We Sank A Giant Barge! Onboard Cameras Capture The Seafloor Impact.
How we intentionally sunk a barge in the ocean that was nearly 200 feet long! This video shows a point of view perspective from the crew aboard the vessel during its last moments afloat at sea.
00:00 We are going to sink this barge
00:20 Climbing onto the barge
01:08 Deploying the massive barge anchor
01:30 Preparations for vessel sinking
02:23 Pumping water into the barge
03:06 Onboard sink camera locations
04:00 The ship is sinking
04:30 Ocean water rushing into the wheelhouse
06:10 Seafloor impact and sunken vessel underwater camera views
07:30 Why did we sink the barge
07:45 Another sunken ship becomes a reef
08:04 Project planning and artificial reef preparations
08:20 Walking the crane off the barge
08:44 The sunk vessel will create an underwater ecosystem
The process went something like this...
Once onboard, the sinking team opened holes along the sides of the barge to allow sea water to enter. Several high flow pumps were used to pump in enough water to lower the barge to the point where water entered the holes. Then pumps were removed, and at this point, the barge was sinking.
Check out the children's book "Spike The Tugboat." It is based on a real-life ship that was sunk to create an artificial reef. Written by video host Joe Kistel.

Just prior to departing the sinking ship, project coordinator and video host Joe Kistel turned on several onboard cameras to document the sinking. This video shows the intense and spectacular views these cameras recorded as the vessel succumbed to the ocean and sank to the seafloor. These cameras continued to record for quite some time while the barge was sitting on the ocean bottom. They captured some interesting activity including rust stained water pumping out of the access holes on the deck.
Offshore fishermen and scuba divers will appreciate the book "North Florida Reefs," a visual guide to the offshore fishing and diving locations of North Florida. Written by video host Joe Kistel. shop.lightningsource.com/b/085?hhfIxU6lnB77LL97WNllIsTT0oSU9hhmsfO8WCX7QQf
The sinking vessel project was a very involved effort with the motive to create marine habitat. The barge was properly prepared to an appropriate condition to use to create an artificial reef. It was sunk at a predetermined and surveyed location that is permitted for artificial reef material placements.
Within months the vessel will start to colonize with organisms such as corals and sponges. Multiple fish species will use the wreck for shelter and resources. Over time, the underwater world this sunken barge will give life to, will mimic the biological activity of nearby natural reef systems.
This project was made possible by the following:
Mobro Marine
Coastal Conservation Association Florida
The Cameron Smith Foundation
Kistel Media

Barge Sinking In The Ocean, Water Rushing In The Wheelhouse
Переглядів 960Місяць тому
A camera facing the helm of a sinking barge captures final moments afloat while water is rushing in. It is eerie to imagine being a captain onboard in a sinking situation while water is overtaking the wheelhouse. This was one of several cameras recording while the massive vessel was sinking in the ocean offshore the east coast of north Florida. The cameras recorded as the boat sank to the seafl...
Sinking Barge Onboard Camera Captures Seafloor Impact

Onboard camera footage shows the final moments a 175-foot barge is afloat and keeps recording until after the vessel impacts the ocean floor below. This was an intentional vessel sinking to create marine habitat and was supported by CCA Florida, Mobro Marine, and Pro-Golfer Cameron Smith through his foundation. In a short period of time this wreck will be teaming with marine life thanks to the ...
How To Find A Lost Prop In The Ocean
Переглядів 8385 місяців тому
We were able to locate and recover a ship prop that was lost on the seafloor somewhere in the ocean. In this video we show how we accomplished this seemingly impossible task. The ocean is huge, and by comparison a tugboat propeller is a very small item. To attempt to find it was a monumental task in itself, but we did not just want to find it, we wanted to recover it as well. We started by inve...
What We Find While Scuba Diving In The Ocean

While scuba diving in the ocean far from the nearest shore, in 100 feet of water, we find items on the sea floor that should not be there. In addition to spectacular marine life including fish and coral, we find evidence of human activity. Unfortunately, this evidence is often human trash and it can be a danger to ocean life. In this video we show some of the typical items we find and remove on...

    Funny how people watch a video and become experts on a subject in an instant. And just because something is filmed or photographed it still only shows what you can see and that is a small fraction of the whole picture. Thanks for taking the time to educate people even if that brought a little backlash from the public. I'm sure you all love the ocean very much and want to preserve it for our future generations!

    • @UWPICVID
      @UWPICVID 2 дні тому

      Yes it was rust. The water inside the barge was warmer then the water on the seafloor because the barge filled with warm sea surface water before sinking. This is part of the reason the rust filled water seems to flow upward since warm water is less dense then cold water.
