I was wondering if you could do a video covering the harrying of the north? It’s such an important yet forgotten part of English history, northern England still hasn’t recovered nearly 1000 years later, and it’s a big reason why the north-south divide is even a thing.

We have a video covering the Harrying of the North on our channel! kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqd_sNBmlKaxhKg.html

i grew up in Portsmouth, nothing feels like home quite like HMS Victory

Every history video feels like a window into the past, bringing ancient tales to life

Long videos is what makes You Tube the best of all platforms. Thank you history hit.

I have served in the navy and lived my life on the sea, literally. Personally I have a link to Robert Blake, who is always forgotten about and who Nelson credits his abilities to. I am trying to find the resting place of the first St George (1622) which was where Blake died on in 1657 after smashing the Dutch and Spanish. It was sunk as a hulk off Sheerness in 1699 and planning to cross the world to find it. The RN and RN museums have no knowledge of where it is. Blake was interred in Westminster after a state funeral yet is pretty much forgotten. The memory of General at sea (Admiral) Robert Blake is kept alive by very few. Great telling of Nelson though.

Historical painters were very generous with the headroom on the gundeck. Nobody has to stoop!

Marvellous Post, thank you.

Love it! Thanks!

more than 3 hours of pure pleasure.

Great series. Really good to see them collated into one like this. Nice one team! 🌟👍

I love all the artwork 😍

I appreaciate that.

Thank you.

How did you guys get these accurate sources and detail?

its hard to comprend how little life was valued in these wars

I noticed a rifle in the first class cabin on the wall the lower bunk on the Great Britain. Was that a decoration or did the cabins come with a working rifle and, if so, why? Otherwise, love all the vids I've seen so far. Thank you!! Cheers!!

I've always found it odd that with their state of engineering, that they never developed a "manual propeller" for times when there was no wind? Oars worked for Vikings & Romans, etc but these ships were much bigger. I think that they could've developed a manual means of propulsion during those times....would've been a game changer for sure!

Some frigates and other smaller ships were equipped with sweeps that would help maneuver and position the ship when there was not enough air, this was not a form of propulsion. Besides actually towing the ship using the ship's rowboats there are no other options available. However, other propulsion methods would not be invented until steam power was harnessed and later the combustion engine was invented.

The VOC ship Batavia's story needs to be told.

Black Pearl better be on here

Does anyone else feel like they were born in the wrong era.

​@KungKarl one ship, with a short segment at the very end is just an outlier. It's a very misleading title. This is a documentary on mostly on English ships and I bet most folks outside of the UK wouldn't considering most of these "the most famous"

The most famous ship when the British empire was at its peak... The biggest in the world... I think the title is fitting

Why is there German music in the background?

The passengers in steerage, would they be able to fish for their food? Like if a guy brought his pole along would he be allowed to fish or would that be up to the captain?

Yes britain was strong and yet the lost of the dutchies

Funny how the most famous ships in History are all british.

Indeed. Its like this with all their videos: "most famous something" and its allways british or in britain. The other day I watched "Hadrian's Wall: The Final Frontier Of The Ancient Roman Empire", and its was interesting, but the final frontier in britain? Makes it sound like the mighty roman empire was brought to a halt by scottish people alone xD
