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.

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.....

@heartofoak5153Ай бұрын

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

@audigexАй бұрын

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

@daneelolivaw602Ай бұрын

@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.

Annus mirabilis 1759. The year Britain became the dominant power in the world. The naval blockade of Brest was the first time that ships were kept at sea indefinitely and didn't succumbed to disease. Something we all take for granted.

@captaincruise87963 жыл бұрын

Very interesting analysis with a lot of apt research. I think it’s also worth stressing the critical shortage of experienced seamen faced by the French Navy at the time. Suddenly losing another 2500 seamen at Cardinaux was probably more operationally crippling than the loss of a few more ships. Tough place to be in. Do you have any thoughts for what a French commander such as Conflans or his superiors could have done at or before the battle to avoid disaster or defeat the blockade?

El reino unido recien para 2050 va a desclasificar la informacion sobre la guerra y hace no mucho el principe andrew reconocio que el portaaviones fue atacado (esto siempre fue negado). Cuando la flota vuelve de la guerra es por eso que el falso invencible no aparece en southampon hasta unos meses despues (la excusa fue que se quedo apoyando en las islas).

I'm not disagreeing with you or anything, but do you really think that it was just liberals and immigrants that caused England, population 50 million give or take, to be eclipsed by the USA, population 320 million, and China, population north of a billion? England, or the UK, or the Empire, however you style it, was a declining power by 1910, back when there were virtually no immigrants to be seen. Britain's global standing fell apart because it was unsustainable over the long term. It's astonishing that England held on as long as it did as a global power, a tribute to its people and its politics. You chaps have punched above your weight for over a hundred years. Not bad.
