This ship was abandoned for a very scary reason welcome back Charlie here the ocean
is a terrifying place for many reasons especially because it's a graveyard for many abandoned ships
but why were these gigantic and expensive ships abandoned and what happened to their crew first
we have to look at high aim six in 2003 this ship named high aim 6 was spotted off the coast of
Australia the bizarre thing is the ship had no crew the ship had come from Taiwan authorities
boarded the ship and what they found on it led to a massive mystery on board was rotting fish the
belongings of its crew Fuel and other Provisions a forensic investigation was quickly carried out
and they found no signs of struggle from any of the crew they also found the cell phone of
the ship's missing engineer and that phone kept receiving mysterious calls from Indonesia later
on a crew member was tracked down they claimed the ship's captain and engine near had both been
murdered and the crew just packed up and went back home but what exactly happened to the crew of high
aim 6 remains unclear next we have to look at the Cincinnati Ghost Ship if you go down the Ohio
River for about 25 miles you'll find this it's known as the Cincinnati Ghost Ship this abandoned
ship is very old and overgrown it's Eerie to walk around and explore it but many people do anyway
but why was it abandoned and how did it end up here well it began Life as a luxury yacht Back In
1902 it was named the circle line but when World War One occurred the ship was taken over by the
U.S armed forces after World War One it became a fishing boat after that it became a scientific
vessel used for research and finally became a tourist boat on the Ohio River but eventually
this boat got too old and was abandoned by the owner that's why today it's Shipwrecked on the
Ohio River now I have to show you the SS American Star this is by far one of the most mysterious
abandoned ships of all time this ship was launched in 1914 and at the time was one of the world's
most luxurious ships but in 1994 it ran aground and was abandoned off the Canary Islands the ship
was going to be sold for scrap metal but at the last moment the buyer's Bank declined the
transaction so instead the SS American Star was turned into a floating hotel but before
it could be opened as a hotel a storm broke the SS American Star the ship was destroyed on a reef off
the coast of Fuerte Ventura where it remains to this day many say it's scary how unlucky
this ship is leading some to say this ship may be cursed moving along let's look at Shipwreck Beach
this isn't just one shipwreck but a beach full of them on the Hawaiian island of Lanai you can find
what's known as Shipwreck Beach this Six Mile Long Beach is home to 12 different abandoned ships the
first ship ever abandoned there is why ogn42 this is an abandoned U.S Navy ship but why are there so
many abandoned ships on this beach well the area is Infamous for strong winds and Powerful currents
meaning it's very common to Get Shipwrecked along this beach some of these ships have rotted away
quite a lot but Shipwreck Beach is also home to ships made from concrete as opposed to Timber
and those concrete ships are still in pretty good condition to this day because some crew
members perished during the shipwrecks many say that they're haunted locals also advise people
not to sail near the beach at night next let's look at the dimitrios Shipwreck this shipwreck
can be found on the beaches of githio Greece it's a massive 220 foot cargo ship the origin of why it
was built and who for is unknown what we do know is it was built in the 1950s and it's believed to
have smuggled cigarettes between turkey and Italy but when it was caught by authorities it was set
on fire to hide the evidence in 1980 the ship was finally docked this was because the captain had
severe health issues because of financial concerns with the crew the ship never went back out to sea
which is why it's washed up on this Greek Beach to this day now we have to look at the kip to
Peak concrete ships you may think concrete is a weird material to make ships out of but during
World War II the U.S Navy made many ships out of concrete they did this because during World War
II there was a shortage of Steel these were used during the D-Day Landings in Normandy France and
were incredibly successful and important for the war but after the war these were scattered off
the coast of kiptop peak Virginia some say these abandoned ships are a bit of an eyesore and others
say they look just plain spooky moving along I have to show you the world Discoverer this ship
was built back in 1974 in Germany but today is abandoned off the coast of the Solomon Islands but
how did it end up there well in the year 2000 it struck a reef causing the ship to fall on its side
the 287-foot ship has been abandoned there ever since locals have been begging the government to
get rid of this for years but the government says it will be too expensive and difficult to remove
over the years many people have looted this [ __ ] that's because most of its contents was left on
board when it was abandoned now let's look at La Familia Express this ship sits abandoned in the
Caribbean Sea but surprisingly it started Life as a Soviet ship it was made in the USSR back in
1953. its first name was Fort chefchenko it was involved in the Cold War namely during the Cuban
Missile Crisis hence whites in the Caribbean Sea when the Soviet Union collapsed this ship was sold
and given the name La Familia Express but during Hurricane Francis in 2004 this ship broke loose
from her Moorings and became stuck on some Reef in the Caribbean Sea the ship was never recovered
and it remains there to this day next we have to look at and the boss 400 this shipwreck looks very
bizarre that's because it used to be a crane barge it was being towed by another ship off the coast
of South Africa but that's when a storm broke the tow rope causing this barge to smash into the
coast of South Africa the owners realized it would be too costly to retrieve this barge so instead of
removing it they decided to Simply leave it there to rot this really is littering on a massive scale
finally let's look at the Francisco Morrison this haunting ship was called the Francisco
Morrison it can be found in Lake Michigan during one November night in 1960 this boat was sailing
across the water but there was a terrible storm and zero visibility causing the ship to
run aground and that's where it remains to this very day the captain's pregnant wife had to be
taken off the ship and airlifted to safety other smaller boats then rescued the captain and crew
the storm continued for many days causing parts of the ship to break off and fall into the lake
but by the time the storm ended They concluded this ship was beyond repair which is exactly why
it's abandoned to this day all of the cargo was left on the ship and sank into the lake and all
of the metal of the ship rusted surprisingly the owners of this ship never came forward and that's
why it was never removed chances are the owners never came forward on purpose that way they would
never have to pay for the removal that's one of the main reasons why so many ships are simply
abandoned when a ship gets grounded or sinks it's very hard to remove for example it would cost 35
million dollars to remove the Titanic which is one of the reasons why only tiny parts of that
ship have ever been removed from the ocean it may be worth it for the most famous ship of all time
but the truth is no one really cares when one of these cargo ships sinks to the Bottom of the
Sea now it's time to make your voice heard comment below which was the most mysterious Abandoned Ship
