One really cool fact about the Venetian Arsenale was that it was such a powerhouse of labor, tech, and innovation that at its peak it could produce a new ship every day.
The Ikea of the middle ages. "we want to buy a fleet" "well, we currently have 20 ships flat-packed away. I suppose if you gave us another few weeks we could raise that to 60."
"One ship a day" is the understatement of the year. At the peak of its strength, the arsenal could produce a 60 ships strong fleet in 30 days. This because the Serenessima had ALWAYS 60 hulls ready to be made into full "galee". Thia meant they they could absorb losses nobody else could. Also - Arsenale personnel had lifetime employment, paid sick leave, paid retirement, and free food during their work days. The other side of the coin - any any attempt to "leave" or divulge the secrets of the Arsenal meant death
There are many documentaries to watch about history, but when I hear Epic History's narrator his voice draws me in to watch these instead of others. For me you got to have something unique to keep an audience interested. Best voice hands down!👍😎🤠
So lucky I've been to Venice multiple times... jus 1 hrs away from my city... my fav place ever.... every time I go there I'm still amazed by the glory the Venetians had brought to their Republic and you can still see it by how amazing the city is... the Basillica di San Marco was hands off the most beautiful Basillica in the world...

Please do a full video on the events surrounding the fall of Venice, and how some of its possessions hold out for a few more months after the Republic's surrender to Napoleon!
This is one the greatest channels on TH-cam, period. I wish I was rich I swear I'd give this channel millions. Your videos are beyond words, im serious. Thank you for transporting me into history watching military history in action.
This. This is my favourite channel on youtube. Everything from the narrator to the animation, to the depth of history and the level of immersion you offer! Simply brilliant!
Love this video; please do more videos like this! They are so informative and it’s great to see history actually put on a clear chronological scale so people can understand it! Great job epic history!

The timeline was something i loved so much. It helps memorizing the facts nd synchronizing the story in your head..
Very, very good video. Easy to understand, beautiful visuals, and a lot of info on a subject, which is incredibly underrated and neglected, despite its economical, cultural etc. influence in the history of Europe and the World.
I always look forward to all of your uploads. Thanks for what you do. I sent your channel to my history professor so that he can use videos that aren't from the early 2000s in class.
First time I actually watched a world of warships advertisement.. because the narrator always shares some historical information and it was actually interesting to watch for that reason. On other occasions I would spam the 'skip ad' boutton.
Almost every history video now has a sponsor that you instantly skip past, but you guys showed that with a little bit of research, it can be a learning experience too, well done, another great video!
But check out the amazing torpedo dodge around 0:33, then me iceing that German destroyer... Possibly my finest moment and all caught on camera. I walked into a wall of torpedoes about 2 mins later...
@@EpichistoryTv Oh yes, the classic chicken maneuver to get the enemy torpedo to adjust its course to prevent a collision.. must say old chap way to use the old noggin.
The first thing any obsessive youtube history watcher notices has got to be the highly accurate and dynamic historical mapping. Even had Norman Italy. Very impressed by the level of detail here.
very nice documentary. I look forward for the next part. - Additionally I would like to say that in my area Venetian precence was very intense during Morosini expedition in Morea (Peloponnese). If you need any help in your research I can help you. Also we must say not only the Ottoman - Venetian wars but the Venetian wars against pirates. There are many documnets describing these conflicts.
