Scuba Diving in Hawaii: Sea Tiger Shipwreck
This video was taken when I went diving for getting more experience towards my advanced open water diving certification.
The dive site is called Sea Tiger and it is one of the deepest dives for beginner/ intermediate divers. It is right outside the Kewalo Basin Harbor next to Ala Moana Beach Park. I would HIGHLY recommend doing this dive if you are looking to dive in Hawaii.
I hope you all enjoy the video and if you want to see more LIKE this video and also SUBSCRIBE to my channel.

Ascension Island – supplying the garrison
Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).
This mini-documentary follows the story of Ascension Island, a UK Overseas Territory in the Atlantic Ocean. Ascension is a small, desolate volcanic island, yet it proved essential in the 19th century as an important victualing station for ships rounding the capes. The British garrisoned the island, built large forts and relied on the strongholds with vital supplies that could make or break round the world voyages. After Charles Darwin and Joseph Hooker visited the island, the two naturalists developed a radical idea - to create a man-made rainforest on Ascension's tallest cinder to create drinking water for the garrisoned soldiers. The experiment was a spectacular success, and by the 1870s, the dry volcanic desert had been transformed into a lush rainforest. We explore the legacy of the experiment, and the surprising use of planted Norfolk Island pines.
Please note: although complementary to the BBC FOUR series, the 40 short mini-documentaries are not commissioned or editorially overseen by BBC.

Edward Low
Captain Edward Ned Low was a notorious English pirate during the latter days of the Golden Age of Piracy, in the early 18th century. He was born around 1690 into poverty in Westminster, London, and was a thief from an early age. Low moved to Boston, Massachusetts, as a young man. His wife died in childbirth in late 1719. Two years later, he became a pirate, operating off the coasts of New England and the Azores, and in the Caribbean.
He captained a number of ships, usually maintaining a small fleet of three or four. Low and his pirate crews captured at least a hundred ships during his short career, burning most of them. Although he was active for only three years, Low remains notorious as one of the most vicious pirates of the age, with a reputation for violently torturing his victims before killing them.

Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island (/ˈmækɨnɔː/ MAK-in-aw) is an island and resort area, covering 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2) in land area, in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in Lake Huron, at the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, between the state's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. The island was home to a Native American settlement before European exploration began in the 17th century. It served a strategic position amidst the commerce of the Great Lakes fur trade. This led to the establishment of Fort Mackinac on the island by the British during the American Revolutionary War. It was the site of two battles during the War of 1812.
In the late 19th century, Mackinac Island became a popular tourist attraction and summer colony. Much of the island has undergone extensive historical preservation and restoration; as a result, the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It is well known for its numerous cultural events; its wide variety of architectural styles, including the famous Victorian Grand Hotel; its fudge; and its ban on almost all motor vehicles. More than 80 percent of the island is preserved as Mackinac Island State Park.

ATLANTIS TREASURES FOUND!! Ep. 1 - WITH SATELLITE PHOTO PROOF!! - Advanced Not For Children
*Disclaimer: This Video is Not Made for Children - Advanced Level Study & Research*
(Episode #1) Plato writes, Atlantis was situated in front of the straits…there was a HARBOR within the straits of Heracles…the sea in those parts is IMPASSIBLE and IMPENTRABLE, because there is a SHOAL OF MUD in the way. Therefore, find the impenetrable harbor and we have found Atlantis. HOMER’S ILLIAD describes a HARBOR AT TROY, within the Straits of Dardanelle during the second Trojan war c1180 BC. It is no longer there. Archeologist John C. Kraft, Phd. and his team have verified, with boring samples of the area, that THERE ONCE WAS A BAY AT TROY. His Bay illustration is posted on this site.
The SUBSIDENCE of the area, as Plato describes, completely FILLED THE BAY with earth and rock, and even the FORT AT TROY WAS BURIED. Only in 1870 AD did Heinrich Schliemann and Frank Calvert excavate the site to locate the Fort of Troy. Schliemann found a CACHE OF GOLD and assumed it was King Priam’s Treasure, but it turned out to be 1000 years older than Priam.
According to Plato, the items washed off the island included GOLD STATUES of all of Poseidon’s descendants including his sons and their wives, temples covered with gold and silver, a gold statue of Poseidon so large that his head touched the roof of the building, etal. SCHLIEMANN FOUND so many GOLD ARTIFACTS, JEWELRY and COINS that he set up a magnificent residence in Athens housing the Numismatic Museum of Athens.
SCHLIEMANN’S EXCAVATION was done at the FORT OF TROY ONLY, not under the whole of the Plateau of Troy, WHERE THE HARBOR HAD BEEN. Perhaps ground penetrating radar will locate the GRANDIOSE GOLD STATUE OF POSEIDON WHOSE HEAD TOUCHED THE ROOF. The heaviest treasures would be where the harbor bottom was, wouldn’t they? Time only knows WHO WILL BE FIRST to grasp the truth of Atlantis, find its treasures and prove Plato’s words: Atlantis was at the center of commerce and was THE RICHEST KINGDOM THAT EVER WAS.
