Navire disparu retrouvé après 50 ans — Que s’est-il passé ?

  • last month
Le SS Béchimo est l'un des navires fantômes les plus célèbres de l'histoire. C'était un vapeur cargo qui s'est retrouvé piégé dans les glaces de l'Arctique en 1931 et a été abandonné par son équipage. Étonnamment, le navire n'a pas coulé et a été aperçu à la dérive autour de l'Arctique pendant des décennies par la suite, avec la dernière observation confirmée en 1969. Malgré de nombreuses tentatives de sauvetage, le Béchimo semblait avoir une volonté propre et a toujours échappé à la capture. À ce jour, personne ne sait ce qui est arrivé au navire, ajoutant à sa légende mystérieuse. Animation créée par Sympa.

00:00 There is a ship drifting somewhere in the ocean without a crew.
00:06 The last time someone saw it was more than 50 years ago.
00:12 Its history recalls that of the Dutch Flying.
00:15 A ship doomed to sail forever and bring disaster to anyone who sees it at sea.
00:20 At least according to the legend.
00:23 Unlike the Flying Dutchman, the SS Beechemo was definitely real and built for a German company in Hamburg.
00:30 And started as an ordinary freight ship.
00:33 It exchanged supplies between Hamburg and Sweden in the Baltic Sea from 1914.
00:38 It had a powerful steam engine and a steel hull.
00:42 A few years later, it became British property.
00:46 In the 1920s, a Canadian company bought it for about $18,000, a huge sum at the time.
00:53 The new owner, the company of the Bay of Hudson, actively used the ship for several years.
00:59 He often sent it on a trip from his port of attaché in Scotland to Siberia, Alaska, Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
01:07 It also crossed the Panama Canal and even the Suez Canal, with fur seals on board for sale.
01:14 Sometimes, it also transported passengers.
01:17 It had made nine successful trips before this series of chances came to an end.
01:22 From the 1930s, the SS Beechemo encountered problems with ice and storms.
01:28 When it was caught in the ice for the first time in October 1931, part of the crew managed to escape to Alaska.
01:36 15 of the 22 sailors decided to stay with their ship and try to save it.
01:41 They had fur seals and other precious cargo on board, worth about $58,000.
01:47 The company sent them supplies to survive the winter.
01:50 They set up a camp near the ship using traps, tarps and other materials, and unloaded the cargo.
01:56 At the end of November, a blizzard swept the region and it seemed that he had taken the ship with him.
02:02 The ice platform had survived, but the ship had detached.
02:06 Some crew members were sure that he had sunk.
02:09 But shortly after, they received news from a local who had spotted their ship about 72 km from their camp.
02:16 The crew continued their life, and the ship began its journey as a fugitive ship.
02:22 People saw the SS Beechemo about once a year, and this until 1969.
02:28 It was mainly spotted off the coast of Alaska.
02:32 Some men went to Nome with their dog sled, some prospectors, explorers and treasure hunters claimed to have seen the SS Beechemo.
02:40 Someone tried to get on board and take it to the port, but ended up stuck on it for days due to a terrible weather.
02:48 Others were more lucky and managed to take a rescue canoe, some furniture and other valuable ship objects.
02:55 Those who approached the ship saw that it was damaged and that the propeller was missing.
03:00 Yet it remained afloat without crew for at least 38 years, and became the longest-sailing ghost ship in history.
03:08 In 2006, the Alaska authorities launched a project to solve the mystery of this "ghost ship of the Arctic"
03:15 and finally find the SS Beechemo, whether still on the surface or underwater.
03:20 So far, the project has not succeeded.
03:23 The SS Beechemo remains one of the 4,000 ships estimated to have disappeared off the coast of Alaska.
03:30 If the legend of the 17th century is not lying, this ghost ship could sail somewhere along the Flying Dutchman.
03:37 It belonged to the Dutch East Indies Company.
03:40 Its captain managed the impossible for the time and sailed from Holland to Indonesia in just three months.
03:47 It was said that it was flying over the sea and some bad language explained that it had made a pact with the forces of evil to get there.
