I got to live and sail on a caravel. It was a replica of La Niña and it was made all of Brazilian tropical hardwood using traditional techniques and was in some ways better than the originals due to the superior quality of wood. Climbing the rigging without rat lines and hauling the anchor by hand could be a little daunting, but it was a great three months!
What made the Kon-Tiki trip so amazing - 100 days of ocean: fresh water was provided in the journey by captured water from storms. Which were the primary use of the sails. The "log Barge" if you will caught the westerly Pacific current just south of The Galapagos islands. 4 knots was the average speed. Just enough to be screwed if you went overboard as there was no way to stop or turn the raft. Hello! And no hand rails! lol. No, you can't swim 4 knots, or 5 mph. lol. What about food? All supplied by the "mini world" under your raft filled with many small fish also riding the current. Which in turn, bring bigger fish. And yes, many fish were different species of shark. Again, making going overboard a totally sucky experience. LOL Incredible really.

We have an shallow fjord in Denmark called Holckenhavn (Holk harbor). The Caravel was used as a tre masted warship in Scandinavia (at least two was build in 1510 and 1517 respectively) - a sleeker version of the Galleon.
Thank Mr Hyerdall science is a cruel mistress You may have gotten it backwards but you were on the right track. History needs to remember those that took the first steps of failure that lead to success
The part about the Knarr is almost completely untrue. Knarr were strictly trading ships dating from as far back as the 8th century. The were short and stout containing few rowing benches. The coexisted with the first longships which were called Karvi with a length to width ratio of 9:2 with 6-16 rowing benches and 50-75ft long. The Karvi were much larger than Knarrs and were used for trade, troop transport, and viking. In the 10th century, longships were built with a 7:1 length to with ratio. There was the Snekkja with 20+ rowing benches (45+ft long and a crew of 41+) and Skeid with 30+ rowing benches (70+ft long and a crew of 61+).
Good distinctions, Especially among the different "longships." The later ones were specialized royal warships, built for the remarkable battles between Scandinavian powers in the 11th century. A replica has been built and it's a very different craft from the models in the various Video streaming series. Probably the ultimate dual propulsion sourced ships until the 19th century,
For instance the Galley use confined to the Atlantic Ocean? What? They were used (mostly) Close to shore in good to moderate weather close to shore in the Mediterranean, surely
This list should definitely include the outrigger/double-hulled canoes that the Polynesians used to settle the enormous Polynesian triangle. As fare as 'medieval' goes, Hawai'i was settled by Polynesians from Tahiti around 1000CE. The vessels of the greatest sailors in human history deserve a nod.
The Polynesian ships (Waka or Vaka) that sailed to Aotearoa (New Zealand) around the 13th and 14th century, and between other parts of the Pacific, that transported the supplies to set up new colonies, would have been a worthy inclusion in this list.
I note the Eurocentric approach. Nothing about the Pacific and its diverse multi hull voyaging canoes and outriggers. These were skilled navigators and explorers who ventured over the Pacific which covers one third of the earths surface. Large vaka, double hulled canoes were made without iron or steel tools. Coral, shell and stone were all that was available. These vessels were fast, stable and safe, totally constructed from local material. The designs came from the Lapita peoples from Melanesia over 3000 years ago, who settled in Tonga, Samoa and Fiji before moving on to Eastern Polynesia and last of all New Zealand.
You know, the Medieval period is a catagorization that refers specifically to Europe. Historiographically speaking, pre-Contact North America weren't in a Medieval Age.
First of all, saying that Galleys were mostly used in the Atlantic ocean is very wrong! They were a product of the Mediterranean and were not capable, which was noted, of withstanding storms in The Atlantic. Second,, if the title of this video is "Amazing Medieval Ships" you can't include ships that came before or after! I would also point out that showing the Carrack sailing with it's fore sail flapping is down right silly. Ships that were called hulks were former naval ships used to accommodate sailors between assignments. Hulk also refers to ships that have been abandoned or wrecked. In this same time period the Chinese Junk was prominent as were various ships in India and Polynesia.
I know this is in regarding "Medieval Ships", but when always talking about ships ancient or modern, the one ship, the most important ship in the history of mankind is rarely talked about: Noah's Ark. If you don't think it was real? Well, the "warming" of the earth has caused much of the glacier on Mt. Ararat to melt leaving the evidence of the ark for those who wish to climb to 12,000 feet and then descend into the mountain to see the most amazing remnants of a ship much of it preserved and the wood in nearly perfect shape due to being frozen in ice. The ark itself, however, is not in best of shape being crushed by the ice into many large sections. But the fit and finish of the caliber of beams and the woodworking is simply amazing.
Mistr, the largest wooden ship--ever, was built as a warship by the Kingdom of Maccasar (the Indonesian islands), and successuly used against the Portuguese invadors. It was around 300 feet long!
The design flaw with the Kon-Tiki was the rudder didn't work. No way to steer the thing. And suddenly going overboard had a very different meaning. the guys who built it didn't test the damn thing before setting out on the journey. Once you caught the current you were committed no going back. And that would have been a nice piece of information before getting on the raft! You're just telling me now, while surrounded by sharks you can't steer the bloody thing? lol!
Inaccurate. The oldest dug out canoe was found in Pesse, Drenthe, The Netherlands. It was dated to be fabricated some 9000 years ago. And then there was the Dover boat, a dug out canoe with planks on it's side that could have been sea going, dating back to some 1600 BC. Ireland, Crete and Malta were quite early populated. I'm pretty sure more ships will be found. Forget about the arc, though the story shows that ships existed at it's time. The Greek historiën Herodetes reports stories on Mesopothamia on 'corracles' that could transport some 100 tons of freight and even were used to transport cattle on Euphatus and Tigris... In Egypt he's told there had been sailing expeditions around Africa.... And coke was found in mummies? That may have been a local herb... Check it out!
elements of balinger style evolved into the little traditional scottish herring trawlers, and haddock/cod trawlers. (not to be confused with more modern style industrial trawlers)
Is this AI generated? Because there is so much wrong with this video. For starters, a Hulk is not a category of sailing vessel. That Viking boat is nowhere near the oldest boat found. North American fur traders did NOT use dugout canoes. They used bark canoes. And "medieval" is not a period of North American history.
A hulk was a description given to a former sailing ship which has had its masts removed and has been repurposed, e.g. as a floating storage depot or prison ship. It was never a type of ship, but was afloat, but moored and incapable of going anywhere
In the woodlands of North America it was the BIRCHBARK canoe that dominated -- NOT the dugout canoe used in the rest of the world. It was the BIRCHBARK canoe that was carried when portaging -- not the HEAVY dugout canoe.
you confused the two meanings of hulk... dismasted ships of the line used as prisons or depots were refered to as hulks... the medieval hulk was a banana shaped ship, 1 to 3 masts with square sails.

Anytime someone uses the metric system, I am immediately angry. I think the metric system was invented to confuse us.

Actually it’s not impossible. All it would need to be is buoyant enough to float. How do you think cruise ships get as big as they do today. Because of buoyancy.
@@stevelenox152 It’s possible. The Egyptians built ships that were larger than US carriers today. They weren’t as high but they were wider and longer. Just because it wasn’t done doesn’t mean it couldn’t have been.
