If you enjoyed this video, please consider joining my Patreon to help create more videos like this! To give a one-time tip, please visit: The Sachem has sat on a small tributary of the Ohio River for over 30 years now, rusting away and falling prey to vandals. Despite the fact that it gets occasional interest as an urban-exploration site, the history of this vessel has been so often overlooked and is rarely told. Having been built in 1901, she served in both World Wars, was Thomas Edison's special at-sea laboratory, and served around 3,000,000 passengers in her long career. I also love that this exploration is a unique opportunity to cross the two main focuses on my channel. Aside from the rich maritime history, it's also a remote ruin that we get to climb into and explore. In this video, I mention the TJ Potter shipwreck being something I've filmed for my channel. As of right now, I haven't had a chance to edit and publish it. But, it's in the works. If you want to visit the Sachem, be aware that she is private property and it is considered trespassing to board her. I contacted in advance to seek permission to put this project together.
