Probably 20 years when I was living in cape may the twin capes was the best ferry you could get on. The nicest inside and out.

So sad to see a ship die brings a tear to your eye

I had the amazing opportunity to have been on her round trip (2 times). Both in terrible weather so windy lightning everywhere. But it was felt solid. She was just a joy to be on.

It is amazing that this video came up on my feed. I just went on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry YESTERDAY!

Does anyone else feel that, after her lengthy service of transporting vehicles, she should have had a few cars on board and strapped into place to keep her feeling useful in her afterlife?

Yes , it brought a tear to my eyes to think that majestic vessel who served for so very long , carried many generations across the sea , and in her final service she went down with grace as she welcomed the sea on board to be her final and permanent grateful passenger . May she become a fine home and location of security for the oceans creatures , and they won't even need a ticket !

Took the Twin Capes many times over the years..while living in southern Delaware and again on vacation. I remember in '77 when they closed down the ferry because of the ice floes coming down the Delaware. For those asking WHY THEY DID THIS and a million other questions, scroll through the comments before asking questions that make you look dumb.

I rode every ferry on this fleet on my lifetime, the 2 converted big ones imcluded. My first ferry ride was on the Cape May. I last rode Twin Capes in 2010.

She will be a treasure in the water in the future. Future divers to explore.

taken that ride twice,both times in the evening with a full moon.....just wonderful

Side note: just watched a nature show and New York sank 500 old subway cars to create reefs but they were made from inferior steel that caused the walls to quickly collapse leaving a junk pile of rusted useless steel. Sure this ferry will provideca great reef for fisjing & scuba diving. Thanks Joey for all the great vidios.

This was my favorite ship of the fleet. So sad

My wife and I sailed across Delaware Bay from Lewes to Cape May on a beautiful warm day on October 20, 2014. Our Ferry was The Cape Henlopen. We were driving up to Philadelphia after visiting my wife's cousin in Northern Virginia. I didn't want to drive up on the busy freeway so, while at home in Alaska, I looked for alternative ways to go and found out about the ferry and I made reservations from home. What a pleasant trip once we got off of I-95 and headed towards Annapolis on US 50. I love large bridges and driving across the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial Bridge crossing Chesapeake Bay east of Annapolis was amazing. The drive through the more rural parts of Maryland and Delaware was so beautiful. Landing at Cape May and driving up New Jersey on the Garden State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway for the first time was very interesting. Driving across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge was also another treat.

Real quick, the memory I'll share was that my wife (to be) and I used the ferry to visit my parents in Cape May. On one trip, we were idle chatting in the car and I mentioned something about having 10 kids. She sat up and said that she had to go jump overboard. 20+ years later she, and the 2 kids, are still around. Good times I still appreciate to this day.

This is crazy. I was on one of these last summer.

I worked on the Cape May Lewes ferry on the Twin capes which i got to pilot her and got to see the engine room Capt McCann was a good skipper and i loved the crew and my Co workers i was in food service department how sad is that and I am mad that was my favorite ship

The only time Ive ever gotten seasick was on a ferry. It was rough and that damn thing was top heavy and just rolled from side to side like she was gonna capsize. It was a ferry to Marthas Vineyard. As many of these that sink sorta makes me wonder if these things are all that safe.

I ride that ferry all the time when I go from NC to Wildwood NJ 💔🤞🏻

Yeah that’s what I’m advocating for. That bridge is really nice. It would be good for both sides of the Delaware.

Think how hammered you would get if you watched a bunch of these videos and took a drink every time someone said "There she goes!"

Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you That is how I know you, go on Far across the distance And spaces between us You have come to show you, go on Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never let go till we're gone Love was when I loved you One true time I hold you In my life we'll always go on Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on You're here, there's nothing I fear And I know that my heart will go on We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on

I’m gonna miss riding on that ship I’ve been on it countless times in my life

Omg I remember 2 years ago going to the ferry dock and watching this same ferry dock ☹️ memories

she will be missed rip twin capes

By far the nicest ferry in the fleet. I always enjoyed crossing on the Twin Capes. Sad ending to a beautiful ship. She will be missed .

