I've been binge watching this channel all day and it's still bloody fascinating! Thanks for all the awsome, entertaining and informative content and... God-speed!
That’s wonderful to hear! If you like our channel, we think you would like our museums, too. We have special homeschool days every year at our museums where we offer programming for homeschooled students and their families. Maybe we will see you there some day!
Its really great seeing these ships and learning so much detail about how they were used! Its very interesting when compared to many of the sailing ships that most people (I assume) would be more familiar with from the next 200 hundred years. The USS Constitution and ships from pirate movies etc. and to realize that ship technology was still progressing and new ways of doing things were being learned. Very cool! I wonder if engineering drawings of these ships might not be a popular sales item, I for one would have bought copies of each ship if so :)
So cool. I'd love to see what a 1607 focsle looks like but I bet it's probably not much different from more modern tall ships. Small and dark! Great video, thank you.
Hello from Stockholm in Sweden here whe have the Wasa Ship museum have been there quite a few times well worth visiting of you sail over the pond som day. About the Wasa is from the same time period and sunk on it's maiden voyage.
Hello. Yes, both the Wasa and the Mary Rose and their archaeology have been very important to the maritime program at the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. With the Mary Rose sinking in 1545 and the Wasa sinking in 1628, the two ships bookend our part of the 17th century nicely.
Fascinating video! Really enjoyed this one. Yes I would love to learn of the modern workings of the ship! Is it actually seaworthy? Also, how common or uncommon was it for ships of the 1600s to have women sailors on board, or was this profession mainly male dominated? Thank you so much!
While women did participate in a number of shoreside trades and businesses that supported the English fleet, employment aboard underway vessels was an opportunity offered solely to men. There are a few instances of women disguising themselves as men in order to work aboard ships; however, they are rare and are mostly documented in later time period.

Welcome aboard and we're happy to know that you're enjoying the channel.
Carol, great job.
Thank you for showing an understanding of tonnage, so many naval historians that should know better confuse it with tons displacement.
Thank you for noticing.
Really enjoyed this tour of the ship. Very informative. Would like to see the modern workings of the ship.
Great video. Beautiful ship
Another great educational video.
Very informative tour! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
Thanks! Using for my 9th grade homeschooler. Fantastic video!

You are welcome, and if you ever find yourself in Williamsburg, please come to the museum for a visit.
This was amazing ❤️
