I love your videos. Always both entertaining and educational. This is a very sad story though. Health and safety rules and laws have come a long way since then. Looking forward to the next one.⛵
Richard Woodman has written a series of books about Nathaniel Drinkwater's fictional adventures between 1780 and 1845 or so, mainly within the Napoleonic wars. They are very well written and well worth reading (IMHO!) Drinkwater was a Midshipman in 1780, in the first book, but the second is about 20 years later, with him having gone to Trinity House as a pilot, never having been promoted to Lieutenant. The final book in the series fills in this gap. Drinkwater was on board Royal George presenting his papers to Kempenfelt to be passed for Lieutenant, when the ship sank. Drinkwater managed to escape, but his papers were lost, hence no promotion. Its a very good description of what might have happened.
Another interesting video about an event few people know. One important fact worthwhile to mention is how most people at that time could not swim. Also, ships had no or very few lifeboats. The US Navy did start to systematically train to swim all sailors only during the 1930s.
Always look forward to your presentations, history with some fun added! Interesting fact about disasters like this, many times there are a lot of opportunities to prevent it that are missed. Sometimes easy to see only in retrospect but many times should have been seen before the disaster happened. Hopefully we learn a little each time. Great work, really enjoy it.
Fascinating as usual... not sure if you do recommendations but I think you'll not only find it fascinating but I'd love to see you do a video on Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle... a remarkable women who is sadly all to easily forgotten these days.
Informative as always.
Impressive! & well researched, thank you :)

Great job, quality work as always, and a fun to watch. Did you make that costume yourself? Its very fetching, and if you made it yourself great job.
Great story Catherine thankyou for taking the time to do this .....
The legal scrutiny of this event is so compelling. I like how you address the incentive structures at play.
Captain Warr would’ve been an incredible pirate name.
Presented in a very informative, educational but also entertaining way which does not move into poor taste. Excellent
Absolutely wonderful video! Thank you for such phenomenal story telling
I so love this channel!

The puns in this were brilliant, great video and well presented
Brilliant as always.
Great video! You should do a collaboration with Drachinifel if you're considering doing more naval stuff. :)
1200 people onboard a single ship is mind boggling. I never would have imagined it was possible to have that many at the time.
A'reyt Catherine. Film like Titanic to follow? A survivor returns to the ship with a new fangled diving recovery team, as described.

You could’ve squeezed in some more water and hole puns.
