So there’s this TikTok dude, Josh (@joshtheintern), right? He’s scrolling through Google Earth, probably bored or something, and BAM—he spots what looks like a shipwreck chillin’ on some remote UK coastline. Now, most of us would be like, “Cool,” and move on. Not Josh. This guy straight-up packs his bags and decides to go find the thing.
Cornwall: Where It All Goes Down
He ends up in Cornwall, specifically Lands’ End—basically the southwest corner of England. The place is a vibe, with cliffs, ocean views, and all that. Josh was blown away, but also like, “This spot is hella dangerous. Over 130 ships have wrecked here.”
After some hiking along sketchy cliff edges, Josh finally spots it. A rusty old ship, tucked into this little cove like it’s hiding from the world.
The Up-Close Look
Josh, being Josh, scrambles over the rocks to get closer. “Man, this thing’s huge,” he says. Parts of the ship are falling apart, but that doesn’t stop him from climbing aboard. What does he find? Nothing but empty, rusty rooms. Still, he’s hyped. “This place is insane,” he says, wondering out loud why a massive ship like this ended up here.
The Wild Backstory
Cue the TikTok detectives in the comments. Turns out, this ship is the RMS Mulheim, a German cargo ship. Back in 2003, it was carrying, like, 2,200 tons of recycled plastic when disaster struck.
And get this—the disaster? Pants. Yup. The dude on watch tripped over his own pants, passed out, and by the time he came to, it was too late to save the ship.
Epic Adventure with a Side of Danger
Josh was living his best life climbing cliffs and checking out the wreck. He said the scenery was next-level—think crashing waves and dramatic cliffs, straight out of a movie. These areas are unstable, and shipwrecks aren’t playgrounds. Be smart.
TikTok Reacts
Josh’s vid blew up, and people had a lot to say. Locals from Cornwall were like, “Wait, what? We’ve lived here forever and didn’t know about this.” Others shared memories: “I saw that wreck years ago. Time hasn’t been kind to it.”
The Legend of the Pants Wreck
So yeah, the RMS Mulheim is officially TikTok-famous now. Between Josh’s epic trek and the hilarious backstory, people can’t stop talking about it. Who knew a pair of pants could bring down a whole ship, huh?
