    Just a quick point - "strict authority" on a ship was/is often a... complex topic.
    The Captain had the right to keep ORDER - which is different from authority. That order was dependent on the rest of the crew, which meant the whole crew had to WANT order. This means the Captain had to make concessions to the crew and be diplomatic.
    This was especially true of Pirates and Merchant ships - on them, the Captain could sometimes even be voted out of his position.
    Ships run by the state gave a lot more authority to the Captain, as the Captain represented the state and therefore any rebellion against the Captain could be tried in court when back in home port.

      I mean also they could be brutally beaten on the ship by the captain, in a very real way pirates kept the beating to minorly brutal since if they came across a pirate ship the crew would just mutiny against the captain rather then fight for the captain.

      One other aspect of living on a ship is that only a few people knew how to navigate on the open water. Therefore, officers held their positions because the crew relied on them to navigate home.

      serkif1 the problem there was the element of surprise. Remember it was a sudden attack, and the radar detection was also severely unprepared. We didn’t have fighters in the air to defend. Also American ships actually had some of the best anti-air defense around, and Pearl Harbor was also an excellent air base, with large flat plains around for massive runways. Pearl Harbor didn’t end the way it did because the location was bad

      General Harness the Japanese signed their death warrant in multiple ways. One way that gets overlooked is that they actually helped increase the power of the US Navy. With them destroying most of the Navy, the US had to build more ships. All of these ships were state of the art. The Japanese ships were seriously outdated compared to the brand new ships the US built.

    Sognefjorden in Norway is the longest and deepest fjord. At its mouth it is pretty shallow compared to the rest. No big cities or port is there here.

    More on life at sea; it wasnt as dull and hellish as you and many others make it out to be, mainly around the age of sail. Being a sailor for hire could be a great way to travel the world and earn your keep, like a shepherd of the sea. A sailor could be hired by the navy, in which case you are stationed on a ship until they say otherwise, or you could be hired on the docks by a company during a pit-stop for repairs/ supplies. To the best of my knowledge, simple companies didnt care who you were as long as you could work and negotiated a reasonable salary, but the navy of course would, as to prevent spies from infiltrating at will. The crew wouldnt often be too familiar with each other, and would meet along the journey, and part by the end. You could meet interesting people and see interesting places, and life aboard wasnt pure toil and strife. Around the age of sail, crew slept in hammocks to not roll among the floor, and could chat through the night, and in the day, when not working, many sang songs, played games, or listened to the onboard musicians. Large ships planning on long-term voyages may have had surgeons to perform checkups on the crew, and cooks would spend the day working as best as could to serve enjoyable dinners to the captain and other higher ups.
    Another thing to note is that, traditionally, the crew would hardly speak to the captain. That was the job of the deckhands, who kept tabs on the crew and would relay any concerns they noted to the quartermaster, who dealt with it and made sure the captain was aware of the general situation while the captain himself simply did what had to be done to keep the ship on course and steady. Whippings or hangings on deck were mostly reserved for situations that lead to mutiny, and would be dealt with by the bosun, who handled all arms aboard the ship, and on brigs or large ships would also be responsible for prisoners, commonly detained in jailhouses below deck.
    Hope this clears many things up for people and lets you all know it wasnt just scurvy and rats.

  • @jamesdoody7615

    Arguably tidal difference is less important than position for ports. I think the best example of this is the river Severn (and the river Avon that feeds into it) in England. The Severn has the second highest difference between high and low tide globally if my memory serves, but Bristol and to a much lesser extend Gloucester were major port cities due to their advantageous position and avonmouth is still in use as an cargo port to this day.

    Lisbon is protected by hills and its soil is very fertile.
    the estuary is deep (up to 80m), with a constant flow and protects from the waves (except if it is a tsunami-earthquake of 1755)
    then it still has a particular characteristic, it has mobile sandbanks. that's why ships that weren't Portuguese or escorted by a Portuguese port ship would get stuck in the sand banks, that's why lisbon was never invaded by sea.
    it was also defended by 7 forts along the estuary.
    the fact of being on the tip of europe also made land invasions very difficult, because to reach lisbon you have to cross all of spain and its mountains, the river Tagus, the potuguese mountains and the rest of the country. that is why, to free portugal from napoleonic occupation, the english arrived in the city of oporto, which is not so well protected, and then marched to lisbon along the flat terrain of the portuguese coast, because it would be impossible to take lisbon by sea.

      UnknownFury 7, the GNI are the only free elf Nations. (because all the other countries are run by the dwarves) they are also the home of the dragons, which led to the invention of dragon steel. you see, the dragons shed their scales in the spring, the elves mix the scales with iron, and that makes dragon steel, which is as strong and light as titanium, but as not as brittle. so it allows you to to make really big sharp things. the GNI also export a type of preserved eel meat, which is used to feed armies throughout the whole world. as a result of it's value as a trade partner, and how difficult it is to invade, the only wars in the GNI are internal conflicts, between the islands.

      #1 lobster dayum! I like that idea, but my question, in contrast to your world, how large are the Dwarfish regions compared to the Elvish- and are there any humans or is your world void of that??

    My story's strongest power is a trade/naval power that essentially exists an extra 3rd of the way to the americas from europe, and has dominated seafaring so well that no one can raise a navy against them, and because they are an island nation (with continental and island colonies throughout the world) no one can build the military power needed to take them. They've even started experimenting with something akin to an ironclad. Any of the best ships other nations own are made by this nation (Peligonia), and as such have to be tended to by Peligonian tradesmen (since they wont give out their secrets with their ships, They have very tricky ways to put things together so fiddling with them can destroy the ship). They also have privateers (though they won't say they do) who hunt down ships that threaten their superiority. Most nations just don't bother to since Peligonia just likes being the worlds "amazon" essentially. They only care about trade and the sea. They really don't care much for anywhere inland, so they still have to buy from other powers. Oh and they're a mix of Roman, Viking, Polish, and Scottish in culture.

    Great video, a lot of those things were really helpful, and now I know why some of my harbour citys look of. In my defense, I have never seen an ocean.
    But I don't want to be rude or stuff (as I'm not a native english speaker), but writing harbour without an 'u' just looks wierd.
