Can I Successfully Locate This 1920's Traveller? [My Toughest Geo Detective Yet]
*proper thumbnail coming tomorrow*
Evening Patreons! Here's an early treat for you all to enjoy.
Geo Detective is back and it is most certainly with a bang.
This was by far by toughest challenge yet. It's always automatically harder when the photo was taken 100 years ago because we don't know how much things have changed, but this one really did throw more than a few spanners.
I'd only been defeated once before going into this one, and even that one was within 5 miles. Could we see my first failure here? Sit back, relax, watch this rollercoaster of a journey unfold and you will find out.
PS. Apologies for taking so long with this one. Had lots of life stuff going on this summer to accompany this gruelling challenge. It won't happen again!

https://london.metro-memory.com Thought you might like this game Tom
I was pretty convinced it was Valetta until the end of the video. There's a shipwreck in the harbour the HMS Maori and everything.
You could have saved a lot of time by looking at his hat. Someone so properly dressed as him would never wear a tropical hat in a non tropical place like Europe, Anyways great detecting!
I never though of that!
Incredible sleuthing work!!! I think the photo location was Fort Islet Park as the dock was curved in the photo. Still fantastic job done either way.
I’m so glad GeoDetective is back, I absolutely adore it. I can’t help thinking the angling of where you put the man down was a bit off. I mean, I don’t blame you, it was clearly a pain in the arse to find. I’m just not sure it lined up well in the end, the guy’s sitting on a really curved edge and you placed it on a poker straight one. There was a circled area sort of in the water/in the bay that I think was more like it. Nevertheless a terrific effort and video. Long live the Geo Detective series! 🤍
I thought that as soon as I watched it back but it was too late to change it then! You're spot on!
Tom, watching your struggle and rant about the roof shape terminology was absolutely brilliant! Thank you for suffering for the cause and producing great entertainment with it!
Not only is it hard to do this with a current photo, but finding the location with a photo from 100 years ago in a country that has drastically changed is just insane. Get in Tom!
Great vid Tom I honestly do not know how you have the patience to scour through that many locations, hats off to you good sir 👌
Tom, these videos are so entertaining. Thanks for keeping this series alive :)
“It wont happen again”. sure it can Tom, you just got married and before that u did a straight line, no roads, ran in the ice, traveled america. Thank you for the content and glad you’re back!
It’s been a full on year hasn’t it!
Hell yeah! Im excited to watch that one 😁
