I was wondering if you could do a video covering the harrying of the north? It’s such an important yet forgotten part of English history, northern England still hasn’t recovered nearly 1000 years later, and it’s a big reason why the north-south divide is even a thing.
Gosh, I have been 12 times a Board HMS Victory . I grow up on Hayling Island. When ever visitors came , they had to see this ship. To be honest ? I like HMS Warrior most .
I have served in the navy and lived my life on the sea, literally. Personally I have a link to Robert Blake, who is always forgotten about and who Nelson credits his abilities to. I am trying to find the resting place of the first St George (1622) which was where Blake died on in 1657 after smashing the Dutch and Spanish. It was sunk as a hulk off Sheerness in 1699 and planning to cross the world to find it. The RN and RN museums have no knowledge of where it is. Blake was interred in Westminster after a state funeral yet is pretty much forgotten. The memory of General at sea (Admiral) Robert Blake is kept alive by very few. Great telling of Nelson though.
The history of the England, a small island that ruled the seas for hundreds of years. I don't believe any other nation has the history to compete with the English. A remarkable people in my opinion.
These ships are really Legends, thank god, they were preserved! But to be honest, I miss the FLower Class Corvette HMCS Sackville, surviving many convoybattles and the only survivor of the biggest class of warships ever built
A testament to the UK that almost all the famous ships are from there, no other country can math it. No ship, past let's say the Bismark can ever be more famous than the great British ships.
I noticed a rifle in the first class cabin on the wall the lower bunk on the Great Britain. Was that a decoration or did the cabins come with a working rifle and, if so, why? Otherwise, love all the vids I've seen so far. Thank you!! Cheers!!
@KungKarl one ship, with a short segment at the very end is just an outlier. It's a very misleading title. This is a documentary on mostly on English ships and I bet most folks outside of the UK wouldn't considering most of these "the most famous"
@TheCerebralMirage right. Like I'd say USS Constitution or even USS Missouri is more famous than most of these, missouri especially considering her role as the site of Japan's surrender in ww2
I've always found it odd that with their state of engineering, that they never developed a "manual propeller" for times when there was no wind? Oars worked for Vikings & Romans, etc but these ships were much bigger. I think that they could've developed a manual means of propulsion during those times....would've been a game changer for sure!
Some frigates and other smaller ships were equipped with sweeps that would help maneuver and position the ship when there was not enough air, this was not a form of propulsion. Besides actually towing the ship using the ship's rowboats there are no other options available. However, other propulsion methods would not be invented until steam power was harnessed and later the combustion engine was invented.
The passengers in steerage, would they be able to fish for their food? Like if a guy brought his pole along would he be allowed to fish or would that be up to the captain?
I always thought this HH stood for Helly Hansen. I hope, this is no hit in sense of 18 and 88 which is also very common in a certain "scene". This people often show special interest in history. Really hope, this is just a bad coincidence.
French designs were more innovative and were often admired and copied by the British , French ships taken as prizes were examined and their lines entered into admiralty records for future reference but the copies were generally adapted to British needs with a heavier build improved stowage for stores and British pumps .
Only every history nerd in history ever. I bet people in rome back in the day were like: "If only I could have lived back in Alexanders time and conquered the world with him" :D
Dan Snow studied history at Oxford and is an excellent presenter. As for sources - that's preposterous, it's a popular history show not an academic paper! Do you really think that any show that's about history should include pages of references?!
Wrong!Horatio Nelson was never an admiral.According to 1 source,the 1st Royal Navy broadside at the battle of Trafalgar used cannisters.Its a good show,though.
From that famous battle you can take spain out of the contest,since the spanish monarchy was sold out to the bourbons family since 1707, so imagine for how long france has spain as part of their dominions. Also, no need to look for imaginary ports of departure for america s discovery, was all made by the catalans,including all companies that in 1707/1714 were transferred / managed to the british parliament.
Contrast the presentation of Dan Snow with Alice Loxton. Her commentary is loud, insistent and unpleasant to listen too. She has a good voice for books.
Golf and all sports is about competing 🤷♂️, a knock about with your mates is not proper golf. Don’t get why people don’t like competition, tells you a lot about the then if I’m honest.
Kind of a misleading headline. Should have been named "famous historical ships of the UK and Northern Europe" While I got 2 hours in, I was pretty tired of waiting to see *anything* else other than UK ships
Indeed. Its like this with all their videos: "most famous something" and its allways british or in britain. The other day I watched "Hadrian's Wall: The Final Frontier Of The Ancient Roman Empire", and its was interesting, but the final frontier in britain? Makes it sound like the mighty roman empire was brought to a halt by scottish people alone xD
Typical. What an insult to Scots, Irish and Welsh - ENGLAND expects every man due his duty. Another point. The Carrons were made in Carron, a town in Stirlingshire - SCOTLAND.
England history is full of majestic battles, they never talk about their allies. Allies with Austria/Russia/France. They mis-used all their anemies. And what a problems they had with the tiny country the Netherlands. 😂😂😂😂 Back down a little bit please.
Aboard the most famous British* ships in history There, I fixed it for you. USS Constitution is far more famous than all of these ships, maybe aside from HMS Victory. So is USS Arizona.
Absolutely loved this video! The visuals and explanations were amazing.
Long videos is what makes You Tube the best of all platforms. Thank you history hit.
Every history video feels like a window into the past, bringing ancient tales to life
i grew up in Portsmouth, nothing feels like home quite like HMS Victory

Marvellous Post, thank you.

