs? do you keep your telly off in the evening because of cost? this is about maritime heritage - not cost!!!

Paul Greengrass worthy filming.

Was this her last journey? Why is the hulk in bad condition?

The accomodation block says clearly this is the JAHRE VIKING, and even the bow shape is incomparable. What did made you say perhaps this wasn't her?

Fully loaded : 657019 metric tons . God damn ......

@Janusha yeah, and it never will be now! those 2500 year old temples were once just obsolete 30 year old outdated buildings, but someone put historical value and tradition over cost. it takes money to keep anything preserved, how much do you think it costs in security and insurance just for the mona lisa? i'm not saying it wouldn't have been really expensive, but certainly worth the cost of building a dry dock to store it in, people would have paid to come and see her.

@Janusha oh really, so there is another ship out there which matches the jahre vikings statistics? what's it called? and btw, yes, you should look after your cup, lol. also, they've done a very good job of preserving stephensons rocket, roman coins, medieval swords, the eiffel tower, the spruce goose and ironbridge! imagine if someone had saved noah's ark! i bet someone like you back then said "it's worth more to us as fire wood, plus it will eventually rot anyway" - if you believe in all that.

It is quite literally 10 times the size of the Titanic.

why is no-one doing anything to save the largest ship in history? she is more than just metal to be broken up and sold!

@thehoff1982 she hasen´t been broked up, she is used like a oil central, but they have removed the engines and stuff like that! but jesus she is mighty!! 485 meters long

Why not construction this ulcc type in this era??? WHY?! Incredible crazyng to navigation company!

The seawise giant should have been preserved

I didn't think it would fit, even completely unloaded

Iam sure its not the viking its some other ship.and can viking cross panama

one big tub...

It's nowhere near 29 metres when it is in ballast ie not loaded

Um videosinho muito chibata esse.

@thehoff1982 Check out the Batillus tankers... nearly as long, but they ARE the Heaviest ships ever created & with slightly more gross tonnage than Jahre King.

I don't see you guys with videos holding the camera still.......just saying.
