Hi from New Zealand. Americas Cup Racing here at the moment. One of the Italian sailing ships visited a few years ago for previous cup race, it was beautiful.
Look up a search on google for tall ships nearby. There's a lot around!!! I used to have two by me, but one sank in March of last year. I regularly paddle board around where the other one is docked, and often I like going under the front of the ship, just for fun!!! I also got to see the Lady Washington, which played the Interceptor in Pirates of the Caribbean. We also have a tall ships festival every year, and ships from all around sail in. Everyone sits out on the jetty and watches as they have cannon battles and sail in. the sound of the cannons echoes off the cliffs and vibrates through your body. One year, during low tide, we waded out and stood right on the edge of the sand bar, and were maybe about 20 feet from them as they sailed by!!!
Because it's their ships, it's like their home, and they need order in their ship because order is the most important thing while sailing to have everything under control. So, having all these people around, make them uncomfortable.
I love when in 1962 the aircraft carrier USS Independence met her sailing in the Mediterranean and flashed "You are the most beautiful ship in the world!"
It’s a Navy Ship… i was a crewman in 1996, we were always nervous about tourist visits on board… cause there are a lot of dangers on the bridge an tourist some times do stupid things to take pictures… or touching things that could harm them… it’s a Nightmare 🤣
@@oseo943 I can imagine, having the responsibilities of not just the ship but also a huge excited crowd that wants to touch every damn thing on the ship haha
@@korbell1089 Tall ship story - the man Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian explorer and navigator from the Republic of Florence, from whose name the term "America" is derived. The full-rigged sailing ship America Vespucci is known by the moniker "The most beautiful ship in the world". The moniker comes from the following events: In 1962, as their paths crossed in the Mediterranean Sea, American aircraft carrier USS Independence challenged Amerigo Vespucci with the light signal: "Who are you?" The full-rigged sailing ship, standing up to the nuclear aircraft carrier's challenge, answered: "Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy." Independence flashed back: "You are the most beautiful ship in the world." In 2022, Amerigo Vespucci crossed paths in the Mediterranean Sea with American aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush, which flashed America Vespucci: "You are still, after 60 years, the most beautiful ship in the world."
Ooooh, I got full body tingles watching this. They are all beautiful ships but my favourits are: 0:11#1 Batavia, 1:49 #4 Amerigo Vespucci, 2:28 #5 Nao Victoria, 5:16 #8 L'Hermione, 8:34 #12 HMS Suprise, 9:35 #14 HMS Victory, 13:05 #19 Neptune and 14:53 #22 Dragon.
8:43, yes she's now known as the HMS Surprise, but prior to her refit for Master & Commander by Hollywood, she was known as the HMS Rose, built in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, home of the Bluenose, & the HMS Bounty (may she rest in peace). Still, a very beautiful ship.
L'Hermoine has the most beautiful lines of any ship I've seen. Three story of how they built her is fascinating, good documentary somewhere on RUclips.
I was there in Lunenberg, summer 2015, as topman. Maybe the greatest adventure in my life. All these ships on the video are beautiful, but l'Hermione is the best! Bon vent les Gabiers!
What makes the HMS Victory even more special is that you know that Nelson himself stood on that very deck during Trafalgar. Outnumbered and yet he still won without losing a single ship and capturing 21 enemy vessels. That is unbelievable!!!
More unbelievable is the absolute lack of skills of french admiral Villeneuve....typical of french people in charge of command, with some exceptions (no french bashing: i'm french....)
@@emmanuelnaudin6726 THat may be a bit unfair to Villeneuve, He had inexerenced crew and was facing some of the most experienced in history. In addition his formation was pretty much what most admirals of the period would use and he was facing one of the greatest admirals of any period. His pressure from land based command also was a disadvantage.
Amerigo Vespucci was the Italian cartographer who was the first to realize that the land Columbus discovered wasn't the East Indies, but was in fact an entirely new continent. So both North and South America were named in his honor.
@@richardstahlherz8168 Yes, they were the first to go there. I said Amerigo Vespucci was the first to realize the Americas were new continents, not Asia. So they named them after him.
@@richardstahlherz8168 TECHNICALLY, it was the northeastern Russian Eskimo tribes who went there first, Columbus was the first one to tell the world about it and the vikings are in between the two and don’t really matter. They didn’t go there first, they did not manage to stay, nor did they tell the world about their discovery and therefore they didn’t really change history. Btw I’m Norwegian and very proud of my heritage, but the vikings simply weren’t perfect.
