You should get a better microphone, speak a little slower and with more bass. You have a great voice, but the audio production value lacks a little. Just trying to help.
@dgh25 I actually think it all sounds good. Microphone sounds good and you have the perfect voice for this. If I may suggest one thing, I'd like to see images of the things you're speaking of when you describe something in the videos. For example when you're naming the ship types, showing examples of them as you say them would be very helpful, I had to google them, which was fine but obviously less enjoyable! Great job, always looking forward to your videos. And now that you mentioned it this video, Henry Avery's ship would be interesting to learn more of. Or whoever had the biggest/most outfitted ship
Fabulous video! Pirate sloops (and schooners) had the advantage of being able to sail closer to the wind than square-riggers, offering the opportunity both for escape from square rigged warships, or to close in on similarly rigged prey. As a result, those hunting pirates often used sloops etc.
Back then the bulkheads had a different job than they do on today's ships. They mainly split up the inside of the ship into sections, like rooms in a house. While these bulkheads did add a little structural support to the ship, they weren't the main things holding it together. So, if pirates wanted to change things, it usually didn't make the ship overly weak, as long as they were careful and thought about how the ship was designed.
The bulkhead refers to what we might call a 'wall', but unlike in a house, where the studs provide some structural support, on a ship the structural support is the keel, ribs and crossbeams, so the bulkhead is just a 'room divider', so to speak. They would not remove any of the structural supports, either horizontal or vertical, since that would be...uh...bad. But if you imagine the ship as a hollow, ship-shaped box, you get the idea.
How would they get the ship back into the water after cleaning the hull? Curious if it would be a 1 day job. Did they get close to shore at high tide, tide goes out, the ship's hull gets cleaned, and then back out at high tide?
So It wouldn't have always been done in a single day but yes, that's pretty much how the process worked. They probably had to row out an anchor or two to help them refloat the ship. The process deserves it's own video and I'll mark it down to get to that in the future.
The ship was brought close to an appropriate beach (shallow slope, adequate tidal levels), turned parallel to the shore and when the tide ebbed, the ship was tilted to one side with ropes, pulleys and some sort of anchoring, trees, poles, etc. This exposed on side of the hull down to the keel. The entire crew would scrape and caulk that side, then the ship would be refloated and turned to the other side for the same treatment. Unless it was a rather small vessel, it would certainly not be a one day job, probably more like a one week job. Given the warm waters of the Caribbean, this process was necessary about every six months, or the vessel would soon be ruined by various marine borers that literally eat the wood. Various coatings were applied as well, when available, but it wasn't until the advent of copper sheathing that marine growths were more or less overcome. Today, of course, we have cranes and cradles for this process. Even steel and fiberglass boats/ships need their hulls cleaned and painted with anti-fouling paints (usually containing copper) until the advent of modern anti-fouling chemical applications. For those who've never owned a boat, here are a couple of boat owner truths: Definition of a boat: a wood-lined hole in the water into which you pour money; The two happiest days of a boat owner's life: the day he buys it and the day he sells it. Yes, I've owned a couple of boats...both these statements are true.
Great question! They'd run the ship aground in suitable coastal locations and secure it with anchors and ropes. This allowed them to expose one side of the hull when the tide receded, making it accessible for cleaning, repairs, and maintenance. After completing the necessary work, they'd wait for the high tide to refloat the ship, again using anchors to help with that. The process deserves its own video to be honest.
🏴☠ I hope you all enjoyed this week's episode. Pirate ships had some amazing stories to tell. Is there a ship's story you're curious about?
You should get a better microphone, speak a little slower and with more bass. You have a great voice, but the audio production value lacks a little. Just trying to help.
Thanks I’m always working on improving

@@Izaeah If you go straight from a quality audio video to this, you can clearly hear it.
PS. Agree on the images.
@dgh25 To be honest, I am watching on a phone, so that might be why I've not noticed anything. Good looking out!
Queen Anne's Revenge is such an awesome name for a ship.
its pretty good but i prefer peter eastons flagship "happy adventure" :)
“The Happy Delivery” has to be one of the best names.
My friend has a mackerel boat called Big Lizz😂
Thanks for making this great content.
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting - loved the illustrations too
Thanks!
"Alright Captain, what's first?"
"Guns...lots of guns."
Cool video mate. Great art as well
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is one of the better accounts on here and deserves a few hundred thousand subs
Thanks for saying that!
Love the videos and great pictures.
Thanks so much!

The 46-gun frigate Fancy is my favorite real pirate ship!!! Nice video as always!!!
Thanks!
Thanks
Thank you!
Black beard was OG!!
Arent bulkheads often structural support? Im curios how they removed bulkheads without seriously weakening their ships in the process..
Back then the bulkheads had a different job than they do on today's ships. They mainly split up the inside of the ship into sections, like rooms in a house. While these bulkheads did add a little structural support to the ship, they weren't the main things holding it together.

@@ThePiratesPort Oh, ok. Thanks for the explanation! 👍

Not mentioning sea of theives when talking bout games and movies is criminal. Love the video though
You’re right! Sorry for missing that. Glad you liked the video in any case.
I keep coming back to Sid Meier's Pirates!, it's still a great game.
First

How did pirates beach there ships and then get them free and on the water after careening the ship
Great question! They'd run the ship aground in suitable coastal locations and secure it with anchors and ropes. This allowed them to expose one side of the hull when the tide receded, making it accessible for cleaning, repairs, and maintenance.

Yep...... LOVE my Assasions Creed Black Flag game 🎮 and Captain Jack Sparrow.
so what do any of YOU think
