Ah like the land the Native Americans " gifted" to immigrants

Great video. I enjoyed your gently ironic but interesting narration - refreshing.

Please drop the “the” HMS Victory, it’s just HMS Victory.

Education is key, the river is brown because its a tidal river google why is the river thames brown and youll see why. Its not dirty as you think.

It's HMS Victory. There is no'The' in the title or in front of any RN ships. 😮, Portsmouth Dockyard wandered through there many a time whilst onboard Pompey based ships during my 22 years in the Senior Service. The Royal Navy, Trafalgar Day, celebrated every year with a service onboard and Trafalgar Night for the officers or Pickle night for the damned ratings. The 500 plus year history of the Royal Navy is woven deep into the Service.

Vinnie Jones look-alike😁

Glad you liked it here amongst us Shellbacks. Shame you were so young when you left as it would have been an interesting perspective on how it has changed. Its a lot different now with all the DfL’s and Air BnB’s and with approx 40,000 proposed houses being built in the Canterbury constituency by 2030 its going to have a detrimental impact on the town of whitstable. The bridge fact is not quite accurate in that it was not the oldest railway bridge but the oldest bridge that carried a passenger service. Not many people know but there is still a bridge surviving on the old Crab and Winkle line but its off limits, so that is the oldest surviving passenger train line bridge.

You should have while visiting the victory gone right next door and seen the Mary Rose museum

No wonder Nelson fell with that damn plaque in the way.

Excellent video. Excellent presentation. It would be fascinating to know what and how the ship is being restored ; and how long it will it take. Cheers. I agree that it is an underrated video, as one of the comments says.

Triggers Broom! 😂

If you are going to talk about a British Naval vessel then it should be referred to as HMS Victory - NOT The HMS Victory.

I would like to add (having criticised your video) that I very much enjoyed watching you and it is the best walk around HMS Victory I have seen on KZbin. Thanks very much.

Are you sure he said "Kiss me Hardy"? and not Kismet Hardy. Having been aboard the Victory and seen the size of the 32 pounders on the deck above where Nelson laid, you will be able to imagine the noise of many of these cannons being fired. I studied history whilst serving in the Royal Navy and was asked the question "what was Nelson thinking by dressing up in his full regalia for the battle as this would make him a highlighted target." my answer was "how am I supposed to know that" I was told by my teachers (who were Royal Navy history experts) the following facts. He was very religious (his father was a parish priest) He had committed the sin of adultery having a child with Emma Lady Hamilton in 1801. This was much more serious in those times than today. If Nelson had offended God, today is his chance to strike him dead. KISMET HARDY (FATE HARDY) but there was so much noise he could have said "Kiss me Hardy"

Influence? It's lost because of riots and illegal migrants. It's planned and they don't think London will be destroyed? What they gain or they want us to force this way,?

Nestlé should be providing free lion bars.

Great video.

I went on The Victory as a boy. Still remember it 40 years later. You must check out this excellent 3-episode podcast series on Nelson and the lead up to the Battle of Trafalgar by the historians behind 'The Rest is History' podcast. Sheer brilliance. pca.st/episode/626575c1-6aa5-42fc-87a3-30966a6c3823

It is NOT "The HMS Victory": it is "HMS Victory". You may say "the Victory".

🤩

How do I like or love this video more than just hitting the thumbs up, the once?! So nice. 😊❤

Woooooow 🥰

Yes yes, it's taken a long time for this video to come out, we had technical problems. And yes, I fully realize the Spanish armada was a 16th century thing. The 1805 bit is just a quip referencing another video of ours. If you came to the comment section for a "well actually" moment, imagine a place where the sun doesn't shine, and start crumpling.

WRT the canals Yes you can just hire a boat and use the lock with little training. There are loads of videos on here about narrowboating in the U.K.

Seems 5 weeks is not long enough to pick up a sense of humour that works in Britain.

That was really good , iv been on board 4 or 5 times over the years and you can literally smell the history on board, a criminally underrated video in my opinion

Just saw your QR code in the vatican, top channel

It's astonishing this channel has so few subscribers. The quality of the editing and narration is so good.

Just to put another tourist straight, Big Ben is not the buildings name, Big Ben is the giant bell inside the tower

I love Regents Park the roses are magnificent when they are in season.

6hrs from Edinburgh to london by train, 4hrs 40 mins max?

Jeez what's with the Squirrel obsession 🧐, there just Rats with furry tails that were imported from America 😮 Our native Suirrels have red fur and pointy haired ears much more appealing than the American grey squirrel 🤮

Edinburgh is not "absolutely beautiful ". It's a dump. And it's cold, wet and often windy. The food is bad, the people are unfriendly and there's nothing worth seeing or doing.

Wrong time of year, but you missed Porchester castle across the harbour. A roman shore fort, with a Norman keep in one corner, and an 11th century Norman church diagonally opposite, within the Roman walls. If you like military history, lighthouses, and castles, next time in England a day trip to Dover castle is worth it, Roman lighthouse, 11th century keep, napoleonic, 1st and 2nd WW gun emplacements, and a shed load of tunnels, with assorted functions over the millennia.

Beautifully filmed. Tv-standard story telling.

You don't actually give a Reply then just press a button that says Reply ,good one mate .

American Grey Squirrels are not indigenous,.Red Squirrels are ,Take the Grey Squirrels back to America.

Heard an old story (maybe true or not). A group of French tourists overheard asking an on-board guide if the cannon balls were original was told, no you got those. 😃

I listened to the first four minutes of your presentation, which on the whole was reasonable. However, may I point out to you that when referring to ships of the Royal Navy you do NOT put the prefix 'The' in front of their name. Therefore it is H.M.S. Victory NOT the H.M.S. Victory. To me it grinds like a molar being extracted, please do not do it.

I love to hear Americans say "Squirrel"!

Um ...don't shoot the messenger, but London ISN'T in Europe any longer.

Really enjoyed your travel series, any more plans to travel and make more videos?

London isn’t just the most influential city in Europe. The most influential city in the world is either London or New York, depending on the economic cycles of each. Right now it’s New York with a score of 100 and London is second with 99.4 (study by Oxford economics), but these two are always switching places year to year. London and New York are the only two Alpha++ category cities in the world. You can look up what Alpha++ means but basically it means there isn’t anything they don’t have - they’re all things to all men. However, London has two more things which beats New York: 46% open green space (New York has only 11%) and over 2,000 years of history.

An excellent video, congratulations 👍

Thank you for the history lesson!

Kiss me Tom Hardy ❤😆😆😆

Just a general comment, I really like the style of your videos, good stuff.

The museums are being vandalised by the Queer Theorists in charge of them - especially if they have military connections - in order to erase our history.

Scots don't eat haggis except on rare occasions and never fried Mars bars.

Correction - “WAS the most influential city in Europe”
