    I was aboard the Star of India in 1974. What a great video!

    We had no safety harnesses on "Romance". I'm glad that harnesses are now being used.

    Great video, very informative. May she sail for many years to come.

    And this is shown in ideal conditions! Another aspect that comes to mind is the constant need for maintenance and mending on the miles of hemp line, tackles, everything!

    I love this video...And yes I am an able bodied crewman not afraid to go aloft... It's not the heights...It's that I know i'll never get to her royals....That's the place an able bodied crewman needs to be....I know ill never live it....But it sure is fun to think about...Thank you....

    While I don't think I will be able to make the sails on my LEGO ship 100% accurate, I was tying them to the bottom of the crossbeams, so really wrong, lol!

    Star of India will be sailing again this year, November 11 & 12 daysails.

    При неполной загрузке ( осадка не глубока и видна подводная часть корпуса ниже ватерлинии ) ставить все паруса при боковом ветре ( галфвинд левого галса ) , это конечно смело . Ведь остойчивость при этом меньше ( вспомним трагедию " Памира " , когда малочисленная команда неуспела убрать паруса вовремя при налетевшем шквале , плюс полупустые трюмы ( ! ) ) и неприятности на постоянно движущемся в подвижной среде / mobile in mobilum / объекте ( судне ) вполне возможны и имеют печальные последствия !

    That was a beautiful video. Thanks a lot. Hopefully all those men will invite children to start learning about sailing. It was interesting to see so many men with grey hair. :)

      Indeed, I volunteer there and at 19 (almost 20) I am the youngest person there with the second youngest being in there mid 20s

    Gosh, maneuvering those big square riggers is really a pain in the a**! :-)

    I am a docent there, been trying to join the sail crew but injured my shoulder. It's a shame, healing well though maybe I'll be there soon

      Hi, I live nearby, what can I do to serve on your ship? Is there a good way for me to fill an application or should I just come by?
      Thanks for your time :)

    • @thomastheawesome4822
      @thomastheawesome4822 2 года назад

      @@aryg2545 well bear in mind it's volunteer work. You'll need to go to the museum and ask to volunteer and when you join, you'll have a black shirt and you'll be a training volunteer. To join the sail crew, I forgot who exactly you'll need to talk to because it's been a few years since I've been down there. But sail crew training is a whole separate thing

    How did they get these ships out of port? No oars?

    • @ttulinsky
      @ttulinsky 2 года назад

      I'm not a sailor but I know a little--Sometimes they had to wait for the right wind and tide. Watch a video on Tacking and Wearing - they can do a lot of tricks to turn sharply. They can set the forward and aft sails at opposing angles so the bow is pushed sideways left and the stern sideways right, turning almost on a dime. They did have oars, too--the smaller boats manned with oarsmen could pull the big boat.

      By the late 19th century, the large sailing ships were towed out by steam tugs, to a point where they were safely clear of land and had a fair wind.

    Why does the captain bother dressing up in authentic 19th-century attire just to ruin the outfit by wearing a baseball cap?