Interesting 🤨💜🌺
Great series. Really good to see them collated into one like this. Nice one team! 🌟👍
Not to mention Sean Bean going back in time to help out and fight the French on the land!
I love all the artwork 😍

its hard to comprend how little life was valued in these wars
How did you guys get these accurate sources and detail?
😂 Google mate, try it 😂
@@samuelgarrod8327 The scholar is hard to find.
The most famous ship in history to me would be USS Yorktown CV-5....😉
Point taken, but the US Navy would have to go with USS Enterprise.
@@livingadreamlife1428
I can not believe that they scrapped USS Enterprise CV-6! 😥
Never heard of it.
"Aboard the Most Famous Ships in *British* History" would perhaps be a more accurate title.
I'm not sure how the Swedish ship Götheborg fits in to that title.
@KungKarl one ship, with a short segment at the very end is just an outlier.
It's a very misleading title. This is a documentary on mostly on English ships and I bet most folks outside of the UK wouldn't considering most of these "the most famous"
The most famous ship when the British empire was at its peak... The biggest in the world... I think the title is fitting
RUclips titles are to get viewers to watch. If you got a bad titles then the video will not do well.
@TheCerebralMirage right. Like I'd say USS Constitution or even USS Missouri is more famous than most of these, missouri especially considering her role as the site of Japan's surrender in ww2
History hit sends in their tallest man to a ship meant for men a foot shorter than him
The Carpenter on board Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar was William Bunce, he was 6ft 7ins tall.
Brilliant build Engineering and craftsmanship!
I've always found it odd that with their state of engineering, that they never developed a "manual propeller" for times when there was no wind? Oars worked for Vikings & Romans, etc but these ships were much bigger. I think that they could've developed a manual means of propulsion during those times....would've been a game changer for sure!

Watching the Phoenix I realize that the naval economical powers of those days conquered the world in... nutshells.
How was the voiceover recorded to sound so clear in this video?
2:32:35 Not one living person thought that there was even a remote chance of finding new people or a new spice trade in Antarctica.
1:32 The Dutch: Are we a joke to you? 🇳🇱
Who?
Be quiet, Swamp Germans
Francesc Dragó s ship( alias francis drake) cannot be included into the british ones because he was CATALAN, like Cabot, and Quinós(hawkins)
The VOC ship Batavia's story needs to be told.
This is History Hit, it's basically a British propaganda channel. See the title of this video, and the odd exclusion of the USS Constitution.
The passengers in steerage, would they be able to fish for their food? Like if a guy brought his pole along would he be allowed to fish or would that be up to the captain?
Цікаве та пізнавальне відео. Дякую ❤️
Cutty Sark became a symbol of British pluckiness after... losing.
God, that's the most British thing ever lmao
After losing what? I don't understand your comment. Cutty Sark was a merchant ship, a tea clipper.

Made in catalonia, of course
Does anyone else feel like they were born in the wrong era.
Only every history nerd in history ever. I bet people in rome back in the day were like: "If only I could have lived back in Alexanders time and conquered the world with him" :D
I often do, I think traveling aboard a big sail ship like these would be interesting. Perhaps terrifying at times but still interesting
I'd rather stay in the comfort of the modern era and not die from scurvy or the other bazillion ways one could die back in those days
Nope. I'm happy without smallpox, cholera, dysentery, tuberculosis, scurvy, beri-beri, leprosy.

Funny how the most famous ships in History are all british.
well considering that it is one of the oldest seafaring nations in the world it figures.
@@ageingviking5587True!
These videos are made in Britain
USS Constitution or an Iowa class are aguably way more famous then any ships in this video except Victory perhaps ;D
@@hernerweisenberg7052 there are other parts of the world, that don’t care for us ships.
"Went Went"? "We Went", surely.
Why is Turbinia not on that list? The world’s first steam turbine ship, built by George Parson at Wallsend.
Contrast the presentation of Dan Snow with Alice Loxton. Her commentary is loud, insistent and unpleasant to listen too. She has a good voice for books.
he said poop. lol
USS Constitution?
first!
well almost
I still think I will be the first to comment a youtube video at some point in time. And then I will be able to die without regret

The guy doing the SS Great Britain segment is awful

Too many Englishmen.

There, I fixed it for you. USS Constitution is far more famous than all of these ships, maybe aside from HMS Victory. So is USS Arizona.
