I have always found the gaff rigged schooners to be the most beautiful of sailing ships. While not gaff rigged, the Niobe was still a very beautiful schooner. But even the best ships can fall victim to weather and rocks.

My grandfather, Edward L. Rowe, was her last engineer. He never learned to swim and survived by hang onto a piece of floating wreckage. He managed to get on the rocks and wedge himself into a crack. He saw the Captain floating by snd grabbed him. Holding him between his legs, Grampy had his kneecaps broken by the pounding waves. They were rescued by the folks that came out from the town. Grampy lived out his natural life but the Captain died later from the injuries he sustained.

❤❤❤❤this is YANGSHAN SHANGHAI PORT.hehehe nice..

Whenever a vessel and especially a sailing vessel is rerigged, a thorough stability analysis should be conducted by a licensed, qualified naval architect. I doubt this was ever done in this case.

I love the coffee too...😂😂😂

A sailing ship with square sails only at the forward mast and gaff sails on the aft mast is more accurately called a schooner brig. A true brigantine also carries square topsails on the aft mast. I'm currently refitting and re-rigging the former schooner brig Flying Coney.

❤❤❤❤always think for our safety Sir While onboard..Nice thank you...

Changing the rigg from schooner to square brought the sailpoint ( combined forces on the sails) much more forewards. He probably also made a heavier mast and also the Ra’s were additional weight. I think she dove forewards into the waves on a for-the-wind coarse or broad reach.

Song of the Sirens...best E K Gs q work

Modifications, Modifications, 😢

The _Albatros_ pictured at 0:28 is not the same vessel. That one is a Dutch klipper (shallow-draft trading ketch) built in 1899, and is still afloat today, based in Wells-Next-the-Sea, Norfolk, England. Aside from that, this is an excellent summary of the life of a tall ship, with obviously a lot of research: I like that you found some actual footage of her which I had not seen before, rather than the stock footage so many other channels use. I read Ernest Gann's 'Song of the Sirens' as a teenager, all about the trials and tribulations of a boat-owner - his descriptions are so vivid that I fell in love with _Albatross_ before I even saw a picture of her.

Bayesian had the same fate for same reason

"badass tidbits of history". This channel is kinda awesome.....myself, and my cat, currently rationing fuel @ anchor in Alaska. waiting to be frozen in.... Located emergency shelter in the woods in case boat catches fire... Tis' a good life...SV "INGRID38" that movie was super sad at the end. excellent acting I remember. okay bye. now.

"Albatross!" "Albatross!" "Albatross For Christs Sake!"

Very informative ❤. But the background music is disgusting 😢

White squall was probably one of the best movies ever made

Seven masts of a sailing ship are super, but I still know some ships dubbed 'Ten-masted Circus'. These were East German freighters of the FRIEDEN-Klasse. And what would you say to a seven-stacked battle cruiser? American Lexingtons in one of their planned versions HAD seven smokestacks!! ♍

Do you have this files on download? Thanks great work😀

16 sailors for a sailing ship of that size seems ludicrous to me. I would have guessed at least 5 times that many....or more.

Too bad about the ending of the "Lawton". Glad to hear that the ship more than paid for itself. From the picture you showed; I thought that the ship was very majestic looking. Thank you for the video and the commentary.

Sad ending! We had a photograph of this ship in our house in New England for as long as I can remember. I would look at it from time to time and was never ceased to be impressed. She served her purpose.

Put the outline of a modern cruise liner against one of these schooners, sails up, (scale to same length) and the Cruise liner probably has more side on area….scary!

Interesting history!

No, you idiot. The "golden age of sail" was in the later 19th century, primarily in the era of the clipper ships. These schooners were at tail end of the age of sail.

Thank you for your videos very inspiring and huge of information and knowledge to learn about marine works.

Anchorage area

Really useful and practical guide for 2mate! Thank you!

That stupid narrator wrong pronunciation of Preussen makes me sick. Pronunciation should be PROISSEN and never PRUSEN. Where did you go to school?

Awesome! This has helped me so unbelievably much for my orals 😊

Diving is progress on board ship❤

Thanks for the content

I have never before seen any vessel with such an immensely vast sail area! There wasn't any rigging area wasted where another sail could be fitted!

Plz make more videos to learn passage plan third mate for taking promotion bigginer to advance in ecdis

All five masts sailing ships perished tragically. Rickmers, Potosi, Preussen, France II and København....

