Great video! However, you omitted to mention one important reason why composite ships were being constructed as late as the CUTTY SARK in 1869. Wooden ships could and very often did have their bottoms coated with sheets of copper to repel barnacles, shipworms and grasses, which would -- among other things--greatly reduce the speed of the ship. However, copper sheeting could not be applied to steel or iron vessels because electrolysis would quickly destroy the iron hull. So iron hulls were only optimal for ships sailing on relatively short routes such as from Great Britain to North America, where there were shipyards where marine growth could be frequently scraped off. Copper-plated wood was preferable for ships like the CUTTY SARK , sailing on the long voyage from Canton to London. Only later in the 19th century was bottom paint containing copper particles developed, which kept off the marine growth without turning the ship's hull into a giant battery and melting the iron away. This paved the way for near-universal adoption of iron and steel for ship's hulls.

My daughter and I both very much enjoyed this video. I would only take issue with one part: The battle between the Monitor and the Virginia. You indicate that the battle was not terribly consequential and that the Virginia got the better of the Monitor. While it is true that the Confederate ship got in one good hit her opponent, wounding the Monitor's captain and (very) temporarily knocking out the pilot house, the the Union ship dealt far more damage. Not only was the Virginia's smoke stack riddled with shot (which decreased her already glacial speed as she did not have the Monitor's forced draft), but she had suffered several plates cracked by shot and was taking on water through the bow after several unsuccessful attempts at ramming. At the end of the day, the Virginia retreated and that is why the battle was not inconsequential. On the previous day, the Virginia had destroyed one ship of the Northern blockade and forced another to surrender. If the Monitor had not arrived, it is likely that the Virginia would have continued to wreak havoc at the mouth of the Chesapeake, sinking ships, breaking the blockade, and allowing Southern cotton to be exchanged for European weapons. By ultimately forcing the Virginia to retreat, the Monitor won a strategic victory. The blockade was maintained and the war shortened as a result.

You can actually visit one of the last built and the last surviving wooden (3 mast) barque ship, Sigyn, that has sailed across the oceans, in Turku Finland. She made her last Atlantic crossings as a merchant ship in 1915 and 1916 and serves now as a museum ship.

The oldest merchant ship afloat is located in San Diego, California. The Star of India. An iron hull bark.

A very interesting video, adding some ships I did not realise played a part in the change over. One bit missing I did notice however that also slowed the change to iron and steel, was the problem with temperature, being that iron became brittle over time in cold waters significantly weakening it, this delayed the change until improved metals could be found to handle the colder seas.

You have forgotten one of the biggest advantage of iron framed composite ships that by the 1830s the availability of timber for ship building was becoming a problem particularly the large timbers needed for the frame and especially the timbers with the correct shape to form the knees. This may not have been a problem in the US but it was becoming cheaper to build an iron framed ship in British yards which were building about 1 ship in 2 worldwide.

Great Vid, fascinating so enjoyable.!!

Excellent video, Thank You. I really enjoyed it. Though the creation of the Scotch Marine Boiler and the Triple Expansion Steam Engine, in the 1880's should have been mentioned. These two additional innovations, with steel construction and screw propulsion, finally made Merchant Steam ships economically competitive and superior to Auxiliary Sail/Steam ships, and traditional Sailing ships. The advent of the Steam Turbine in the 1890's and in the first decade of the 20th Century, most notably utilized in the British Navy's Dreadnoughts, was very revolutionary.. The advent of the diesel engine, first used on sea going vessels in 1912, revolutionized the merchant shipping industry. Diesel propulsion was far superior to steam in terms of economy of operation. As you already know, for decades, the Diesel Engine in the overwhelming choice of propulsion in all classes of ships, from yachts to giant cruise Ships and container ships.

I remember Drachnifel made video about warship transistion from wood to iron I’m going to rewatch it

nicely done and informative

Great video! Thank you for sharing! I like paintings showing ships at sea. For example, at 0:21.

Modern cruise ships are partially constructed out of aircraft aluminum. This allowed ships to have many decks high above the water line and not be top heavy. I think the first ship with an aluminum super structure was the SS Norway (1960-2006).

Another reason composite hulls were used is because on the Great Lakes, ships would sail through shallow rivers and ports and damage the keel plates.

As a native of Virginia and a huge Civil War buff, the battle of Hampton Roads is absolutely fascinating. First thing to understand: these ships were built independently and neither side had any idea what the other was doing. It's very common in modern warfare that one side develops a new technology and has a significant advantage on the battlefield before the other side can adapt. But, in this case, both sides came up with an equally effective technology and unveiled them within a day of each other. But, in that day, the Virginia had destroyed two wooden ships and forced a third to ground to escape cannon range, emphatically establishing the iron-clad's dominance in naval warfare. And then the Monitor comes into the battle and neither ship can defeat the other. It is a literal stalemate which makes another fact very clear: one iron-clad can stand toe-to-to with another iron-clad. So, not only can an iron-clad be a very effective offensive ship against 99% of the world's naval ships of that time, it can also be a very effective defensive ship against another iron-clad. And after all that, it had no real impact on the war as a whole. Arguably one of the most important battles in terms of military technology of the Civil War was a stalemate. The Union still had their blockade and the Confederacy still controlled the inland waters.

Just to note, removing carbon from iron reduces it to a weaker cast iron which is purely brittle and breaks easily. the carbon in iron however creates an alloy allowing for the flexibility and greater durability in comparison to the more pure form of the element. adding elements such as nickle to the iron carbon alloy makes it more reliant. i mention this as you made a mistake when you mentioned impurities such as carbon making the material weaker. enjoyed the video though :D.

Permanent hogging is more the result of the greater weight vs. less floatation at the ends of the hull. The ends don't fully support themselves. Hogging and sagging underway, I would class as "working" of the hull, and it certainly is an issue with large wooden ships.

Sorry, but, I think you confused or swapped something. Not many composite ships were built in North America. Really, very few were ever built in the USA or Canada. They were very rare. In North America builders stayed with all wood or transitioned to all iron and steel (except decks & boats, etc.). I would very much like to see a list of North American builders who built composite ships. It was in Europe where there was less hardwood suitable framing timber available that composite ships were really popular as they did not require what was not available. Otherwise, good video!

Whoah whoah whoah. Carbon isn't an impurity to remove from iron to to make steel, it's the additive to iron that makes it steel. "Cast iron" is really just a very high carbon steel that has so much carbon that some of that carbon has precipitated out of solution, carbon lowers the melting point of steel which makes it easier to cast. The main challenge of steel making was controlling the amount of carbon and removing actual impurities like phosphorus and sulfur. For ages getting enough carbon was more of a challenge than too much. Otherwise awesome video, love your content.
