Dartmouth breaks away from the dominant modern sounds of metal and pop-punk while also paying tribute to modern alternative rock bands. Dartmouth’s original sound is mainly derived from funk rhythms, bluesy improvisation, profound lyrics, and catchy grooves that embrace the attention of new listeners as well as returning fans. The band’s four members combine timeless musical elements, a strong drive for originality, and tight-wound improvisation full of chemistry to achieve their truly unique reputation as a modern rock band between the stereotypes.

I have a suggestion for a new video: the sinking of the Arabia Steamboat in (i believe) the Missouri river. While the sinking itself might not be so extraordinary they have a beautiful museum in Kansas City and it's like a giant time capsule of that time. It's really interesting how they found the boat, where they found it and how they were able to preserve many of the artifacts inside. They had to develop special "ovens" that very slowly remove the humidity from the objects without damaging them. They also have many different medicine bottles from that time that they refuse to identify because there's a big chance their components are illegal nowadays and if that was the case they would have to dispose of them. I had a great time in that museum

Thanks for the interesting video on The Dartmouth and her possible final resting place. I've always had an interest and fascination with anything historic and maritime and really enjoyed this bit of the history of Nova Scotias' ferry fleet. I had remembered reading about the great Halifax harbor explosion and the Dartmouth and her crew were extremely lucky to come through that in better shape than others. It's too bad that something of the vessel wasn't saved for history but back then I guess that just wasn't as important as other things.

A good challenge for you would be to try to find the wreck of the chippewa. A ferry that sank in the early 1970s near the near the Collinsville Fishing Resort near stockton, on the sacramento rkver. The resort was bought in the 1980s and demolished, leading some historians to believe this was also the end of the line for chippewa. although no records exist indicating she was scrapped. However, as late as 2020, satellite photos of the area show an unnatural shape on the bottom of the Sacramento River at the site, roughly matching the dimensions of the Chippewa, meaning her hull may have survived, even if as a shipwreck. I can't really go to stockton, not sure if you can either. If that is the case, to anybody reading this, please help us find chippewa's wreck.

Thanks for another great video.
You mentioned the shares were "only $10" in 1885. That needs to be put in context. The average annual income in Halifax 26 years later, in 1911, was $528.94 (Stats Canada). Imagine it was less than that in 1885 (in Quebec it was about $280 per year). In 2022 the average income is almost exactly 100x what it was in 1911, so at a cost of $10 it was the rough equivalent of over $1000 per share in today's money, too rich and too risky for the average citizen. The previous company's $500 per share was a whole year's wage for the average person!

A very nice video about a very interesting piece of maritime history. One minor point: At about 13:50 you refer to the ferry as "SS Dartmouth". It is my understanding that, at the time, SS stood for "screw steamer" and PS stood for "paddle steamer." It wasn't until later, when the paddle steamers were mostly gone that SS shifted to "steam ship." Is that your understanding as well? If so, she should be "PS Dartmouth"

The second HMAS Sydney, launched in 1934 as the HMS Phaeton, was famously lost off the coast of Western Australia in a battle with a German cruiser called the Kormoran in 1941. Nobody knew exactly where the battle had taken place or where the wreckage was for decades, until it was finally found in 2008. There's been a lot of speculation about the whole event and it's worth looking into for anyone who's interested.