Well, see how far we have come since those days.

These history "tidbits" are excellent, thanks from Alaska

Damn shame

Maybe I can provide some additional Info on “Admiral Karpfanger”. After her loss, there were comments on the qualification of her crew, which, though nominally sufficient, was not on par with sailing ship crews of the time before the First World War, which is documented by letters of the ship’s officers to their relatives. Moreover, the vessel had shortcomings, which may have contributed to her demise. The following data are from the book “Segelschulschiffe rund Kap Horn” (“Sail-training ships round Cape Horn”) by Heinz Burmester. As built, she had a short forecastle of 11,2 m, which was lengthened in 1921 to 22,3 m and then left only a short portion of the main deck around cargo hatch no. 2 as a well deck. Such an arrangement is called a “Versaufloch” (expletive German for “drowning hole”) among German mariners, as it is liable to catch large amounts of green water which cannot run off quickly enough through the freeing ports. The main steering wheel being mounted on a pedestal is only a disadvantage for the watch officer when trying to monitor the steering of the helmsman (or -men), otherwise it is a safety advantage. One of the most worrying points is her freeboard, which met the legal requirements of her time, but was very small for a vessel of her type and size. As built, it was 1,35 m (4’ 5’’), but in 1921 (due to lengthening her forecastle) this was reduced to 1,185 m (3’ 10,5’’), according to the freeboard rules then in effect. This was adjusted in 1937 to 1,19 m (3’ 11’). Rule of thumb among mariners dictated the freeboard to be not much less than 20% of the moulded depth, which in “L’Avenir”’s case was 8,08m (26’ 6’’). Her freeboard therefore should have been not less than 1,635 m (5’ 4’’). In 1919, when under command of Captain David Williams, who before had been master of the British four-mast barque “Medway”, she sailed from San Francisco to Ipswich with a freeboard of 1,470 m (4’ 10’’ - conflicting figures within the book) and a metacentric height of 0,70 m (2’ 3,5’’) and had to be hove-to near Cape Horn three times due to very heavy weather. He later stated that he would not have wanted to sail “L’Avenir” in winter in the north Atlantic or the Southern Ocean with a freeboard less than 1,68 m (5’ 6’’) and a metacentric height less than 0,61 m (2’). When Admiral Karpfanger left Port Germein on February 8th, 1938, her actual freeboard was 1,24m (4’ 1’’) and her metacentric height was later determined to have been in the order of 0,35 to 0,40 m (1’ 2’’ to 1’ 4’’), at best 0,50m (1’ 8’’). A common risk for deep-laden cargo sailing vessels was pooping, which means green seas sweeping over her stern when sailing before the wind in heavy weather. It is very likely that this has happened to “L’Avenir” somewhen between 1908 and 1937, because the gearbox for her worm-and-yoke steering gear aft was originally made from teak, but when she was taken over by the HAPAG she had one of steel, as photos prove. For comparison, in the Swedish Maritime Museum in Stockholm you can find the original steering wheel and gearbox of the iron four-mast barque “Beatrice”, with her original name “Routenburn” on the starboard side of the gearbox, which implies that this gearbox is original from 1881 (when “Routenburn” was built), and this ship was in service for roughly half a century! The “Herzogin Cecilie” was pooped in 1909 near Cape Horn and narrowly survived, and she had also been built by the Rickmers yard of Bremerhaven, although being larger and of different proportions. How exactly “Admiral Karpfanger” was lost will probably never been known with certainty, but I regard the following scenario as being the most likely: When running her east longitude down towards Cape Horn, she was overrun by a heavy sea from aft, which made her sluggish to respond to the wheel, filling up her welldeck, which, being ahead of both her center of gravity and buoyancy, pushed her forefoot deeper into the water and then she uncontrollably broached to and capsized. The same would have happened after hitting a growler (i.e. small iceberg), flooding one (or more!) of her forward compartments. Therefore, the obviously flawed freeboard regulations, which allowed a reduction of freeboard for additional length of superstructure without a limiting clause, may have played a role in her tragic loss, which is why I have covered this point so extensively.

Please make more videos about mooring station when leaving port, sir! What is single up, make fast tug line... how to report, etc. (this series so great for berthing!)

I have an idea for the next video, the maria rickmers Barque 1891

my man has come
