Bit of a joke, really. Half the ships on this list are not "ancient". About five are modern, i.e., within the last 200 years or so. Sloppy scholarship all round.
The Portuguese Caravela was a revolutionary type of ship that carried the first Portuguese explorers in multiple voyages along the African coast and which eventually carried them to India and South America. It was a small ship that could sail almost directly into the wind, with triangular sails and which could hug the coast and even travel upriver, in the deeper estuaries. It was the ship that ushered in the European expansion to the outside world. Columbus’ fleet to the New World contained a number of Caravels. Columbus had lived for 30 years in Portugal, was married to a Portuguese noble woman and certainly knew of the capabilities of this type of ship.
It's a big miss on this list, so are the Naus from the India's trade routes after we discovered the way to get there. It's said that those were massive boats.
Very nice video! Thank you for learning about the ship! :) If you want to learn about the swedish ship Vasa, see here: ua-cam.com/video/T00ADEVY4xo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Historiepodden

Flying Cloud set her 89 day 4 hour record while carrying cargo. She was a working ship. Her record was beaten by a (relatively) modern racing yacht that had no purpose but speed.
The São João Baptista (English: Saint John the Baptist), commonly known as the Botafogo, was a Portuguese galleon warship built in the 16th century, around 1534, considered the biggest and most powerful warship in the world at the time. This ship could carry 366 bronze cannons, and had an artillery power of 1,000 tons. For this reason, it became known as Botafogo, meaning literally fire maker or spitfire in popular Portuguese.
No one speak of the portuguese ships, because the world just know about americans, inglish, and other people that doesn´t exist no more, but remember their ships...lol The portuguese the first and global ultramarine empire, made the evolution of the sail and various nautical instruments, the first back charged cannons are made by the portuguese. The world at that time, seek the nautical cartography made by the portuguese. Portugal reinvented the maritime artilhery, they arm any ship with massive cannons in few numbers, gived hem eficiency. The first pre charged cannons are made by the portuguese.
You should've included the "Vasa" :) Even though it literally sank during its maiden voyage it was a beast of a ship and you can see it with your own eyes in the Vasa museum
@@Sinister_fartbox What? sink? It departed on its maiden voyage, and successfully made for the depths soon after its launch! It submerged! It didn't sink, it's a submarine!
Also the swedish ship Kalmar Nyckel build in Holland that sailed between Sweden and USA and the swedish built ship Goteborg that maid many trips to China. A replica of Kalmar Nyckel was built in USA and is used as a school ship and a replica of Goteborg is right now on its way to visit China again.
Good video but according to the definition of ancient , you need to be at least 1500 years old . That eliminates about half of your vessels. In my opinion.
The Portuguese galleon "BotaFogo" was the largest and most powerfull ship in the 16 century. 366 ( cannons ) wich was impressive at the time... and yet you do not mention it in this video! SHAME ON YOU!!!
You completely forgot the Polynesian vessels. They travelled the Oceans bringing their own crops and spread all over the darkest parts of the unknown islands.
hms St Lawrence was built at Kingston Ontario Canada on Lake Ontario in 1812 during the war between the USA and UK. She very similar in size and guns as HMS Victory with three gun decks . She eventually was abandoned near she was built. One of her 32 pounder guns can be found to this day in North York grave yard in Toronto Ontario.
Navy Engineer here. It seems unlikely the Siracusia was able to carry 1800 Tons and 2000 people. The HMS victory has the same dimensions and the displacement is around 2200 Tons. If it would be up to standard in technology it could carry about 1800 Tons safely, but where would the people go? Assuming the deck is completely clear of objects it would be 770 square meters. If all a board would be on the main deck there would be around 0.3 square meters per person...
62 chinese 440 by 180 feet (lol 1) wooden ships (lol 2) at the beginning of 15 st. (lol 3) - is OK! Siracusia ("...details are not known...suggested....") - is fail! Great job navy engineer!
The advantage of sailing-ships was that they could adept at every wind-strength when de-loaded. The modern ships need the turn-over-effect to equilibre that. - A question of calculation!
