Mighty underrated content and high quality work! Ive been binging on your content the whole day since the Krakatoa video came onto my feed. Never stop pursuing your passion.
hell yeah man i always get excited when i see that you've posted a new upload. especially love these infamous geography presentations because I'm a bit of a history buff. anyways great upload as always, thanks for all the work you put into these videos!
Hearing the name North Atlantic Ocean always brings a sense of fear and dread. Thanks for putting together this video! 🙏 Love to learn more about this infamous body of water. 🤓
The North Atlantic Ocean has been a significant crossroads in global history, shaping exploration, trade, and conflict. This part of the Atlantic played a pivotal role during the Age of Exploration (15th-17th centuries), when European powers, such as Spain, Portugal, and later Britain and France, navigated these waters to discover new trade routes and territories. The ocean was also the stage for the infamous Transatlantic Slave Trade, a tragic chapter where millions of Africans were forcibly transported to the Americas, leaving a profound impact on history.
So, many of you will have made a subsonic flight across the Atlantic, but how many of you have made the journey by ship, or were lucky enough to travel by Concorde? And how many of you can trace known ancestors who once made that perilous journey across the ocean in centuries past?
I have just discovered your channel and I totally love the content you are creating! Very calitative, in terms of sound, image and most of all information and the way it is presented and structured! Amazing! I'm going to watch each video :) Keep up the great work!
This was such an amazing video. The only flaw I could see was when you called the Lusitania a “Cruise-liner”. However, she was never a cruise ship. She was an ocean liner.
My direct ancestor Jaques dit la Rosette Léger was born in France in 1668 ,his name was first recorded in North America at Fort Nashwaak which is today Fredericton NB Canada he was with Troupe de la Marine (french marines)
That's the year Titanic hit the iceberg in 1912 I have the movie 2 disc I had to check the alternate ending how Rose still has the heart of the ocean necklace bill Paxton got to hold it for the first time before Rose tossed it in the north Atlantic ocean it's a good movie but sad with that many people with pets I am hoping for Young Guns 3 this year 2024
Neat general summary of a complex and controversial (in part) subject. Pre-Columbian crossings are a particularly interesting area, with the possible exception of Norse journeys (and there is some conflict about the details) it’s largely a matter of conjecture. One point; gross tonnage is a measure of capacity, not weight.
THEY ARE CALLED "THE PILLARS OF HERCULES" (OR HERACLES) - ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE. WHY ARE THEY CALLED "THE PILLARS OF HERCULES?" - BECAUSE OF "THE 12 LABORS OF HERCULES" TOOK HIM THERE, THE SAME AS MANY OTHER ANCIENT GREEK HERO'S OF THE TIME.
Excellent video! Congrats! You should go to China, check their ancient maps and be surprised by their navigation power and the geographic knowledge they had about America long before the European people arrived here.
Thanks! Yes, I'll be interested to learn more about any Chinese expeditions across the Pacific, but to my knowledge, none have been verified prior to European explorations of the West Coast.
I dunno how one makes a documentary about the North Atlantic without mentioning the whaling trade.... but here we are. Based in New England, whalers sailed the whole world and discovered numerous islands. They also devastated the whale population. The decline of the whale population and the increasing need for a replacement led directly to the oil industry, which of course changed the whole world.
Please do the history of SriLanka ❤🇱🇰🙏 Our country need more attentive from the world 🌎 its a paradise island 🏝️ with rich histoy dating back to more than 2500 years 😮 it would be kimd of you people to please tell the world who sri lanka is 🎉🔥🇱🇰
Columbus knew perfectly well the dimensions of planet Earth, like all respectable geographers and astronomers of the era. He would assume the land discovered was far larger, reaching all the way to Asia, ignorant of the existance af a huge ocean to the west of the discovered lands. Only in 1520 did Magellan establish the existance of the vast Pacific Ocean, later confirmed by other explorers whence Central America was transversed.
He knew it was a sphere, not flat. But everything I've read said he both underestimated the size of the Earth and overestimated how far Asia extended to the east. That's why he thought eastern Asia wasn't that far across the Atlantic. If you can provide a source for your claim that Columbus knew the size of the Earth I would be interested in reading that. Otherwise I will go with what I have read.
I am confused by the video clip immediately preceding that of the SS UNITED STATES, sadly rotting away in Philadelphia. I believe the preceding clip is the RMS QUEEN MARY in Long Beach- but she has only two funnels. Had the aft funnel been removed for repair?
What is that medieval map around 2:15 ? Given the blackletter hand, but outdated Roman-era information, it must be at least the 12th century, informed by the translation of classical knowledge from Arabic into Latin, but not enough later that the author would have real knowledge brought back by the Age of Exploration.
Why would you deny the suggestions & theories & accounts of ancient world having contact with North America, the Americas only because it wasn’t peer reviewed? @03:42 Thats quite absurd!
Because this is not that kind of channel. I'm not denying that there is a possibility that it happened, but until there is concrete evidence of anything, it doesn't make it into my videos.
8:58 🇮🇹 => 🇺🇸 (so basically America is just a part of the new Romam empire.. lol 😜 my Grandpa would laugh out loud right now 😄) thank you for this video very much ☕️🍰 having said that America needs to learn to behave itself these days
The only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace!! Columbus didn’t discover 💩 😩 how you discover something when people were already there 😅 Happy Black history month ❤
When the majority of Americans were British, we went to war with Britain twice. When it was Germans, we went to war with Germany twice. When it's Mexican ;)
It was common knowledge when I was in college in the 70s that Turing used computers to decode German coded messages during WW2. I guess it took another 30+ years for liberal arts majors to learn what Engineers had known for a very long time.

