    Fascinatingly informative and helpful to ship modelers, who often have problems locating trustworthy information.

    maybe a video, about the history of the carrack how did we get from a cog to big gun ships, and what is the archeology we have compaired to the paintings and drawings that survive.

      By now there is a body of carracks that have been studied. A good idea… thank you!

    It is early , yet my Sunday for the most part is now complete, listening to your talks set the stage for what you sign off with, a wonderful day that started with your video.
    Thank you!!

    oh that was a nice one again😁 many years ago I had a yew longbow with about 100lbp drawwaight. but I sold it cos I was not able to use it. What is faszinating to me is the vast collection of dayly use items found on the mary rose.... One of the famous lanterns, the one with the domed top, I tryed to make a reconstruction..... even thou that I used a motorized wood laith and not a spring pole laith it was a joy to se the result. The hard part was the oiled rawhide for the glasses. There was only the oak frame left of the original... so thanks again for your nice contend 😁

      Thank you so much for watching! The ye bows varied in power from a low of 120 lbs to a high of about 180 if memory serves me right. No wonder the archer skeletons have such oversized upper body!

    As with most research done on ships of this time frame, the only thing keeping us from further knowledge is time and money! An interesting episode!!

      True. Though also modern academia is structured in such a way that it discourages you from excavating. It wants quick results and lots of publications which are incompatible with actual research and excavation.

    You have provided an excellent respite from eggs and bunnies. Thanks and now it is time for some port and a cigar , so Happy Easter!

      Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words! I have noticed that port or cognac tend to cure most ills. As to bunnies and eggs- luckily I am an Eastern Orthodox and I am spared at least this :-)

    I went to see the M. R. A long time ago when it was still being sprayed. Couldn’t see much but it was all very amazing. Remember it was live on TV when I was young when they pulled it up and part of the frame broke

    • @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist
      @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yup- the contractor decided he knew better than the engineers and archaeologists so used a smaller locking pin than specified. The old ship won that engagement though!

    Dr. Batchvarov, Thank you for another fine and informative video lecture. Until a viewed your lectures on the Vasa and Mary Rose, I was not very interested in ships of the 15th or 16th centuries. Your video lectures have rekindled my interest in dusting off a partly completed model of the Golden Hinde and finish it. I will probably interpret this model as the Pelican. Several weeks ago I saw a documentary on the Mary Rose done by the BBC I believe. The crux of this documentary involved an analysis of the skeletal remains and documenting where each of them was found on the ship. As I recall, DNA analysis indicated that much of the crew were from foreign countries such as Sweden, Norway and other seafaring countries. Although this documentary is far from a scholarly work, does it at least keep the door open to the possibility that a major cause of the sinking of the Mary Rose was due, at least in part, to the crew not understanding the orders of the captain? I presume the captain's orders would have been in English. I would be interested in your thoughts.

    • @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist
      @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The dna shows Mediterranean origin too: likely the Genoese crossbowmen that Marsden blames for the loss of the ship. In truth, even if they spoke perfect English or were natives of England and reacted immediately, they could not have prevented the sinking, as to close the ports, you have to haul the guns in first. None of them were hauled in, but were found lashed in position. Thus, the language barrier explanation is exploded. Whatever caused the accident, it was not language barrier. Lack of discipline, human errors in handling her seem to be the most probable based on the archaeological evidence.

    As I said in 'Chat', thank you Doctor.
    You made my Easter Sunday with that.
    I'd love to discuss Henry's navy with you over a Coffee. I'd bore you with my questions.
    I do have the Caldercraft kit in my stash of 'things to do'.

    • @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist
      @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Caldercraft kits tend to be good quality and accurate. I love them.
      I have to say that much of what I know of MR is coming from the kindness of Jon Adams, Chris Dobbs and Alex Hildred who have been wonderful to me and have shown me around, shared their archives and knowledge of this ship very generously! I am deeply obliged to them.

    Thanks for returning back to the main road of your channel!
    I would like to get your opinion on the sizes of the fore and stern castles. McElvogue has argued in his AotS that one should take the Anthony Roll depiction as a blueprint, but at the same time admitted that the archeological evidence is not sufficient. What is the current state of research?

    • @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist
      @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      He was not part of the original excavation team. Adams, Dobbs and Hildred were. The stern castle survives to the original height, apparently. McElvogue and Marsden trust Anthony, but even Marsden admits the aft and side views of the stern castle do not match in either number or location of decks. McElvogue was working there when they raised the stem of the ship in 2007 (???). But the forecastle was not excavated, though it is still there. My vote of confidence is with Adams, Dobbs, Hildred on this.

  • @oliverglier8605
    @oliverglier8605 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Thank you very much for this interesting video. I wonder what can already be said about the remains of the forecastle. Early reconstructions and some kits had it cut down, resembling the bow of early galleons. But in the past years people tend to think of it more as depictured in the Anthony roll so maybe the dispute (if there ever was one) can now be settled?

    • @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist
      @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      In order to be settled, the bow has to be excavated and this has yet to happen, unfortunately. The evidence of the stern castle suggests that the superstructure may have been lower than indicated by the Anthony Roll. Not to mention that his portrait of the vessel has discrepancies: stern view and side view do not match.

    The ship's name, or names, is a fitting topic for Easter Sunday and Biblical references. You mentioned the boarding netting as a possible cause for the death of many sailors. Was this because they got tangled in the netting and drowned?

    • @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist
      @kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes. The netting was there to prevent enemy soldiers entering the ship. But what was effective in blocking the enemy proved equally effective in blocking the crew from escaping. Of course, they do and so would have hard time escaping from the decks and castles, not to mention that they were weighed down by the accoutrements

    Thanks for the new video, Dr. B. I’m assuming your comments on Henry’s “marriage management “ were meant as sarcastic humor, as your dry wit often allows. Or should Olha be nervous…? ;-)
