@@jimmyhvy2277 That was the guy ahead of me walking up the stairs talking to the little kid who was with him. He misidentifies the captain's quarters as the galley.

if pirates liked that small nutshel, wait until they see our "Padre Eterno" in the 17th century, we're talking about a 53m portuguese flagshi with 144 pieces of artillery, whe the average english spanish and french carried 90 pieces average, it was the biggest ship of that time. we actually had pre pirate days the "Botafogo" in 1553, that bad ass had 366 bronze artillery, that was madness, 1.000 tons displacement. what about the biggest loot ever, the "Madre de Deus" in 1589, 50 meter long, 1.600 tons displacement, crew of 700 men, when it got captured, it had chests full of pearls and precious jewels, gold and silver coins, amber, rolls of the highest quality cloth, tapestry, 425 tons of pepper, 45 tons of cloves, 35 tons of cinnamon, 25 tons of cochineal, 15 tons of ebony, 3 tons of nutmeg and 2.5 tons of benjamin. The total value of the goods on that ship alone was bigger that the wealth crown of england in a full year...
i can only imagine seeing a Portuguese fleet of ships like this floating in the Persian Gulf in the 15th century when there was no such thing as Kuwait City and when the Portuguese managed to sail to Japan likely as the first Westerners to achieve that .... dang those Portuguese - they knew how to build ships
I am from NZ, don't think they made it this far, but first I left NZ I went to Malacca, and later Macau. I'd love to go to Goa and maybe Mozambique. However, I also learned how awfully they behaved..
They didn't use caravels for those missions. They used carracks, which were much larger, resistant, and powerful (often with a huge quantity of canons)
1 - The Caravel was the ship for discovering the world. 2- Then the world offered excelent trade oportunities so it was built the carrack, bigger for bringing tons of cargo in spices from Asia to Europe. 3 - As expensive products had serious Arab competence and also pirates making everything to put their hands on this millionaire cargo a new ship had to be built to protect this trade. 3 - The Portuguese built the Galleon, a big carrack full of cannons, including new sea war developments, that was developed for centuries and soon also by other countries. Great video!
I seen this ship randomly while crossing the bridge from Newcastle to Stockton. It blue my mind, I thought I was seeing a ghost ship as it looked completely black from my view. I tried googling about it but was unable to find any information. After which I was telling a mate about it and he had known about the ship also, now seeing it from this video is awesome. So thank you.
Yeah, I'd never heard of it and when I first noticed it anchored in the Clyde River at Batemans Bay, I took it for a replica Chinese junk. Anyway, monitor their Facebook, 'cos they're heading north again. ATM they're at Shellharbour, south of Wollongong.
My father in law just saw the Notorious near Port Macquarie NSW a few days ago - he is with the marine rescue as a volunteer and spotted her at anchor - amazing to see in real life! Now I came across this post quite at random and will share it with him! Thank you very much. Great endeavour to build and sail this vessel!
There is a pretty accurate recreation of a Jamestown ships in the US. You can walk across the mid deck in a few seconds. The fore and aft decks are even smaller. The ship is 68 feet but usable deck space probably not much more than 50 feet
@@BeKindToBirds Going straight to the biggest: Victory's deck was less than 200 feet in length. They packed nearly 900 people onto that thing. Of course, when you compare 200 feet to less than 60 feet it is huge, but its still easy to understand why a person today looks at any of these things and the first thought is "it's tiny".

We have one in the Dias Museum in Mossel Bay, South Africa. It was used by Bartolomeu Dias in 1488 when he was looking for a new route to India via the southern tip of Africa.
I saw this boat in Tasmania a few years ago at a wooden boat festival. I remember a fireplace or wood burning stove and was impressed with it in the surroundings of wood and tar! A wonderful feat of woodworking. It’s great to see the shots of it under sail.
I got to sail on a recreation of the Niña for three months and it was amazing! Our boat was made of Brazilian tropical hardwood and made with traditional tools and techniques.
How was it living with the shitting and sleeping situation? Always been curious. I'd be worried I'd get seasick. I've only got seasick once on a ferry crossing in Mexico but I'd still be worried about that hah. Especially if it never went away and I just had to get used to it.
@jonny There was only one head (toilet) in the captain's chambers so we sailors had to literally had to climb to the back of the poop deck to let the excrement fly while perched over the gunnel.
