VIDEO CORRECTIONS: Feel free to add your knowledge to this comment thread. Remember, teaching others your precious knowledge is a lovely thing and is best done with patience, and not excess sharpness. Some viewers have already pointed out that: - "battleship" is a modern term not applicable to old ships like this. - The boat is a "Pinnace", not pinnacle - Proper old English terms like fo'c'sle (forecastle), which we are aware of but which I omitted in the final script. - The Grand Magazine had light rooms nearby as well, like the hanging magazines. That is, they had separate rooms with lanterns behind glass for protection. - Apparently the yard isn't in the correct spot when hoisted, but I'll be damned if I could find info on just how that should have been situated when I was animating it! - The audio isn't the greatest. I know. I was being lazy, and I'll do better next time and give myself the proper time to get it right. I just dislike that part of the project. I've got a proper setup though, it's not my gear. Classic.

from user "edl617": Not a battleship. It’s a Ship of the Line. The Battleline which Is made of of ships of the line. The British Royal Navy rated ships of the line. 6th rate, 5th rate, 4th rate, 3rd Rate, 2nd Rate, and 1st Rate like the HMS Victoria. British Frigates had between 28 to 40 guns, then ships of the line 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 guns

When I was a kid, I built a plastic model of the Mayflower, one of the ships that brought the Pilgrims to America. You don't know just how many ropes and lines there are until you build a ship, whether it's an accurate model or a real ship. My dad never needed to help with any of my modelling because he and my mother made sure that each of us kids learned early how to read and follow an assembly guide. Dad did help me when it came time to mix paint colors for small one-off batches so that I didn't have to buy a whole bottle of paint for each of the very minor colors in any given model, only to use just a few drops for a part that was supposed to look like oak, or another part that was supposed to look like an off-white railing or something. LOL, all on my paperboy income, hehe! Oak is a tan color, while Mahogany is a darker brown. Once you know how to make the off-colors from your bottles of common colors, that gives you the real power of creativity. Today there's probably an app for that, right?

Not quite the appropriate documentary to understand how a ship of that category was (as it lacks A LOT of things compared to this), but still excellent to see and understand the basics of any ship of the era.
This is an amazing video. I think I learned more from this video than from anything else that I have ever watched on KZread. Those ships were so wonderfully designed with not a foot of wasted space. It's hard to believe that something like that could be engineered over 200 years ago. Thanks again for your hard work in creating this excellent video.

When it comes to warships, a phrase comes in mind, the more things change, the more they stay the same, sure in modern warships we have dedicated crew quarters, kitchens and such but a bilge pump and a water condenser and such as well as ammo storage still stays the same. Plus a random tidbit, despite the invention of brass cartridges when steel hull ships are being built, the cannon shells were dropped and instead are loaded via a block or sack of gunpowder, or another way. However the same aspect that still stays the same, despite materials and tech that changed, the idea and lay outs are still beyond similar.

I have been on HMS Victory twice. I was in awe and emotional to be on the one of our great historical icons. She is still a commisioned ship and still part of the Royal Navy. She was launched 7 May 1765. 258 years old. I asked the guide if they knew which canons had been use at Trafalgar. But because when ships came back to port, all the cannons were taken off for refurbishment. They were then distrubuted to other ships when they were needed. He took me over to one cannon, which they knew for deffinate had been used at Trafalagar. It was an odd feeling. Great day out to the Royal Naval dockyard. HMS Victory had been on my bucket list for years. Then saw her twice in twelve months.

Did you get to walk around Portsmouth old city ? All the roadside bollards are actually cannons set up on end. Once they became obsolete they were used by the city council. The remains of the city walls are worth seeing too. Most of the inland side has been removed but the seaward side is still pretty much intact as are older defences such as Henry VIII's tower. There are also plaques marking such events as the departure point for the original settlers who went to found the Roanoak settlement, the first fleet going to Australia, as well as many other similar events.

You just never know when an old sailer is pulling your leg. No one knows which of the few remaining real canons were at Trafalgar. Most are wood. The decks won't take the weight. Most of the ship isn't original. It's a Trigger's Broom. But a fabulous experience just th same.
We actually tend to forget that those ships were engineering marvels. It is crazy to see the amount of work that went into that, and the end result was just astounding. So cool to actually see a ship layer by layer and understand the science behind it.

