15th century Shipbuilding - Part 2

A popular design of European origin is the carrack (or they are called nao or сoсa). The carrack featured anywhere from three to four masts, dominating ship designs until it was superseded by the galleon in the 16th century...

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

Thank you! Let’s hope so.

[@wuyseh3310]

thank you very much and looking forward to the next one Every time you learn something new that is beautiful

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

Thank you! I am delighted that you are enjoying them!

[@manfredagne6738]

A video on the development of the rudder & steering mechanism would indeed be very interesting.

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

Very good! Thank you for the idea- we shall produce one then.

[@dingydoedles1399]

Thank you very much for the interesting video! I'm currently writing an essay about shipbuilding in the 15th-17th century, this is a massive help!

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

I am glad that was of help! What publication are you writing for? Are you an archaeologist or historian?

[@thomasdeak7762]

Thank you for this video, it is a really fascinating topic.

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@ianb3895]

Thank you for sharing you knowledge and insights on your facinating discipline. Wishing the best for you, Olha and the Assistant. Happy New Year Dr. Batchvarov!

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

Thank you very much indeed! And we wish you a Happy New Year!

[@davidlund5003]

Thank you .

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

Thank you for watching!

[@denisv4385]

As interesting as the previous video, I really enjoyed it! THANKS!

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

Thank you ever so much for your encouragement to this channel and your kind and generous support of the Senior Channel! Your encouragement and support mean a very great deal to both of us! Thank you!

[@denisv4385]

@@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist Believe me, the pleasure is mine. I have the chance to discover and learn from the videos of the Batchvarov clan which you are generous enough to share. Change of subject, I have a question for the Vasa expert and enthusiast that you are. I saw a video recently about Vasa, and I have doubts about its veracity. The video claims that when he was taken out of the water, a miraculously preserved corpse was found and even his brain could be reconstructed. Is this true or fake?

[@VitaliiPitia]

Thank you for your interesting reviews. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for You and Olha! Peace and Love!✌✌✌

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

Thank you. And thank you for watching!

[@TheHerring7]

Very intesting. Thank you. I would be interested in the rudder development mentioned. (Also in square rig development if possible? :-) )

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

Thank you for the ideas! Sure, Olya and I can produce videos on these topics

[@Pocketfarmer1]

Perhaps the extra rudders where for military redundancy. If the main rudder had been destroyed or fouled in battle the others could be deployed. Just an idea. Happy New Year!

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

This is an interesting hypothesis! It could Be. However the galleys of Flanders were merchant ships.

[@Hellspijker]

thank you for the video. hope you could continue the series, into the northern style, and the later ships. what do we know, what is surviving. early galeons, models of mayflower, revenge, golden hind ect.

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

Mayflower, Golden Hind, Revenge fall under the speculation category, of course, but we do have information about vessels of this period, thanks to archaeology. So I certainly would be interested in producing such a video. Thank you for the idea and for watching!

[@lor191ric]

Thank you Dr. Batchvarov I have enjoyed your last two video's, you have provided me enough information to spark my interest to do some research of my own. Happy New Year to Yourself, Olha and Imbir and my wishes for a very interesting and enjoyable year to come.

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

In that case, the purpose of the videos has been achieved! :-) Thank you for watching, and Happy New Year!

[@maxymvoloshyn]

Dear Doctor Batchvarov, happy new year to you and Olga! Your channels are two of my most valuable sources of inspiration. Health and success to you in the new year! Thank you so much for the vodeo! The first two parts were very interesting and educational. I'm looking forward to the third part. Could you possibly share there your opinion on whether the Santa Maria could have belonged to any of the known types of Mediterranean ships from the 15th century? It's important to consider that this vessel needed to be capable of oceanic voyages, not just coastal or inland navigation. Also, as an archaeologist, how do you think the Santa Maria was designed and what might it have looked like?

[@kroumbatchvarov-archaeologist]

Thank you so much for the kind words. A Happy New Year to you and may it bring Victory over the Empire of Evil and its orcs! Santa Maria was known as a nao- ship. It would have been a derivative of the Mediterranean cocha. Two words for essentially the same type of ship. You may recall that she was hired to the crown on the southern coast of Spain, in the Mediterranean. How was she designed is an interesting question, but in the absence of archaeological evidence of sea-going ships in Spain from this period, this would be mere speculation. It is exactly agains speculation that I was ranting in my Santa Maria video :-), so I would rather not indulge in it myself. Likely some sort of whole-moulding was used. We may be better placed to speculate after Gribshunden is excavated, documented and reconstructed

[@hein_von_der_werft]

Hello Dr. Batchvarov, a Happy New Year and indeed Victory over the orcs! Thank you for the two interesting videos. I have a question about the lateen-sail. On many shipmodels with lateen-sails, the yard is set either under the shrouds or over the shrouds. Did you have any source, about the handling of the lateen-yard? Greetings from Germany!