I noticed that the Canadian ship, The Bluenose, which was forever remembered on that counties dime piece, but was known to be a super fast ship, that was a racing and fishing vessel! Maybe because it's history didn't go far back enough for this story? But it's history is still worthy of noting!
Constitution is now my favorite named ship :D. Imagine "constitution" blasting everything in its path thats unconstitutional including central bank of US. Good one George.
Another cool bit of info for you: Her nickname is "Old Ironsides" because of how thick her hull was and the wood it was made of, most of the time cannonballs would just bounce off of it!
@@keithreinsel7842 Very cool. Early US is a nation that could have truly be free of financial systems and kings and queens. US constitution was one of the best on planet especially right to bear arms. hey just made one mistake.

@@keithreinsel7842 The type of wood she was built from was white oak. Found here in America.🇺🇸 Oh, B.T.W. the same wood bowling alleys use. Very sturdy! 💪
@@keithreinsel7842 if you’ve ever seen Master and Commander the French ship was originally an American ship based on Old Ironsides but it was changed for the movie because they didn’t want to trigger Americans.
As a kid, I built models of The Cutty Sark, Old Ironsides and the HMS Victory...plus I stood on the decks of the replica Santa Maria in Barcelona and the Nina replica when it visited in Seatlle. I couldn't believe how small the Santa Maria and Nina were. Those guys were brave.
I've always wandered how the viking ships did so well as they never seemed to have any protection for the crew from the elements, which at sea are extremely harsh.
During a storm the sail would be tied over the open area, affording some protection. It should be noted that these ships did not actually make long voyages (look at a map of the North Sea, it's more like the Mediterranean than the Atlantic). Yes, the Northmen made it to the Americas, but they did it by going from Iceland to Greenland, then Greenland to Labrador, so they would only be at sea for a few weeks at most. The truly great open ocean sailors were the Chinese of the 15th Century, who sailed as far as the east coast of Africa and into the Red Sea, as well as all over the western Pacific, Indonesia, the Indian Ocean, etc. They were very large ships with hundreds of crew.
Real Vikings didn’t need any protection from the elements. They were tough, not like those namby-pamby Romans. Read “How to train your dragon” to find out how tough they were.
These are definitely 15 ships of all time, they were built by the most and entirely existent craftsmen of their time, they were introduced in and were used in their time and they were all more advanced than a raft.
why in my imagination do i see in the final battle of the us existence the us constitution sails alone against a fleet of modern warships and is absolutley obliterated lmao
What about the vessels in use by the Polynesians? They sailed the Pacific without benefits of navigational tools used by the Europeans. For centuries before they were discovered. I think they need some recognition here.
It's correct that the Polynesian ocean going 'canoes' should be recognized. The big Fijian drua were massive twin-hulled lateen-sail- rigged vessels that could literally sail rings around Captain Cook's ship in any winds. They migrated throughout the Pacific which is three times wider than the Atlantic ocean.
We had the pleasure of touring the Cutty Sark last year- very informative! The ship is actually visible on all sides do to its unique "display case". So you can comfortably walk under the hull, admiring the handiwork of its builders.
Close but no Cigar - short SHIRT, plus she was the fastest Clipper on the Australian WOOL run, not the China Tea trade (speed important to be first back with new season tea- best prices! the Clipper`s `raison d`etre`), that record being held by Cutty`s famous rival, Thermopylae, although many believe our Heroine was faster and lost only due to losing her rudder in bad weather during one season`s `race`. I`m glad you`ve seen our lovely ship, ONE visit is never enough!

Not a single word about the Caravel...no discoveries all over the world without the Caravel which made it possible to cross winds and sail over the equator
A staple of ancient Mediterranean naval warfare, the trireme was a fast and maneuverable vessel propelled by three banks of oarsmen. Its sleek design and formidable ram made it a dominant force in naval battles.
When I was a child, our classroom got to do a tour of Boston Harbor. along with so many other places to see that day I will never forget, one was the tour of the USS Constitution (also known as Old Ironsides).
Again to say The HMS victory is an ancient ship would be incorrect, ancient refers to the period before 1450, the Victory was made around 1750’s-1760’s
Come on, I love the theme and the video, but you cannot seriously forget to include any Dutch vessel …. Our tiny little country ‘ruled the waves’ long before the British did and that was precisely because of our shipbuilding!