It sure looks like some demo folks messed up, although it may settle correctly as planned, sitting on the bottom just like it floated on the water; however the way it went down seems it will end up on one of its sides, or even upside down.

Amazing video

Fascinating. Thx.

RIP boat! ⛵

Been on this. When it was first renovated. Crazy.

“Come back” Come back” Come back” My favorite ferry in the fleet ❤ I lived in Maryland most of my life and my dad was from South Philly, but he was working in Maryland when he met my mom and they stayed in Maryland… So many Jersey Shore summers growing up..Forget Ocean City Maryland. It was always Wildwood New Jersey, well, Atlantic City until the casinos came, so many ferry rides, I used to love when my dad would race to get to the ferry to make it by a certain time… in all honesty that was a big part of the trip.. just driving through Delaware, the back way ..going through so many little towns, to get to the ferry in Lewis DE ❤❤❤ P.S, I don’t actually hate Ocean City Maryland. It’s a cool place to go to once in a while. I’ll just take the Jersey shore any day.. Now I live in North Carolina, I’m all about OBX. My last visit to Wildwood was 2017. I hope to get back there one day before I go onto the next life..the next adventure.You rock Joey! Great first name, haha even though I go by my middle name now, Rocky

Wow Joey I just noticed the views on this. 7.5 million! Amazing!

Many happy memories on that ferry with family and friends over the years.

From what I’ve read, divers said it landed upright. Cool video. Ty for sharing

I worked at the ferry when that ship came up from Norfolk. I feel old.

I took the ferry to see my now husband for Liberty weekend and graduation in the summer of 1987. I loved the ferry

My wife and I took my father on the ferry boat back in the 90's on Father's Day. This may have been the boat we rode. We were foot passengers.

why did the saddest day in my life have to come back up. D.R.B.A 99-2003

It's a strange feeling to watch a ship you've been on sink below the waves.

It is a great video, I would recommend it for the viewer. Thanks!

eating cheese nachos at the snack bar in the 80s as a kid we used to walk on all the time for something to do

I've taken that ferry to my grandparents place many times for 20 years. Now they are feet feet under and the ship is 6 leagues under. Damn.

Do all ship never Made their Destination?

I was one a cape may ferry a few days ago

See that helpless poor thing nothing can do,just staying calm when the sea is voraciously engulfing it 😔

Traveled on Twin Capes many times, supposed they didn't pull the ferrys logo from her stack and use it as a plaque

That was a perfectly good car ferry, some people don't even have a car ferry. They could have gave me that ferry! Senseless!

So sad to see. My first crossing on the ferry was on the Twin Capes. She will be missed from the fleet.

I use to work on a dive team at an underwater park in Edmonds WA. We sank many boats to build marine ecosystems and dive attractions. This boat no doubt ended up on its side. This could have been prevented if whoever managed this would have placed ballast at the keel, preferably a little heavy at the bow. I have never been on this boat but, I would think shaft alley would also have been a good place to ballast as well. Oh, well, on the side is just as good. Fish dont care....

Una pregunta que hicieron con ese barco? Lo sacaron o lo dejaron ahí nomás ?

Is it upside down in the bottom?

underwater footage would have been so dope !

Celine Dion be like: "You're here, there's nothing I fear And I know that my heart will go on" 🎵

Silly question. but I wonder if everyone cut their motors and the right type of microphone was put in the water. Could we hear it hit bottom?

How did they sink it? I assume it was some sort of controlled detonation. Also, where exactly is this located? I’m assuming it will become a popular dive spot if it’s in a reasonable depth of water.

Are jack and rose on the end of that

J’adore la video te le meilleur de KZfaq

May she rest in piece

wow fantastic video

It’s amazing how fast the ocean can claim anything

An underwater camera showing the decent downward would have been great. Did they sink it shallow enough to be an artificial reef?

Wow I just filmed this boat maybe a few months before they sunk it. wow thats crazy..

