    I think I am following your part about figuring the beam width out; but where you measure it is important, and the beam at the deck is not the controlling factor re speed and handling- I point you to the Dutch flute, a cargo vessel that has a relatively narrow deck to take advantage of cheaper port taxes that measure beam width to determine the rate, but were much wider just a few feet lower than the deck, getting to the volume that a merchanter needs to be profitable. As I pointed out, this was "port captain's measure" made for economic reasons not as part of the hydrodynamic package, but in aid of financial benefit.
    Your part on why the large bows on warships was very intriguing- I had never thought through just what made that compromise so necessary.
    As always, thanks for giving me something better to do on Sunday than the mere news! Please continue, I think you are getting to the good part! Btw, an aside on how the English Royal Society would effect shipbuilding and navigation would make good content a bit later as well! As well, I am thinking a piece on how the ship goes from the king's idea (or merchanter owner) to a floating, ready to travel ship would be welcome- it should show that vast clouds of paperwork and CYA were invented long before the present era.!

    It is truly amazing how the ancient architects were able to construct such ships using knowledge and basic tools. Geometry and math is the base for it all. I would love to see the drawings!

      Thank you! Yes,
      My opinions are not always matching to conventional opinions offered us by secondary sources, but they are based on my research. And inevitable prejudices, I am sure. However, I can defend them with facts

    Thank you Kroum for a very insightful presentation. As a ship modeler in my later life, I seem to gather more questions about these older boats and their development through time as I'm working on them. Your presentations answer and explain a lot for me to help and understand how this has come about.
    Once again thank you, and I'm looking forward to your next presentation within this series.

    To be honest, your husband looks exactly how I imagined authors of books about ships and their history that I was reading previously. :D

    Not only were shipwrights all the good things you said, particularly some the English ones during the reign of Charles II could really be described as personal friends of the king. And still, some where very highly educated and a few less so. Jonas Shish was described as an honest (which I guess meant "not very sophisticated/smart" at the time) carpenter and barely literate (though letters from him have survived that he probably penned himself). Still he built excellent ships. Of course you know all of this...

      Btw, I would love to see a video with your thoughts on what useful information a naval historian can take from the diaries of Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn (regarding naval architecture, not Admiralty gossip and how much fun watching an execution is). Of course, on some level the suggestion is a little silly as an entire youtube channel could be built around Pepys, but since you are a man of good taste with a love or the Restoration Navy ;-) you might consider doing a video on this?

      @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The thing is that this description of Shish is reaching us from Pepys. And he is very far from reliable source. Most of his personal opinions do not seem to hold water on closer examination. Richard Endsor addressed Shish’s qualities in his latest book. Personally, all that I have seen and read from these men, they all were outstanding and definitely not building by eye and feel.

      @@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist Thanks Kroum! The other big diarist of that area and time, Evelyn, was the Shish family's next door neighbor in Deptford, though, and from him come stories like the one that Jonas Shish would get into the coffin he made for himself to pray each evening... Evelyn really liked him but, if I remember it correctly, made him out to be a pretty uneducated guy....

    Hello, I would like to hear your opinion on the work done by Michel Daeffler, especially Formes de carène et navires de combat : L'invention du vaisseau de ligne en Angleterre (1560-1642). It seems to be an extensive analysis on the subject for the period before the Commonwealth in England (also including the Prince Royal and Sovereign of the Seas)

      Thank you for this! I actually am not acquainted with this work and have to look for it. Unfortunately I do not speak French though usually can make my way through technical archaeological articles. I’ll look for the book.

      @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, I suppose you can call it that. It is -obviously - my opinion. However, that opinion is not arbitrary. I base it on a long career in ship archaeology looking at the actual ship remains and original documents in the archives. Is it the final word on the subject? I doubt it. But it is based on research in primary sources, rather than repeating what’s written in secondary sources. But it is my opinion yes.
