FYI, the biggest reason to recover metals from sunken wrecks is not commonly known. But any metal refined before 1944 is highly prized for scientific purposes, because before that year all metal alloys were not exposed to nuclear radiation from atomic tests/bombs. So yes even today, everything on Earth still shows some contamination, though minor, from use and tests of nuclear bombs.

You forgot the Battleship Bismarck, in a 4800 m deep

Bismarck one of the most beautiful ships you forgot

The wreck of the German Battleship Bismark and a number of submarines have been found that are as deep as these wrecks, plus a number of U.S. and Japanese air craft carriers. These wrecks should be included.

Whoever comprised this list completely forgot about Bismarck who rests at a depth of 15,700ft

SS Rio Grande (German Blockade Runner), being sunk by gunfire of USS Omaha (CL 4) and USS Jouett (DD 396) after they intercepted her in the South Atlantic, 4 January 1944. Her crew attempted to scuttle her, but were removed by the two U.S. Navy ships prior to their opening fire to sink her.

The Bismarck is deeper then the Titanic

If educational videos are made, they need to be accurate.

This list is inaccurate. Off the top of my head, it is missing the Bismarck at 4,572 meters, the Yorktown at 5,075 meters, and probably others. Terrible research skills.

You forgot to mention that the Indianapolis delivered the components for the atomic bomb ending World War II

Rio Grande was sunk in 1944, not 1996. It was found in 1996.

Ships float due to their design and ability to displace water. When you put something that floats in the water, it presses down against the water and pushes it out, but the water also presses up against the object. In order for something to float, it needs to weigh less than the weight of the water that it displaces. So weight and geometry are the two factors that determine if something will float. This is why large ships are shaped to a point at the bottom, because it allows for a lot more water displacement. This is also why cargo ships have lines with numbers painted on the sides. You can calculate the weight of the cargo you're picking up, by comparing how low in the water it is to how much lower it gets in the water after you've loaded the cargo.

Bismarck has left the chat

While the description clears things up, the title is misleading, as these are not _the_ 7 deepest shipwrecks, like the title implies, just 7 _of the_ deepest.

What about the german Battleship Bismarck? Her Wreck lies in a depth of 4.800 Meters.

What about SS El Faro, which was a roll-on/roll-off container ship that sank during Hurricane Joaquin in 2015? It lies at 15,000 feet (4,600 meters) at the bottom in the Atlantic about 35 nautical miles from Crooked Island

The kms bismarck should have been on this list it’s deeper than the titanic is

there should be 8 on here, the ship left out is the German Battleship Bismarck

2:41 "Sir Face" 🫡

The Titanic was actually lost on 15 April 1912, not the 14th as you have it listed.

What about the Bismarck?

3:51 The SS Rio Grande was lost on January 4, 1944, not in 1996, lol

USS Hornet (CV-8) famous for launching the Doolittle Raid. The ship lies at a depth of 5400m. And of course, Battleship Bismarck: 4800 m.

What about the German battleship Bismarck?

There are a lot of factual errors in this video. I doubt the SS Rio Grande was sunk vy US warships in 1995 as it was a German blockade runner and I pretty sure the Germans have not been at war with US, Uk or their allies since end of WWII in1945. USS Samuel Roberts was a destroyer or destroyer escort rather than a battleship like the USS New Jersey

Rio Grande sunk in 44 not 1996

Why is the sinking date from SS Grande blurred?

I was on all of these ships.

its scary to think about all the things that has been sunk, destoryed or even fell into the ocean and we will never find it

Akagi and Kagi are around 18,000 feet. I believe they were found in 2019.

Although sunk by the US Navy for test purposes, the USS America CV-66 is at a depth of 16,800 feet (5,120 meters).

what about bismark

Great video. But where is The german ship The bismack?

The USS Samuel *B Roberts* is a Destroyer Escort, a *tiny* ship in comparison to a Battleship.

At around 5:32 you call the ship a "battleship." It's not a battleship! It's a destroyer!

Didn't the Indianapolis carry the atom bomb

Some random fishing boat in the bottom of Mariana trench: don't mind me I'm chillin 🗿

How about The Bismack?