Being able to beat close to the wind was this ships greatest technology contribution from my understanding. It allowed explorers to travel much further down the west coast of Africa past the great desert and still return home. Something previously impossible due to the trade winds in that region. Fun irony: Railroad magnate Leland Stanford imported Australian Eucalyptus trees to grow in plantations for railroad ties. Although the species proved too weak for the application California farmers in the Monterey area discovered they made great wind breaks! There are still millions of eucalyptus trees in Southern California, particularly around the Salinas Valley. There are so many they are considered invasive now and being slowly removed.
I saw this Magnificent sail ship anchored up in the north arm of the Hunter river Newcastle on the 14th October 2023 for a couple of weeks What splendid piece of craftmanship Beautiful she is, I now wish i had the opportunity to go onboard
Amazed at seeing hand cut and shaped rather than machine sawn timbers making up the ship. Gives the interior an almost organic quality. We get to see wood perfectly cut and square nowadays that we forget that this as seen on this ship was the norm centuries ago.
It was the triangular sail as seen on the Nile that changed sailing forever, after adopting this rig the boats could sail better than the square sails, as a child in Portugal, my fathers' small fishing boat had the same sail setup as that used on sailing boats today except all these fishing boats had was a timber mast with a triangular canvas sail and a rope, when the wind was right up it went, no engines at that time just oars, and no one complained.
after America was discovered I imagine they would have kept along known coastal routes when the weather was favorable and only crossing the atlantic from Iceland to Canada or western africa to northern brazil,
Wonderful! I did not know there was a caravela on the planet! Imagine sailing from Lisbon to Newfoundland and back again. She looks like she could do it.
@@tatumergo3931 There was liquor indeed but I think the rations were pretty limited, weren't they? They wouldn't get wasted often except by special occasions, and from what I remember (from past readings) they would get punished if they did. Drunken angry sailors are trouble lol.
Actualy, i´m thinking building one to, here in Lisbon, Portugal. But, one bigger, a Carrack..the most notorious Portuguese ship of all time, a Frol de la Mar.
There are actually many around the world today. Built and privately owned by several people and organizations. Traveling seasonally from Port to Port as displays and living museums.
I've seen this ship sailing the Queensland coast a few times. Really spooky. Looks like a ghost ship. Blacker than black and doesn't reflect any light. Probably crewed by the corpses of long dead pirates. Total respect for the builder and his amazing skills. Great to see inside, but what's in the big black chest? Doubloons? Pieces of eight? Or the bones of scurvy mutineers? I always wanted to sail a bit closer to get a better look, but thought it best to keep away.
I have just completed a two day voyage on one of Notorious's children, a 16th century Spanish Galleon up the English Channel to the Thames, also recorded the trip. Thank you for your excellent video, very well done, the commentary really made it with the images.
The galleon "Pai Eterno" was built in a shipyard in Rio de Janeiro, in 1663, in a location today known as "Ponta do Galeão" (Tip of the Galleon), where Galeão Airport and some organizations of the Brazilian Air Force are located. The construction was made with native wood. It was considered, at the time, the largest ship in the world. At 53 meters long, it was capable of carrying two thousand tons of cargo. In addition, it had capacity for one hundred and forty-four artillery pieces.
@@tatumergo3931 The Galleon São João Baptista (better known by its nickname Botafogo), in its time, was the most powerful warship in the world, having been decisive in the conquest of the city of Tunis. However, it was built in 1533. Therefore, more than 100 years before the Padre Eterno (Galleon that I mentioned in my comment). Interesting detail: Botafogo is the name of a neighborhood in the city of Rio de Janeiro and home to Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, a football club of which I am a fan.
@@clebernascimento9943. Yes that's how I know... did they finally cleaned the lake? Is it a lake, well it's man made right? I also am a lover of medieval and renaissance history, specially the part about the Iberian reconquista and Portugal's attempts to conquer North Africa.
in the hold... but if it was really valuable/worth it some would be locked with the captain, and overflowed elsewhere. basically wherever they could find space, starting from the bottom up:)

There is a Caravelle in a museum in Mosselbay South Africa. It was sailed from Portugal to commemorate the voyage of Bartholemew Diaz . It is also amazing
Thank you for the insight, I have only sailed on a larger barque Eye of the Wind and to create then voyage this Caravel ship is incredible. Sud Aviation named an airliner after it.
As a classic boat lover and full time cruiser - I want one. Friggin banging. I'd be rolling up to the mooring field at night under sail. Let em wonder.
