In 1933 a Russian cargo ship was making a groundbreaking trip across northern russia, through the arctic, in hopes of establishing a permanent trade route known as the northeast passage. Like so many ships before, it got stuck in the increasingly thick winter ice and was trapped for months at the mercy of the ocean currents below. Then, one day in February, there was a deep groaning from the ship’s hull. Immediately afterward, the captain yelled for everyone to abandon the ship. This is the story of the maiden voyage of the Chelyuskin

    Its incredible they almost all made it off the ice. The captain must have been a great leader to keep morale going for such a long difficult time.
  • Seems like the expedition leader Otto had a good head on his shoulders. The influence of good leadership and planning has in such a desperate situation, should not be underestimated.
  • Only one casualty, and out of unfortunate circumstances. An amazing result for captain Otto.
  • This is the first of these stories Ive heard where people are actually competent and didnt devolve into canibalism or somebody turning into a tiny dictator
  • @annakeye
    We so often hear of the British expedition of The Terror and The Erebus. Which ended in abject failure, not to mention misery. I had never heard of the Chelyuskin so this was a real treat. Not least because of the fact that women and children were on the ship but also the heroic rescue and fantastic leadership by Otto Schmidt. Thanks for this.

    I’m amazed that it turned out so well for them. That’s rare in these stories
  • Despite the dire situation and the hardships the crew had to endure, it was really refreshing to hear a story about a stranded ship where the survivors didn’t immediately give in to savagery and violence…
  • @BasicGeometry
    Third trimester is a wonderful time for an arctic voyage
  • I lived in Kotzebue, Alaska (on the Chukchi Sea) for a few years. It was -55 degrees F the day that I landed there. Despite that I fell in love with the place. I miss it every day.
  • @Kyritheous
    Just got off graveyard shift and now I have something to watch before bed. Thanks!
  • These folks did so damn well. I never hear these types of stories where people make almost all of the correct decisions
  • Try to imagine the feeling you have hearing the sound of an approaching airplane engine sitting on a melting icesheet for 8 months without a ship. In the first place it is incredible they were able to locate the expedition so precisely after so many months on shifting ice in the middle of an ocean, without GPS.
  • That Otto sounded like an outstanding leader. Epic beard on top of it.
  • @sarosClips
    okay ngl that ice cracking sound and effect at the end of the intro was awesome
  • A harrowing adventure well told. After watching several stories in which there are many fatalities, I felt relief when I learned that all but one person was successfully rescued.
  • While it makes total sense it's still wild seeing on the map what looks like blue ocean but there was an entire camp there, cos it was mostly just vast expanses of frozen ice. The maps showing the different locations just made those thoughts even more jarring, it's insane to think how much of the northern waters and the Arctic Sea in general are just covered by such thick layers of ice that it's safe to set up camp on it. Wild. Great video as always!
  • @coltrueg
    I love this one. A harrowing tale with all but one surviving is incredible.
  • You can check out the lost Brusilov expedition. It was a Russian hunting expedition that got stuck in pack ice in 1913 and drifted north. Half of the crew decided to leave the vessel and walk to land, of those (and everyone else left on the ship) only two have returned. Their journey is well documented in a diary of mr. Albanov and was published as a book.

    Wow this story is incredible. I can't believe I've never heard of this before. I was so relieved to hear that even the newborn made it! Imagine being in that environment and giving birth on a ship in the Arctic Circle. Giving birth wouldn't even be the scariest part, then you have to keep a newborn alive while stranded in the frozen Arctic. The captain, Otto, must have been quite a formidable and level-headed commander.

    I had never even considered that the ice could literally expand and crush a boat.. THIS RECOVERY IS SO COOL. Only 1 death???????? HOLY HECK.