However, it is impressive that the vikings were able to cross the Atlantic so early. The viking ships and other viking technology were way ahead of its time.
2:57 As far as I know the Swedish East-Indiaman Götheborg is the only ship that complies fully with international rules, which means she can travel freely across the oceans. She's already done one voyage from Sweden to China, and back again and trips around Europe. There's been talks about sailing to the US as well, but much is uncertain in these days. There are also restrictions as to where you are allowed to use sails, so anywhere in canals/ports you're only allowed to use engine power.
Right at the very beginning, that green ship is the Alexander Von Humboldt II Just last week during the race from Esbjerg to Harlingen she was on our tail and our skipper was determined not to let her passed. So we had our first “ALL HANDS ON DECK” we were only a small boat but we kept the Alex in the back before we passed the waypoint and tacked leaving her in the dust! What an experience
Experiences like that are something to behold. Once in a lifetime. Bet you'll have eternal visions of that encounter. Blue skies, fair wind, and calm waters to you my friend.
Did you know,some ship need 1-2hour to be able in full sail with more than 200 ropes pulled manually,with more than 50people work on it. not as easy as it looks in the movies
Fun fact: Götheborg was built with old techniques. Everyting on the ship was handmade, even the nails to the ship were handmade and the wood to the ship came from Gothenburg city parks. If you don't belive me there is documentaries of the building of the ship that took 8 years to build.
The beauty of theese ships will never be surpased, and the bravery, instint and expertise of the sailors who was part of theese bauties a few centuries ago...
Was able to set foot on the Halve Maen in Volendam harbour this summer. Sailed there with a few buddies and the skipper spotted us rolling into harbour with a crate of cold ones on the deck, asked us if we wanted a free tour and have a few beers. Locals weren't too friendly so we spent a good few hours with him getting drunk and talking about the history of the ship (type). Great memories! At the time he had been stuck in the same spot for some months due to corona, I hope they're able to get her out of there some time soon - she's a beauty.
Something i didnt know i needed at this moment in my life. For my lost farher, sea has allways been close to hes hart and has once even sailed the seas, that might be the explanation why im lovin these videos. Sea and old wooden boats has allways intrigued me 🤗

He took her at Cape Lopez, and when his ship was being ambushed by Chaloner Ogle, the Captain of the Swallow, Roberts was having a cup of tea and some salmagundi with her Captain, Captain Hill, whom he had taken prisoner.

@@DanLoadan No, she was the last ship ever captured by Capt Bartholomew Roberts. Roberts only ever kept a few of the ships he captured. The rest were looted and released, or perhaps they were held for ransom, and a handful of them were burned. Roberts was having breakfast with the Neptune's captain, when his own ship was attacked, which indicates he had probably ransomed her and was negotiating terms.
@@personnpc590 it is illegal for ships to have no motor when entering harbors, they are considered a shippipng hazard then. Several of those frigates are fully seaworthy and can be sailed like in the olden days, but they are not allowed to enter port under sail and that is where most of them are shown. E.g the French L'Hermione was completely built from scratch as a reproduction of a French frigate and did several voyages across the Atlantic.
Amerigo Vespucci is known to be the most beautiful ship in the entire world, for prestige, elegance, quality and features, she is also very old and prestigious
Nothing on earth like witnessing a period sailing ship on a broad reach in choppy seas. Will never forget the sight of the Endeavour replica sailing extremely close to the Port Elizabeth SA coast en route to Australia.
One of the most beautiful modern sailing boats I have ever seen is the Maltese Falcon, produced in Tuzla, Istanbul. But I like old style sailboats differently because they are very natural, detailed, aesthetic and spiritual. They have historical values and have brought great things to humanity
@@mikearakelian6368 It varies depending on design, size and purpose of use. For example, if you enlarge a yacht, it becomes a super yacht, but you don't call it a ship.
Many thanks for making video showing so many beautiful and elegant ships and also what it must have been like to face a broadside from a “100 gun triple deck first rate ship of the line” like the victory but all these old warships no long need to go to war and we can just marvel at the skill and craftsmanship it took to make them
Many, many thanks for this time travel to our ancestors of seafarers who explored generation by generation, mile by mile under sails the world for centuries. As a sailor with pride I like to keep the spirit alive of "old seamanship" with these magnificant gratious vessels.
