In December of 1867, a trade ship known as the Queen of Swansea was travelling along the Newfoundland coast when it disappeared during a violent storm and was presumed lost at sea. However, months later, on a remote island nearby, a group of sailors stumbled upon something that changed the story entirely. What they found revealed a far more disturbing series of events than anyone could have imagined. As always, viewer discretion is strongly advised.

I love that he hasn't changed the music or the format. Thank you for keeping this channel classic. This is the OG. Everyone else is an imitator.

People with phones in 2026: “Meh. Imma just leave this on read”

Felix in 1867: “Imma finish this letter with my own blood if I have to. Bet.”

Years of following this channel now, and I must say I am still both scared and interested

But I refuse to use any discretion

Seeing life and warmth so close but still so far had to have made an already miserable situation infinitely worse.

The watercolor style artwork you've been using is beautiful, especially for maritime disasters

Being trapped, freezing and starving on a desolate rock while a town is in eyesight, but knowing you have no way to call for help must have been a special kind of hell

Imagine being lost on an island and suffering a slow, painful death... but the whole time you can literally see a happy community right across the bay. That's horrible.

Never expected to hear the name of my Grandmother's tiny village to be named in one of these. She was from New Harbour.

Their initial survival turned into a bittersweet blessing. If they had crashed into an unscaleable cliff, their ordeal might have been over much faster.

In cold climates and in these situations a dead person is considered and known as "the final resource."

These poor people. It is agony to be shipwrecked far from civilization but at least the situation can be rationalized. To die so close to help and hope is pure tragedy. This story is sad beyond description.

i grew up in a small town on the shore of Newfoundland. I know firsthand just how rough and dangerous the sea gets in the winter and how beaten by the waves and snow the barren islands around the coast can get. I can imagine just how horrible the last days of these people must have been.

Those 2 base notes are so recognisable and perfect 👌🏽

I was at my brothers a few months back. Your new video came up and I had him watch it with me. He now calls to excitedly to tell me, "There's a new Scary Interesting video up". Of course, I already know!

20:03 The island claimed one ship and fifteen lives, not eleven. The four men lost while attempting to retrieve supplies from the ship would have lived if not for the island.
