THE 'SEEHUND' RECOVERY

I HATE this music. Please make it stop! I want to watch this documentary!

Long before modern civilization caused the sea level to rise, the Dutch fought sea level rise and won.

if you see the welding at 4.50 you know why it collapsed

Should of restored it for history

WHY IS THE VIDEO SO CHOPPY LIKE A SERVALENC VIDEO ???

the dutch rule!! says william voorvaart

Wow ! Still deadly after all these years....

Hard to imagine that 2 men were in this mini sub.. They have to be nuts to do want to sail in that..

"reconstruction"....!?
What are they going to reconstruct it around, a bolt !?
It's a lump of corroded shite.

Wow! The fish paid the final price for the egos of men.

Build a coffer dam and dredge out the sand and remove the heavily corroded mini submarine and the torpedoes which were heavily corroded. It would have been more fun to implace some explosives and blown it and the torpedoes up insitu and then allow the sea to fill in the hole with sand. A rusty bit of metal in a museum which has limited appeal considering most of the German minisubmarines were scrapped or sunk in deep water at wars end.

Wow

The contractors having plenty of experience in moving sand, is an understatement for the Dutch.

I wanted to see how they took the screws off the detonator.

IMPRESSIVE !!

my eyes are burning from the corrupt framerate of the video

Thats really a wreck

It wasn't worth saving...the cost outweighs the prise at the end

This type of work, which I thought was called “cofferdam” (an enclosure built within a body of water to allow the enclosed area to be pumped out) seems so complicated. Yet, it has been used for centuries. Good work. Music background? … well, it ain’t that bad.

Jerky images kill the enjoyment of the video.

At the beginning of the program it was said that the submarine was to be salvaged because of the chance of the torpedoes going off due to off shore drilling?!? Then they remove one of the torpedoes by explosion cutting?!
Makes no sense , except a good excuse to salvage a seehund and lots of boys out stuff..

If anyone ever claims that men and women should earn the exact same, show them this video and tell them to count the number of women on this site. We make different choices so we have different outcomes.

So drlling offshore creates greater shock waves than the surf zone during a storm?

Glad I'm not paying the hourly rates...lol

What a waste of money and time, why not just blow the whole lot up in situ?

These mini subs sinking 100,000 tons of shipping in the latter years of the war is astounding. That’s a lot of tonnage given the times and the small size of the mini submarines. A very interesting video, thank you.

WIJSMULLER? Is that the same tug/salvage company which produced TOM WYSMULLER, the late former NASA meteorologist?

That's a pretty nice explosion.

WOW what a Nice recovery and very Professionally Removed!! Top of the Line Recovery by WEISMULLER SALVAGE and everybody was SAFE !! WEISMULLER SALVAGE UR THE BEST !!

Those two explosions were (are) stock footage of unrelated incidents.

The Netherlands had a somewhat shameful war, they surrendered quickly, quicker than Belgium despite being very defensible with all of their canals they could have flooded. Their main priority was protecting their infrastructure from destruction. They had the least effective resistance too and gave up their jewish citizens assisting the germans with identification and papers. Did they even try to disrupt submarine operations at IJmuiden?

wait longer next times, perhaps it will rust away fully

All this concern about vibrations only to load it onto a dingy to the ship. Lol

During world war 2 the germans had SEEHUND and Neger mini uboats at two places - at a navy support camp at ASÅ way up in jutland (near Frederichavn/SÆBY) where the germans had many uboats on trailers - the sekond place was outside the town of århus at a place called VESTERENG and here the germans stored 18 see hund with trailers - either places the uboats did not get in service

So. how much of that explosion was actual torpedo and how much of it was the charge used to set it off ?

They just left it on the beach with torpedoes on it all that time since the war? They're bastards and I could kiss them at the same time, Lol
👩‍🎨☕

thank you very much for uploading the video with so many detailes of the recvovery!. i am very sure, that i had been smimming and walking there several times in the 80ies and early nienties at holiday with my parents. memories to eastern vaccation now.

Dutch engineering is just amazing.

No way the explosives inside those torpedo's were still functional ha

why did they destroy the detonator...such a waste

"The notorious west coast of Holland". As opposed to the east coast you mean?

Seehund is the nickname of type of sub it was, the XXVII midget sub. the one they are digging up is the u-5095.

No mention of the souls on board?

The Dutch do it Well.

I really like these salvage videos from Svitzer - are there any plans to make some newer ones of more recent work done? Thanks!

There was a mini sub on display at the IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM LONDON. As a child, a group of us would frequently visit during our school holidays.
