Uncovering the Secrets of New York City (Full Episode) | Drain the Oceans

national geographic a real one for uploading whole episodes

This is the reason why construction is always delayed in Greece. You dig down 15-20 feet, something ancient will be found. It's a great find at ground zero, but it doesn't surprise me!

Drain the Oceans has to be one of the best series ever to come to NatGeo! So good

New Yorker born and raised and I had no idea my city had this much history. Sheesh I love national geographics for educating us on past forgotten events.

I'm 61 and a native New Yorker (upstate, not the city) and have always been a history buff. This is the first time I've heard of the Jersey, and how NY'rs were taken prisoner. You would think this would be taught in American History classes.

Never knew this about New York. Thank you for making this video visible for all to learn about.

I find it amazing to think about the troops on that ship and one guy losing a button. I'm sure he didn't think anything of it, he was more concerned about living and living through the war. This button help identify the ship. The small things in history that makes the biggest of differents

This was intense. I wish my dad was alive to see this. He would have been fascinated. Thank you.

Cannot lavish enough accolades for this content. In the 1990s I spent time off the US east coast "mowing the grass" as it was referred to. Never saw these relics but your show brings back old memories. Thanks from the fantail.

Please keep this channel so we can learn ! As humans we have to remember we aren't the first people nor the last to walk this history road and. I mean I always wonder who when,.where and why this happened.. I always watch Albert on this channel and he approach things different and is super easy to understand. Watch him and history will come alive.

Does it do anyone else's head in when people speak in present simple tense when it should be past simple tense? I listen to this narration and I 'm like, oh my god... That aside, brilliant doc!

This is truly interesting, I love drain the oceans episodes, by far the best on National Geographic

The British didn't build the World's largest empire based on...... Kindness. America and American's got to see just a fraction of what Ireland and Western Scotland endured for generations

Very interesting. Watching it all the way from Malaysia.

Great episode. Thank you for uploading to YouTube!

Being born and raised in the city, I remember the neighborhood before the twin towers were built. They had to expand the land for that purpose. So landfill was done!

I'm native to Brooklyn ny my family had farms in Brooklyn since 1900 on Flatbush and my whole family fought in every war and help build this city
