Playlists and listen live on the Free iHeart app Hey everybody,
it's Jonesy and the madders floor on the cutting room
floor have asked me, maybe, what do you think about
great shipwreck mysteries? What's your favorite shipwreck?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I only know well, I know of the Titanic, Yeah, yeah,
and I've been to a few exhibits surrounding the Itanic.
The Itanic, yep, I know Gilligan's Island ss minnow. I
also know the Gordon Lightfoot song the record.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Does anyone know where the Love of God goes? When
the waves turn?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
The minutes? Two hours?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Great great song that the Mary Celeste.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
What happened there?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Mystery ship found floating off the coast of Maine, I believe,
and all the occupants of the ship were gone on
the in the galley there was some food untouched that
had been put out to prepare, and there was a
pipe smoking in the ash tray, but nothing else. The family,
the crew completely gone.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So no one ever knew, No one ever knew. That's
not the Bermuda Triangle, No.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
No, not a Bermuda Triangle. Pak A lot of people
think it was carrying some various things in a hold,
and I believe some gunpowder and some ammonia, and they
believe that maybe those two things gathered admitted a gas
throughout the ship.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Wouldn't there body still be there?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well, everyone got off the ship and they got got
in a lifeboat and put a rope behind the ship
and we're getting towed along by the ship while the
gas or cleared out, and somehow the rope became untied
from the ship, so the people ended up just floating
around in the lifeboat.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Is that the theory?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
They never found a lifeboat or skeletons or anything.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Nothing, no human remains or anything like that. And then
there's other people thought it was aliens that just came
and that's.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
The obvious second option.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Researchers have discovered a vessel that dunk over one hundred
and forty years ago, closing the book on one of
the UK's most enduring maritime mysteries.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So this is recently they found one.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yes, the historic steamer the ss Nanties had sunk.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
You've done a few historic steamers. You know, you knew
I was going to say, you knew. I want I
put that in there and keep going.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
It's sunk in eighteen eighty eight.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Wow, it's a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Twenty three odd souls on board, only three survivors. The
freighter then lay undiscovered for nearly a century and a
half until twenty twenty four. A diver and an explorer
dive down any fansom dinnerware at the wreck site.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Wow, some corner where do you think there.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Were some plates? You know belonged to Kenny Nandy's built
in eighteen seventy four. She was a good ship and
crew and it was only fourteen year old vessel used
to carry coal and stuff things like that.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
What happened to it? Why did it sink?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well? The crew, the surviving crew reported they tried to
save the ship. It was struck by a German sailing vessel,
the Theodore Ruga, which tore a big hole in its side.
That'll do it, And for several hours the crew tried
to save the ship, using all manner of materials to
try and fill the hole. They get mattresses, but they
(03:23):
lost the fight.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
With the ship. And so how did those three survive
on a lifeboat?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
They probably could swim a lot of sailors in those
days didn't swim. It was you considered to be a
witch for considering these to burn people at the stake,
will throw them in the water. The test if they
were a witch is they would float.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
And if you drowned, to think old farm everyone she
was fine.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Man, she wasn't a witch after all. But then they
get you out of the water if you floated, and
then they'd burn you at the stake.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Choose your own adventure.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, which one would you rather?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I just love these tales of the old seam? And
so what have they done?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So they researched, they knew it in last year, they
found it, yep, And now they're going to bring it up.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
They won't bring it up, still bringing it up.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Because it's a because it's a grave.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, it will be a sea grave, yeah, of course.
And also it's a pain in the neck to bring
up a ship, like you've lost a pair of sunglasses
in the water, and that's hard enough to get back.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Remember when I went to Pearl Harbor, and not initially,
I wasn't involved in the situation. I went as a
tourist just some years ago. And it's very moving, it's
a very it's an incredibly moving memorial, isn't it. And
we were hearing the story about what had happened, and
there's oil that still comes to the surface from the wreckage.
(04:39):
It's oil that comes to the surface. And Jack would
heard the story. And Jack was looking over and he said,
what a tragedy.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
He was only young.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I thought this is really hit him hard, and I
said it isn't He said, yeah, there's someone's sunglasses down there.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Where he lives.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
That's a tragic occurrence.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So you think someone wild write a song about this? Well,
it says Nanty's anything wrong?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Right, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I'm sure it's got the historic steamer in there is. Well,
shouldn't you come up with something like that?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I think?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
When you steamer is this nanties?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Does anyone know where the love of God goes when
the big steamer doesn't sink?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh, let's be respectful, please, you're the one.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That brought it up. Okay, kids, that's it for today.
