Thanks again for this tour, it was amazing how it really did roll side to side, I have to say those old sailors were tuff! What a beautiful vessel, just gorgeous!
Awesome sail-a-long. Very cool to get to see the inner workings of a ship like that. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience for people like me. Thank you for the video.
This is one of those vessels that I've ever meant to build a model of, knowing that the rigging alone was going to be a immense task, no matter how visceral and basic its power under sail must be. Thanks for sharing your passage on one of history's most noteworthy vessels.
I believe the only reason those olde wooden boat sailors stayed aboard was- nothing in the world like sleeping on a wooden boat!!!! All that hard work deserves a beautiful place to rest. Why the Viking funerals exist. New Subscriber and love the production.
The orange foam that you saw on the box is a fungus (if it kind of looks like construction expanding foam). I found some on my boat that had grown inside and out through a deck mounted clutch. It is very invasive- the fungus went into the 9 mm marine ply cabin top and It had to cut out and replace a 400x 400mm section. If you find it in summer- it causes a dry rot. In winter- it causes more damage due to water logging. It also releases spores that will get any wood cracks or checking downwind so you often get break out spots on other parts or your boat. You will have to kill the fungus first before you remove it to repair the damage or it will spread.
The dutch built these old wooden warships in 6 months time back in the days, imagine that only by hand tools. They made a replica in the 80's 90's with modern tools and needed more then 10 years to build her.
Why use a varnish on the wood ? A lot of prep time for coating and subsequent necessary recoating. On boat wood I've always used boiled linseed and beeswax, and also boiled animal fat when I could get it - very easy to apply and recoat every few months.
How many crew in 1492 ? Obviously it was more, just how many more. Had someone else built another of the 3 ships back in the 1980s m? Just started subscribing and believe ill enjoy watching for the few yrs I got left in this fabulous new (I guess) digital world.
@@Wyllville thanks..I enjoyed binge watching your previous videos. That pipe was giving ya hell keeping it lit during that shop tour ! LOL...It's been time well spent just watching that. Stay safe n keep being yourself.
Beautiful ship. Very cool.
Thanks for sharing. Now I want to volunteer on one! What an epic way to share history.
Thank You for sharing. I love tall ships! 💕

What a great community to be a part of, the network of cool people helping each other is so wholesome
I agree, awesome!
Love getting to see the inner working of the ship! Also have me some heavy wanderlust
Really interesting. I had never before seen a ship steered in this way.
I toured the ship when you all were in Wilmington NC. A real treat!
That ship will keep the varnish industry in business.

Santa Maria would have had a crew of around 100. Very cramped living quarters!

How did these ships compare to the galleons and then later tall ships in seakeeping and handling?
Much the same as the early Galleons, but much much worse than the frigates and clippers of a couple hundred years later.
Im surprised you are allowed to smoke on board.
What a cool experience. Thanks for taking us along. Aloha.