Constitution and Victory are the elite class which includes only themselves - heavily blooded and undefeated warriors from battles which are still famous. As top-of-the-line warships, they were the cutting edge of military function in their era and, with form following function, to my eye they also still have the most beautiful lines of the show. The lingering views of Constitution, closing the vid with Constitution playing Evening Colors as she did as a warship ranging the globe, are beautiful touches. Would have loved to see Cutty Sark in the crest as the pinnacle of the surviving merchantmen.
I concure. Being from Boston I couldn't be anymore proud to have grown up around such great history, and get goosebumps every time I'm on board her, or get to see her guns salute on the 4th of July. But HMS Victory is in a class of her own.
@@antoninmathieu8701 That there are only two left is also a testament to the extreme effort and good fortune which has been needed to salvage and maintain them. By the grace of poets both came back from one foot in the grave.
@@antoninmathieu8701 USS Constellation, a sloop, is still afloat. If I remember correctly she was partially made from the timbers of the frigate Constellation, sister ship of Constitution.
@@dirus3142For a long time the frigate and the sloop of war Constellations were thought to be the same ship (as that’s what the official paperwork from the navy claimed), but in the 90s they looked back at the original designs and figured out that they couldn’t be the same ship.
This...🤔 This motivates me to play "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" again.😁 My favourite part begins at 10:11, No. 15. The beautiful "Kalmar Nyckel". Great video! Thanks for sharing.🙂
Damn shame that communist Russia didn't upkeep, maintain , and preserve the Cristobal Colombo they took from Italy after WW2. . She was as big , modern , and sister ship to the Amerigo Vespucci
What people dont understand is that you cant sail one of these without wind. So i understand when they build motors into these for the silent days. Rly great footage!
by law all newly built tallships/sailing vessels must be motorized now. Not the Originals. The Replica of the San Salvador out of San Diego, I never got to see built but they had to motorize it.
Ehh thats not it mate...im a sailor and so far did 4 tall ship races onboard of belgian vessel rupel...the engines are installed to get in and out marinas,during a tall ship race its actually never allowed to run on engine power
@@Jeremy-ff7gv During sailing itself you're correct. You basically said what I meant. But here in the United States, the law is New Tallships must have modern drive systems for exactly what you described :) We were on the same page Bro! lol You just probably said it better than me :P
@@yeoldesaltydog7415 yea thats different than the rest of the world tho...the rupel is a vessel used back in the 1800's in the war vs napoleon tho they were forced to motorize aswell since european marinas are all very compact and small,there is no room left for a tallship to drop their sails
@@yeoldesaltydog7415 ruclips.net/video/gbK1g5H_Jv4/видео.html this the ship im talking off...those 2 sailors with beards were with me,the youngsters are after my sailing days tho
I understand the complaints from those who hate to see the motorization of these ships, but you must consider the vast manpower it takes to hoist just one sail. For instance, the USS Constitution, the last ship shown, had a compliment of over 400 just to set sail. Try finding that many able seamen today that actually know what they are doing to sail her. Not to mention the dangers of the work involved, which are many. Many sailors died falling to their deaths on the deck of such ships. Hard to find people to volunteer for such hazardous duty these days.
True they had a large crew, but many were "idlers" marines, carpenters ,cooks etc ,but she still needed a sailing crew of about 120 to safely manage her.
I wish people would go back to tall ships (with back up engines to prevent being caught in a dead calm). They would save on fuel and wouldn't negatively impact the lives of marine mammals.
Many interesting ships, although I think the most beautiful are those that actually sail as opposed to motoring around. I'm baffled about the USS Constitution being ranked all the way down at 23, and the omission of the USCGS Eagle -- both of which actually sail occasionally!
probably a requirement for seaworthiness and safety that they are fitted with conventional engines. I'm wondering if it's hard to come by people with the experience to sail these nowadays
@@zxsp3ctrom no, it's not. See for example the cargo ship "Tres Hombres". Engines are necessary to keep a time schedule. If you book a trip from A to B, you also have to book flights from your home to A and from B back home. You surely don't want to miss your flight due to low winds.
