Salvage Mission in the North Sea | The Salvage Masters | Autentic Documentary

Video Description

In summer of 2013, the Dutch government began an extraordinary campaign to clean out the nation’s channels of old shipwrecks, silent dangers rusting under the surface for decades. This episode tracks the clearing of Dutch navigation channels from four dangerous underwater hazards in order to foster safer sea transport. From its windswept shores to quaint cities with their windmills and quiet canals, the Netherlands depends on water as its lifeline. But hidden below the surface of Dutch waters lie hundreds of sunken ships, threatening the nation’s livelihood. As the world’s sea trade grows in size, Europe’s maritime gateway must remain free. The waterways of the Netherlands are the vital lifeline for the whole of Europe. The wrecks either need to be removed or reduced in height to ensure free passage of the giant cargo ships that Europe’s economy depends on. The four wrecks to be salvaged in this job were an unknown wreck lying at the bottom of the Ijeul channel, the Ariana cargo ship which blocked the Westerscheld waterway, the Jan Breydel fishing boat lying in the entry channel to Rotterdam’s Europort and a 1860s steamship lying off the island of Vlieland. ______ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@AutenticDocumentary/?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/autentic.documentary TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@autenticdocumentary Website: https://www.autentic.com Autentic Documentary is the ultimate source for captivating documentaries on a wide range of topics.
