Wow! Memories! I was on that ship in the early 80ies when it was the "Nils Holgersson" starting at Travemünde. Until Min 25 i thought i know the Design of the carpets and chairs in the theater. But then the map with the routes... Baaaaang! I was sure i have yet been there. Amazing. I am ten again ;-) Thanks a lot.

Lucky the security guy was friendly enough, mind you, he was probably just as spooked as you were!

This ship used to be the car passenger ferry to go from Melbourne to Devonport Australia. She used to be named tt line Abel Tasman. (1985-1994) Sad to see what has become of the ship

Imagine the lone guard walking in to a room with small camera crew just casually filming the ship. Glad though that the company owning the ships atleast has somebody looking after them so that they don't get looted and vandalized

Not to be a wet blanket but you were in dangers which you had no clew of. One of the biggest killers on ships is entry to enclosed spaces. You have to understand that ships are very different then other structures. They are made of metal and metal rusts. The places you entered might have been closed for ages and not ventilated at all. For this reason the oxygen inside might have got depleted, meaning that you could have got asphyxiated with no one to help you. People end up dying as they don’t see the threat. I am pretty sure you encountered a lot of strange odors, next time you do such an adventure you take and oxygen analyser (although that will not give you other toxic gases). You were lucky you got caught on the passenger ferry and didn’t make it to the bulkier and the LNG, those would have had a hell load of hidden dangers, Cardona residues will remain until they are fiscally removed. Good luck for next adventures but I suggest that you ask for advice to minimize your risks.

MEMORIES.... i ve travelled many times with this ship i even reckognised the decoration , while it was called theofilos in 2006 while i was in the greek army in chios , and on vacation it would transport me to pireaus near athens , it was already old by 2006, it would leave at 10 in the afternoon and arrive at 06.30 in the net morning , the other more modern ship i sometimes took instead of theofilos would leave the same chios port at 12.00 midnight and arrive at 06.00 , surpasing theofilos during the journey!! i didnt expect it to be in service till 2018!!!

Way better than anything on TV! The best exploring channel by far. Keep up to good work 💪👍

I think I was guest 1982 on this ship as the name was Nils Holgersson and drived between Travemünde and Trelleborg.

The Theofilos was on the Tasmania-Melbourne route in the 1980’s. her name back then was Abel Tasman. Sad to see her like this.

“I hope we don’t get in trouble” whilst boarding a ship without permission 😂 great video

Wow, that was really dangerous. You really put a lot of effort into these explores. Imagine you had fallen out of the kanu in the middle of the bay without a life west.

That ship is from 1975, named M/S Nils Holgersson. TT Lines (Germany) was the first owner 1975-1985. Sailed between Travemünde (GER) - Trelleborg (SWE)

The last Name of the ship was Theofilos, when it was last in service for NEL lines. In 22:42 you can see a painting of Nils Holgersson, a boy flying on a goose in the upper left corner of the painting, which is related to the ships first name "Nils Holgersson" when the ship was used by german TT-Lines for transfer from Germany to Sweden (Travemünde to Trelleborg, therefore TT-Line). It was build in 1975. Further reference to its former owner can be seen in 23:00 and 24:04 (callsign SWJC)

This was very dangerous, thrilling and entertaining. You guys are brave men!

It's really interesting that it still has the maps for the ship's route in and around Sweden and northern Europe back when the ship was named Nils-Holgersson, since it hasn't been trafficking those waters since 1985. She went to Australia in 1985 for quite some time before coming to Greece in 1994, and is now named MS Theofilos. Interesting stuff guys, but I think security should've been expected to be honest.

Please subscribe to our channel if you like our videos so we can make even better videos in the future :)

You guys have the most unique urbex videos. No idea how you're not on the top of the genre.

If this guards do not want anybody to climb on board, why not just lock the only door you can use to enter the ship ?

Ayyyyyy 1UP big up! Can’t wait to watch this vid in full

You guys are crazy paddling that toy boat out there like that.

Always use a PFD if you do this , unless you are a really good swimmer ! I travelled on this ship once , 30 years ago , when she was the MV Abel Tasman in Australia . At 45 years of age I don't think she will sail again . Great tour !

Thanks for sharing this great footage of that ship! I've personally boarded that ship back in 1989 as a little boy when it was the Abel Tasman travelling from Devonport Tasmania to Melbourne Victoria in Australia. Great you guys managed to board that vessel and get some good footage before the security guy kicked you's off. Very sad that the ship is now scrapped.

