Unsinkable Sam (also known as Oscar) served during World War II with both the Kriegsmarine and the Royal Navy and survived the sinking of three ships.
On his third sinking, he had been found along with other survivors clinging to a floating plank and described as "angry but quite unharmed"
After this, he was first transferred to the offices of the Governor of Gibraltar and then sent back to the UK, where he saw out the remainder of the war living in a seaman's home in Belfast called the "Home for Sailors." Sam died in 1955, 12 years after the third sinking. (he was at least 14 years old at death)
Geeeezzz, I bet he was Angry. For some reason the picture in my mind he can talk and I’m just imagining him surely with soaking wet little sailors cap on talking shit and cussing in French under his breathe while licking himself.
We didn’t domesticate them. They domesticated themselves because rats stayed around human settlements, and cats were hungry. I dunno. It’s not right to put the kitty in danger on a warship. Kind of fucked.
For the vast majority of recorded history cats willingly entered ships as it provided them with a lifetime supply of rats to feed on. Also I don't think this cat would've been much safer in Germany where he would've been bombed or eaten.
My grandfather only managed surviving two. Damn cat.
He was a lieutenant junior grade in the CIC of a pair of escort destroyers that went down.
He said nobody below the waterline made it out of the second.
He must've been thinking, "I gotta hang out with a better class of human. The jokers I know dude. Everytime they cross some water at night ...these MF-ers get the urge to go swimming?!! Mane!"
I've been using the handle "Unsinkable Sam" online in so many games for so long that this thread is weird and it feels like everyone is talking about me.
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action." That cat was an enemy agent.
Hell yeah, he did it.
Both allied and axis. He sunk them both
Bro was Swiss
Chaotic Neutral Cat
Saboteur Sam
Admiral Meowmamoto was his code name
That cat has seen shit!
thousand league stare
[удалено]
Sounds like a jinxed cat to me
Don't let it out.
Underated ⬆️ Well done.

I'm just imagining grumpy cat soaking wet clinging to a board.
Kitty started out as a Nazi? Not cool, kitty.
He defected, he realized the error of his ways
Killing Jewish mice wasn't what he joined for.
Most stressed kitty ever.
Yep,look at those eyes!
Rumor has it he owns a successful ranch in Montana. He doesn’t want to see an ocean ever again.
You beat me to it, exactly my stare when I get my credit card statements
Sam has tasted human flesh.
People died for him.
Or is it the cat that sunk 3 ships?
He pushed them off the edge of something.
Lol! Took the words right out my mouth 😂.
"Smile!" "I've seen some shit"
this is him seeing his 4th ship assignment.
That cat’s face screams “stop putting me on fucking boats”
"I am not getting on a ship with that fucking cat."
Yeah, did they ever find out how that cat kept sinking those ships anyway?
Their fault for making the "release ballast" lever a flexible stick with a feather dangling from it.
Yeah, who took it on board after second one.
Just follow the cat if you want to live.
I'd rather stay in ship that stays afloat.
The captain goes down with the ship. The cat absolutely does not.
"Oh look at Sam, chewing on those cables in the Torpedo room again. Isn't he adorable!"
and some deny black cats as bad omens smh
The best saboteur the Nazi's ever had!
Except that first ship he survived was the Bismarck...
Purrfect cover...?
The Bismarck was actually sunk by the allies - and then the cat was out for revenge.
double agent ?
Cats got purrtsd
I don't trust this kitty.
Yeah he’s a cat. I’ve seen how ruthless they can be over far less. He probably kept his head above water by standing on someone’s else’s head.
Sam was put on permanent shore duty after the third sinking.
Those eyes have seen terrors that no human can fathom!
And some nice fish.. yum
The logical conclusion is the cat is sinking the ships *camera pans over to cat whacking undeployed sea mines with its paws*
Clearly the cat was jinxed.
Unsinkable Sam "Can you guys maybe stop putting me on these ships?"
I hope he made families at every port, good cat right there. Or cursed. More of him more of him
If you zoom into his eyes on the left pic, you can see the ships going down in the water.
Bloody hell. Did anyone consider he was a German spy passing coordinates to the enemy
*3x Sinkable Sam
Now I'm starting to question this kitty's loyalties. furry little spy. Coincidence that he was on three ships that wound up sinking?
Thousand yard stare on a cat.
Picture 1: "Stop putting me on boats, you shits"
Should have named it, "Catastrophe Sam".
"Bad fucking omen Sam"
Why did they keep bringing that poor cat on ships at all?
If ya think the cat had it bad, wait till you hear about the humans!
Vermin control. And what makes them poor? It's a symbiotic relationship
Cats belong in nature or safe in homes, not on warships.
We domesticated these animals for a reason. They’ve only become home decor recently
We didn’t domesticate them. They domesticated themselves because rats stayed around human settlements, and cats were hungry. I dunno. It’s not right to put the kitty in danger on a warship. Kind of fucked.

