Bringing back some great memories - thank you for sharing! Mess night is still a tradition passed to Marines today. Semper Fi 🦅🌎⚓️

You are the captain of the providence now on October 4 2024 me and my friends had a field trip to this place today you teached us about the providence and how it sunk we did a experiment

Ty

Bit 'o a boozie eh lady.?

My Grandpa, who served in the Queen's Regiment, informed me that the Regiment traditionally sat for the loyal toast as the Regiments that had been amalgamated to form the Queen's Regiment had served as Marines on RN Ships. Are there any other British Army Regiments that also have this as a tradition?

i think it's bullshit our servicemen aren't allowed a little sip here n there, especially during their downtime

I raised my glass to every call, and today being a Wednesday, I drank a toast to myself. ~Ah- Harrr~

Great video short❤. I first heard of polari on Kate Lister’s podcast “Betwixt the Sheets” This video was brief and informative and best enjoyed at .75 speed. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Slow down, love. 💕

Worthwhile and informative. I was unaware that Thieves' Cant was real and had no idea about the gay language that descended from it. Please spell the name of the language.

just watched this thank you, as a foot note the 3rd Battalion the Queens regiment (as was) did not stand for the loyal toast either.

I’d like to learn all of the knots. ❤

And don't forget the "An Appeal To Heaven" flag, flown by Washington's Cruisers durning the early part of the Revolution. Not strictly a "naval" flag as it was flown by Army ships. There is also the "Gadsden Flag" that was flown by Navy ships and South Carolina had a rattlesnake flag with red and blue stripes.

Then there is the old 18th Century variation of the Loyal Toast: As they said "The King!" some would circle the glass above some water. They were toasting "the King over the water" or the Stuart claimant to the throne.

Remember that in The Service you always have to choose the lesser of two weevils.

HoHoHo...

My you yanks do like to tell a good story. Most of which must be made up.My family where many in the Navy going back to before Napoleonic times ,and no one here has ever heard of the...fluff you espounge... Yankee macaroni.

My father said there was another one, “Fear God, honour the King.”.

Yours Aye.

This may come as a shock to you but the Royal Navy doesn't need the "British" in front of it. The Royal Navy as the first organsied navy in modern times is simply the Royal Navy. Simialrly, the Royal Air Force as the first seperately organised airforce is simply known as the RAF.

Wish I was still in DC to join you guys for shanty filming 😔

And at least we now have Pussers.

It is NOT the British Royal Navy, it is the Royal Navy. What a nerve to infer that anyone could confuse us with any other navy.

Royal Navy Puffters

Up Spirits…….Stand Fast The Holy Ghost?…….posted this before it was mentioned. My Nephew a currently serving Stoker(Marine Engineer)told me when on exercise CSG21, they had an engineer across from the USS The Sullivans, they got him absolutely bladdered(drunk) they sent him back in the morning worse for wear, apparently he had a bollocking (severe dressing down) off his CO

Thanks and very informative. By the way, there's no need for 'British'; there is only one Royal Navy ditto the Royal Air Force but.......the British army.

Very well done indeed - or as the RN would have signalled in WWII, "dog - george" which stood for "manoeuvre well executed", though most would have just said, "damned good!" On a side note, the Canadian Navy decided that the old toasts were far too aggressive for a fighting force, so Thursday is now "Our Navy" and Friday "Our nation." They also changed Saturday to "Our families", though, ironically the rejoinder still works for a sailor - may they never meet.

Appreciate the effort made in producing these interesting clips - thanks 🙂

British Monarchs don't have genders, they have sexes.

That’s my great great great grandfather 🥹🫡

I was a rum boson back n the late 60's on HMS Condor near Arbroath in Scotland. Tots were served either at lunchtime or at 5pm and much bargaining took place with "sippers' and "sandy bottoms" being traded for favours.

And by tradition, the Royal Marines never stand for the Loyal toast (as they're RN personnel). There's a lot of arguing about it with the other branches but the best argument I've heard is 'The Navy is the senior branch of the forces, so you adapt to us, not the other way around.'

This video was so fun! Thanks for making great stuff Caroline 💕

how is that my niche exactly wtf

girl not me being a gay sailor and coming across this video...

To quote a toast of my late father in law who served in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm in the British Pacific fleet in WW2….. “Here’s to it and to it again, let him who gets to it and doesn’t do it, never gets to it to do it again”

Oh wow, that was very interesting and informative, especially the language part. Thank you and Happy Pride 🎉🏳️‍🌈

OMG this was so cool!! I love all the research that went into it. Thank you!

nowadays the ships are dry

Great information, I have got to visit the Providence one day!

Great information! People today could benefit from learning about the great properties of these natural materials.

Is that the boarding axe from Townsends?

Enjoyed the rhymes. Excellent presentation by Quartermaster Kit. Glad he included G. Washington's fishery. The importance of shad to the Army at Valley Forge was new to me.

Great Video! I would expect the rum ration to be watered down into grog but I wonder how John Paul Jones treated the rum ration

Wow I love it. Looks like you guys have a lot of fun out there!

How did you get your period correct horn spoon that amazing teal color? I very surprised that you liked the hardtack best.