A quick explanation on what these ships actually were: SS Winfield Scott- A steamship that transported passengers and cargo between Panama and California during the California Gold Rush. It crashed off Middle Acanapa Island and sank with no casualties. Mary Rose- A Tudor-era carrack. Sank during the Battle of the Solent, apparently when she heeled too far and her open gunports were dunked in the ocean. Her wreck has been raised and is currently in a museum. Ray of Hope- a freighter sunk purposefully as an artificial reef. A nice diving site if you're in the area. USS Kittiwake- A submarine rescue ship (meaning a ship that rescues submarines, not a submarine that rescues ships), also sunk as an artificial reef. Dokos Shipwreck- A shipwreck site off the island of Dokos, presumed to be a sunken Ancient Greek trader. The ship isn't actually there any more, having rotted away, but its cargo remained. RMS Rhone- a steam/sail cargo and passenger ship that sunk due to a hurricane in the Caribbean. Superior Producer- A costal cargo ship and one of the best-known diving sites in Curacao. She sank in rough seas due to being overloaded, though the crew abandoned ship safely. SS Thistlegorm- An armed cargo steamship sunk in the Red Sea by German aircraft. Vasa- A Swedish Ship of the Line. Sunk a few minutes into her maiden voyage due to being poorly balanced. Was raised and is now a museum, much like the Mary Rose. SS Yongala- a cargo and passenger freighter that sank off Bowling Green, Australia, in a cyclone. She was lost with all hands, and no one realized she'd sunk until debris started to wash up on shore. SS Umbria- Italian cargo ship caught carrying war contraband and scuttled by the British. U-352- German submarine sunk while on patrol off the coast of South Carolina by depth charge from the coast guard cutter Icarus. Sea Tiger- A Chinese-owned vessel confiscated by the US Coast Guard when it was found to be carrying illegal immigrants, and later sunk as an artificial reef off Oahu. Costa Concordia- a cruise ship that ran aground and tipped over. Big news story when it happened. Kronprinz Wilhelm- A WW1 German battleship, scuttled in Scapa Flow after the end of the war. RMS Empress of Ireland- A Scottish passenger liner that sunk following a collision with a collier in a heavy fog. USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenburg- US Navy transport sunk as an artificial reef. Bristol Blenheim Bomber- Not technically a shipwreck. This is actually a crashed Bristol Blenheim, a British light bomber plane of early WW2, off Malta. Wilhelm Gustloff- German military transport sunk by a Soviet submarine while evacuating civilians. Nippo Maru- Japanese freighter turned munitions transport that sank after being bombed in WW2. If you want the Nippon Maru with an extra N, she's a museum ship. Black Jack B-17 Bomber- Another crashed aircraft, this one at Papa New Guinea. USS Saratoga CV-3 - An aircraft carrier converted out of an unfinished battlecruiser. Saratoga survived the war and was sank by an atomic bomb as part of the Operation Crossroads teets. SS Andrea Doria- An Italian passenger liner that collided with another liner off Massachusetts and sank, though most of the passengers and crew survived due to good handling of the disaster. MS Estonia- A cruise ferry that sank in the Baltic Sea, apparently because the bow door failed under waves pounding it. RMS Republic- A White Star Liner that collided with the SS Florida in heavy fog. The ship was equipped with wireless, and its distress call saved all of the passengers and crew except the six who died in the collision. RMS Lusitania- A Cunard liner sunk off Ireland by a German U-boat due to her use as a munitions transport vessel. As she was not armed and was carrying a load of passengers when she was sunk, nobody bought the Germans' claims and it was a significant factor in the United States joining the war later. For the record- yes, she was absolutely carrying munitions, which is a bit of a problem for salvage efforts. HMHS Britannic- Titanic's younger sister, co-opted by the Royal Navy and turned into a hospital ship, later being sunk by a mine. RMS Carpathia- A Cunard liner famous for coming to the rescue in the aftermath of the Titanic's sinking. It was later turned over to the Royal Navy and used as a troop transport and armed merchant cruiser. being torpedoed while escorting a convoy by a German U-Boat, though most of the people onboard were able to leave safely. Yolanda- A Cypriot cargo ship that grounded on a reef. It's so deep nowadays because it actually fell off the reef in a storm and had to be re-discovered. Yamato- A massive battleship belonging to Imperial Japan, sunk during Operation Ten-Go (Yamato was to beach off Okinawa and act as gunfire support for the island) by as many American aircraft as would fit in the sky. Dona Paz- A Philippine passenger ferry that sank following a collision with an oil tanker. Her loss is the world's deadliest peacetime maritime disaster. USS Independence (CVL-22)- A light aircraft carrier converted from a light cruiser, serving the USN. She survived Operation Crossroads, but was later scuttled off the Farallon Islands. SS Robert E. Lee- Passenger steamship torpedoed by a U-Boat on its way to New Orleans. K-278 Komsomolets- A Soviet nuclear attack submarine that sank off Norway due to a fire onboard. USS Thresher (SSN-593)- A USN nuclear submarine that sank during deep diving tests. SS La Bourgogne- A French passenger liner that sunk during a collision with a sailing ship during a heavy fog. USS Scorpion (SSN-589) - A US nuclear submarine. Lost with all hands and no one knows exactly why, being one of four mysterious submarine disappearances in that year. RMS Titanic- A White Star Liner that rather famously struck an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic and was lost with a good chunk of her passengers and crew. K-8 Project 627A- A Soviet nuclear submarine that sank due to onboard fires in the Bay of Biscay. KMS Bismarck- A German battleship that sortied to attack Atlantic convoys, sunk HMS Hood, and was then chased and sunk by pretty much the entire Royal Navy for destroying their flagship. K-129- A Soviet submarine that vanished after setting off on a patrol from the Kamchatka Peninsula, in the same year as the Scorpion's loss. It might have been something with her batteries, human failure, or she might have collided with the USS Swordfish, another submarine that collided with something (officially ice) and broke its periscope. USS America (CV-66)- A USN supercarrier used in weapons tests. USS Indianapolis- A USN heavy cruiser that was sunk by a Japanese submarine after returning from a mission to deliver critical components for the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima. SS Rio Grande- A German blockade runner sunk by USN destroyers. Held the title of deepest shipwreck in the world until shipwrecks from the Battle off Samar (which took place over the Philippine Trench) were discovered. USS Johnston- A USN destroyer sunk during the Battle Off Samar after seeing away a force whose largest gun turrets outweighed the Johnston in its entirety. Deepest shipwreck in the world until Samuel B. Roberts, a destroyer escort sunk in the same battle, was discovered.

