@@GoldandGunpowder I know, it was about Man o Wars and frigates. Can you do a vid on 17th and early 18th century era ship of the lines? I normally get high by reading about 1776-1815 era naval history but Pirate era ship of the lines would be cool like HMS Sovereign of the Seas
@@thedictationofallah Believe he said he wouldn't do one on this channel since it is unrelated to pirate lore. Most pirates were in sloops or similar ships. A slower ship would likely have been stripped out and the excess sold for a profit and if too big it was likely to be beached for fortification as he has previously mentioned in stories of various pirates.
@@CosplayZine The largest pirate ship was Olivier Levassuer's 70 gunner I think, he had a deleted video on that guy. But it would be cool to learn about early era ships of the line
I'm working on a tabletop rpg campaign where my players will be on ships for the most part, this serves as such a wonderful source as I am a stickler for nautical acuracies. As always, thank you for amazing content
I'm reading Master and Commander now and this video is the best supplement I've found. I literally bought reference books that don't break things down as well. Thank you! (Off to watch the rigging vid!)
Yet another well-produced video! Vital information for those new to sailing and ships. It's a specialized vocabulary, like any profession has, and it's that vocabulary that adds to the romance of the subject. After all, when they do medical shows, the actors throw around all sorts of cool medical terms (to those who actually know something about medicine, it's laughably wrong most of the time). I would strongly reccomend your video on rigging, as this is a hugely complicated subject, and the rather brief shots the audience gets in movies just appears to be a bunch of ropes running all over the place. You're well on your way to being the premier channel on all things piratical. When you get on the water with a ship and crew, let me know, I'll sign the Articles!
great video and super informative! just one minor correction: veering is specifically when the wind shifts aft towards the stern, while hauling is when the wind shifts forward towards the bow.
I'd love this video in a longer form with the entomology of each word discussed more in depth, learning why it was called the "Lee" and "Leeside" would make it much easier to remember, just incase there's ever a remake part 3 some day!
Funny people like to call the stern the ship's buttocks, we know, but the joke cannot be more accurate when you realise that the stern has a poop deck (In most cases), and firing cannonballs and raking the stern was the most "dangerous" attack/manoeuvre done in a battle.
I was looking forward to this and I was not disappointed. ☺ Only thing I would maybe change is the title - as you've mentioned in this and many of your other videos, this is not really the kind of ship pirates used. Maybe this would be a "Pirate Era Ship" instead..? 🤔
Hi I love your channel. Do you think you can make a video about games or maybe even sports pirates played in their spare time? Or like how they dealed with temperature?
What is your opinion on SandRhoman History? At the very least, I don't think her appeared on your "list of grudges" and his battle videos are very detailed. Recently, he's started doing videos that crossing into your content. Any chances of you doing a collab at some point?
in Dutch Dutch "poep" (pronounced the same as poop or poupe) means excrement and the verb "poepen" means "taking a shit"... in Belgian Dutch "Poep" means butt, and the verb "poepen" means "to F* " a funny difference
