Monte Markham was a fabulous narrator and accomplished actor.
Wonderful documentary. Very interesting & informative & full of history. Many thanks.
Some years ago, I found a model ship (around 110 cm long for around 70 cm high)of the four-mast bark "Lawhill" in a little belgian fries and pitta shop. It was on top of a hight fridge, her masts down, her sails greasy and sticky and verry dusty. While waiting for my food, I proposed 50€ to the guy preparing my pitta and he accepted. I never regreted this purchase. I only saw one model of this ship on the internet as this day.
I just read about the Lawhill in Alan Villiers book. He sailed in her with a Finnish crew. Fascinating.
A powerful story - well worth watching.
I had the great pleasure and certainly recommend walking the decks of the Star of India in San Diego as nothing can compare to seeing the mass of lines and rigging reaching to the sky held aloft by giant masts. The very fact that sailors would be up over a hundred feet pitching and rolling in a stormy sea is almost beyond believe so it’s no wonder the U.S. Coast Guard uses a square rigger for training to toughen up new recruits.
Great story. Thanks a lot!
Two years before the mast, a great book about the conditions these guys faced.
I liked the cooks story about Finns being wizards.
2YBTM is also very interesting for anyone who has ever lived in Los Angeles.
Great to see your new sails doing a great job for you Kevin
When a teenager sailing on my Dad's yacht out of Cape Town harbour in the late 1960's, we used to pass the "Lawhill" which was lying alongside an unused mole looking very sad and forgotten. My Dad was clearly moved by her, but at that time I did not understand her significance. Later she was towed away and presumably scrapped. Now I know the story of these great ships I wish I had taken more note at the time.
I just read about the Lawhill in Alan Villers book. He sailed in her with a Finnish crew. Fascinating.
Excellent documentary 👏
Great Up!
I grew up with The Star of India. Watching her restoration and her brilliance in Christmas lights, reflecting of the water...Magical!
The Last Grain Race by Eric Newby
Such a nice show, I subscribed to your channel because of the quality of this show, please keep up the good work !!
When the Duchess came under Gustaf Eriksons ownership the number of Hands were molten to almost a quarter from previous almost eighty men ... wrestling a giantess of canvas and ropes like her round the Horn onto the South Pacific stage .. flying high . might have been a pretty intimate thus intimidating experience 😰
I have watched a video on restoring the Peking and although I feel sad about her never sailing I can recommend the coverage on how all the rigging was replaced :)
You must have seen this about Peking, one of the best videos about ships like that.

The History channel use to be about these documentaries.
very nice
Holy Wrath of Kahn with the music.
wow
The Balcutha in San Francisco is a fine example of these barks. I’m kinda bummed it’s not fully restored to working order. The maritime museum is now a state park and is a great day out if you are in the Bay Area 🌊🏄♂️☀️
AYE! Maities and fer sure! Be ready and set the MAIN.
Windjammer is a cool name though.
Looks like a Clipper ship.
I wonder if the smuggling trade would fare better with one of these vessels
What smuggling trade u talking about ?
I was referencing the fact that most of these vessels were owned by specific companies and was curious about if they were used by outlaws on underground trade.
@@benlahrman4149 They were smuggling. They ran their legitimate loads and on the side ran whatever else they could manage to be paid to run. No different than how it works these contemporary days.
Could use a forewarning before I blast my 3AM ears off with a bagpipe opening
'Windjammer' was a term used by landlubbers, picked up from the crews of steamships.
The term 'Tall Ship' was also a landlubbers term for a sailing vessel--it came from the poem, Sea Fever by John Masefield.
Both these terms have become embedded in the language. They are not true maritime terms. The 'Prow' is also a non-nautical term. It is purely literary term, never used at sea.
Transferred?
Transferred? You mean stolen
P KING was not metal
Looks dangerous.
9:21 he says work and twerk lol 20 years before punk kids
Would everyone stop reaching so hard to find something a woman might have done in history!!!
Then acting like it was the norm.
I am referring to the "captain's wife" part of this video of course...
Its not necessary to lie, or actually change factual history .
Just to boost women's role in history...
Real women are big enough to handle the way things were. Without being lied to, like a child.
No, they wouldn't. And that is the problem. Even the Dutch are turning into boring and stupid and no more thinking-for-themselves, that is obediant fools. The decades of freedom and emancipation of women are disappearing. Back into the darkness.