You forgot about the battleship Bismarck, it's deeper than the titanic, your not accurate. Ballard found that one as well

Shipwreck for Humans = New home for marine animals

I like her voice

Why didn't the Bismarck get a mention?

Reckon I could snorkel to the USS Samuel B. Roberts? 😂

I know what actually happened to the Titanic

How is it all 5 of the ships shown deeper than Titanic all have way clearer and brighter pictures?

These ships have nothing on me. Cause my whole life my mom told me I was IN DEEP SHIT

This video makes me wish KZfaq still showed the like/dislike ratio

The caption of the Rio Grande is inaccurate the illustration is of a liberty ship of the same name. She was scuttled when confronted by two US warships on 4 January 1944 having set of from Japanese held suribaya in autumn 1943 in 2018 many rubber bales were washing ashore with markings of Japanese occupied Malay and Vietnamese plantations and it's believed that the Philippine cobalt has been salvaged and probably much of the copper and tin. Indeed the blockade runners whilst interesting were a testament to how weak the axis was with ships having to run the gauntlet all the way from Indonesia to France and whilst the value of the tonnage was much greater than what was shipped by the allies on the whole it was pathetic in contrast. She was part of a flotilla of five and only one reached France in the last attempt to use surface ships for blockade running. The runners would leave France and Japanese held south east Asia in the autumn in radio silence and U boats were banned from attacking lone unidentified ships in case of striking one which did happen with the loss of the speybank. They would only radio in distress as the Rio Grande attempted to do but was jammed. There are interesting websites and books on the topic of the blockade runners also Japan refused to commit any ships of its own which caused annoyance to Germany and Italy. The cobalt was used in lathe and milling machine bits and aero engine alloys

didnt know a destroyer counted as a battleship now

Video title is misleading because they are talking about deepest wrecks from which salvage was recovered, if I understood correctly.

The Samuel B. Roberts was not a battleship. It was a destroyer escort

Its not a rescue effort its a salvage effort...

