Fantastic episode, your subject matter never ceases to peak my interest.

Good story. Thanks for the days lesson. Last time I was this early the USS Boston was still in service. General Smedley Butler said it best about those early interventions in Central America. We have gone in and pacified populations for the American businessman.

Sir, I have an appreciation for your situation even though I am not quite there yet. I have no siblings and no children, and one side of my family is completely gone. I’m only in my 50s but my father seems older every day. It is sobering to realize that I am the end of the line for two families (except for 4th and 5th cousins who might exist). My saving grace is my wife, who I met late in life. The possibility of children is past us, but we have each other. Thankfully we can still remain connected to the world through this technology, and channels such as this one give me hope for humanity.

Actually we could have had two Spanish American war ships if FDR hadn't allowed the USS Oregon to be scrapped. While I'm glad we have the Olympia, to my mind the Oregon was the more important ship historically. She's the reason the Panama Canal exists for one. She also was the only ship that had full steam available when the Spanish fleet made its break for freedom at Santiago de Cuba and fired the final shots of the battle. She was a museum ship in Portland Oregon until 1942

Once again another interesting video. Thanks for producing these video's so far all have interested me.

I once lived a few blocks from Hamlin Park. The info posted at the guns' site seamed missing something. You have not just filled the gaps - rather you have given us a story, filled with history, pride and a fitting salute to the services of the Services. Thank you for sharing...

i read alot about history yet i always learn something new watching your vids ... TY for all you do to teach people !!

WOW Another fantastic episode of History That Deserves To Be Remembered !!! With Pirates involved as well! The U.S. Navy returns to the sea with an astounding vessel that saw servive proudly from the Banana Wars (another Great episode) to WWII. Thank you History Guy for this and so much more information that is Fun to learn.

Great stuff as usual!

This is the best of your stories on American Warships. I had no idea of the history of this warship. To serve 59 years and span the growth of a nation is amazing. Thank you for telling this story. Happy Trails

Hello Dear History Guy Thank you for this truly interesting channel. The whole presentation makes me wish the episodes were much longer. I’m at home unwell and hence unable to work and with the lack of much that is either stimulating or very interesting your presentations are gems. I would like to make one request: is it possible to have more segments of history viewed from the aspect of indigenous people both of the Americas and other lands? Gratefully yours 🌞

History Guy- you're awesome!

Wow, never learned this in school! Great video.

Always great stories!

You make my favorite videos

Love learning about ships during that transitional period!

I heard that...”pirates” were involved in this story. That must be why it was interesting. Thank again History Guy

Which is really why we need to save the 1893 USS Olympia. It is the last significant ship of this era and was the flagship of the Asiatic Squadron at the Battle of Manila Bay. The hull is getting only patchwork repairs and is in need of a full restoration. Like the USS Constitution is is the bookend for an entire century. We lost the USS Hartford of the Civil War in the 1950's due to neglect. I recommend my co-authored book (from which we make no profit) "Old Hoodoo" The Battleship Texas, America's First Battleship 1895-1911 on Amazon.com. 400 pages, 800 illustrations....it preserves primary resources, this is not a "popular" history. And it only cost 10 bucks. The USS Texas was engaged in more action than any other US Warship in the Spanish American War and was in the middle of the Naval Battle of Santiago.....July 3, 1898.

Excellent! Well done sir!

Very interesting. Good job on video.

excellent treatment. thank you!

All good stories should have a ship if not a pirate. Happy 4th to you H.G and thanks again

Great video of a very important but greatly overlooked era of American history. Hoping for a future video of Teddy Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet’s grand tour of the Pacific.

God damn I love the US Navy. It wasn't until I was in my 20's and had been studying wwII pretty much my whole life that the "influence of sea power upon history" became apparent and videos like this help reinforce that. Great job!

I’m starting to become interested in this period of our history this was a good piece.

Today I was listening to Mark Knopfler’s song, Privateering. And as the lyrics took form in my imagination, I heard The History Guy’s voice in my head say, “Don’t all good stories involve pirates?” Ha! Lance, you’ve wormed your way into my consciousness!

Love The History Guy. I would like to see an episode on bicycling. How cycling lead to the push for better roads or a story on Major Taylor and how he changed sport and the color barrier or on American cyclists and their entry into the professional road race circuit in Europe.

Finally! A picture of a pre-dreadnought under sail. A Unicorn. Capital ships still had masts and yard arms into the 1900’s, yet few pictures of them under sail. If they have the capability to sail, even in emergencies, they would have to train. Love your work. Please consider a video regarding pre-dreads with canvas.

This is in no way a criticism, many British people get it wrong.

Hey History Guy - Great story telling. Can you do more on the Great White Fleet? My great uncle William Sowden Sims was a young Lt with the fleet, who began a correspondence with Roosevelt about the very poor state of American gunnery compared to British gunnery. He eventually became a friend of TR, and later president of the Naval War Collage, and commander of the American forces in the North Atlantic duding WWI. The Great White Fleet is fascinating...