You should make a video talking about that Portuguese tecnology and the first ships from “Vasco da Gama” flleet that were the very first to circul navigate two diferent oceans
Viking long ships we’re fast but not able to board ships. Also the sun stone wasn’t invented by the Vikings and even the Egyptians were using lead lines to navigate the sea way before Viking excised
Wonderfull vid!! But I agree to someone below, the "Vasa" is missing. But maybe more ships I can´t recall right now. I´d personally would have liked the mentioning of the Koggen of the european Hanse, too. But anyway. Great vid!!
Right, the ship is an estimate of what the ship might had looked like. Not sure why it would be so high on the list. Certainly not as historic or amazing as the USS Constitution.
My problem with your video is the lack of information that made them more advanced than their counterparts. I do know some of the improvements done, and or the unique build designs of these ships, but most people don't.
Hms victory is the most powerful out of all of these. She would tear up any enemy vessel for hundreds of year's, she had no equal even when she was outdated.
Actually there was equal ships of her size and caliber made by both France and Spain, such as Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad, which had at 1802 140 guns total and the Ocean class ship of the line series (16 total ships) made by the french between 1788 and 1854 which had 118 guns. Victory had a total of 104 guns in comparison.
Hms victory was a very strong ship. Most ships of the time were constructed slowly to allow the wood to mature and season, 3 to 5 years roughly for a first rate to be built. But she was laid up for the first I think it was 12 years but over that time the extra maturing and seasoning of the wood made her all the stronger for it.
No surprises when it was done by América the vidro, where is the Portuguese Caravelle that changed world history, the Portuguese carrack that changed trade, the Portuguese man at war that chapel the first empire of Europe in the east. Where is the biggest carrack ever build, etc etc etc. Shame on the video but it’s a very Anglo Saxon way of looking to the world.
@@FlatlandMando not only that but it was an amazing schooner she was the fastest and she worked fishing not just a little fishing to say she fished she was a fishing schooner first and raced second and her captain Angus Walters was like they were one.
Gotta love these videos, you failed to mention many that are much more important than most represented here, like the Portuguese Caravel that was used to start the Age of Discovery or the São João Baptista (galleon) that in 1534 had 366 cannons for example.
Now where is HMS Warrior?? It was the best naval ship of its time hugely ahead of other countries navys. And you just mention random galleons like Queen Annes revenge? This isnt really thought through isn't it? Just random ships to fill the video idea.
It would have been a hard life sailing the seas in a viking ship. Having no cabin to protect you from the elements. Also, I wonder what they were eating during their voyages.
Not too bad at least compared to any other sailing vessel before the advent of cans and refeigeration. They mainly ate salted meat of all kinds mostly fish, beef and mutton. They fished during the voyage as well as frequently keeping chickens for eggs. They drank water, beer and sour milk. Cooking was only done on land if they spotted some island along the way for instance. But yes being a sailor on a 19th century frigate was a lot more comfortable than a long boat. They also mostly didn't sail during winter, at least not long distances.
The best is junk boat sailed by Javanese sailormen from first century. The ship traveled across south africa, egypt. What made it best is that the ship was so big, the sailors often took family and livestock along with it. Also the fact that their staple, rice was/is easier to store compare to wheat made ration problem non-existence.
Excellent and end informative! The background music however is far too loud and hypnotic to really enjoy because its hard to hear beyond it. Good content though!
When Vasco de Gama was trying to reach India, he was scared to cross Indian ocean.. Well, there were 8 ships who were travelling from South Africa towards India.. His ship was guided to Indian subcontinent by these... Each ship was almost 6-8 times bigger than his ship, while his was the biggest in Europe.. The captain of this group of ships, was "Kanha".. And still there is no mention of those... I think, you need to discover more about ancient Indian naval / merchant ships...
@@shivanshpandit1750 Haan bhai... Aapko to aap ka history angrezon se hi likhwana hain na.. Sirf naam mein pandit mat likhiye... Kuchh padh kar bhi dekhiye.. And, your language of using the words like "Bakchodi" shows your level of knowledge..