The copper hull plating was mainly a defence against the dreaded 'toredo worm'. The salt water equivalent of wood worm. It could literally eat away the lower hull causing the ship to sink without warning. It also discouraged other marine growths like barnacles and similar, which slowed the ship down. The first copper plates were fixed with iron nails. But immersed in acidic salt water it formed a simple battery with the copper. Causing the iron to both rust and be eaten away. And the copper plates all fell off. Later fixings used copper rivets.

Like in groynes to keep rivers from miandering in corners and near sluice gates or even just to provide support to other wooden structures in case of collision when docking near them minimalising damaga to ships, just to name a few. The thing with proper wood you have to deal with mostly has to do with oxidation. The layer that might be both in and out of the water at certain times. This can be managed by regulating the water level and treating and of course properly maintaining those structures. Here in the Netherlands, river sluice gates are made of out wood some of the time to this day. I've personally even visited a company that made one for a sluice in Zaandam once some years ago. I have pictures somewhere, but they were something like 10 meters or 30 feet in height. It's still something reliable as a material, similar to steel depending on the application. Just like wood, steel needs to be treated and maintened properly. It's not a one for all purposes wonder-material. On top of that, determining the strength on the characteristics of some wooden structure is not that different from the difficulty the strength of pouring, casting, soldering, welding etc would be. It takes knowledge and tools either way. Hope this gave you some insight. If you really want to dive deep, look up some stuff about material mechanics. :)

I'm currently reading a series of novels on the British Navy at this time and one of the things the author noted that none of the many other authors of this topic never mentioned that was really significant was that if you are on the second gun level or the center gun deck you have many canons firing over you, under you and all around you. I had to be deafening and it would rock you to your core, it would shake your bones. Also, although there are open gun ports, most of that canon smoke would still be trapped in there with you. It would be very hard to breath. I would love to see a modern version of Nelson's story in a series that makes effective use of modern-day special effects to showcase that environment. That would be a truly awesome spectacle for any mini-series - Alexandia, Copenhagen and Trafalgar all of them were awesome victories and simply moving these vessels in concert is extraordinarily difficult. To sail into another countries port with your fleet and attack their fleet or to split you line of battle in the face of another fleet would take enormous coordination and skill. And to be able to effectively employ weapons while doing all that with only sails for power and signal flags for communication was simply genius. The enormity of the genius of the British Navy at that time cannot be understated and honestly, it's a story that really needs to be told. I know there is some older movies on this topic, but they are not even close to realistic in showing the skill, the horrific conditions, the sacrifice and valor of these brave men. With all the garbage in the movies nowadays I think a historical epic of that magnitude is long overdue. And Nelson's personal story and love life are also rather interesting as a side note. I remember standing in Trafalgar Square many years ago looking up to the top of that column at Nelson's statue and thinking, this is so great, really great, but it's just not enough for that great man nor for the magnificent British Navy.
Ok, so this is completely mind-blowing. The level of engineering that goes into building one of these things is simply amazing. So incredibly complex!

Ships are not my main point of interest, but I gave it a try. As an engineer I loved the technical details and the calm presentation which allowed me to appreciate the giant amount of thought and hundrets of years of engineering experiene that went into these ships. Thank you for this nice unagitated video that made my day already much better. Maybe, you created a Ship-Fan, because now I want to know more 🙂
Regarding the anchors: Simply raising the anchors was comparably easy to do. Problems started when you wanted to leave an anchorage under adverse wind-conditions. In this case you had to raise on anchor, load it onto the launch and row the launch out to sea. There you dropped the anchor from the launch and allowed it to sink to the bottom. Now you hauled in the anchor you just dropped, while carefully allowing the other anchorcable to go slack. That way you dragged your ship out to sea. You now used the launch to raise the original anchor, move it even further out to sea, drop it and start the whole process anew until you could safely raise sails. This process was called 'warping' and was several hours of gruesome labour. Warp-speed was neither fast nor pleasant back in the days.
