15 AMAZING Medieval Ships

The medieval period marked a massive increase in shipbuilding. After a period of instability in Europe, ships began to be built so that European wars and trade routes could be expanded. At the same time, other areas of the globe were also improving their ships in order to interact with the world around them. This ultimately led to the Age of Exploration and both mass globalization and colonization. So today, get ready to set sail and learn about how this change became at all possible as we go through the Top 15 Amazing Medieval Ships!

I got to live and sail on a caravel. It was a replica of La Niña and it was made all of Brazilian tropical hardwood using traditional techniques and was in some ways better than the originals due to the superior quality of wood.
Climbing the rigging without rat lines and hauling the anchor by hand could be a little daunting, but it was a great three months!

Gonna be honest I would love to see these ships in person.

I note the Eurocentric approach. Nothing about the Pacific and its diverse multi hull voyaging canoes and outriggers. These were skilled navigators and explorers who ventured over the Pacific which covers one third of the earths surface. Large vaka, double hulled canoes were made without iron or steel tools. Coral, shell and stone were all that was available. These vessels were fast, stable and safe, totally constructed from local material. The designs came from the Lapita peoples from Melanesia over 3000 years ago, who settled in Tonga, Samoa and Fiji before moving on to Eastern Polynesia and last of all New Zealand.

The Hansiatic League used the Cog. The hulk was an unservicable moored or agroind, used as accommodation for sailers or as prisons.

Am I the only one who finds it really irritating that the illustrations don't seem to have any relation to the ships they're discussing for a lot of this? Really poorly researched, for the hulk they just googled the name and ended up showing pictures of prison hulks which were a 19th-century invention...
Plenty of good videos about ships on youtube but this ain't one of them

[@shivanshgilhotra701]

I appreciate contribution of Scandinavian ships
But u may also check marathas and cholas war ships and kalinga's trade ships
These were huge naval power during medieval india

[@okeefenokeetheseventeenth2200]

Fake. There was never such a ship as depicted in the screenshot above. Fakes turn me off and away, so I won't waste my time watching anything with fake or false information.I would expect false ship depictions inside this video, too, probably even mixing up epochs, ship types with each other...

[@sethkaicer319]

Chris Kane convinced Captain Bligh that flogging people was never an option.😢

[@chriskane1]

I instead convinced him that walking the plank was a better option.

[@tetedur377]

So, basically, Chris Kane was kink shaming Captain Bligh?

[@chriskane1]

@@tetedur377 Aye aye.

[@rebeccahill5146]

Love your videos! Thank you!!

[@adiakiyes6354]

This should be followed right after "Notorious pirates in history" but it's ok. All the ships are beautiful and magnificent.

[@samajier2566]
