@@AndreAnyone There are a few others (Roman Legionary, Dutch East India Sailor, Roman Envoy) and Im finishing up the Viking to Constantinople series this week. So stay tuned and thanks for watching!

It really is. I only used it for the first 2 episodes as it was merchant marine but was able to use it to flesh out the backstory before military service :) Cheers!
I need more naval history episodes I’ve listened to these dozens of times. Your voice and the stories are the perfect way to relax and get to sleep!!! Please keep doing these brother
The current Silk Road envoy will be naval :) Mind you naval in 165 :) But naval...they will be taking the Maritime route as the actual Roman envoy did. HOpefully its down your alley...if not more in the future im sure! Thanks for the kind words!
Excellent presentation! I was aware of Hodges diary that went up for auction several years ago. My hope is that whoever purchased it would allow for the diary to be published in book form for the general public. As of this date, I've not seen such a publication. Nevertheless, you've done an outstanding job of articulating life on a frigate in the 18th/19th century. I'm now a very happy subscriber. Splendid!
Thanks for watching and yes, the diary served as the basis for the first three episodes of the series (first 30 mins of full show). Appreciate the kind words, was a fun series to make.
My 3 times Gt Grandfather came from St Kitts. Joined the Royal Navy in 1801 and saw action in the English Channel and in the West Indies. Royal Navy records kept at the National Archives in London England are amazing. Pay books and ships logs cover practically every ship in Nelson's navy and beyond.
That is SO awesome Keith. I have my Dutch ancestral family tree into the 1600s but the closest my relatives came was doing inland shipping on canals lol. Very cool and so fortunate that you have access to that piece of history. I have to visit those archives at least once in my life! Cheers.
Brothers let us take a moment to thank God for letting us live during an Era nowhere near as harsh and one where for the first time in history we men can avoid such harsh life. We may have to work hard but we're infinitely more at liberty and ease than vast majority of Males in prior generations and centuries. Let us be thankful every day.
Cheers Rob. I have quite a few series like this. Viking one will have it's part 4 within a week as well. Then ill be doing some Victorian crime putting you in the role of a street urchin turned criminal in Victorian London. Also a Roman Legionary during Invasion of Britain etc.
@@YoreHistory Oh wow, I will be watching everything you just mentioned and more. Can I ask where you find your source material? Cuz the type of content you're producing is exactly the type I search for. It should also carve out a nice niche for your channel, which I hope continues to grow and be successful.
@@whitetrashrobofficial1769 Thanks Rob. I use historical text for the chronological times, places, events and the character and plot that drives the character through those events is fictional. In the British sailor series I used a merchant diary of an American sailor to heavily inspire the events of the first two episodes (Hawaii/Canton) but the rest are in the description as source material including the diary. Cheers so far so good channel is growing :)
Sailing for five days in a hurricane?! Insanity. Jesus. I can’t believe the delicious justice/revenge he got on McGee. Guy’s early life was like a movie.
Haha cheers. The hurricane was actually based on a documented hurricane that ravaged the area, catching many ships in its clutches. McGee was fictional but im sure a "prick" like him existed on every 2nd ship :)
@ Your ability to detect sarcasm (more in tongue cheek really) is prodigious. Anyway, in terms of credulity, you do realize ships have survived multiple days in hurricanes and/or tropical storms before, right? You do also realize that this was a dramatized account of an actual person’s life, correct? Basically an “inspired by a true story” tale.
I have a new series that just started "Roman Envoy" and will be completing the Viking series next (1 to 2 weeks) which sees you as a Viking Warrior heading to Constantinople. LOTS more like this coming. Thanks for watching!
What a great piece of history & what an incredible life this sailor led ! His revenge on McGee was extremely satisfying. Fantastic job narrating & loved the visuals as well !
The bit about kissing the queens and tasty banana is i believe an excerpt from charles tyng's memoirs who was an American captain though its not mentioned in the description. He also said that he ate a meal there made from dogmeat and it tasted pretty good
I very very very rarely subscribe to anything ever. Sometimes my kids use my phone and accidentally subscribe to stuff, but I love your content so much I’m definitely a subscriber. This is my favorite channel
As you probably know by my name, I'm in to this. Just found your channel. As easy of a subscribe as I've ever had. What a great listen. This was basically an audiobook that I enjoyed all the way through.
Cheers Horatio! I have two other sailing ones in this format...a 17th Century Dutch sailor series and a new one on the Roman Envoys who sailed to China in AD195. And some other non sailing ones in this format with more coming! Thanks for watching!
Great to hear. More coming like this...also the Roman and Dutch sailor one plus a new one on Roman silk trade route (by sea) that will be out in a few days.
1:10:00 the Pophams signal system could not be learned by crew members since it used a code book held by the captain. The books were bound into lead covers so that they could be sunk before falling into enemy hands.
