HMS Victory

Wasn't sure where to post this, but since it's a monohull,,,,,,,.
A look inside in a way that gives some real perspective of what such a ship entails, both in building and the crew needed, (and the food they consumed).

Wow, thanks!!

I rarely sit through even a 3-minute YouTube video. This one kept me glued to the screen.

That is a good video. Watched it the other day. A staggering amount of oak required to make the ship.

6,000 trees - a veritable forest to make a single ship. Loved walking through her at Portsmouth, like stepping around history.

Thanks for sharing!

Great details. The sequel needs to show her giving a broadside!

I have a "Hanes Manual" (you are showing your age if you know what they are!) of the HMS Victory. It's very detailed, and pretty cool to read. I've done 2 tours of the Victory. Was there a few months ago again, but closed for restoration.

Very cool!
Makes me feel weak whining about going up my 40’ mast

Saw that last week. Fascinating.

Imagine how many ships they built before they were able to get it that refined.
