Maps are and always was essential information in both travel and also Land registry and like me a Duke of Edinbugh Gold Award Expedition Assessor for many years and love making routes and even to this day sitting with an Ordinance Survey map and Atlas books as well .Thanks so much again G

Another great video!

This is such a great channel. You British blokes sure do know how to make a good video. Short and concise, not a lot of blather, extremely informative, I learn so much watching. Greetings from America!

I do appreciate the subtle delivery and quality presentation. Subscribed.

I had friend a Duke of Edinbugh Award Scheme leader said he would rather read a Map than a book. I still read a lot of my maps with routes on for the Award . Trevor also did a series of talks on maps if I remember years ago. Thanks very much.

Whoever you are, please like and subscribe to this wonderful channel. I just recently found it and I'm shocked by how little views it has. This man is exceptional in his presentation and knowledge. I am going back and trying to watch every episode and comment, like and share. I'm hoping to boost the algorithm to help them get more views. No, I'm not connected in any way to the channel I just love this channel!

Another great video! Wonderful content, excellent presentation.

Great video! Thumbs up indeed!

This is a great channel! You deserve way more views. I just enjoy it so much. Thank you for everything you and your crew do. It is appreciated.

Im happy; I love him. Im ready to binge.

This is so interesting!

Fascinating content. The two fighting figures you mentioned in the south west of England may have been a reference to Gogmagog and Corineus: two fighting characters which were cut into the landscape on Plymouth Hoe and appear in local records from sometime in the 1400's.

Most interesting and full of interesting historical features and Wolves

2:32 England is not bad is it with 😅occasional direction faults. Roman roads were well marked. I love reading maps.

I wonder if anyone prints posters of these maps.

I found out from my grandfather who put together a family tree that I am very very very distantly related to him. Still can't believe he is a kind of major part of history.

It does have a History still in Hereford . Most interesting talk Thanks a lovely description.

Good start to a new series Thanks for mentioning Hoskins whose books I have .

Mr. Stone, I love your channel. I must say that it does not get the number of views it deserves.

From long-ships to battleships to rowing boats.

Yes just download the Review of the navy in y the Queen it has pictures of all the navy on that date

Did we really have a 1200 ship navy at the end of WW1 ?

Why have I not found this channel before? , oh well , New subscriber here & I've got some catch up viewing to get on with . I look forward to watching all the previous episodes I've missed . Thank You .

Thanks for this.

One aspect of the sinking of the Mary Rose was her proximity to her home port. Unlike the Vasa, the ship was long serving, so why sudden instability? Admiral Carew's last recorded words were "I have the kind of knaves I cannot rule." Some have suggested incipient mutiny and we will never know for sure. My theory, extra men with their armour on the upper decks. The ship is caught by a squall as it manoeuvres, it hels and men fall and slip to the lee side compounding the heel and emersing the gunports. Another possible compounding issue was the medieval hierarchy and style of fighting. "Gentlemen" were infinitely above mere mariners. Gentlemen expected to see their enemies and be seen by them. If only one such gentleman hindered the closure of a gunport... I sailed those waters for a number of years and experienced a number of squalls off Portsmouth.

Great work Richard, you do informative and well delivered videos

Interesting period

This is a little gem of a series. Thank you.

Thanks, I'll watch the next one too?

I can see where the byword "like a Dutchman" originated. Thanks for the lesson.

I appreciated the views of the Galleasses as it reminded me of the early frigates developed later on. Perhaps I am mistaken, but the hull types seem similar. Thank goodness for the Anthony Roll.

It seems that the crown had a difficult time procuring enough "professional" vessels capable of taking on the Castilian fleet. Perhaps they were a more better equipped and well trained Armada? This is an early example of a government trying to save on naval expenditures at the expense of proper defenses, a common recurring event in history? Some things never change.

Already one can see the predilection of the British for close in battle tactics when opposing the French. Do you agree? I also got the introduction of archers as a sort of early light artillery aboard ships, perhaps a throwback to the Roman Galleys influence?

Thanks for the brilliant look into the subject of impressment during the age of sail. Interesting fact that you claim 50% of the enlisted sailors were pressed men at Trafalgar.

Very Interesting talk today.

Roy Christian a writer and lecturer was a relative of Fletcher Christian I knew him very well as I used to take my mother to his talks and stay overnight at her home and also went on village talks he used to hold around Derbyshire . One I remember was at Ticknall .

Great video!

There’s a book about it called prise of all the oceans, the earl of loveless gave me it to read, the portrait at the start, I had the privilege of walking past it and among a lot of other first hand relics it took them 2 weeks to unload the gold to the Tower of London. Peters wife is still living of that money.

Great work - love your stuff. Very informative and lovely gentle tone.

My brother went into the Royal Navy in 1946 and finished up as listening all-night on radar on the HMS Superb a Destroyer and heard wales deep under the water on the Med.

Thanks for this.

Do you know made the ‘BRODY’ ? stove and where it was cast ? .

Thanks for update esp the daily living facilities and other uses.

The family is still fighting to this day to get his name cleared, I am related apparently on my fathers mothers side.

Poor Jervis but Nelson had a more difficult task. We know the rest.Looking forward to part 2

Thank you for such an interesting and informative series of videos. Please keep them coming.

The Spaniards, oh yes. The canons are still in place on the town's quay wall (Leiden, The Netherlands). Thank you for making these videos, sir.

Is it any wonder that so many novels have been written by so many authors set in this period of our naval history? Great stuff!

the demonic forces that perpetrated the french revolution are still at it today. and they are winning.

Interesting video. Are you using a green screen? Or are you standing in the captains cabin of a frigate?