Newer built ships are typically required to have at least some kind of emergency engine. Older ships have them installed for the simplest of reasons: it's just smart. Putting an engine in these makes it possible for them to dock without the assistance of tow or tug boats. It makes port and harbor entry possible in places where previously, it required far more effort than could be justified. Finally, having an engine in a storm is probably the biggest help you can have. Imagine how much easier it is to control the ship with an engine, instead of sails, when the wind is blasting 60 MPH, in the wrong direction.
No you can book a voyage on the Bark Europa and sail the oceans for weeks. That ships is not sailing the oceans only when it is being maintained. The cost per night is equivalent to a cheap hotel, but you will sea the ocean and the best night skies on the world.
Indeed. Even the more common 2-decker 74 gun ships of the line took a whopping 2,800 oak trees to build a single ship. A good 21' of freeboard they rose high off the water too and 180 feet of waterline to a dizzying main masthead height they took enormous skill and practice to sail and fight properly. As my sailor friend noted - those skills have long since been lost.
And yet, they built the the underwater ship first then floated it out to being the next one. Basically it was the first production line set up. At least in the Netherlands not England.
Dang, old sailing ships looks more beautiful than modern ships
Absolutely!
@@sailingmyfairlady5318 stfu get a life
Depends, definitely nicer than modern cargo ships and steel vessels in general, but personally I prefer schooners and gaff rigs over square rigs.
@@sailingmyfairlady5318 please elaborate on your opinion, I can’t tell if you think modern cargo vessels are beautiful or like modern sailboats.

Nope, we're made of flesh and blood. Just like you

That's cool.
@@DanLoadan No, she was the last ship ever captured by Capt Bartholomew Roberts. Roberts only ever kept a few of the ships he captured. The rest were looted and released, or perhaps they were held for ransom, and a handful of them were burned. Roberts was having breakfast with the Neptune's captain, when his own ship was attacked, which indicates he had probably ransomed her and was negotiating terms.
The days of the sailing ships has gone but their beauty will live forever. A real good video. Thank you for it.
When I look at these I imagine that the age of beauty in the waves has returned
The old sailboats are very beautiful. I like them very much and i'm making on some
Though not operational, _Cutty Sark_ would definitely fit in amongst the most beautiful tall ships. Best clipper ever build imho.
part 2
She or the Thermopylae, her eternal antagonist.
Those ships are amazing.
I am a little disappointed that so many of them are only shown moving under motor power. But nevertherless a nice compilation.
It is what they are sadky, motorized showboats. They have nothing to do with the real ones from the past just cheap mockerys for the most part.
I think by today's health and safety standards it might not be legal to ask somebody to climb up the masts.
@@personnpc590 it is illegal for ships to have no motor when entering harbors, they are considered a shippipng hazard then. Several of those frigates are fully seaworthy and can be sailed like in the olden days, but they are not allowed to enter port under sail and that is where most of them are shown.
E.g the French L'Hermione was completely built from scratch as a reproduction of a French frigate and did several voyages across the Atlantic.
yea safety regulations say you need a motor.
Yeah got to agree. Totally removes the majesty and elegance of them whatever the regulations are.
You’ve confused the two Endeavours, sadly - the small replica based in Whitby and the full scale Australian one.
yhea i saw that almost a month after lol
Amerigo Vespucci is known to be the most beautiful ship in the entire world, for prestige, elegance, quality and features, she is also very old and prestigious
As certified by no less than two American super carriers
Nothing on earth like witnessing a period sailing ship on a broad reach in choppy seas. Will never forget the sight of the Endeavour replica sailing extremely close to the Port Elizabeth SA coast en route to Australia.
Amerigo Vespucci 👍❤️🇮🇹
Thanks for beautiful video, wonderful the old sail Ships ⛵🍀🌄☮️❤️✌️
A beleza caiu de forma generalizada.... Realmente vejo que nenhum navio moderno possui tamanha beleza quanto estes que representam os antigos.
One of the most beautiful modern sailing boats I have ever seen is the Maltese Falcon, produced in Tuzla, Istanbul. But I like old style sailboats differently because they are very natural, detailed, aesthetic and spiritual. They have historical values and have brought great things to humanity
That boat is something else. Beautiful masts.
Under Italian supervision mate, the company is,Italian who built heat ship.
Know the difference between a ship n a boat??
@@mikearakelian6368 It varies depending on design, size and purpose of use. For example, if you enlarge a yacht, it becomes a super yacht, but you don't call it a ship.
