The History of the North Atlantic Ocean
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ค. 2024
- Thousands of miles of emptiness. Nothing but blue, grey, green and white. Giant waves, shrieking gales, water so cold. This is what millions of people in history had to cross in order to begin new lives. Witnessing the greatest migration of peoples in history as well as the longest and most bitterly fought of all naval battles it connects two hitherto unknown continents. There is perhaps no stretch of water quite as forbidding, no stretch so important to human history as this one. This is the story of the North Atlantic.

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
@@franklinkz2451 pardon me
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.
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
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
Excellent work as always. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you Ashley!
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!
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 ;)
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. 🤓
You are so welcome
Excellent work! Insightful and thought-provoking as always 👍👏
Thank you kindly!
Well done. Classy!
Again, superb stuff, can't recommend it enough.
Thanks v much!
Awesome doco…great job
Thanks!
Excellent stuff bro
Much appreciated!
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
interesting video
Cheers!
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
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!
Thank you very much!
@@GeodiodeO BRASIL NÃO PRECISA DE VOCÊ.
Very interesting. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice.
Thanks!
My mom crossed the Atlantic to England with the USO right after WWII. She said it took 3 months.
Excellent 👍 Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice
Best Video, so interesant, very good information
buen video super interesante😊😊
You should do the great lakes
nice
Muito bom e interessante conhecer histórias assim
Glad you liked it!
I give this video a 9,000/10!
Thank you!
Que baita conteúdo
Cool
Wow 😮
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
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
I crossed the Atlantic in March 2016 from London to America to start my new life in the USA. Eight hour flight.
Toop de mais !
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.
Glad you liked it! Yes that was a slip up to mention cruise. I must have been drunk!
Nature
muito legal
Obrigado!
Adorei
Excellent. I noticed a few minor faults, such as the pronunciation of John Cabot's name.
It's quite a bit of water.
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.
Thanks, glad you liked

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.
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.
I'm an engineer not a liberal arts major, please don't use that insult! Yes it's true that the first pieces of information about Turing's work were released in the 70s, but the full disclosure didn't occur until the 90s
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’m just happy that I saw the concorde once lol
Gone by ship twice. Took a month each time.
Can you do a video about Gibraltar?
Boa ❤
A Welsh man was the first in America called Madoc
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!
❤❤❤❤
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?
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.
1790 my gre a t great grandfather came to charleston sc from wales
muto bom
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.
it`s never too late to get your GED
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.
that`s called consulting multiple reliable sources..thanks@@marshja56
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.
It's information from Ptolemy (2md century), medieval in date of inscription
@@Geodiode Okay, that makes perfect sense, then. Thanx!
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 🎉🔥🇱🇰
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.
It was an omission, you are correct. Whalers were usually the first into an area of sea.
This is more fiction than fact, but still good video
Show
Not the western world but The American Dream is what they were beating everything on. To live the American Dream or Bust.
Hello
Pillars of Hercules not Atlas.
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.
Tarefa 3 😅
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
9:05 responsible part of 🇩🇪 agrees
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

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 only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace!! Columbus didn’t discover 💩 😩 how you discover something when people were already there 😅 Happy Black history month ❤
Ya me desuscribi
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 ;)
Haha, well let's hope there isn't a war with Mexico
They should show this video on every trans-Atlantic flight
Good idea!
3,000 year old Egyptian mummies had cocaine and nicotine in them
Nope, columbus is catalan like all the american discovery, and the current us flag it comes from cathalans
'Peer review' re who was in US is worth nothing. See Richard Dewhurst 'The Giants who ruuled N Am'
Miles preferred to km
Thank goodness no political agendas just history.
Exactly !
WHY PEOPLE THINK THAT OCEAN LINERS ARE CRUISE SHIPS?
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 :)
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.
Too dangerous. It should be paved over so we can drive or even walk to Europe.
Nice
Thanks