In 1636 my ancestors left Norwich, England and settled in Dedham, Massachusetts. Almost 400 years later I live in Boston only a few miles away.
I and my parents Took the Queen Mary from NY to England in 1955
Very close to the end of transatlantic ocean liner travel!
@@Geodiodeany signs of reestablishing the upgraded connection? Other than Queen Mary 2? :)
thats so awesome!!
“My parents and I” … saying it backwards sounds very strange

Glad you like them! Thank you! Yes the IG series is all about the fusion of history and geography. Glad I got that formula right ;)
I had no idea THAT many ships were sunk between 1939-1945. Unreal!
Destruction of materiel and loss of life on a scale that is today hard to comprehend
No mention of the Basques and their contributions to north atlantic exploration and travel? unforgivable
This video is a mere tale, like parrots repeating the same lies over and over
As a boy in 1980 I swam on the very far end of Nantucket on the North atlantic. It was cold and very choppy and was beautiful

Gone by ship twice. Took a month each time.
Well done. Classy!

Glad you liked it! Yes that was a slip up to mention cruise. I must have been drunk!
It's quite a bit of water.
I crossed the Atlantic in March 2016 from London to America to start my new life in the USA. Eight hour flight.
Best Video, so interesant, very good information
Very interesting. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
My direct ancestor Jaques dit la Rosette Léger was born in France in 1668 ,his name was first recorded in North America at Fort Nashwaak which is today Fredericton NB Canada he was with Troupe de la Marine (french marines)
Impressive! He would have been one of the first few thousand French to have crossed the ocean
My mom crossed the Atlantic to England with the USO right after WWII. She said it took 3 months.
Well done. Thank you
Thank you too!
Muy interesante e importante saber toda la historia que guarda las aguas del Océano Atlántico, gracias por compartirnos, algo mas sobre ello
That's the year Titanic hit the iceberg in 1912 I have the movie 2 disc I had to check the alternate ending how Rose still has the heart of the ocean necklace bill Paxton got to hold it for the first time before Rose tossed it in the north Atlantic ocean it's a good movie but sad with that many people with pets I am hoping for Young Guns 3 this year 2024

Muito bom e interessante conhecer histórias assim
Glad you liked it!
thank you! good video!! maybe more on aviation transit or the logistics of travel
Thank you! Aviation is one of my passions so I hope to do more on this subject in the future
You should do the great lakes

Pillars of Atlas? Never heard the Pillars of Hercules refered to as that. Couldn't find a source, provide one?
THEY ARE CALLED "THE PILLARS OF HERCULES" (OR HERACLES) - ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE.
WHY ARE THEY CALLED "THE PILLARS OF HERCULES?" - BECAUSE OF "THE 12 LABORS OF HERCULES"
TOOK HIM THERE, THE SAME AS MANY OTHER ANCIENT GREEK HERO'S OF THE TIME.

Excellent. I noticed a few minor faults, such as the pronunciation of John Cabot's name.
Toop de mais !
That's home for me

It was an omission, you are correct. Whalers were usually the first into an area of sea.

There's a good film about the Atlantic campaign Greyhound which starred Tom Hanks as a Coast Guard Captain
I saw it and it's utterly brilliant!
Can you do a video about Gibraltar?

It's information from Ptolemy (2md century), medieval in date of inscription
@@Geodiode Okay, that makes perfect sense, then. Thanx!

Haha, well let's hope there isn't a war with Mexico
Soo ware did they bury the hundred's of thousands who died? Shouldn't there be Hugh mounds of bones from so many dieing so fast.
the north atlantic looks wet
i think so too
LOL 😆 🤣 😂!!
All oceans are wet. I think...
i noticed that too but who added the salt?@@johnfalstaff2270
3,000 year old Egyptian mummies had cocaine and nicotine in them
They should show this video on every trans-Atlantic flight
Good idea!

WHY PEOPLE THINK THAT OCEAN LINERS ARE CRUISE SHIPS?
Thank goodness no political agendas just history.
Exactly !
Columbus had to know what people from India and South Asia looked like. Marco Polo walked to China 300 years before his time.
The term "indian" was used to describe any primitive native peoples inhabiting a foreign land. So the term "indian" is accurate.
It was common knowledge when I was in college in the 70s that Turing used computers to decode German coded messages during WW2.
I guess it took another 30+ years for liberal arts majors to learn what Engineers had known for a very long time.

can you make videos about plant families ?
Have you not seen my biomes series? Plenty in there. But specifically a series on botany would be outside the general scope of this channel
@@Geodiode i have seen it but i want to learn more . Quality is good so i want more :)
Too dangerous. It should be paved over so we can drive or even walk to Europe.
