31:24 Sailors were actually treated better than land troops. Simply because they were more valuable.
26:03 Sailors actually ate very well. They got 4,000-5,000 calories per day.
I went on board HMS Victory in the 80s and a few years ago at The National Museum of The Royal Navy in Portsmouth home of the Royal Navy, it isn’t the only ship there, there is also HMS Warrior 1860, M133 went to to Gallipoli and The Mary Rose (King Henry VIII’s flagship) Museum with the remains of the ship inside its own museum and The Royal Marines Museum. Horacio Nelson is buried in St Paul’s Cathedral along with Sir Arthur Wellesley Lord Wellington and Admiral John Jellicoe. Across the water from Portsmouth is Gosport where The Submarine Museum is located. In nearby Southsea is The D-Day Museum with an LCT Landing Craft Tank outside which was refurbished at The Museum of The Royal Navy.
The "Day Cabin" is used to this day for special occasions as Victory is still classed as an "active" ship &, if I have my facts right(please correct me if i'm wrong) is used as flagship by C in C Portsmouth. The dining table is massive, almost the width of the cabin & splits into many pieces for stowing away when not in use. Fantastic ship to visit, i've been on her 4 times. There is a plaque where Nelson fell following a shot from a sniper. He was brought back to Britain in a rum cask i think to preserve his body.
Fun fact HMS Victory had a run in with the Luftwaffe in WW2! A Stuka dropped a 500lb Bomb narrowly missing her and only blowing off her Keel and damaging some of the hull.
I can tell someone's also a fan of Vlogging Through History
Royal Navy sailors of this time received rations the equivalent of 3x a modern diets calories (required due to the intense physically hard work). The navy knew that only fit strong men could sail and fight her. Their diets and health were actually far better than those ashore. The food was monotonous but nourishing.
Dude, get your butt over here and visit Portsmouth navy Musium. I've been aboard the Victory twice and it blows my mind. You also get to see the Mary Rose and HMS Warrior which was the first iron clad war ship. It never fired a shot in anger because the enemy buggered off as soon as they saw her. The musium is fascinating and the guided tour on Victory is brilliant. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
Sadly victory is still under restoration efforts. Its looking like they are going to have to replace the fore and aft lower masts with metal ones which like the work with the main one, they will have to be lifted directly upwards and out of the hull to avoid causing any damage and the new ones lowered in. Lots of crane work, thats if they dont have to replace the upper masts too, which are being looked at for rot.
Victory is a little like warspite, its finest action took place years after her expected heyday after major refits. Apparently warspite never truly recovered her balance after jutland but they made do throughout ww2.
The term “poop deck” originates from the French word for stern, la poupe, which in turn is derived from the Latin puppis. Thus the poop deck is technically to be regarded as a stern deck.
Then for the love of God we should call it that.
Royal Navy sailors of this era tended to be extremely fit and generally healthy. The simple work of manning the ship, handling the guns and vicious fighting involved in boarding actions led to very tough individuals They often had better food and healthier conditions than the people living in the cities of the time. Being weak and sickly tended to lead to a VERY short existence. The wooden world of the Royal Navy has been a passion for many, many years. Loved my visit to Victory, and particularly seeing the shot riddled mainsail from Trafalgar laid out on a floor - with the main gun battle scene from "Master and Commander: Far side of the world" playing on the big screens! Would love to see a reaction to that historically very accurate movie.
Interesting reaction...it is always fun to find new history reaction channels and finding out about their areas of focus. As others have suggested, Master and Commander is definitely the movie for you if you want more information about war at sea in the Napoleonic Era.
When you were talking about getting stores up from the hold, you were a bit mistaken about how that was done. You thought they were moving things up the stair wells, but that is not the case...Victory had "holds" and "hatches" to cover them and winches to lift and lower heavy items down into and back up out of the storage areas at the bottom of the ship. The hatch covers over the holds are in the waist of the ship, and the decks below that have similar hatches that are normally covered, so when loads of barrels need to go up from or down to the holds, it is just a matter of clearing away obstructions and opening up the hatches to give access to the lifting/lowering gear to do their job. And of course, down on the hold itself it is then just a matter of rolling the barrels to their proper positions, or rolling them back to underneath the overhead hatches to lift them up to whatever deck they are needed on.
And yes...they had a LOT of pulleys...the mechanical work done by those two capstan winches was routed all over the ship as needed by an incredibly complex system of rigging and pulleys. For some jobs that required lifting, they would use a locally rigged pulley system and get a bunch of men on the rope to do the work, but pulleys were definitely a part of daily life in many many ways on board any sailing ship at that time...regardless of whether they were military or civilian vessels.✌💯
Your reacts are the best!
The Royal Navy is on course to rule the seas 🌊 again, Only last month 5 Rowing boats where launched with a highly Trained crew on each Boat ,The fuel will be supplied by Witherspoon. During Harbour trials at Portsmouth, it was to Witherspoon fuel ⛽️. It seems to have had some effect on the boats 🚢, Navigation properties, Three went round in circles, ones crew thought they were submariners, And one went up the slipway, the crew were last seen entering a Witherspoon for more fuel. Shouting their be me ,cheap fuel Lads. C,Mon Lads for king and Country.
The first purpose built office block in England was built for the navy
36:13 to give you an idea of what an accident in the main powder magazine might be like here is a clip from a documentary about the 1605 gunpowder plot involving about 1 tonne of gunpowder (1/35th the amount in Victorys magazine) in a building that simulates the houses of parliament in 1605 to show what might have happened if the plot hadn't been discovered and foiled and remember the magazine explosion would be about 30 times bigger than this

Lol i like your thumbnail bro 😂
Napoleon was Frances version of Hitler. 🇬🇧
Both men more worthy of admiration than any British politician, before and now.
@@gnomeimporta6912 Both Napoleon & Hitler were narcissists, power mad & quite insane. Of course with insanity often comes genius.