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Many thanks for making video showing so many beautiful and elegant ships and also what it must have been like to face a broadside from a “100 gun triple deck first rate ship of the line” like the victory but all these old warships no long need to go to war and we can just marvel at the skill and craftsmanship it took to make them
Many, many thanks for this time travel to our ancestors of seafarers who explored generation by generation, mile by mile under sails the world for centuries. As a sailor with pride I like to keep the spirit alive of "old seamanship" with these magnificant gratious vessels.
I love the steam ship you can check on my channel the witsle of the ss delphine
Constitution and Victory are the elite class which includes only themselves - heavily blooded and undefeated warriors from battles which are still famous. As top-of-the-line warships, they were the cutting edge of military function in their era and, with form following function, to my eye they also still have the most beautiful lines of the show.
The lingering views of Constitution, closing the vid with Constitution playing Evening Colors as she did as a warship ranging the globe, are beautiful touches.
Would have loved to see Cutty Sark in the crest as the pinnacle of the surviving merchantmen.
I concure. Being from Boston I couldn't be anymore proud to have grown up around such great history, and get goosebumps every time I'm on board her, or get to see her guns salute on the 4th of July. But HMS Victory is in a class of her own.
And furthermore, they are the only two surviving ships from the 18th century, while the other ones are replicas. (Like L'Hermione or the Endeavour.)
@@antoninmathieu8701 That there are only two left is also a testament to the extreme effort and good fortune which has been needed to salvage and maintain them. By the grace of poets both came back from one foot in the grave.
@@antoninmathieu8701 USS Constellation, a sloop, is still afloat. If I remember correctly she was partially made from the timbers of the frigate Constellation, sister ship of Constitution.
@@dirus3142For a long time the frigate and the sloop of war Constellations were thought to be the same ship (as that’s what the official paperwork from the navy claimed), but in the 90s they looked back at the original designs and figured out that they couldn’t be the same ship.
Sie sind ALLE wundervoll, Grandios anzusehen .
This is amazing, thank you.
Is possible to add the homeport of each ship?
Very beautifull vidéo: Merci et Bravo!
Stunning montage, thank you for posting this
Magnifique, superbe, majestueux... !
This...🤔 This motivates me to play "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" again.😁
My favourite part begins at 10:11, No. 15. The beautiful "Kalmar Nyckel".
Great video! Thanks for sharing.🙂
I see 47 "Thumbs Down" votes on this video. Those must be the Sea Ray owners.
The music as beautiful as the ships themselves.
#8. She came to the US in 2015. She's a grand sight if there ever was one.
with Lafayette
Just a Big WOW!!!! Totally love sailing, the ships, the history. OMG
L'Hermione is the most beautiful !
Damn shame that communist Russia didn't upkeep, maintain , and preserve the Cristobal Colombo they took from Italy after WW2. . She was as big , modern , and sister ship to the Amerigo Vespucci
What people dont understand is that you cant sail one of these without wind.
So i understand when they build motors into these for the silent days.
Rly great footage!
by law all newly built tallships/sailing vessels must be motorized now. Not the Originals. The Replica of the San Salvador out of San Diego, I never got to see built but they had to motorize it.
Ehh thats not it mate...im a sailor and so far did 4 tall ship races onboard of belgian vessel rupel...the engines are installed to get in and out marinas,during a tall ship race its actually never allowed to run on engine power
@@Jeremy-ff7gv During sailing itself you're correct. You basically said what I meant. But here in the United States, the law is New Tallships must have modern drive systems for exactly what you described :) We were on the same page Bro! lol You just probably said it better than me :P
@@yeoldesaltydog7415 yea thats different than the rest of the world tho...the rupel is a vessel used back in the 1800's in the war vs napoleon tho they were forced to motorize aswell since european marinas are all very compact and small,there is no room left for a tallship to drop their sails
@@yeoldesaltydog7415 ruclips.net/video/gbK1g5H_Jv4/видео.html this the ship im talking off...those 2 sailors with beards were with me,the youngsters are after my sailing days tho
The masts of the Hermione are magnificent.
this is my passion and love there all beautiful
I am so glad there are so many of these glorious beauties. They are just so impressive.
Things used to look a lot better in the past
OMG I love you put the Hms Surprise in there Beautiful ship.!!
