Скачать или смотреть Salvaging & Restoring a WWII M4 Sherman Tank Lost During Transport — 80 Years Underwater

During World War II, thousands of M4 Sherman tanks were shipped across oceans as part of the Allied war effort. Not all of them made it to the front lines.
This documentary follows the salvage and restoration of a WWII M4 Sherman medium tank that sank during transport after a port-side accident, never seeing combat. Resting underwater for decades, the tank remained sealed in silt and salt until recovery teams located and raised it.
The video documents each stage in detail — from underwater discovery, controlled lifting, and initial inspection, to cleaning, stabilization, mechanical freeing, interior survey, and final yard preparation. Every step is performed using real industrial restoration methods focused on preservation rather than replacement.
This Sherman is not a replica and not a museum reconstruction. What you see is the original wartime vehicle, scars intact, history preserved.
