The Ship That Was Crushed in Siberian Ice

In 1933 a Russian cargo ship was making a groundbreaking trip across northern russia, through the arctic, in hopes of establishing a permanent trade route known as the northeast passage. Like so many ships before, it got stuck in the increasingly thick winter ice and was trapped for months at the mercy of the ocean currents below. Then, one day in February, there was a deep groaning from the ship’s hull. Immediately afterward, the captain yelled for everyone to abandon the ship. This is the story of the maiden voyage of the Chelyuskin

arguably, there were more casualties... not those of the ships crew, but those of civilians who would have survived had the pilots involved in the rescue been at their day jobs... you see, most of these aircrafts worked ferrying doctors to remote villages in "Siberia", and the time spent rescuing was a time in which there were people lacking medical help. of these, a number died.

Try to imagine the feeling you have hearing the sound of an approaching airplane engine sitting on a melting icesheet for 8 months without a ship. In the first place it is incredible they were able to locate the expedition so precisely after so many months on shifting ice in the middle of an ocean, without GPS.

@KuK137 2 ай бұрын

Why incredible? Marking your position on a dry land (and ice is far more like dry land than moving ship) is easy with navigational instruments, and the ship surely had multiple officers who had to pass rigorous exams in their use and knew how to find out location well...

@@KuK137 The radio helps a lot as well. Using a second receiver, you can locate a radio transmitter very precisely just by using a map and the two directions to the transmitter. After that you can guide the plane to that location from the ground using the plane's radio and the same two ground stations just as easily. The advantage that GPS gives you is that you just need a receiver to know where you are, so you don't give away your presence or position, which is a huge deal in warfare and very economical for civilian use.

While it makes total sense it's still wild seeing on the map what looks like blue ocean but there was an entire camp there, cos it was mostly just vast expanses of frozen ice. The maps showing the different locations just made those thoughts even more jarring, it's insane to think how much of the northern waters and the Arctic Sea in general are just covered by such thick layers of ice that it's safe to set up camp on it. Wild. Great video as always!

@Visiopod 2 ай бұрын

@@KuK137 Not so fast, rising CO2 levels won't just mean thin ice and happy sailing days. Yeah, the ice will be thinner, but the weather will also be way more unpredictable, violent and dangerous. I can take my own nation of Denmark as an example of this, despite Denmark lying quite a bit further south than these seas. Denmark is almost entirely surrounded by water, with the only exception being the southern end of Jutland, which is connected to mainland Europe. Jutland is, however, the only peninsula of Denmark. Everything else is islands upon islands and all of Denmarks weather, including Jutland, is entirely governed by the ocean currents and the location of the jet stream. Last year we had the wettest year ever recorded, since recording the weather began in 1874, including a storm surge that flooded large parts of Denmark, left entire vacation home areas under so much water that it reached the roofs of the buildings and even flooded cities and turned them into temporary versions of a Scandinavian Venice. This year we got the wettest april ever, after getting a whole months rain in just 4 days and next week we can expect cold days and nights with frost and ice, despite entering the latter half of April, which normally means warmer weather. We've also had quite a few spring storms, which neither normally occurs and as I'm writing this it's raining once again and it's quite likely that we'll smash last years record as the wettest year ever recorded. And Denmark still lies hundreds of kilometers below the Barents Sea. It will be much, much worse up there and it doesn't matter that the ice gets thinner, when it won't get so thin that ships can't be crushed in unexpected storms. The more the arctic ice melts, the more unpredictable, violent and dangerous the weather becomes.

You need to research and do a video of the USS Jeannette wreck. Such a fascinating story that even includes the last islands that had a wolly mammoth population. Seriously look it up. Do it. Your viewers will love it

Never realized that there is a Barents Sea close to the Arctic just like a Bering Sea. Of course there's no chance of any miscommunication having ever happened because of that...

Wait, why were there so many people on the ship? Especially a pregnant woman?!

Soviet ideas of equality I suppose. Not so different from USA today…

Nothing went wrong on the expedition related to the women or the children, so they were correct that it was fine. Probably also good for morale to have full families aboard.

Now that's what I call a successful coordinated rescue. Probably the last time America and Russia would ever work in coordination... sigh

I'm not real thrilled with events going on in and around Russia these days, but I do have admit I find their language and some of their history fascinating.
