Shoutout to Captain Kidd's "Adventure Galley," of of the last famous galleys (or maybe an "oared frigate") at the end of the 1600's. It was built for pirate hunting, but it was also his ship when he became a pirate.

It wasn't actually a galley. It was closer to a small frigate or xebec. The term "galley" was often used for just about any type of rowed vessel.

​@@PeterIsotalo still technically an oared frigate.

The firearms company Beretta got their start making cannons for Renaissance era galleys

Thank you so much for this video. I find that galleys of the early modern age are quite overlooked however these ships are not only fascinating but also beautiful

The Soprano gags are hilarious. brilliant and informative video like always my good man

Fascinating stuff... Living in the UK, my knowledge of things naval has been entirely coloured by the bigger, sail boats ... 👍

Yes, for me too. I attempted to learn more after getting the WRG rules for naval warfare in the 16th century, sometime in the 1980s, but couldn't find much information about it then.

I just discovered this channel. Very nice content man. Keep it up!

You’re vids are actually good! ❤

Good job, I hope the channel does well

This channel is a revelation. So cool. Thanks for all information and inspiration

Your videos are actually amazing!

You might only , as I write , have 455 views but imagine if 4 ( and a half ) town halls or history classes had called you to come for a lecture on galleys.You would think that was a success.I think it I a success too.

Can't wait 😄

Great intro dude!

Very informative!

Finally came across this channel. So the galleys were essentially the earliest form of the monitor?

"Napolitan noble" *shows Tony S.* 😂

There was a galley frigate in the 18th century called the USS South Carolina.

Good job.

Thank you.

Diu! 217 ships vs 17 portugal ships with "invitation war letter".

So it's a slow fall from the backbone of empires to rather useful skirmishers, so to speak.

why galilees carried cannon on the front? :D

I noticed a severe lack of memes in the "boring" part of the video, maybe that's the true reason behind it's boredom.

i dont add memes to these videos "just because" or to make them funny, i add memes if i come up with a good idea. i dont ever want to force it just to make it less "boring", which isn't the purpose of these videos anyway

TRIREMES ARE SIMILIAR TO GALLEYS BUT THEY AINT GALLEYS; GALLEYS EMERGE IN THE MIDDLEAGES

It's fairly obvious that the English Wikipedia article has been used as a source. Plenty of the images have been lifted straight from it. Definitely good to treat Wikipedia as a tertiary source but it is a fairly useful place to start one's research. And it's good to specify one's actual inspiration for content.

what? I haven't used wikipedia as a source? i've cited all my sources in the video description and you can either access those online on amazon kindle or borrow them in your local library to verify. as for the images they are taken from pinterest or google, so I'm sure that many of them are likewise used on wikipedia

@@balticempire7244 So you never once read the Wikipedia article about galleys before making this video?

GALLEYS were not around before the middleages. Sad, most of your videos seem to be well sources but this is just plain wrong. not every rowed warship is a galley, they weren't called that at the time and are not propperly called that in propper histeriography. galleys are even different in basic construction afaik from the ancient rowing crafts. the greeks for example first built te shell and then stiffened it out from the inside, while at least later galleys have an inner skeleton, afaik.
