13:03 towing a ship using row boats was not unheard of, during the battle of the Spanish armada Drake did use that tactic to drag his ships into battle when the wind dropped at a critical point, although his galleons were only a fraction of the size and weight of a ship like the Victory, (his own ship the HMS Revenge weighed about 500 tons, about the weight of Victorys ballast and cannonballs)and had a crew of about 260) it's also the same principle as a tugboat.
Interesting thanks for updating us!!
10:15 they loop there, because the lines drawn were as close to the wind as they could effectively sail, then to gain against the wind they would have to turn around and sail as close as they could to the other angle with the wind. If you were to overlap the longer lines you would see the angle where hms victory would be against the wind. Zig zagging up wind
Thanks for the clarification.
Glad to see you guys reacting to the other half of the series...I bet you will have a whole new view of Master and Commander the film the next time you watch it. LOL
You guys were joking about dropping the anchor in the Marianas Trench, and in answer to your question...they would raise the anchor back up long before they would let all the chain and rope holding it run out all the way. But really, they would always check the depth of the water using the lead to make sure it was shallow enough before they ever dropped the anchor in the first place.
I have been to both the Greenwich complex in London and to the HMS Victory in Portsmouth...you will want to allow for at least 2 days at each location, depending on how much you love the history on display. At Greenwich there is a Naval museum and the museum attached to the Observatory, and then there is the whole Cutty Sark to see...definitely 2 days worth of history learning there. And at Portsmouth? WOW! There is Victory, but then there is also HMS Warrior AND the Mary Rose to see, plus a complex of at least half a dozen buildings with museum displays in them...and all that may be 2 days for you by itself. Add to that a visit to the Submarine Museum complex at Gosport...which is accessible by a water shuttle from Portsmouth...and I could see that being a 3 day visit.😁
Remember beer was more safe than water at the time
True the brewing process destroyed the bacteria in the water and also beer was not as strong as it is today, it had an alcohol content about half that of an IPA today.
Awesome reaction! I hope I will be able to visit HMS Victory one day myself. There are only a handful of truly legendary museum warships, and she is perhaps the most important one. There are others like USS Texas (the last surviving Dreadnaught), IJN Mikasa (the last surviving Pre-Dreadnaught) or the cruiser Aurora in Saint Petersburg, a veteran of the Battle of Tsushima, but the Victory is a category of her own.
Btw., if you visit Greenwich, don't miss out on HMS Belfast. She is one of the last surviving british warships from WW2, a cruiser that is moored near the Tower of London.
also check out the USS constitution, its the oldest surviving sailable warship. Constitution has all of its rigging and ropes while victory does not and is sat always in dry dock.
Would love to see you guys do a proper Napoleonic type competition and even maybe try out re-enacting (I definitely think both of you would look quite swell in red and blue. Tho I’d definitely have to say Tubby gives off more the Officer vibe, tho Jack does have the young man attitude of an officer.)
As for doing the cannons, yeah that would work and you could even try both and see the difference between naval cannons and foot/horse cavalry ones - foot ones had a crew of around 5-8 tho usually 5 with a 6th likely being the senior/junior gun officer that would command you in your actions and give the commands to fire.
- interestingly talking on the guns, Britain was one of the only nations to actually have the tug and fire one.
Most nations at the time relied on sticks that had fire on the end or were super heated to fire, this also relied on the man standing to the side when setting off the gun.
However the British had the string to fire it from the lock which meant the gunner could actually stand directly behind it (usually at the end of the ropes length) and when he saw the enemy ship at good angle and position that’s when he’d pull.
This was what lead to the UK gunner being so accurate and lethal along with their training.
Tho in truth lads, while I can see you both as scruffy sailors, we all know you’d both be in the foot regiments and if I had to go with your air soft footage, sorry tub but you’d likely be a lineman (tho maybe pushing a grenadier with a bit more height and muscle) but Jack with his skinny quick dartiness definitely would be in the light company… tho maybe his intelligence score would need to go up 1 or 2 before they give him the full go ahead 😝
I will show Jack this message, and we will get back to you properly! really appreciated this comment!
Good shit boys
Glad you enjoyed it!
22:41 that's a cool idea!
We are working on it!
@@lazydazepodcast6052 awesome
What a magnificent ship
It's absolutely stunning 🤩
It would be awesome for you to do a reaction to "Hiratio Nelson, Britians Most Beloved Salior"
