from mysterious ships in Russia to junkyard military jets these are ten strange abandoned ships and planes number 10 test sight plane Russia we kick off this list with a derelict site found in the Leningrad Oblast of Russia I spent way too much time trying to figure out the exact location and I have had no luck the test plane looks like an earlier model of the so called su-24 the plane looks extremely close to the su-7 and if I'm correct that means this test site dates back to the 60s which was an interesting time for both the USSR and the USA trying to find this spot on Google Maps also proved difficult since the pictures I found had absolutely no details just that it was an abandoned test site in the Leningrad Oblast in Russia for those of you wondering Leningrad was renamed to st. Petersburg but the Oblast or County / area was never changed well if anyone has any idea what this place was or where it is please share their knowledge in the comments below number 9 MV Cigna Australia in 1974 the MV Cigna on Norwegian boat carrier was caught in the middle of a major storm near the coast of New South Wales Australia Stockton Beach to be more exact to make things worse the MV Cigna was on its maiden voyage meaning it was the first journey of the ship the MV signal was four miles off the coast waiting to load up with 50,000 tons of coal wind gusts reached 100 miles per hour and a captain decided to set sail unfortunately the orders came way too late the signal was enabled to escape the storm and it ran aground abandoned ship orders were given because of the beating the ship was receiving and the rescue was no walk in the park but all 31 sailors made it out alive during the first salvage operation to ship broken to the second operation didn't go as planned either only the bow section of the ship was salvaged the rest has become an iconic part of Stockton Beach here's the little progression of the ship over the years this is after 10 years 30 years and 42 years number 8 bristol freighter New Zealand pure competition thanks for the lead man I love reading all the comments and suggestions it's always great to hear what everyone thinks of my content so give me your suggestions and comments below the type 170 Friday was built by the British Bristol airplane company starting in 1946 it was mainly used to transport people and cargo and had a long career in the military and civilian markets but it was not without hiccups after 214 planes produced 68 were damaged or destroyed in accidents that's 31 percent which seems pretty damn high for comparison the Boeing 747 introduced in 1968 has had a total of 61 destroyed planes or 4% of the total a little side note the Boeing 737 has been involved in a hundred and twelve hijackings I don't know how I came by this statistic but it just seems so crazy I just had to share it with you all the bristol freighter was widely used in Australia and New Zealand and believe it or not one of the last few remaining planes can be found at the Ardmore airfield near Auckland New Zealand the plane has been collecting dust there for ages and an active aerospace charity organisation in Bristol UK wants to take this plane back I found some conflicting information but I believe that the plane has not made its way back to Europe just yet what do you think should the place stay in New Zealand or be brought back to the UK number seven Lando Vanek France what started off as a Naval Reserve Station in the 1800s has turned into a relatively calm and secluded ship graveyard located in northwestern France and locally referred to as London Vinick this ship graveyard almost lost all its occupants at one point and let's face it you can't have a ship graveyard with no ships in it maybe graveyard is not the right word to use for this location in the first place it's more like a location that houses ships until their ultimate fate is decided are they going to be used as breakwaters or possibly blown up in training exercises find out next week on abandoned ancient alien spaceships only on world unearthed number 6 Douglas c-47 B Dakota Croatia if you have followed this channel for a while you might be wondering why there's just so many c-47 dakota planes just litter around the world well over 10,000 units were produced it was used extensively in world war ii and the plane is still in active service in countries like colombia greece and south africa this particular c-47 is founded those yellow Viera bays which was the largest military airbase in former Yugoslavia nowadays we say it's located between croatia and bosnia herzegovina there's also another abandoned c-47 from former yugoslavia that is stored at a Municipal Airport in Croatia the truth is more and more of these dakotas planes will keep popping up on abandoned plane lists number 5 add Row 3 Cyprus the add Row 3 is another Norwegian cargo ship that had an unfortunate history the ship ran aground near pacaya Cyprus as always rough seas and bad weather were blamed for the wreck there was no salvage operations attempted but the ship was emptied of all cargo fuel and oil and everything that will negatively impact the local environment except for the ship itself because I guess that doesn't matter articles state that it is now forbidden to visit the ship because it's deemed too dangerous which means at some point people are allowed to explore it which must have been a pretty cool experience as if one shipwreck wasn't enough you can also find the remains of the MV Demetrius - nearby that one seems to not have fared as well as ed row 3 number 4 bkk airplane graveyard Thailand I'm not sure if this is an official or a regulated airplane graveyard the first time I heard about this place the visitors said that there were multiple families living inside these abandoned hulls and it just seems so random I mean tallgrass no security no fencing it's almost as if someone decided it would be a good place to dump an airplane and other people and companies just follow suit number 3 US Navy Reserve fleets USA if international political tensions get to a point where the US Navy decides to revive their mothball fleets just run for the hills and hope for the best found from the sunny coasts of California to the murky rivers of Virginia these fleet reserves are a strange sight to experience the ships are seemingly stationed in their own parking lots just missing glow of white painted lines the James River reserve fleet used to have 60 ships nowadays it's dwindled down to only six all the other ones have been scrapped the Suisun Bay reserve fleet located in the Greater San Francisco Bay has a few more ships and looks cool from the air there are more fleets they vary in size and for the most part there's just temporary parking for ships before they are ultimately scrapped number two unknown well it's not really unknown anymore when I first started writing about this plane I had no idea where or what it was then I contacted the photographer who took these pictures and she shared some more information with me but nothing too detailed finally I think I figured it out these pictures were taken at Wade's salvage in New Jersey probably I'm not sure the photographer said it was a small place south of Philly and this location definitely fits the description and what I am not so sure of is why there is a scrapped US airforce plane in some random salvage yard does the military just give them away number one come chat cos ship graveyard Russia should I have just made a list of airplane and ship graveyards maybe in the barren lands of the Kamchatka Peninsula near the city of Petropavlovsk you can find yourself surrounded by snow ice and abandoned ships I believe there are multiple locations in the area that have abandoned ships you can see some in this aerial photo they look like they're in a pretty bad shape and this photo has been circulating blogs since 2008 many people called it fake and many people wanted to know some more information but even now almost 10 years later this set of photos is the only one from the region the two fellas in the photo looks so calm standing next to the massive resting ship if you had the chance to explore around the icy waters would you I think these are some abandoned ships I would not want to go near Google Streetview provides a rare glimpse into the area sure looks a lot different when the bay is now frozen over check out the featured comment below subscribe for more world on earth and I'll see you in the next video [Music]
