Totally agreed. Ships like these were arguably the most complex man-made objects until the advent of the Industrial Age. There's many centuries of constant refinement and evolution in this ship.
This ship is built as a museum ship. It is not seaworthy. Some compromises have been made to make the visit more comfortable (fewer decks, more space between decks, for example). If you are hard core, you can visit in Lelystad the 17th century ship "De Batavia". That is a complete, seaworthy, exact replica of the original. The copy sailed under its own sail near the place in Australia where the original Batvavia went down (there is footage of that on YT). And oh by the way, read the history of the shipwreck of the Batavia. The best slow mass murder horror story of all times. I know some history books have been written (in English and Dutch) about it. Why Hollywood did not yet use it as a movie, is beyond me. A most incredible true story.
Respect because they sailed these heavy ships to Japan, Ceylon , Indonesia etc. compare it with a jumbo jet that needs 16 - 18 ours for these distances!
I’m looking for info on a 18th century passenger named the ( St.Michael ) ship that brought Germans to Philadelphia on Sept.8 ,1753 ! It’s impossible for me to find it’s origin and history during the middle 18th century !
Beautiful ship! I went to the NEMO science center (blue building in the back) a few times as a child/teen, but nothing inside there was as interesting as the ship outside.
I always wanted a boat myself and I told myself if I ever became rich. I would build a ship like this one with modern equipment inside...I wouldnt even try to sail I think and maybe just live there...
I would have an 18th century ship built for me but have no electricity in it or any modern equipment! we would sail and navigate the ocean the way they did it in the 1700's. piloting around coastlines will be tricky but squalls seem to help and if you use depth sounding and fathoms. Dead reckoning is the technique! put your results when piloting in a poem and on paper for easy memory!
The replica was not built in Lelystad despite what the English wiki may say about the matter. It was built in the 'Houthaven' (trans. woodport) in Amsterdam. Take it from a native Amsterdammer, I saw it being built. Also It was not really built by volunteers...
@@henkoosterink8744 problem therefore is not the complicated build it is mostly the money and the now rotting wood from her frames - basically you would need to restart the build
I assume they would cost way more than a modern ship because, even though they are fairly small, they aren't in production any more, unlike how they were a few hundred years ago because there isn't really any demand for them, so a company wouldn't really have any obligation to make them (except looking cool as hell)
the Batavia that is build in Lelystad is pretty much 1 on 1 with the original one .. this one is highly adjusted to moden standards and a bit more maintanace free
@@caresoul thats not correct. Indeed de Batavia is a one on one replica. But de Amsterdam aswell. It lays right in front of the UK.. under water offcourse.

Alright who's gonna come with me, fix it up, get some ruffled shirts, leather boots, stockings, all that good stuff, get some muskets and gunpowder and sail off?
you know that these two ships are completely different?? Vicrotry is a 3-Stacked Cannon Monster better known as a first rate Ship of the Line The Amsterdam never was a Ship of the Line, it just was a Cargo Ship with some cannons to defend themselves from pirates etc. And the details aren`t the same. In the Stern maybe a little bit. But they still are TWO DIFFERENT type if sail Ships made for two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT Tasks
This was actually the ship that made the same voyage that Darwin made when writing his book "The origin of Species". There was a tv-series about that voyage. So this ship is truly sea-worthy and already made many trips across the oceans.....

Nonsens. Indonesia (or the Dutch East Indies)was colonized by the Dutch during Napoleonic times until 1950.The United East India Co. was not a colonial force, but a trading company.
@@adotte8014 The VOC colonized Batavia(Jakarta) around 1620.

Beautiful ship. thanks for making this.
I am doing a video for my channel, building a 24 gun Frigate and this has given me some great ideas.
How much would a Brig or Sloop replica cost, as they are small ships, unlike frigates?
I assume they would cost way more than a modern ship because, even though they are fairly small, they aren't in production any more, unlike how they were a few hundred years ago because there isn't really any demand for them, so a company wouldn't really have any obligation to make them (except looking cool as hell)
@@kabourophobia5053 So, way into the millions?
@@kabourophobia5053 What about a Brig? its smaller than a frigate.
@@robertgreen6027 don't get me wrong I'm no expert, but I assume a brig would cost somewhere from 3 - 10 million

is this the Ship used (repainted) for the on board scenes of Horatio Hornblower when he is on a 74 gun ship and not on indefatigable ???
So, when companies build these replicas do they follow 18th century drafts or just guess?

@@rickw8436 lolz
Nice !
seems a shame to build a fine ship like this just to sit tied to the dock.
Nope, a later dutch design. It's form the period however (18th century) so many ships were quite the same.
It is almost impossible to sail a ship like this now. No crew and it is not safe enough for insurance companies.
L'hermione did it its a traveling museum and gets way more visitors that way, crew are volunteers that learn it on the ship before they leave
This particular reconstrucion of the VOC ship Amsterdam is not seaworthy AT ALL
Amazing... how The Dutch were back then.
how were they?
Beautiful ship
Thanks for the video. I thought it was a frigate at first sight. Now I know it was a cargo ship.

The Amsterdam is the socalled English model. The Dutch hired British shipwrights in the 1720,s