Gotta love people being extremely patriotic for no reason. Sure India was a naval superpower with the biggest, most powerful ships at the time. Thats why they have pretty much no naval acomplishments. While europeans were mapping the world in their small shitty ships, indians were travelling a few days at a time in the most complex engineered ships at the time, right?

Yes but evidence suggests that the ancient people were probably more advanced than we thought. ;)

Warships are amazing these are right next to them
My grandfather's old Buick should be on this list
You should make a video talking about that Portuguese tecnology and the first ships from “Vasco da Gama” flleet that were the very first to circul navigate two diferent oceans
Chris Kane always goes down with his ship.
How could you forget the HMS Erebus and Terror? Extremely advanced for their time..
Between the Viking long ships and their invention of the sun stone for navigation they were Unstoppable virtually
Viking long ships we’re fast but not able to board ships. Also the sun stone wasn’t invented by the Vikings and even the Egyptians were using lead lines to navigate the sea way before Viking excised
Give Canada its due. The Bluenose 2 is still in service. Check it out in Lunenburg Nova Scotia.Its beautiful.
Bluenose 2 was built in 1962….
surprised Bluenose not on this list
I just said the same thing
The khufu looks so sick
4:10 There is no possible way 2000 people could fit on a 180 foot vessel. More like 200...MAX!
Piling up one above the other *. . . ;-)*
Yeah I think maybe they meant meters?
@@aaronwatkins8973 ...I think you're right.
HMS Victory 15,…….. Viking longboat 14! Wtf!!!!!…..
16:43 The lack or co-ordination is making me feel nauseous.
What about fregatten jylland ? Wich still exist and can be visited in ebeltoft
Impressive indeed! Ahoy! Yes Captain! 🌍🕊
_Antique ships:_ heating and plumbing.
_Medieval ships:_ *poop-deck*
Wonderfull vid!! But I agree to someone below, the "Vasa" is missing. But maybe more ships I can´t recall right now. I´d personally would have liked the mentioning of the Koggen of the european Hanse, too. But anyway. Great vid!!
Battle of Trafalgar 21. October 1805 not 1803

Hello Mr.Beast kkkkk
Thank you 🙏🏻
Stop spamming your crap here on this channel. I get enough of your crap under Markiplier, Jacksepticeye and Pewdiepie's channels. Get lost, bot.
@@Abraaoyt it's a stupid bot. Ignore them and report them.
@@jayleigh4642 it's a stupid bot. Just ignore them and report them.
During the section on Queen Anne's Revenge, what is the ship in the footage? I've watched the clip twice but can see no mention of it.
Right, the ship is an estimate of what the ship might had looked like. Not sure why it would be so high on the list. Certainly not as historic or amazing as the USS Constitution.
The Virginia, built by the members of the Popham Colony in Maine between 1607-08, was the first ship constructed in North America.
The failed to mention the CSS Virginia too, which was the first Iron clad wooden ship making all other ships obsolete
I visited the Victory, never forget it❤
My problem with your video is the lack of information that made them more advanced than their counterparts. I do know some of the improvements done, and or the unique build designs of these ships, but most people don't.
Family over everything else 💯 ❤️ 💙 🙏 💕
The first three are trully badasses.Constitution,blackbeards one and Cutty Sark.
I just love this guys voice !
Hms victory is the most powerful out of all of these. She would tear up any enemy vessel for hundreds of year's, she had no equal even when she was outdated.
Very impressive and powerful ship, but only actively served for about 60 years
Actually there was equal ships of her size and caliber made by both France and Spain, such as Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad, which had at 1802 140 guns total and the Ocean class ship of the line series (16 total ships) made by the french between 1788 and 1854 which had 118 guns. Victory had a total of 104 guns in comparison.
Hms victory was a very strong ship. Most ships of the time were constructed slowly to allow the wood to mature and season, 3 to 5 years roughly for a first rate to be built. But she was laid up for the first I think it was 12 years but over that time the extra maturing and seasoning of the wood made her all the stronger for it.
Not anymore she isn't. USS Constitution is still seaworthy unlike HMS Victory.