If you contacted the owners through their FB page (address at the end of the video) I'm sure they'd be happy to share details of the design and fit-out. Good luck with the project.
I believe that a layer of horse or whale blubber mixed with quicklime and another substance was applied to the hull in contact with the water, which gave it a more or less white color (the mission of this layer of blubber with lime was to prevent that limpets, barnacles, wood-boring worms, etc. adhere to it)
Smaller boats are better to go across storms, as waves create a lot of stress on their structure. There were bigger boats, but with their tech it was better to stay small
Cientistas e historiadores não conseguiram recriar na perfeição uma caravela mesmo tendo destroços de tal embarcação! A esse facto deve se a complexidade da sua construção! Isto não passa de um parque de diversões sem o mínimo de precisão histórica! 🇵🇹
An amazing asset for Australia, and she's definitely built for short-handed sailing. Maybe just two deck hands and a helmsman. Now I wonder if the same pattern was built with modern materials and aluminium masts, kevlar sails and a lead keel, she would be half the weight and faster. Could be a great, and very different looking, ocean cruiser.
These Ships are rare in the UK. A later version , a replica of the Matthew of Bristol was sailed around 1497 but i'm not certain there are any other replicas. I didn't know about the Notorious but i shall go and research it now!
I like the way he built it as "rough and ready", crooked timbers and all, rather than prettily finished. But maybe I'm fantasising, and those old shipwrights were more formally precise.
But why did he chose the Portuguese caravel? Hell... a Viking long ship or a Knarr would be unique in Australia. Btw I'm Portuguese and congratulations to Graeme Wylie, you've done a terrific job.
I heard somewhere that the Caravel was a portuguese millitar technology and we don't have precise descriptions of how they were made because everything surrounding them was kept as a State secret.

Cientistas e historiadores não conseguiram recriar na perfeição uma caravela mesmo tendo destroços de tal embarcação! A esse facto deve se a complexidade da sua construção! Isto não passa de um parque de diversões sem o mínimo de precisão histórica! 🇵🇹
Tanta raiva. Ninguem disse que ela e uma replica perfeita. Cura-te.
Fantastic! I never knew this existed in Australia. I would like to visit this Caravel if it's around Brisbane. Thanks for the upload.
Keep an eye on their FB!
A weather eye, me Hearty !! @@possm1
this ship is such a treasure
Fascinating !
She's a beauty!
Thanks for sharing! What was the size of the crew? Like four plus captain?
Back then I would guess 4 or 5 at a minimum. Notorious sails with a crew of just 2.
This is a good ship. I want one.
What an amazing chunk of ship.
That was amazing, thank you so much
This boat was in Hervey Bay Australia last year.
She's a beauty.
Very well done video
An amazing asset for Australia, and she's definitely built for short-handed sailing. Maybe just two deck hands and a helmsman. Now I wonder if the same pattern was built with modern materials and aluminium masts, kevlar sails and a lead keel, she would be half the weight and faster. Could be a great, and very different looking, ocean cruiser.
Sails with a crew of just two.
heavy as it is, it has "12 tons" of bluestone as ballast.
I actually have heaps of photos of this ship and have met the owners, I came across it quite abit whilst out on the jetski
Imagine living in those cramped quarters for weeks on end. 😮
So beautiful.
These Ships are rare in the UK. A later version , a replica of the Matthew of Bristol was sailed around 1497 but i'm not certain there are any other replicas. I didn't know about the Notorious but i shall go and research it now!
Proud of be portuguese 🇵🇹
I like the way he built it as "rough and ready", crooked timbers and all, rather than prettily finished. But maybe I'm fantasising, and those old shipwrights were more formally precise.
Pretty much built it himself in bushfield, was an impressive feet to watch progress, we use to drop the timbers off the farm for him to mill
But why did he chose the Portuguese caravel?
Hell... a Viking long ship or a Knarr would be unique in Australia.
Btw I'm Portuguese and congratulations to Graeme Wylie, you've done a terrific job.
I heard somewhere that the Caravel was a portuguese millitar technology and we don't have precise descriptions of how they were made because everything surrounding them was kept as a State secret.
Awsome! We have a similar ship in Vila do Conde (Portugal), but it never sails..
I've seen it! ❤
this looks so comfortable downstairs in those beds i would love to spend a night here on this boat and sleep down stairs on a bunk
At 6:17, I see a Teddy Bear above the bunk. A reference to Mr. Gibbs in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, perchance?
AWESOME !!THANK you
