After leaving Liverpool on February 11th, 1893, the SS Naronic vanished without a trace somewhere in the North Atlantic not far from where the Titanic would sink almost 20 years later. Now just a footnote in the history of the White Star Line, the fate of the Naronic remains a confounding mystery and the line’s only ghost ship.

    When I was pretty desperate for work, I got a job working at a tip/recycling plant in the middle of winter and it was a fucking deathtrap with the cheapest everything you could imagine. The only things in the entire place that had any quality were the two brothers that "ran" the place for Daddy's top of the range Range Rovers each which they would arrive on site in about 10.30am.They would then whine continuously for about two hours at their secretaries and foremen and then leave at 2pm sharp every day.They were the epitome of spoiled rich negligent Daddys boys who wouldn"t spend a fucking penny on any safety gear or upkeep whatsoever and if there was going to be an audit they would hire some brand new shit for a day or two then it would be straight back to usual. My point being,if,for any reason there's a colossal accident/incident and there's a subsequent investigation the bosses,owners,ceo's,whatever should ABSOLUTELY be a major part of the investigation because I guarantee it's their negligence and/or tightfistedness that was responsible for the problem in the first place. There's no one on the face of the planet who's a more disgusting human being than fat ,lazy spoilt people whom undeservedly "inherit" stuff,usually off of super talented people.

    I enjoyed this very much. My parents and I took the Michaelangelo from New York to Naples then continued on docking in I think it was Genoa? I still have the menu from the dinning room somewhere I think.I remember it like it was yesterday, walking the deck and my mother saying "Look! That is the Rock of Gibraltar!" It was a very magical trip and I will never forget it. Thank you for this informative video!

    My great uncle was on that fast convoy that left from Sydney, but he was on the Aquitania. He was killed in the battle of El Alamein in 1942. I think it's so cool that he was on such a famous ship, though I wish he had come home on it as well.

    I used to have so much fun with Ouija boards. Some fellow teens believed it was really. I always know it is fake. But when the other teens insisted they needed another player to be able to use the Ouija board successfully, they kind of recruited me to play with the board, with them. At first, it seemed just a boring, pointless, process. So I decided to add some fun into it. I rolled my eyes back and started saying ridiculous things like I was being posessed by Captain Howdy or Pazuzu. I exaggerated the twitching, stupid voices, and fake vomit I made out of a can of cream of mushroom when I went to the bathroom. They idiots actually believed I was posessed and were actually terrified. I was making the most stupid act I could think of doing an they were believing it. Then I would tell them to get out and start screaming. They would run out and get in their cars and screech tyres out of the area. The following day I would act like I remember none of it. Soon, everyone stopped talking to me after a few days. After two, "performances," I had no friends nor a girlfriend. Everyone was afraid I could get posessed again. But, little did they realise, the board says, "Parker Brothers," on the bottom of it. There is nothing real about them. They are made by the hundreds in a factory..

    Whether an ocean going ship or a humble motorbike, never rename a vehicle/ vessel unless extensive changes are made to it. Changing of colour, engine repair or replacement, accessory changes, do not count. You curse your vessel by doing so. I have seen this unfortunate curse take place with simple vehicles and vessels, like a small cabin cruiser, or an automobile. If the vessel is not named, then a name can be given at any time. Once it is given, it must remain if no major configuration change is not made. If the vehicle / vessel is sold, the name must be given to the new owner. If the new owner changes the name without major changes, you did your duty. You are not at fault. Be careful what you name your vessel. If you do not like the name later, you should not change it without major changes doe to the vessel / vehicle. It is better to wait to give a name to your vessel until you decide what name yo want. I waited a year and a half before naming my vehicle. This was to make certain I would not want to change it. 27 years later, I still have my beloved, RMS Stargazer.

    As for the Titanic’s ‘mystery ship’, I’ve heard the theory that it could have been another ice burg reflecting light off of it from a great distance. That would explain the distant light, as well as why it never messaged back… not too sure, but call it another theory out of the bag full of “this and that” could have’s.