No surprises when it was done by América the vidro, where is the Portuguese Caravelle that changed world history, the Portuguese carrack that changed trade, the Portuguese man at war that chapel the first empire of Europe in the east. Where is the biggest carrack ever build, etc etc etc. Shame on the video but it’s a very Anglo Saxon way of looking to the world.
I can't believe you left out the Bluenoese to me it could of bumped quite a few of these ships.
Certainly would have been a nod to Canadian ship- builders & mariners
@@FlatlandMando not only that but it was an amazing schooner she was the fastest and she worked fishing not just a little fishing to say she fished she was a fishing schooner first and raced second and her captain Angus Walters was like they were one.
I think the SantaMaria was a little larger: 28 m. Builded in Spain.
BUILT, not builded. stupido 🤐
Gotta love these videos, you failed to mention many that are much more important than most represented here, like the Portuguese Caravel that was used to start the Age of Discovery or the São João Baptista (galleon) that in 1534 had 366 cannons for example.
Now where is HMS Warrior?? It was the best naval ship of its time hugely ahead of other countries navys. And you just mention random galleons like Queen Annes revenge? This isnt really thought through isn't it? Just random ships to fill the video idea.
QAR was a french merchantman not a galleon
It would have been a hard life sailing the seas in a viking ship. Having no cabin to protect you from the elements. Also, I wonder what they were eating during their voyages.
Not too bad at least compared to any other sailing vessel before the advent of cans and refeigeration. They mainly ate salted meat of all kinds mostly fish, beef and mutton. They fished during the voyage as well as frequently keeping chickens for eggs. They drank water, beer and sour milk. Cooking was only done on land if they spotted some island along the way for instance. But yes being a sailor on a 19th century frigate was a lot more comfortable than a long boat. They also mostly didn't sail during winter, at least not long distances.
The best is junk boat sailed by Javanese sailormen from first century. The ship traveled across south africa, egypt. What made it best is that the ship was so big, the sailors often took family and livestock along with it. Also the fact that their staple, rice was/is easier to store compare to wheat made ration problem non-existence.
Trafalgar's battle: october 1805, not 1803.
exactly, 1803 is wrong
Excellent and end informative! The background music however is far too loud and hypnotic to really enjoy because its hard to hear beyond it. Good content though!
Beautiful ships
XVII La grace Czech Giant ship firts shipping bohemia built
Trafalgar 21st October 1805
The Bluenose !
my boat, a Nordisk Snekke 29, has a design based on an old long boat design.
Also Mahmudiye. Largest wooden ship of the 19th century
Now I want to go watch Black Sails again.
No mention of the bluenose?
Not mentioning the Botafogo or the Portuguese Caravelas made this video kinda nonsense.
I miss the "Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad" in this list...
When Vasco de Gama was trying to reach India, he was scared to cross Indian ocean.. Well, there were 8 ships who were travelling from South Africa towards India.. His ship was guided to Indian subcontinent by these... Each ship was almost 6-8 times bigger than his ship, while his was the biggest in Europe.. The captain of this group of ships, was "Kanha".. And still there is no mention of those... I think, you need to discover more about ancient Indian naval / merchant ships...
Complete bullsht. History, not bharati nonsense.
Kya bakchodi hai ye
@@郑颍 ignore these guys
@@shivanshpandit1750 Haan bhai... Aapko to aap ka history angrezon se hi likhwana hain na.. Sirf naam mein pandit mat likhiye... Kuchh padh kar bhi dekhiye.. And, your language of using the words like "Bakchodi" shows your level of knowledge..
Gotta love people being extremely patriotic for no reason. Sure India was a naval superpower with the biggest, most powerful ships at the time. Thats why they have pretty much no naval acomplishments. While europeans were mapping the world in their small shitty ships, indians were travelling a few days at a time in the most complex engineered ships at the time, right?
Meantime the Polynesians were cruising the biggest ocean on the planet with double hull waka (catamaran)
Very good video please keep them coming
Very interesting presentation but I can't believe you didn't mention the USS Constitution nickname (Old Ironsides) and why she was given the name.
The victory is a bucket list visit amazing
As always, useful and informative videos
And lots of wrong information.