Lol I like how it says "Welcome Aboard" right above the corridor where the water is coming aboard

This is heartbreaking. I can't watch

This feels like a funeral. Second shop that I have been on that sank. (First was the Queen of the North in Northern BC) What I had been told at the time: Neither the Cape May nor Twin Capes had greater car capacity (same original car deck). But required more staff to ooperatre becauyse of the additional bar etc. So costed more to run but didn't bring more passengers. Also, it was top heavy and harder to manoeuver in rough windy weather. (and this might explain how it sank). CMLF had sold off the Cape May (I think it was turned into a barge or some other unglorified use). But couldn't find a buyer for the Twin Capes. But still sad to see this go that way. I know I was on it in 2010 and 2012. And likely as a kid when my parents brought us down to Bethany Beach. (but back then, it woudln't have had the extended upper decks.)_

Great video.

Is tgus yhe one that went to lewis? If so ive been on that thing why would they ever sink it?

I never rode on this ship (I rarely get to Cape May), but for some reason I feel sad watching it go down. I guess thinking of all of the people who have traveled on her over the years. I guess now she will become a new home to sea life.

I understand doing this with single hull tankers and junky vessels but this one looked like it was in pretty good shape WHYYYY

Nice video👍👍👍

That's crazy...I just saw the update on the page about it

It's a shame to see a ship meet it's fate. The Twin Capes went into service in 1975, they put $27 million in rebuilding and refurbishments between 1994-1996. Taken out of service in 2013. Her end comes in a planned sinking 26 miles off the coast.

So sad and thank you for sharing this with us

Muy buen video!

every sinking boat reminds me the nightmare of Taitanic!

I worked on that vessel. She was lovely.

I can at least appreciate that this ship was chosen to become a reef rather than just sent to the scrapyard.

what happened with the passenger that ship

BUILT AT TODD SHIPYARD HOUSTON TEXAS. CHRISTENED AND, PUT INTO SERVICE TUESDAY MAY 20,1975. THE WORST MISTAKE WAS TRYING TO MAKE A CRUISE SHIP OUT OF IT. AFTER CONVERSION IT WAS TOP HEAVY AND, COULDN'T BE USED IN ROUGH WEATHER.

I took one of the ferry boats from Cape May to Lewes back in 1991 on vacation. Not sure if it was this one? Looks like it. It was pretty cool, first and only time I have taken a car on a ferry. We don't have many of these in the Midwest. Sad to see it go!

I have lived in Cape May my whole life. Glad to see them finally remove some junk. But logic would tell you to scrap the metal to get back some money, but here in Jersey logic doesn't exist. We rather sink stuff and pollute rather then to recycle the metal to build something new in the community.

what did the ferry hit?

Didnt it had anybody inside?plz anybody tell me

Welcome aboard - Atlantic

Water first entered through the "welcome aboard" gate !!!

How did it happen?

how did it sink

In 1977...I was on a 64' old Wooden fishing boat . We hit a Mooring Rope in The Kill Van Kull , Newark Nj. next to all the WW II scrap Navy ships. It pulled the bottom hull planks out from our boat. We were sinking. The owner of the boat Captain Bob had dove under the water and cut the rope with a Hacksaw. It took a long time to do it. We stayed afloat by keeping the throttle high and stayed moving so the water wouldn't come inside. The bildge pump worked while he cut the rope and it also just kept up enough to keep from sinking.. I will never forget that. I was scared to death about if we had to jump overboard into the 2nd Most polluted waterway in the world at the time. The Nile River was the # 1 most polluted water in the world. Talk about a "sinking feeling " in your stomach. Other than that, we had a wonderful time on the trip from Hackensack Nj Seaplane Base on the Hackensack River to the Atlantic Ocean just on the outer side of the Varronarrows Bridge near the Atlantic Highlands Nj and Staten Island NY

Every night in my dreams i see you i feel you

Why was it sinking?

We can re used the metals and woods of these boats

Welcome aboard.... Sea!

Was there anyone in there

Why did it has to sink in the ocean? Why couldn’t it be dis-assembled on land?

It I crazy to think that I had been of that ferry before it sunk

The irony of the “Welcome aboard” Stencils as it slips beneath the waves……

again a a big ship is vanished in the infinite blue h20

Just a question, do you mean all people drowned inside the ocean,? Or it had no people??

ليش ماتصنع منافيخ من تحت السفن للسلامه من الغمر ؟ بمثل ابواب الطائرات . ؟
