In 1812 Canada had three first rate ships of the line with 112 guns and the third slated for 120 guns. The HMS St. Lawrence, HMS Wolfe and HMS Canada built for the war with the US. They were built in Kingston, On.

EXCELLENT Thanks you my friend...... Old F-4 Phantom ll jet fighter pilot Shoe🇺🇸

What is the back of the ship where the Captain's quarters called where all the windows are ?? It's not the fantail is it ??

Top tip: you can improve the narration by increasing the playback speed to 1.25 😉

Still not fast enough, narratives for this type of documentaries should move at a good clip in order to keep the attention of the audience

@@lexus5413 Well, you can always move to 1.5x 😉

The Royal Charles at the time of her capture was not commissioned and as such was not a first rate ship of the line.

"The British never lost a first rate battleship" better check up on the history of the Royal Charles, her stern is to this day on display in the Neatherlands.....

Good remark, I should have been clearer maybe, but this video is entirely dedicated to the 18th century and during those 100 years the Royal Navy never lost in fact a first-rater

In modern usage of the rating system, the Royal Charles (80 guns on 2 decks) is a Third Rate. So if talking about what we would now consider a first rate, she doesn’t count

Man O' War, not called battleships.

@geraldmiller5260 The word battleship comes from Ships of the Line, it was also called a Line of battle, and any ship that was big enough to be a ship of the line, was also a, line of BATTLE SHIP. This is where the name Battleship comes from.
