Thank you so much for making this series of videos on the evolution of ship design. This was one of my wish list items I listed in a previous comment. I appreciate you mentioning Mathew Baker's famous drawing of a mackerel overlaying a 17th century galleon. I also like the way that you incorporated logarithms and geometry in your discussion of ship design below the waterline. I'm eagerly anticipating the next video of this series. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Thank you very much indeed for the kind words! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. It is an Elizabethan period galleon, however, not a 17th c ship. Barker argued that the famous illustration of the galleon with the sail plan is actually a collation from different drawings and do not represent one and the same ship. He had no comment on the mackerel though.
Excellent! Looking forward to part 2!!

Hmmm…. The cognac part at least sounds like a wonderfully good idea! That’s how I shall end the day today

Great content! Definitely "your stuff"! I like the way you tie shipbuilding with other intellectual gains- logarithms- from people all over the European and Asian worlds.

Thank you for the kind words. The truth is the matter is that things are and always have been intertwined. There always is a context to everything, including shipbuilding
Thank you Dr. Batchvarov I am very much looking forward to part 2

Intrigued to see the next part! Not for the nitpicking, but trying to understand more: from your knowledge, how big was the gap between the "best engineering minds of the naval architecture" and "your average shipwright" at that period? Can we safely assume that relatively advanced treatises were read and widely adopted in the industry, or were they dismissed as a "mumbo-jumbo of some academic nerds who are out of touch"?

This actually is an excellent and to the point question. We don’t have enough direct evidence to be certain. The evidence is partially in the treatises themselves and partially in the archaeological evidence. None of the treatises claim that they are offering a new concept. All argue that their details (like which function, logarithm) is best suited for specific type of ship. This implies that the general concept and approach are widely known and used. Ergo, at least large yards certainly were aware of them and using them. Smaller yards with coastal clients, may have used simplified versions with a cookbook recipe approach rather than complete understanding of why and how. To wit., Bushnell’s treatise. He tells carpenters how to mould one specific type and size of ship that he thinks is most useful for the American colonies. Years ago I had A Conversation with a 5th generation wooden shipbuilder in Sozopol. He was using his grandfather’s moulds. When asked how were they produced, he told me they were inherited and copied from his father. When I pushed him further on the subject asking how his great-great grandfather would have produced them, he got frustrated and unable to answer beyond “well, he got them from his master shipwright”. He could use the moulds but could not and did not understand how they were developed in the first place. Then there is archaeology. Sea Venture most definitely matches treatises, as Orof Adams found out.

My understanding of cold molding is somewhat different. I am under the impression that “molding “ meant more like casting than the mold of a frame. Cold molded hulls being made of alternating diagonally strips of wood glued together effectively making a bespoke ,if you will, plywood monocoque hull some times without frames at all.

You are mixing “cold-molding” with “whole moulding”. The one is a modern boatbuilding technique; the other- a shape or design technique that is attested by archaeology since at least the 11th c AD and likely much earlier.

My apologies. I completely misheard you. We were steaming off to a ship job. Over the sound of the engines , I could barely hear what you were saying and the auto captions wrote it as “CO molding” . Sorry. When did half modeling become an accepted design tool?
Thankyou

This is a little different from what I was taught in photo school... Have you ever seen a static advertisement or a film? If the picture is static, you will turn off the video after 2 minutes of viewing or fall asleep. This is just the psychology of the human brain, nothing more!
