This video does an excellent job balancing historical context with emotional weight. The story of the USS Cyclops is deeply unsettling—not just because of its mysterious disappearance, but because of the 309 lives lost under the questionable leadership of Captain Worley. It's tragic that so many voices went unheard despite documented concerns. My heart goes out to the crew and their families, who were denied justice and closure.

I'd rather watch three hours of this than any two of the average Hollywood blockbusters. 👍

Crazy how a ship can go missing with full crew and just vanish, no clues no mayday,nothing.

Thank you for showing us the faces of the young men lost on the Cyclops. They were so young, and handsome. I think about their parents, wives and sweethearts, who were waiting for a return that would never happen, and it's so heartbreaking. Bless the souls of those lost at sea. 🌹

I had no idea White Star Line lost so many ships! Jack was right to write a letter of complaints to the company!

The US Navy's defense of a dirtbag officer like Captain Worley does NOT surprise me in the least! They have always been like that and always will be. The brass covering for their own.

My YT algorithm has become obsessed with this guy. Like a snowball effect where it's his videos constantly.

My dad used to tell me stories before bed. He passed last year. This channel brings me back to those moments.

MV Lyubov Orlova was probably my favorite story what a sad and scary end to a ship such a shame they couldn’t save her Great video i could watch these for hours!

I absolutely love the way you use music and sound effects! These videos are wonderful!

@alekpo2000 1 year ago

one of the people that worked on the ship (neronic) said that the engine liked to toss a rod trough the hull of the ship with no warning under load, i dont think somebody would say that with no reason its very specific

I feel like I’ve just gotten a gift for mother’s day and I’m not even a mom yet 😂

A questionably designed (a couple of its sister ships also disappeared) ship with only one working engine. Carrying a difficult new cargo and might have been overloaded.

It’s not difficult to imagine what probably happened to the Cyclops.
