@capspreadمنذ 3 سنوات I was the Radio Officer on a sister ship to the Derbyshire - Sir Alexander Glen - 11 months after it sank and we had loaded Iron Ore in Canada heading id="hidden1" class="buttons"> to Kashima in Japan. We were also heading into a Typhoon. But we diverted to avoid going through the eye of the storm. A fault in the ship's structure between the accommodation and Cargo holds with cracks starting to appear. It happened on all the sister ships. I was convinced for years that was the cause of Derbyshire sinking. I took some film during the storm whilst on board. ....وسعت 2174

@NPC_-mf4dwمنذ 3 سنوات The loss of the Derbyshire is so eerie.
I always tried to imagine how it must have been for the people inside the ships. The incident happening id="hidden3" class="buttons"> at night, most were asleep in their quarters, including 2 wifes of crewmen.
There's a good chance the whole vessel was underwater before the accommodation area was even flooded, meaning they went down like a submarine. with no pressure hull.
In complete darkness, surrounded by hellish noises of creaking, bending and breaking metal, and ear-deafening water rushing in everywhere. Horrible.
May they rest in peace. ....وسعت 2030

@iaincatto6241منذ 3 سنوات I'm a merchant navy officer. The story of the Derbyshire is taught as a matter of course during training, as well as the poor build quality of OBOs and bulk carriers from the 70s and 80s. 480

@richardmillican7733منذ 3 سنوات I worked as a Ships Agent and Operations Superintendent, we had 2 ships crossing the Bay of Biscay in Feb 1989. MV Orestia carrying 32000 Tonnes of Alumina id="hidden7" class="buttons"> and MV Anna Leonhardt carrying 3500 tonnes of Petcoke. Bound for Holyhead, North Wales.
Both ships were within visual sight of each other. They were in a hurricane force gale. The Orestia witnessed the "Sudden Disappearence" of the Anna Leonhardt at the same time as having her (Orestia) Number 1 hatch cover punched in flooding the hold with seawater and contamination of the Alumina in the Number 1 hold.
The Anna Leonhardt "punched" into a large swell and sank immediately, the crew, mainly German had no chance whatsoever.
The Orestia "limped" to Holyhead, Down at the head (bow).
It was the only "total loss" I've ever been involved with, I'd just turned 21 and it was my job to file the report to Lloyds of London. ....وسعت 96

@stephenpotts832منذ 3 سنوات I was in the same storm on a bulk carrier sailing from Los Angeles to Taiwan. I remember seeing how our ship’s decks flexed, bending and twisting. As a young cadet I think that was the first time that I realised life is finite. We heard about the Derbyshire going missing before we reached Taiwan. One thing that may not be well known is that wife’s of crew members onboard and personnel ready to change out were waiting in Japan. I went back to college in South Shields and met one on the guys who was waiting in Japan. He said it was terrible as it became clear that the Derbyshire hand gone down and they all flew back to the U.K. Very sad. Serving most of my time on large bulk carriers and container ships, despite witnessing the storm, it was hard to understand how no one made it to the boats. Good and very sobering explanation. ....وسعت 65

@callunasمنذ 3 سنوات I saw a documentary on the Derbyshire and it's always stuck with me. The way the bow began to sit lower and lower in the water, unnoticed, over days id="hidden10" class="buttons"> perhaps, until it reached the point that enough green water came over the bow and broke the first hatch and set off the chain reaction that sent the strip plunging down within minutes. truly haunting.

@

@rs2352منذ 3 سنوات A great presentation that provides non-professionals a good understanding of this loss.
As a professional, also think you did a great job of covering id="hidden28" class="buttons"> the accident and many of the learnings incorporated.
The technical aspects of changes to the various rules and regulations with regard to design / maintenance of hatch covers, that have had a profound impact on the maritime industry, are worthy of note but far too esoteric for all but a few.
FYI, a verbal 'typo' in the beginning. It sounds like you mention her Gross Registered Tonnage (GRT) in the beginning, something like 91,000 tons. Later, you provide the more useful Deadweight of ~ 151,000 tons.
DWT is the most illustrative, especially for those who compare to semi trucks (at 40 tons each).
Again, for the casual viewing, GRT is somewhat akin to a 'tax dodge scheme'. If you ever have trouble sleeping, do a search for 'tonnage admeasurement'. ....وسعت 1

@tfsuppمنذ 3 سنوات As a deep sea marine engineer i would like to say that, ships have had bilge/hold water level alarms well before WW2 not since this tradegy, also we oftern id="hidden34" class="buttons"> continue though the worst storms if we cant slightly divert away from the worst of a hurricane or cyclone (been right though many on bulkers). You never stop or you loose your ability to steer and become a lump of junk being thrown around with the possability of breaching etc, the only time you would stop if the engine fails or you were forced to, I suppect they just slowed down as getting to close to land is more dangerous in a cyclone and normally you would go in a very large circle if necessary rater than stop. The most logical cause if the ship was loaded as you say with the uneven loading is the final stress failure of the hull due to the hogging and sagging effect that occures on long vessels in rough weather and would certainly have been made worse by the taking of water in the chain locker and forward peek. But a major concern would be the age of the vessel and its corrosion maintenance management of the ballast tank ribs etc which caused many a loss of ship in these circumstances causing less resilience to stress. See @capspread comment below as well. ....وسعت 18

@slavenpilepic4620منذ 3 سنوات Have been working on bulk carrier some time ago and was responsible for the ingress system maintenance. Every time that any hold was empty and washed by id="hidden37" class="buttons"> the crew, I have recalibrated the system. It was pressure operated and had two values, pre-alarm and alarm. If I remember correctly, 0.5 m and 2 m water level, respectively. No dedicated calibration gear was available so a fair amount of improvisation was needed, including making flanges, hoses, etc.
Was my first time as an ETO and no one has ever explained the relevance of the system to me but regardless, it seemed to be a good thing to do, seemed important.
Luckily, have never found out what it looks like to have an actual alarm on that system. Hope will remain that way ....وسعت 2

@arkayokayمنذ 3 سنوات OBO = oil, bulk, ore (not oil bulk oil) graphic doesn't represent actual height of ore cargo. Hove to was primarily to stop ore cargo shift because id="hidden40" class="buttons"> of the low amount of cargo in the hold and more importantly the very low centre of gravity meant the ship would pitch and heel over (and back) very quickly. Other bulk cargoes of grain or coal would have meant slow steaming in the same conditions. Like others on here I was on a sister ship at the same time, same cargoes. ....وسعت 2

@capspreadمنذ 3 سنوات I wasn't aware of the quadrants aspect. Very good video. I was Radio Officer on board one of the sister ships - Sir Alexander Glen 10 months after id="hidden43" class="buttons"> the Derbyshire sank and we had loaded iron ore in Canada and heading towards Kashima when we had to divert from Typhoon Thad in a similar position to where Derbyshire sank. We had an additional problem in that cracks had started to appear in the bulkhead (65)
between the accommodation block and the holds. Cracks were appearing on all sister ships. Had we known the significance of this at the time I think everyone onboard would have been very apprehensive. We had no idea why Derbyshire had sunk other than very stormy seas. I was convinced for years the cause was the Typhoon and possibly the weakened bulkhead 65. I had a Junior Radio Officer on board so that meant we could get weather reports round the clock. But we arrived in Japan OK albeit a day late.
I took a video (cine film) of that trip and it can be seen here & it includes the approaching Typhoon.

(I posted this earlier in the week, but lost all comments due to a problem with my channel). ....وسعت