I think actually traveled with that ship back in the 90's from Sweden to Finland. Cool to see it again. It looks really sorry now though. And of course the ships are guarded. They are very expensive equipment, and contains a lot of dangerous and expensive equipment. Some of the ships could be for sale, and if you contact the agents selling you might be able to visit the ships legally. :)

Holy crap - you guys have huge balls. I would *never* have the guts to get into an inflatable boat on the ocean! It's too bad the exploration was cut short -- what we saw was amazing, but what a waste!!! So much of that furniture and equipment just sitting there rotting instead of being used elsewhere.. Excellent video though -- keep safe !

Who would have thought there was a guard actually living on the ship!

Another amazing journey and video team! Thank you for going though (and risking) so much for us!

Crazy guys, doing anything for an awesome explore 😄 The ship looks straight from a horror movie/game.

Hi Guys, I spent a lot of time on that ship with my family when it was the Abel Tasman travelling across the Bass Strait between Devonport in Tasmania and Melbourne Victoria. One of the rougher straits in the world. We knew the ship so well the oldies used to pay us to take them back to their cabin when they had too much to drink! Had a disco and an arcade downstairs if I remember correctly!

I had traveled many times with Theofilos in 1999-2000 to Chios. One of them I had traveled with a friend who happened to have about 15 grams of weed with him. It was night and winter and there were few passengers, so he suggested me to smoke together a joint on the deck. I agreed and my friend came out to roll it. After a few minutes I went out and found him sitting on one of the benches ready to cry. I asked him what happened and he answered... "Dude... The fishes took my weed..." He opened the bag and the wind do the rest...

This was some next level exploring and dedication!

Great work guys thanks for all the time and effort!

Wow! One of the best episode!

Great adventure! Loved it! The way you guys just went and bought an inflatable raft and paddled out there is crazy :D True adventurers!

A real nail-biter of an episode, guys. Great effort, enjoyable video. It so sucks you got caught, but it looks like they didn't give you a hard time.

Best abando EVER. Top marks boys💯💯💯💯💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥇🥇🥇🥇

That was a really crazy adventure. Thanks guys I enjoyed it.

Weer een heel gaaf avontuur mannen, echt van genoten helaas dat deze schepen bewaking hebben. Kijk nu al uit naar jullie volgende aflevering 🙏🏻

It's crazy when you think of the monumental amount of people, effort and money it cost to put that ship together and now it's just sitting there doing nothing. Such a waste. Peace

Those ships are so big, so many places to explore. I would even live in one, never get bored with all that room. Great video thanks.

This is a brilliant effort with some excellent footage. Thank you for that. Stay safe. 👍 from me. 🇬🇧

It felt like "The Shining" on a boat.

Love your channel!!! Look forward to every post! And appreciate the English as well, makes it so much easier to catch all the details you film.

They have to have guards on the ships because otherwise people would settle there scavenging copper and other valuables. There's a couple of tons of copper on a large ship like that and for 3-4 euro per kilo it adds up.

Love this video, the risks taken & eeriness of the ferry.., creeping around & getting caught!, superb👍

You win some, you lose some. The fact that you boarded, got footage, and didnt get arrested when you got caught makes this a victory. But barely. You got lucky. Any number of things could have easily made this a loss. Stay safe. Im awaiting the next adventure.

You guys are crazy. But an awesome kind of crazy. 😀 Loved that explore. Keep at it guys. Love your videos 👍

This adventure is really on the edge!!! You guys are really risking to do it..

I loved that adventure guys. Thanks for taking us with you. I've just liked and subscribed. 👍👍👍

Well that was quiet the adventure! I think if the navy is not tasked to watch the ships, chances are quiet small they will notice you. Damn, if all those ships were unguarded, the adventure would be over within a day because of water shortage. Too bad there were guards, would have been awesome to visit all those big ships! Great video again 😁👍👋👋

Great episode!.. You guys have balls of steel.. maximum respect to you 👍🇬🇧

Van alle Urbex kanalen vind ik jullie het vetst.

AWESOME🔥🔥🔥

You Guys are awesome, like your stories so much. Thank you

Man, this was an adventure for you guys. With less resources and someone on those boats, you really needed to survive in there. Great job and stay safe next time.

Cool adventure, takes a courage to do this. Well done!!!!

