I slept in a hammock in a tall ship (Navy training ship) for a long time and it is not as bad as they try to make it. It was actually quite comfortable. And yes, the same deck was used for sleeping, eating and training. The worst thing was being inactive, bored at anchor or with no wind.

It floats at dock in Charlestown Navy Yard, manned by Captain and crew of active-duty US Navy men and women, ready to engage at a moments notice as the oldest active commissioned naval warship afloat.

[@daneelolivaw602]

The only survivor that lasted to the 20th century other than the Victory was the French Duguay-Trouin which escaped Trafalgar only to be captured 2 weeks later. The British renamed her to the HMS Implacable. In 1949 there was no interest by the English or the French governments in preserving her so she was scuttled. A crying shame!!!

Did you heard about the 74 guns warship by Brest French designer Sane ? They were said sailing as fast as a frégate and as powerful as a 3decks ship. During Napoléon wars, RN used to seize these ships when possible and take all measurements in order to make copies. UK still had at least one original after 2nd world war and gave it to the French Navy after the German defeat. The Royale (other name of French Navy) used it as a target for other warships. It is written that the relative low quality of French Navy during that period is the consequence of the slaughter of aristocratic navy officiers during the Revolution.

Ninguno de los navios ingleses se hundió como bien dices, pero todos tuvieron que soltar sus presas excepto la del San Juán Nepomuceno. La flota de represa enviada desde Cadiz recuperó casi todas las presas, incluido el Santa Ana; y todo ello por la ineptitud de Collingwood, que no hizo caso de Nelson cuando le mandó anclar.

Sorry to burst your Patriotic bubble, but the U.S.S. Constitution is the oldest commissioned ship that is still used. And by used I mean it can still go for a lovely sail in the Boston Harbor. Not to mention the Constitution's hull was practically impenetrable to the cannons at that time.

[@daneelolivaw602]

Sorry to burst your Patriotic bubble , but VICTORY is the oldest commissioned warship in the world, commissioned in 1765, construction didn't start on constitution until October 1797, might be able to go for a run around Boston harbour, but it doesn't sail. And as for cannon balls bouncing off the hull, well, it was never hit with a 32pound cannonball was it?, the biggest RN ship that constitution fought was a 4th or 5th rated ship that carried 24pounders, and constitution certainly never fought a 1st rate, and was never hit with a 50 gun broadside.
