- Another one from the video vaults. Architect and historian Maxwell Hutchinson explores Portsmouth Naval Dockyard as it was over 20 years ago. Part one of two.
Used to go to Navy Days here as a young lad in the 60's & 70's. Lovely to see Victory with her Masts! 🙂
HMS Victory was built in Chatham Kent yard by the way
I was there a couple of weeks ago. Would have been great to have watched this before I went not after!
the hardness or softness of wood is dependent on the seed, not the actual wood.
I'm from Ireland and I love English history, its a pity England is getting out of control with emigrants
Yes the dockyard is fascinating pity some old fruitcake is showing you 1% of it. I spent 8 yrs there even got sentenced to 26 days detention in the Victorian navy detention quarters (prison) in the late eighties that sits further along the dock yard wall, it had broken glass topping.
What did you do?
Very poor narration. I was lost when he was explaining the masts & the boats getting put in that building. He omitted lots of important information.

it would be great to raise the HMS Erebus & HMS Terror in the Canadian Arctic and bring them back here for display instead of laying at the bottom of the Canadian Arctic
I get the feeling this guy does't know cast Iron from Wrought Iron. At 11:10 he talks about cast Iron strapping - but cast Iron cant take tension. I bet that is Wrought Iron Strapping, it even looks like it. He makes other basic errors about the Block making mill. The Machines to do this were invented & designed by Marc Isambard Brunel, but made by others such as Henry Maudslay. Amazingly some of these original machines still exist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_Block_Mills
