even tho the low countries (Netherlands, Belgium, luxembourg) weren't independent yet, they too had a standing navy in the 1400's and 1500's established by Jean sans peur, the Burgundian duke. known as the bande d'admiralité, it required all 3 of the 17 provinces that had a coastline to provide a certain amount of ships, depending on their size, that were always available and equipped for war. Brabant while landlocked also had to comply to a limited extend, as Antwerp was the largest sea port of all at that time making it four admiralities in total. the engravings by the Bruges artist Willem Van der Cluyse (W.A.) give a good idea of Flemish ships in the mid 15th century, his depiction of a carrack shows a large threemasted ship, equipped with cannons already.
Pett Dynasty was a family of shipwrights who prospered in England between the 15th and 17th centuries. It was once said of the family that they were "so knit together that the Devil himself could not discover them".[1] This saying refers to the era during which Samuel Pepys was much involved in getting royal aid for Ann Pett, widow of Christopher Pett. The Petts Wood district of south-east London is named for the family.[2]
Very nice! An important challenge for the development of Dutch naval power was access to high quality ore for the production of cannons. Sweden was, and is, a prime source. An enterprising Dutchman, called Louis de Geer I think, managed to get control of the Swedish mines as well as smelting and cannon fabrication. De Geer actually exported these cannons to Amsterdam and the Swedes had to go to Amsterdam to buy cannons made from Swedish steel. De Geer made out like a bandit. I can only conclude that the Swedes in the seventeenth century must have been very trusting people.
The Dutch were ahead of the curve with fast efficient ships. Plus they made sure their sailors could SWIM. An ancestor was a leader of the Sea Beggars- Willem II Van der Mark........ history is fun!
still a big lie. The ship he talked about was a carrack. That type of ship Wass developed by the portuguese so it is impossible that the french were the first to use heavy cannons on ships if the portuguese, the spanish and the venetians were using them years before Marie la Cordelière had been built. Moreover the author states it was the largest ship to use heavy cannons wich is another lie, there were ships like the São João Batista who carried 300 guns, thats way more guns than the Cordeliere had. So in other words, the only one that's trying to be a smartass is the author, because he is skiping important information and is excusing himself on that by pointing the finger to other people that may know more than him.
@@balticempire7244 I'm probably the only pedant here :P But I often wonder what they used in Asia to spice things up before the capsicum family were introduced. Butter chicken without tomatoes? Not to mention Italian cooking :P
Look at the model of the Santa Anna in the St johns gate museum !500s. Carrack with apparent ramming lower deck and low gun ports (like Mary Rose). This most peculiar ship has some alien features which are difficult to decipher. I would be interested in anybody's views of the interpretive integrity and function of this vessel/model.
17:02 Spanish Armada in 1688? Mate you're 100 years off, it was 1588. Hope that was just a slip of the tongue, your videos normally seem very well researched. Thanks for the content.
Is there somewhere a reliable source about evolution of ships and ship types by name and how those types/names changed and evolved through times? Thanks for any help. 😊

Awesome well made videos as per usual
Very nice video again. Quite a broad topic but good overview. It was informative. Cheers!
Most Kino intro you've ever done, by the way
It's a very interesting period of how the sailing ship evolved from it's humble beginnings.

I love how late medieval age ships look like floating castles
Best history narrator ever!
12:51
"Spain was wanted full autistic control over their colonies"
No truer description can be said about this time period 😆
Always love your videos on both channels! Another amazing video!
Awesome use of historic art really adds to the stories
The Dutch were ahead of the curve with fast efficient ships. Plus they made sure their sailors could SWIM. An ancestor was a leader of the Sea Beggars- Willem II Van der Mark........ history is fun!
Very good video. Interesting information. Thanks
but what about galleys?
another great video, cheers bud.
what about them indeed
@@balticempire7244 something ...probably. ; )
I was wondering how sailing changed from the medieval. Very interesting and entertaining. Beautiful artwork.
best channel fR!
great channel keep them coming, well done
8:30 BIG MISTAKE. The first nations to use guns on sailing ships were the venetians on their galleys and the portuguese on their caravels in the 1460s
galleys are not ships
4:34 You have foreseen this!

@@balticempire7244no they're ice creams
You have a very good way to put your voice and to narrate. 👍🏻 very olasing to hear. And interesting with that !
It was Portugal who created the first modern navy in the world.
Making a video about european sailing and barely talking about Portugal is mad
Hmmm... You had the wrong "peppers" showing in Asia. The "peppers" you showed came from the Americas.
unfortunate

Super
Slaves, Diamonds, America, and more but Evolution is magic to changes
nice
Lol, how did you find this "VOC mentaliteit" quote from former Dutch prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende? 😋
Ging echt stuk om die
YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Remember the whales 😎
my compliments to your dutch tongue!
Speaking out the VOC in full isnt the easiest.