What research was done to conclude this list? It’s horribly inaccurate. Right off the bat I know USS Wasp(American Carrier) was discovered about 14,000 feet deep. The German battleship Bismarck was discovered around 15,000. USS Hornet(American carrier) is over 17,000 feet deep. And 3 carriers sunk at the battle of midway (IJN Kaga, IJN Akagi, and USS Yorktown are close to 18,000 feet down. Those are just the ones that came to mind I’m sure there are many more. Wonder if this list was made just to include Titanic during the submersible controversy.

I’m supprised the kms Bismarck wasn’t on there

The Samuel B Roberts was NOT a Battleship! It was a Destroyer Escort, one of the smallest combatant ships that went against the Japanese super battleship Yamato and other battleships and cruisers along with ships like the USS Johnston.

7000km ... imagine that 😵

i miss titanic😢

Thought this was BMO narrating for a sec. Great vid tho

No mention of the Bismark?

They actually also purposely sink ships once they retire. They strip them down, clean them really well, and then sink them so they can become coral for fish and other species in the ocean.

Also the date of sinking of SS Rio Grande was most certainly not in 1996...try 1944 maybe

Philippines has a lot of shipwrecks? 😳 And the deepest is there too. Wow.

The USS Johnson is one of the deepest shipwrecks ever discovered over 20,000 feet beneath the surface

Shame you didn't mention that the two deepest wrecks here were discovered by the same person - Victor Vescovo. Guy is amazing at this - he's a crazy guy, having summited the highest peaks on seven continents and the deepest parts of the ocean. There's an amazing video around documenting how he developed his submersible.

I loved the Titanic😢😢😮😮😓😥😥😓😭😭😱😱😰😰😨😨

you missed out the Bismark, probably the most famous WW2 battleship (16000ft) - sh1t video

WHERES BISMARCK,BISMARCK HAS TO BE IN THIS TOP

Why is the date of the sinking of the SS Rio Grande blurred out at the 3:55 mark in the video? It is not like it is some "secret" about the day it was sunk, just like the day the USS Indianapolis was sank.

Don't forget Midway's carriers (Yorktown, Akagi, Kaga) They are even deeper than Titanic

Fitting the Sammy and Johnston are together that deep. Must read Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors.

Forgot Bismarck Yorktown and other carriers from midway battle.

now the samuel would be a great movie to make starring seth rollins

Sammy B definitely isnt a battleship 😂😂

You forgot ss bismarck 4,791m

I love how all these videos, they always have to use clips of the movie titanic for any footage of the ship

Oh so I guess you never heard of the Bismarck cos I certainly know that ship should be on the list so I think you should go back and do your list again and I think think also the Yamato as well oh and I forgot the MV Derbyshire so go back and do the list again

There's a shipwreck *deeper* than the USS Johnston? Well I'll be damned...

The Sanuel Roberts was a destroyer, not a battleship.

5:33 ITS NOT A BATTLESHIP

How could you miss the Bizmark.

Bad video! All kinds of incorrect info!

The Roberts was a destroyer, not a battleship.

The titanic is the most popular shipwreck talked about I think

You forgot Bismarck

Your number 1 wreck should be read as “Samuel B Roberts”. A destroyer escort that fought like a battleship

Hey, this list is missing the Bismark. It's in 15,XXX feet of water and went down in April of 1941

where is the Bismarck

Where's Bismarck???

I've never heard of the SS RIO GRANDE. The only other time I've ever heard that name anywhere else. I'm curious.

we have only explored about 5% of the oceans. we most definitely know more about space

I wonder how many rich people were on those ships that sank. I'm sure they traveled with their wealth. 🤨🤔🕵️

hi, you have forgotten the uss yorktown cv5, sunk in the battle of midway,, but i like your voice,

Why did you blur out the date lost for the Rio Grande?

Man im Just chilling with da britannic in the kea channel.

Grabe,The Philippine trench is the graveyard of many battle ships & passenger vessels 😳

I'm sick of people calling every ship that has guns a battleship. The ones here are destroyers and destroyer escorts. Battleships are huge ships with massive guns.

USS Yorktown 16,650 ft deep

I guess they don’t have anybody to correct them when they make mistakes

1940s was a bad decade for ships it sounds like
