This type of projectile was particularly effective against the sails, masts, and rigging of a ship, shredding and tearing them apart.

I swear this channel grew so fast, 1 year ago I found this relatively small channel with about 500 K subs, the content was high quality so I subscribed, fast forward a year and the content has improved and Simple History has become a titan of a history channel. I watch history videos because I find them enlightening while also being incredibly engaging, the art style of this channel helps to maintain an interesting style overall. In other words, top quality history channel with great content. 9/10
During the Napoleonic Wars, the British aimed for the hulls of their enemies believing that the French and Spanish tactics of aiming at masts and rigging was usually ineffective. During the War of 1812 American frigates seemed to regularly best their British opponents in one on one combat by crippling them by hitting the main masts. I guess carrying all of that chain shot payed off.
I played Blackwake so im a professional
Blackwake more like gamerwake
Kenway, in a world without gold we could have been heroes.
Reminds me of the old days when i was a kid playing Assassins creed Black Flag IV

I learned chain shot from Napoleon Total War. Not gonna lie, this ammo are great for capturing or disable ship of the line.

Reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean and Assassin's Creed Black Flag.

I’ve seen it used once in media: when Pintel and Ragetti took down one of the Dutchman’s masts.
So those were their names.

They use it in the first movie as well

I've been getting tired of trimming my neighbor's tree branches that grow into my yard. A cannon with chain shot looks like a great solution... either it will clear out branches or decapitate the neighbors... or destroy their deck... or remove their chimney... doesn't seem very accurate.
I wouldn't recommend this method for pruning - it's too dangerous...

I think you missed one of the main reasons to use Chain Shot. Often in naval combat of the day the goal was not to sink the opponents ship but to disable it and take the ship by boarding, chain shot was very good at tanging riggin and dismasting ships. The ships crew and officers were paid prize money for taking enemy ships and capturing them to use in their own navy's.

@@thecrazytophatman7304 he might be but he’s also spitting facts, and any naval history buff knows what chain shots primary function was.

you should make a video about the undeclared war by the Allies and Switzerland
WW2 RUclipsr called Mark Felton Productions had already done it, so why should Simple History do the same?
@@warbeatler618 Simple History and many other history themed channels have done the same thing, I don't see your point...
@@superbeavers7645 If there is already a well known and popular video on the subject of "Allies vs Switzerland" then I dont see why Simple History should make a video on the exact same subject (unless they somehow add more information and talk about other things in that war etc.) They can just do a video about something else instead.

I come from the old school that played Sid Meier's Pirates!
Therefore I consider myself a expert on anything about Chain shots, dueling and dancing with the Governors daughters.
I loved sneaking through towns after getting arrested too
Man I love that game
Best game ever
Before I clicked the "read more" I just knew the last part would be dancing with governor's daughters and I'm glad I'm right. Loved that game as a kid.
I hated the dancing part.
This video looks interesting! Can’t wait to watch! Also, question for Simple History, is this a one person crew that makes the videos or a group of people?

love the 50s pause after the video and then scream right into the ears, adds so much entertainment value to your videos
Didn't even realize til this year these guys could sometimes be shooting canons at almost literal arms length. Wicked, in its original meaning.
So forget damning the torpedoes, just look out for that there chain shot its a real ball buster...
I remember on an old game called Tradewinds, i would stock up on literally as many chain shots as i could on my ship.
That's in Roblox mate.
I watched until 4:50 (Forgot to pause) and when I was looking at the comment section, randomly *HEY SIMPLE HISTORY FANS*

They were so good in Sid Meier's pirates They had to make them real!
Whenever i come up against a galleon and i see a spinning projectile i know all is lost
Loved using this in Sid Meier's Pirates so I could capture the enemy ship.
17th century: chainshot used as a weapon
21st century: BDSM
😳😳
Should be added, I think, that (according to the armoury at the Portsmouth Naval Museum) chain shots were not really used to take down the masts of ships, due to their inaccuracy, and the masts being quite small targets
They were, however, used against the sails and riggings, which were fairly large targets, comparatively, and destroying sails and riggings will make maneouver next to impossible for the vessel struck.
Oh, and they were also used on land, against tight formations of infantry (atleast, according to some sources)
Yarnhub:Better animation
Simple History:More information.
Viewer, Its your decision.
Why not both?
