If I had one week to live I would listen to this narrator because he makes every minute seem like a life time

I've been working on HMS Warrior for nearly 32 years now, both full time as a member of the ship's security, and after retiring, as a volunteer guide.

I went on this ship last weekend for a wedding,it was closed off for the wedding and you could go basically everywhere on the boat!You could see all the old engines it was one of the best weddings I have ever went to

Wow, what a stepup from the HMS Victory, the Warrior must have been a beast for its day!

Went to see H.M.S. Victory (a must see) and found Warrior next door and instantly became my all time favorite museum ship

Just set the video-speed to 1.25 if you don't want to fall asleep - that sounds really good!

1.5 works better. Even 2x.. Though he sounds like he's had a couple espressos, or like he just got a call from his girlfriend; saying her parents left the house for a few hours.

0.5 speed if you want it narrated by an unhappy drunk.

A beautifull ship. It gets better each time I visited it. The beginning of this script could be applied to Dreadnought too "at a stroke all other ships were made obsolite" :)

Thanks for making this video!

So well done. It’s funny to think Sovereign of the Seas could have held its own at trafalgar, but Warrior to Dreadnought a big investment only bought a few years of technology. Almost obsolete as she slid down the ways.

yea, i say it all the time, ppl dont see it. Welding came around 1915-20.. wtf? and material of warrior is incredible... unknown. The hull is very very old one....

The narrator evidently went to the Winston Churchill School of Narration lol .

I too was thinking how he sounded like Winston Churchill!

Yegods. It sounds like Robin Leach munched a disco-biscuit.......

Hows the microphone taste?

The Victorian officers had to be outstandingly brave to con the ship in battle!!

This is what happens when you give your narrator quaaludes.

Would have been interesting to see it take on the Monitor class of the Union.

HMS Warrior isn't an ironclad- it's a fully iron ship.

Beautiful ship. I wish America had had the foresight to save a couple examples of the Civil War ironclads, like a Union Monitor or one of the Confederate casemate types.

Iron cads were as described! They were wooden ships clad WITH IRON! HMS warrior was the first truly iron ship!

i wanted to see how the removable propeller also vision of the prop i understand it was a 2 blade was put in place and also how the smoke stacks were deployed ....very dissapointed on that

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Fascinating ship it must have been amazing to the men that crewed her. Does anybody know how they dressed at this time, Were there still men working in bear feet?

"Were there still men working in bear feet?" No. That would have been grizzly.

If not for the narrator this would be great.

is this a Total war Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai reference

they are not Lee-Enfield rifles....they are 1858 Enfield sea service rifles, of .577 calibre..Lee-Enfield rifles did not come into use until the 1890's, the legendary Lee-Enfield .303 rifle of World War I and World War II fame, first entered service in 1895.... ............HMS Warrior was never ever classified as a battleship, her official designation when she entered service was "40-gun screw ship(Iron)" because technically, having just one gun-deck, she was a frigate......however, the Admiralty manning regulations only allowed for a frigate to have a maximum complement of 380, which was nowhere near enough for a ship the size of HMS Warrior, so she was given the unusual classification in order to allow the necessary complement, which was 705 officers and men, she can be viewed as a battleship though, despite her official classification, because although just having a single gun-deck, she could outgun any other warship afloat at the time, and was the single most powerful warship in the world, which I suppose is the very definition of the battleship..................Also, technically speaking HMS Warrior is not an ironclad, since to be an ironclad ship the hull must be of wood construction that is clad in iron armour.....HMS Warrior's hull is entirely constructed of wrought iron, armoured with 22.5" of armour comprising 4.5" iron plates, backed by 18" of teak acting as a shock absorber.....the armour alone weighs 1500 tons, thus accounting for approx one sixth of the entire weight of the ship....

The French ship Gloire was the first ironclad ship

The Warrior was all iron, not cladded. It was seagoing, unlike US ironclads. It was launched in 1861.

The hull was iron, then layers of wood, then the visible armour plate. The wood was used as it was thought at the time that it would help absorb some of the impact of any shells hitting the armour plate above.

The warrior isn't "ironclad" it's the first iron warship!

What a BEAUTIFUL SHIP ! And WHAT a CRAP COMMENTARY...

Excellent video, but extremely monotonous dialogue. Video should be redone with more active voice over.

The narration is a bit, shall we say, over the top.

In fact she was not the first ironclad warship. That honor goes to the French Gloire. Warrior was actually built to counter and exceed the Gloire`so capabilities. Warrior was also much better looking.

Warrior is NOT an ironclad.............The word Ironclad means "clad in iron" usually a wooden hull clad in iron..Warrior is a warship built of iron, so she most certainly is not an "ironclad". She is an iron hulled, armoured warship.
