I wonder if zebra muscles sped up the deterioration of the hull. Major problem in the Great lakes
Nice to meet with you.
Wow, 160k… Ryan, good on you for keeping with the times and promoting this historic ship. Im planning a trip to come see the NJ, hopefully ill get to meet you in person
If New Jersey develops a 35° list overnight, things have gone beyond horrifically bad
Where in Canada is this potential dry dock?
The audio is of low quality. Next time check your audio bitrate settings, it sounds like he is talking through a telephone line call
It would be cool if the museum ships could be used as mobile museums. Visit ports all over assuming they are seaworthy and can be towed or operated in an economic manner. It would be similar to how old bombers and fighters go to various air shows.
If they have a diesel emergency generator they need to check the oil sump from the look of the oil that was on surfaces that maybe where it came from. If so the need to get someone in the take care of it before too much rust develops and lock that thing up.
As a Rhode Islander, I very much appreciate the correct usage of “bubbler” to describe a drinking foundation ?
From what you discussed, dredging around the ships at the pier side seems to be something that should be added to the to do list.
Hey Ryan, this brings up a good topic. During the war, what all went into dealing with flooding and its aftermath in battle? Obviously with electrical equipment and other systems in these spaces it’s not as simple as pumping out water and going right back to it. I seem to remember stories from Pearl harbour where paper decomposing in flooded areas of the ship created hydrogen sulphide gas.
I think that would be a very interesting topic for a video
Got out to see her and met Mike (I think) the “boat guy” and got an awesome tour. Truly a great group of folks who run this museum, thank you all!
When I was a small child, we would visit family in New Jersey and my father's Aunt had a model of a warship in a glass case. She never talked about it but my family told me that she lost her son on this ship in the war. That model was the USS Juneau. It wasn't until I was older that I read about the history of the USS Juneau and the Sullivans.
This was a fascinating interview, thank you so much for sharing.
Pretty sure we'll all be here when you're ready and able to get back to us, take all the time you need, take care
Could you imagine Ryan coming to work and seeing the same thing?
“Oh my God the Jersey is sinking”.
We’re gonna need a bigger pump!
"What do you think happened to the ship?" The 20:00 Watch video of 13 April 2022 at minute :57 tells what happened. It sank because despite stating very clearly that the ship was listing and flooding through an "overboard dump" that was "submerged and taking on water" the individual who witnessed that and admitted it on a live video took no action to control the situation. His sole response was to state that they would deal with it in the morning. That is what happened. Apparently no one in the organization was concerned enough or knew enough to even bother to inspect the ship to see the extent of the flooding or make any attempt to control it. The reason why so much was destroyed by fuel oil was because fuel tank access plates were either not secured or were actually open. The ship sank after the one person who actually saw what was happening was apparently not concerned enough to stop making a stupid ego video long enough to call for assistance.
A little off topic but I'm concerned to hear that Midway is removing her screws and rudders. I was told by a docent on Intrepid that after she had her own screws removed that the local fire Marshall decided she was no longer a ship and was now subject to a lot of new safety regulations, and that's the primary reason why Intrepid is presented the way she is, with casement windows, full width staircases and entire interior structures inside her. She's by far my least favorite Essex museum (I've toured all four).
lets face it. war history is honky white mens oppressing others its disgusting.
Has any thought been given to dredging the berth while the Sullivans is in dry dock to prevent the bottom strike from occurring again?
Why use the poo poo microphone for him… his voice comes over just fine on Ryans Mic
If the Canadian dry dock is the one that did Haida, they're good at it.
I live in Buffalo NY, I’ve been on these ships several times in my life, and I’ve never learned as much about these ships as I have from your series of videos at the Buffalo Naval Park, thank you and your channel for producing and posting them!
I was stationed on the USS Proteus (AS-19) and when we decommissioned her in 1992 several areas of her hull were the thickness of a dime! Seawater and electrolysis take a toll on steel and our divers were kept busy with patching. Good luck!
I wonder if curators play games i.e. who has the longest, oldest, most tonnage etc. 🙂
I'm glad to see the optimism about saving this ship. She is a powerful symbol of the sacrifices made in WW2. To lose a son, brother or father was bad enough, but to lose five sons in one event is something I just can't comprehend. It would be nice if one of the billionaires in the States could help out – they could fund the entire project out of petty cash. Then again, they'd probably want the ship re-named after them.
BB35, Texas had several concrete patches. I am hoping for dry dock tours when your ships get docked like the Texas is doing now (2023).
I posted the following on the Buffalo Naval and Servicemen's parks video & felt that sharing it here was appropriate
Ryan, as a US Navy veteran & a Western New York native, thank you for getting the word out. I am 5th generation Navy, my Granddad was a Seabee in The Pacific. I first set foot on The Sullivan's that first summer at the ripe old age of 12. There's a grainy picture around here of me manning an Orelikon back then. I had known the story of the Brothers even then. Please continue your excellent work.
I was really expecting this to be a depressing video, but it turned out quite energetic and hopeful. Yeah, museum ships get old and deteriorate, but we can still fight to keep them alive, to reverse damage, to preserve and catalog the history.
Yes, the increaing entropy and the heat death of the universe will come for us all, but that doesnt mean we cant put up a fight, and create meaning now, while we are still here.
Sounds like what they did to some of the US Battleships at pearl harbour
What is the feasibility of building a permanent dry dock? In the long run wouldn't that be a more cost effective and permanent way to preserve these priceless artifacts for future generations?
It would be nice if the government pulled money out of nato funding to repair these museum ships.
There's a Sullivan's museum in Waterloo Iowa, if you want to visit.
Schumer didn't give you s***That's my tax dollars.
Thanks
Love it when museum crews come together to share history and know-how
New Jersey is lucky to have Ryan. The Buffalo guy comes across as a dick. Not hating, just saying he really shouldn't be doing any videos for them.
This channel is amazing. Ryan is a fantastic narrator/host. Classy, professional, and polished. Keep up the great work.