Oh my God ,absolutely Beautiful and has a spiritual essence to them. Awesome. I love the NOA VICTORIA, the shape of the ship is so amazing.
All beautiful, but the the Vespucci is something special.
Where's the Pearl
Thank you!
I understand the complaints from those who hate to see the motorization of these ships, but you must consider the vast manpower it takes to hoist just one sail. For instance, the USS Constitution, the last ship shown, had a compliment of over 400 just to set sail. Try finding that many able seamen today that actually know what they are doing to sail her. Not to mention the dangers of the work involved, which are many. Many sailors died falling to their deaths on the deck of such ships. Hard to find people to volunteer for such hazardous duty these days.
i guess the size of the balls is different now days
True they had a large crew, but many were "idlers" marines, carpenters ,cooks etc ,but she still needed a sailing crew of about 120 to safely manage her.
Wow!!!!!! Absolutely great video thanks so much
The Nao Victoria looked so horrifically out of place 😂😂😂 2:36
@@maxmorales1526 I more meant it's style and color where it was, but yes
I wish people would go back to tall ships (with back up engines to prevent being caught in a dead calm). They would save on fuel and wouldn't negatively impact the lives of marine mammals.
Many interesting ships, although I think the most beautiful are those that actually sail as opposed to motoring around. I'm baffled about the USS Constitution being ranked all the way down at 23, and the omission of the USCGS Eagle -- both of which actually sail occasionally!
probably a requirement for seaworthiness and safety that they are fitted with conventional engines. I'm wondering if it's hard to come by people with the experience to sail these nowadays
Love it,thanks
Too bad they didnt include the titles of the music in this video. Some of the songs are pretty Badass.
It's all about bottoms with you people, isn't it?!
It's in the description.
Beautiful, only the Batavia was trimmed short !!!!!
He lost his masts in a storm unfortunately..
Victory is on another level, it's so brutal, powerful and ornate. We're lucky she's still with us!
The world needs more tall ships!
Half of those are converted to motorsail, what a pity :(
If you want to go on the sea you need a engine it s mandatory
@@zxsp3ctrom i see.
@@zxsp3ctrom no, it's not. See for example the cargo ship "Tres Hombres".
Engines are necessary to keep a time schedule. If you book a trip from A to B, you also have to book flights from your home to A and from B back home. You surely don't want to miss your flight due to low winds.
You can go on these type of sailing ships for a holiday and you pay but you work to stay on, and no of them are motored,
Newer built ships are typically required to have at least some kind of emergency engine. Older ships have them installed for the simplest of reasons: it's just smart. Putting an engine in these makes it possible for them to dock without the assistance of tow or tug boats. It makes port and harbor entry possible in places where previously, it required far more effort than could be justified. Finally, having an engine in a storm is probably the biggest help you can have. Imagine how much easier it is to control the ship with an engine, instead of sails, when the wind is blasting 60 MPH, in the wrong direction.
8:39 ho ho, hms Surprise, the fear of french privateers and favorite guest for Galapagos))
lol, that's not the true history :) it's was agains a US ship but Hollywood don't want to saw US loosing lollll
@@siky29yeah, man, I saw History Buffs too))
She would not have stood a chance against la belle poule
We are born too late for sail ships but too early for spaceships
No you can book a voyage on the Bark Europa and sail the oceans for weeks. That ships is not sailing the oceans only when it is being maintained. The cost per night is equivalent to a cheap hotel, but you will sea the ocean and the best night skies on the world.
Can you imagine the man-hours and the cost of making that thing?
Seems mind-boggling and almost impossible to me.
Plus a forest of trees !!!!
Indeed. Even the more common 2-decker 74 gun ships of the line took a whopping 2,800 oak trees to build a single ship. A good 21' of freeboard they rose high off the water too and 180 feet of waterline to a dizzying main masthead height they took enormous skill and practice to sail and fight properly. As my sailor friend noted - those skills have long since been lost.
And yet, they built the the underwater ship first then floated it out to being the next one. Basically it was the first production line set up. At least in the Netherlands not England.
im a 76 grad , i recall the tall ships in ny/nj harbor, for the bicentennial, i joined the navy a yr later
To think our ancestors used these ships to make the world we live in today, to fight wars and to develop, it's amazing how far we have come since
I love the frigate Shtandart !!!
Infelizmente não encontrei nenhum vídeo em português sobre isso 😦😦😞😔😖😖😥
