    Wait... Did he just say that HMS Victory served the French and Spanish navies???
  • @paul-we2gf
    HMS Victory fought French and Spanish fleets. It is vital to get the facts correct

    And I always had a passion for the old schooners. Windjammers.

    I didn't know about the Castle ships learn something new every day.
  • @nisselarson3227
    Oh, I never realized I sailed that particular U.S.S. Constitution into a huge skyscraper.
  • @iteerrex8166
    I thought you had missed the castle ships, and then there it was in number one.
  • I loved living on a houseboat in California on the Sacramento river, and the people who "boat" are incredibly friendly and kind. I have wanted to live on a boat on the Gulf of Mexico but the hurricanes are sure to hit every year, so it's better not to, even when a hurricane is hitting Louisiana we get very high tides that cause a lot of damage.

    Also HMS PICKLE (reconstructed) Sha is docked in HULL,England still sailing today..owned by Captain Mal Nicholson. Brilliant little vessel. I also sailed around the South Coast of England Taking tours around her in various ports one being Portsmouth. .She is amazing. Miss her enormously ❤

    No mention of HMS TRINCOMALEE The last ship Nelson had commissioned before he died. She has 66% original malabar teak and is still docked in Hartlepool uk NMRN England . She is a definite must see vessel. Equipped with traditional street all around her. With live demonstrations on the Dock.Brilliant to watch .As I once was a tour guide around her. Miss her greatly. ❤
  • Santa Maria was named after 1 of 9 islands of the Azores where Columbus left from on the first voyage to new world. Nina was named after Columbuses oldest sister who took care of him after his mother died in Portugal as a young boy, the Pinta is up for debate but I believe it was because no women were allowed on these types of expeditions so they called one of the 3 ships the Pinta ( a nick name for vagina by Portuguese ) all these men for months even years at sea with out female companionship they at least had a Pinta to look at as not to forget what was waiting for them on land some where hahaha , sure why not I've heard worse explanations :))) . Cuba was also named after Columbuses birth place a town in Portugal & before the island of Cuba was named there was only that town with the name Cuba not a coincidence I don't think & for the last time Columbus was not Spanish or Italian but yes a Portuguese who probably had Templar connections & not just to the king of Portugal. And by the way why isn't the most powerful battled ship in history of the time not on this video?? , yes I'm speaking of the Portuguese Man of War , first sail ship to employ canons, big & small, the 1st true destroyer in history with over 400 canon that the other countries copied like many other things Portuguese to be copied, they even named a very dangerous jellyfish (man of war) after the ship.... Portugal very underrated in many things the more I look back into our human history,, such a shame.

    The Ming Dynasty Chinese Treasure ships had a max length of 80 feet, not 400 feet, and weren't ocean-going. They had to go along shores and if the wind picked up, had to go in safe harbors. They were incredibly primitive for their time.