Wow... you guys are awesome.... thank you for another great video! Stay safe guys! Cheers!

Hope all the Exploring with is taking notes on this one. Good job Guys

Great video, guys. We really do enjoy your content. Keep it up. 🔥

Great vid. You guys got some balls.

Wow, impressed that you would attempt this! Subscribed.

Thanks for the video and lovely soundtrack!

What did the guards tell you, and why weren't they looking if you went away?

Like a Thriller!!

I am so happy I found your channel a watch a lot of Erbex but your the only ones that I have seen that do ships so thank you for that.

Thanks for this video. Very entertaining

Tip for the next ship based adventure: in case of necessity look for the lifeboat supplies: contain 30 day survival rations and potable water plus all kind of useful stuff.

Top adventure guys, what thriller!

You guys have a Angels watching over you. Thank you. May God always watching over you guys.

Interessante en spannende aflevering, leuk! Bijzondere locatie

Wow!!!! I was a bit nervous for you while watching! Very nice to see onboard!! Shame you were not able to do more filming. This Vessel has an interesting history, Sailing as Nils Holgersson on the Baltic when new from 1975. In 1985 she came to Australia to sail as Abel Tasman between Tasmania and the mainland, before going to Greece in 1994. She was laid up in 2015. She is meant to be departing for scrapping some time soon. Many thanks!!

You are great people!!!

This was one of the coolest explores ever! To bad you weren't able to kick back in that lounge with a cocktail and watch the sun go down through that window over looking the water! Ending up with just the alcohol? Oh well......time to get lit! LOL! Hope you get to find another cruise ship without guards that you can get on! That dog scared the crap out of me and I wasn't even there!!!! Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next adventure!

Guys please be more careful - one day you're going to get in real shit with the authorities, or you're going injure yourself really badly which would suck for all of us. It's great that you go beyond where most people normally do, but don't unnecessarily put yourself in danger. I really mean it. Cheers from England

You guys are awesome Many thanks to you for sharing your adventures with us. ........

Wow was on the edge of my seat watching this, last time I was like that was your video of abandoned airport in Cyprus /Turkey...love your mad explores 👍

13 minutes later of bloody video, the travel begins!

Dang from the looks of things Francesco Schettino was Captain a lot of ships.

This is the best video yet . ..keep pushing. .

16:07 Half of this is filler. This is where you want to start

Prepare better for and maritime adventures next time!!! You need floating aid, compass, radio in floating bag (cheapo Baofeng will do), smartphone in floating bag, clothing that is impervious to water like roll-up rubber trousers and another paddle as a spare propulsion if the first one fails. Water in smaller bottles in different places. And let somebody know where you are going and arrange a rendez-vous or form of scheduled communication so he alarms the authority if you are lost. Also before making a way, get a chart (or make one on a piece of paper) and write down your expected trip by plotting down the course (make a vector for your target, the stream and you will see which way you must drive to) - you wasted some energy by just heading for your target, you should have had expected the current and drive partially against it so your way over ground would be shorter. Also expect that the wind will affect you. And from my experience, avoid going when the tide current goes the other direction than the wind - result will be rolling waves that easily overturn you. For a night experience, bring a white all-round light on a bar that sticks to the sky. And please stay safe, use common sense.

I use to sail on this first Ship, wich is on its side; Karageorgios Lines, Mediterranean Sea and Sky, they had 2. from Ancona to Patras, lol, back in the late 80ies!

You guys are absolutely crazy

amazing adventure 👏

You guys are the real deal - good work

Amazing trip guys!!

10:10 looks like someone went swimming but never returned What a friendly guard, even wished you Good Luck in the end :')

Fantastic video!!

Now this is exploring!!!

Lmao that intro. Finally gets to ship, Steps foot on ship, dog instantly freaks out! Sounded like a tiny dog tho lol.

Looks like fun and its exciting as your just moving along not knowing what you may find and its all spontanious without specific plans

You have big balls! Respect from Corfu,Greece.

the Capsized "SAOS" one was Arsinoi, she was built at the same shipyard my boss had the (sadly) cancelled "Sea Venture" Cruise Ship purchased from (that being "Kamitsis Machine Yards, Perama")

They're watching you, lol. I enjoy you two dudes exploring all these forgotten and in some cases not well known places.

That's well done guys!good job

Really impresive !!!! good job guys ....!!!!