Before the wind, the memoir of an American sea captain by Charles Tyng 1808-1833. The first 15 mins of this video bears a striking resemblance to the story told by the captain of his first setting to sea.
I messaged you in the other chat...yes exactly where I got the inspiration for. I was looking up what you posted and got something about a south african family sailing etc which is not anything I had read. But yes the American sea captain is definitely where a lot of the first 2 are based on :)
This is fantastic work, I really appreciate this guy’s efforts. So immersive it makes it easy to get through a hard work day. Keep up the great work! 💪🏽💪🏽
At 1:00:00 you show the British flag without the cross of St Patrick. The flag shown was abandoned a few years earlier in 1801 and replaced with the current flag of the UK.
Definitely a few editing mistakes. I am a team of 1...believe me I see them too but too late to change it after the fact :) I just try to improve with my newer series.
Which are you referring to? Everything apart from the main character was taken from historical sources/events etc. Just curious which you are referring to :) Cheers!
The First Lord of the Admiralty demands the old-established custom of holding naval courts-martial following the loss of ships of the Royal Navy in order to determine the circumstances of such loss, is being adhered to; whether such courts-martial have been held as to the sinking of His Majesty's Ship "Glorious"; and what were the findings of the courts. In the program it was mentioned that there was a rumor that the Captain had faced a Courts Martial. There was no shame in such a trial when the Captain acted properly in the commission of his duty, resulting in the loss of the ship.
@@astralclub5964 Absolutely but the lack of social media and access for the layman...rumours would have undoubtedly run wild...at least that was my speculation in writing it that way. However, you are 100% correct :)
They certainly didn't regard childhood with the near sancity we do now...well...depending on your class, of course. It's interesting these journals and diaries that have only recently come to light. A fascinating one is the Journal of Jacob Nagle who had a LONG career at sea from 1775 to 1841. And from serving in the American Revolution to the British Royal Navy, and then commercial ships thereafter. It only appeared in 1980 to initial disbelief until verified against service records. Not a wonderful life. But he was proud of it.
I mean, may sound odd but I attribute it to antibiotics, our as you said sanctification of childhood. Many, many children died before they were adults before the advent of a) germ theory and b) the aforementioned antibiotics. But it is very interesting. Jacob Nagle? 1775 to 1841?! DAMN, I understand why people doubted it's veracity. I should check that out, sounds very ineresting. Guy lived during the pre-napoleonic, through the entire napoleonic era, and even into post napoleanic and the very, very, very beginning of the end of the age of sail. Damn. That's incredible, I will try and get a copy of that. Thank you very much,
This documentary of a sailors diary while serving on a transport ship in the early 1800's is fantastic. This young man that recorded his adventures, his troubles, the barbaric treatment he received from those above him was despicable and cruel, and that's being kind to these savages. What a tough life the average sailor had on board a early 1800's sailing ship.
Really enjoying your stories. Great job! Hey, when describing the watch schedule you used "port" instead of "larboard". Four or five decades later, they started using port to describe that side of the ship (or boat).
I had researched that the term was in use from 1543 on (Oxford Dictionary) and a few of the sources I referenced but I am NOT an expert on the term so apologies if used incorrectly. I try my best to make everything as factual as possible in terms of naming, times, events, ships etc but mistakes do creep in. Thanks for watching and enjoying, cheers!
Love me painting some minis...mine are usually for tabletop role playing like D&D or wargames. I do have to get more into board games...I have Gloomhaven and cracked it open but not played it yet.
No I agree 100%. The biggest turn off for me with a channel is when I hear the bot fake voice...any accent it just drives me nuts. I want to hear real people, real emotions.
I dont know if anyone noticed but Napoleon died on St.Helena in the middle of the south atlantic, he was exiled to elba which is just west of Italy, but escaped and simply waltzed back to france and took control of the army again, he was then defeated for a second time, which led to him being exiled to Britain's Island for people it wanted to forget about
Remember the diary only served as inspiration for the first two episodes...I changed a lot. IE Made him British instead of American, changed names, places etc. Thanks for watching!

Amazing he knew how to write and read.
It was almost 50/50. In 1800 literacy rate for males in Britain was about 40%, so not amazing but definitely on the right side of literacy :)
It’s still about 50/50 today, considering English was invented in England most people here fail to have a basic command of it, sadly.
@Rob .P lol no comment.
I dont know if anyone noticed but Napoleon died on St.Helena in the middle of the south atlantic, he was exiled to elba which is just west of Italy, but escaped and simply waltzed back to france and took control of the army again, he was then defeated for a second time, which led to him being exiled to Britain's Island for people it wanted to forget about
Believe me I noticed...unfortunately I can't edit in hindsight...but yes that somehow slipped past me in editing.
Amazing, amazing content.
Fantastic thank you
I think you got the name wrong BTW. His name was George Hodge. Not Charles. Amazing video nonetheless. I was spellbound throughout.