03:55 Once the ship was on its way home, its captain and crew disappeared without a trace.
04:01 There are many versions of what happened to it.
04:04 One of the first says that it had tried to enter the port at Cape Bonespérance,
04:09 was caught in a terrible storm and sank because there was no captain to save it.
04:14 Another legend says that the captain refused to obey the heavens to let the ship sink during the storm.
04:20 A form of frightening light then struck the ship and the crew,
04:24 and it was then condemned to sail eternally without rest.
04:27 Many sailors claimed to have seen the Flying Dutchman.
04:31 Duke Diorque, who was to become king of England, mentioned seeing him in the Australian waters.
04:36 Just after having spotted the ship, the man who had seen it first fell from the top of the mast and did not survive.
04:42 There were other encounters with this legendary ship until the middle of the 20th century.
04:47 The ships almost collided with it while the Flying Dutchman did not emerge from nowhere.
04:52 Scientists have a more logical explanation for this mystery.
04:56 The Fata Morgana.
04:57 Not to be confused with Hakuna Matata.
05:00 When you are at sea on a hot day and the air seems to be wavy,
05:05 it looks like what you see on the road on a hot summer day.
05:09 This is due to what is called atmospheric refraction.
05:12 When light passes through different layers of air with different temperatures and densities,
05:17 it curves and bends.
05:19 Sometimes, under certain conditions, this curvature of the light can create optical illusions that are really strange above the ocean.
05:26 Like the appearance of the Flying Dutchman.
05:29 The phenomenon of Fata Morgana can make objects appear distant, deformed, stretched, or even raised above the horizon.
05:36 So you can see a ship in the distance.
05:39 But because of the way the light curves, it will seem to float above the water or even disappear and reappear.
05:45 A Fata Morgana is most often observed in the polar regions,
05:48 especially above large ice sheets that have a uniformly low temperature.
05:54 However, you can see it anywhere, even in the deserts and above lakes on hot days.
06:02 The first stories about ghost ships date back to ancient Greek and Roman mythology.
06:07 One of the most famous ghost ships in history is the Mary Celeste.
06:11 This brigantine traveled from New York to Genoa and was entirely loaded with supplies,
06:16 but she was deprived of a crew when she was discovered in the Atlantic Ocean in 1872.
06:23 The crew's personal effects were also present, perfectly intact.
06:27 The last registration in her onboard journal was made 10 days earlier.
06:31 We still do not know what happened to her crew,
06:34 and the ship has inspired many scary and legendary stories.
06:39 The Lady Lovie Bond was another legendary ghost ship,
06:45 which is said to have sunk off the shores of the Kent in the middle of the 18th century.
06:49 The story goes that the captain of the ship, Simon Reed, had just gotten married
06:54 and had taken his young wife on board for a cruise celebration,
06:58 despite the superstition that it could bring bad luck.
07:02 They were on their way to Portugal when the second, who was also in love with the captain's new wife,
07:07 driven mad by jealousy, attacked another crew member,
07:11 then took control of the ship and headed directly to the dreadful banks of Goodwin.
07:17 No one on board survived, and it is said that the Lady Lovie reappeared like a ghost ship every 50 years.
07:25 At present, many ships are abandoned and intentionally become ghost ships.
07:31 There are thousands of them floating in the rivers, lakes, canals and coasts of the United States.
07:37 Some people lose their boats in storms and other extreme weather conditions.
07:43 Others have to abandon their boats because their maintenance can cost up to 10% of the price of the boat.
07:48 In addition, the mooring of a ship can cost several thousand dollars each year.
07:52 Many boats are made of glass fiber, so their owner cannot simply recycle them as used metals.
07:59 So, when they want to get rid of them, they often tend to tie them to a dock and sneak away discreetly,
08:05 to let them float far from the shore or to try to sink them.
08:09 When these ghost ships sink in shallow waters,
08:12 they can damage the coral reefs, mangroves, tides, australian habitats and wetlands.
08:19 In addition, they can collide with regular ships that do not expect it and cause serious problems.
08:26 So, do not do that.
08:28 It's said.
