Drach, You are given command of the Royal Navy just after First London Treaty and suspect war is about a decade away. Assuming the Treasury Mandarins have been victims of a highly localised meteor strike, what would your ideal fleet be for WW2 and what changes to Second London Treaty would you push for to achieve it?

how did incidents like Action of August 9th in 1780 (AKA when Santisima Trinadad and friends made an utter laughing stock out of the East India Trading Company) have an impact on their reputation in the Colonies? did word ever reach India? How did people who'd been on the wrong side of the company around the world react to this humiliation against the company?

How wrong he was, everybody in Göteborg that could be out on the water were there, about 10.000 small and big boats greeted her, and on the cliffs along Göta Älv and along the Göteborg harbor there were some 200.000 people greeting her! On the boat was the prime minister of China and the Swedish King and Queen. A truly historical day.

What a lovely old lady. You can see why sailors prefered working for the Company rather than the Navy.

@Vonstab 22 дня назад

Well in Sweden the bulk of the sailors in the navy did not have much choice as they were semi-conscripted through the Allotment system used by both the army and the navy. In peace time the service was also not that ardous as the bulk only served for 6 months every 3 years. The actual professional sailors were a minority and were mostly merchant marine sailors recruited with pretty favourable conditions for 18th Century military service. (They go a years pay from the navy but only had to serve for 6 months every year.)

Similar with the SS John W Brown. Liberty ship that operates out of Baltimore. Because she does cruises, she's technically certified as a cruise ship which makes her something like the largest cruise ship based on the US East Coast. Also in part because most actual cruise ships are based where it's convenient.

@MinnaMe01 22 дня назад

Haha only thing I can correct is that the little sailing boat was rescued in the English Channel, not Biscaya😂 we were just a day or two from Jersey I was on watch at the time, we had been sailing (engine off) but then got the mayday call so we had to quickly clew up the sails and go by engine towards the little one. Ended up as an extra helmsman (usually we have two, can have up to four if you need extra muscle like in heavy weather or strong currents) so I didn’t really see the actual rescue, but they were bobbing behind us until the next morning when we dropped them off by the French coast to a coast guard I think

@kennethdeanmiller7324 16 дней назад

What I like about this ship is getting to actually see a sailing vessel that wasn't made to be a war ship but made for hauling goods from one place to another. And even though it does have cannons to protect the ship against pirates, it still has plenty of room for cargo as well. But also the fact that it does actually sail is really cool as well. And the way the steering wheel is positioned an opposing ship can't snipe off the operator of the steering wheel.

@bholdr----0 22 дня назад

I'm fascinated and impressed by how mariners used to do very complex and complicated operations like stepping a mast, moving very heavy items (guns, etc), and launching and recovering the ship's boats... There were several hints in this vid as to how such evolutions were accomplished during the age of sail, the spars used as davits/cranes for the boats, the upper masts alongside the lower ones, etc- I would really like a vid or three about how such things were done without modern advantages- especially a vid of such if any is available... Setting and furling a sail is impressive enough, but, stepping a mast (with 'shears', or 'getting the new mast in by the old' is just nearly incredible andd is something i would like to have covered. (Especially considering the materials that they had access to at the time- wood, hemp, iron...) Anyhow, that's one of the things that occurred to me throughout this (as usual) excellent vid! Cheers!

@krockpotbroccoli65 22 дня назад

There's old wooden ships all over the place. Go on Google maps, zoom in on your local port docks and you'll usually quite quickly find at least an old schooner. A lot of them are open for tours and the ones that are still seaworthy might even do charter sailing.

@robertf3479 22 дня назад

Wow! An absolutely fascinating look at this ship Drach. We've seen a lot of the preserved and "replica" warships, but this look at this "replica" Indiaman has whetted my appetite so much that I wish I could travel to Sweden and spend a day looking at everything. This presentation is unique as we get to see how "things fit together" and work that you normally don't get to see in your typical museum ship, i.e. with her topmasts sent down and yards stowed (one at least stowed.) We are even shown a rigged out "boat boom" with one of the ship's boats riding to it, again something not normally seen even on "active" museum ships. She is beautiful and is obviously being taken care of by true seamen. At a guess (I haven't looked her up on-line ... yet) I would assume this replica has a diesel engine and propellor, diesel generator for "hotel" services, radar (I spotted a camouflaged antenna mounted on the foremast fighting top,) radio, satellite communications and so forth as required by 20th / 21st century safety regulations.

@janerkenbrack3373 15 дней назад

Old lines would be used aboard ship. New lines would be used for heavy weather, and slightly older ones for sailing in tropical waters. After they lost their usefulness for that, the yarns would be separated and used for lashings, and bucket handles, and then after that the would be separated and used as oakum for caulking. Nothing was wasted aboard ship.

Severin and his crew sailed the dhow from Yemen to Shanghai, and on their way they came to the assistance of Vietnamese “boat people” (this was in the late 70’s), who had some problems aboard their vessel. Another example of “the past” coming to the aid of “the present”.

Being put into ordinary only applies to warships. Merchantmen were/are laid up when not in use. Keeping warships in commission was/is extremely expensive and because most countries are mostly not at war most sailing warships spent most of their lives not in commission with just a few men, for a large ship a few dozen men, on board for maintenance. I was once standing in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam looking at the tafferal of the Royal George when an Englishman nearby muttered 'We need to get that back'. The ship was taken by the Dutch fleet from the Medway in 1667 where it had been put into ordinary because King Charles II had run out of money during a war with the Dutch. The ship was too large for the Dutch naval ports and demolished. The tafferal is the only part still existing.

The main use of those marlinspikes was to aid in splicing lines, not for tightening or loosening the lay of ropes. (One can unwind ropes perfectly easily by hand, without the use of any tools.)

As Drach was forward, below decks, and we saw those huge coils of rope below the bench, i was imagining how much physical labor it would take to get that coil above and re-laid where it needs to be. Kudos to the crew who work this beautiful piece of living history. One question: does the Ship have a special storage room for Lingonberry jam? Sort of like a French ship's wine cellar. 😅

I hope you get to visit L'Hermione in La Rochelle as well at some point, don't know if she actively sails but she still did until a few years ago.

You know when I think of replica sailing ships you would usually think of England because of its naval heritage empire and naval battles but Sweden they can be pretty full of surprises and it can be pretty well proud of it... Now this has piqued my curiosity to learn more about Sweden's naval heritage.. keep up the good work..