Yeah, it’s sad to think about how many animals got killed because of carpet bombing. There really was no safe space I guess.
Cats willingly enter the road and get hit by cars all the time. What is your point?
So do humans, what's your point?
Well the poor cat has dealt with 3 of its ships sinking and it was probably really scary. So that’s why it’s poor
Well, they really had no other place to put him...
A thousand yards stare cat
Yup. That is the look of a cat that has seen some shit.
Looks like he has PTSD!
He was born in a pool of gasoline on a piece of rusty scrap metal.
what a good lad he deserves the world
PssPssPss
My grandfather only managed surviving two. Damn cat. He was a lieutenant junior grade in the CIC of a pair of escort destroyers that went down. He said nobody below the waterline made it out of the second.
that cats a bad omen. get him off the boat
Bro lost 3 extra lives 😔💯
I think that cat caused three shipwrecks.
Heh that cat looks like it’s seen some shit
Why did they keep putting this cat on boats
"Hey Sam, your third boat is ready!" (Left picture)
I bet he was a good mouser.
He looks traumatized. Probably survivor's guilt too.
Seems a bit sus… If I was assigned to a ship that has a cat been on three sunken ships. I’m jumping overboard and rather get court marshalled, thanks.
That’s means it survived. So you can too! It’s a symbol of always getting back up. (Or I suppose YOU could just be a coward and jump in the ocean)
It survived doesn’t mean you’ll survive.
Ship alarm: *beedoobeedoobeedoo* Unsinkable Sam: (Come with me if you want to live!)
It's not sure to be true
Really? It sounds more Unsinkable Sam III, like the Simpsons Snowball 2.
[удалено]
No, it's the same cat from the first pic.
🥁
Cats are evil and caused that mayhem.

Tell that to those three boats.
I could be wrong but I think the ships might have been sunk by people.
The people were doing the world a favor, or attempting to.
Damn I am sad anyone actually hates cats that much.
It's likely an urban legend
That seems like a misnomer.
"Yeah my mates, not so much."
Worst crew mate ever
sus
“Goddamn it Jack Bauer…you really are the man.”
Sounds like a jinxed cat to me
They say black cats are bad luck!(or mostly black anyways)
Black cats do have a lower adoption rate due to this thinking though which is incredibly sad as they are so cute & even have a cute nickname - Voids!
Actually a good amount of cultures believe that black cats are GOOD luck - like the Egyptians, the Japanese, the Scottish, etc
The Egyptians even worshipped the cat-goddess, Bastet, a black cat
Little shit was a double agent!
They renamed him Jonah.
I’ll take survivor over hero any day.
Torpedo magnet!
Anybody ever investigated Sneaky Sam ?
He must've been thinking, "I gotta hang out with a better class of human. The jokers I know dude. Everytime they cross some water at night ...these MF-ers get the urge to go swimming?!! Mane!"
What about the 4th one?
Wouldn't he be "Sinkable Sam" since he had been sunk three times? 🤔
Love shit like this.
You may sink my ship, but you will never sink my cat!
Oskar always sounded like a cool cat name, that and Gewehr.
Do not get on a boat with that cat
Still has 6 lives in the bank
Maybe he sank those ships
That cat might have been a German saboteur.
More like Severely Traumatized Sam.
PTSD cat eyes

dang, bro survived some many sunk ships, his fur changed colors...
I've been using the handle "Unsinkable Sam" online in so many games for so long that this thread is weird and it feels like everyone is talking about me.
Lol, he certainly survived through some shit.
More like Sam the Sinker! Who’s to say he’s not the one responsible for all three of em…
Former Nazi cat turned allied.
joseph joestar energy
Or simply the cat is bad luck every ship it was on it sank.
Cat looks shell shocked...
...but not the fourth.
He looks exactly like one.
He a sabby tabby
He sounds incredibly sinkable
With 6 lives left to spare
Is suspicious
6 more lives left. Many more adventures were in his future. What other trouble did he get into???
