Look up a search on google for tall ships nearby. There's a lot around!!! I used to have two by me, but one sank in March of last year. I regularly paddle board around where the other one is docked, and often I like going under the front of the ship, just for fun!!! I also got to see the Lady Washington, which played the Interceptor in Pirates of the Caribbean. We also have a tall ships festival every year, and ships from all around sail in. Everyone sits out on the jetty and watches as they have cannon battles and sail in. the sound of the cannons echoes off the cliffs and vibrates through your body. One year, during low tide, we waded out and stood right on the edge of the sand bar, and were maybe about 20 feet from them as they sailed by!!!

​@@korbell1089 Tall ship story - the man Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian explorer and navigator from the Republic of Florence, from whose name the term "America" is derived. The full-rigged sailing ship America Vespucci is known by the moniker "The most beautiful ship in the world". The moniker comes from the following events: In 1962, as their paths crossed in the Mediterranean Sea, American aircraft carrier USS Independence challenged Amerigo Vespucci with the light signal: "Who are you?" The full-rigged sailing ship, standing up to the nuclear aircraft carrier's challenge, answered: "Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy." Independence flashed back: "You are the most beautiful ship in the world." In 2022, Amerigo Vespucci crossed paths in the Mediterranean Sea with American aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush, which flashed America Vespucci: "You are still, after 60 years, the most beautiful ship in the world."

[@pepperVenge]

Amerigo Vespucci was the Italian cartographer who was the first to realize that the land Columbus discovered wasn't the East Indies, but was in fact an entirely new continent. So both North and South America were named in his honor.

[@richardstahlherz8168]

But the vikings are the first!!!

@@richardstahlherz8168 TECHNICALLY, it was the northeastern Russian Eskimo tribes who went there first, Columbus was the first one to tell the world about it and the vikings are in between the two and don’t really matter. They didn’t go there first, they did not manage to stay, nor did they tell the world about their discovery and therefore they didn’t really change history. Btw I’m Norwegian and very proud of my heritage, but the vikings simply weren’t perfect.

What makes the HMS Victory even more special is that you know that Nelson himself stood on that very deck during Trafalgar. Outnumbered and yet he still won without losing a single ship and capturing 21 enemy vessels. That is unbelievable!!!

More unbelievable is the absolute lack of skills of french admiral Villeneuve....typical of french people in charge of command, with some exceptions (no french bashing: i'm french....)

She's already done one voyage from Sweden to China, and back again and trips around Europe. There's been talks about sailing to the US as well, but much is uncertain in these days. There are also restrictions as to where you are allowed to use sails, so anywhere in canals/ports you're only allowed to use engine power.

I understand the complaints from those who hate to see the motorization of these ships, but you must consider the vast manpower it takes to hoist just one sail.

Not to mention the dangers of the work involved, which are many. Many sailors died falling to their deaths on the deck of such ships.

I don't want to see them running the diesels, I want to see them under sail - that's the whole point - transportation without paying oil companies for the privilege!

I see 47 "Thumbs Down" votes on this video. Those must be the Sea Ray owners.

What about all sailing ships around the world and oceans

[@profiskipinternational4402]

Many, many thanks for this time travel to our ancestors of seafarers who explored generation by generation, mile by mile under sails the world for centuries. As a sailor with pride I like to keep the spirit alive of "old seamanship" with these magnificant gratious vessels.

Great job! Very enjoyable.

[@jehl1963]

Many interesting ships, although I think the most beautiful are those that actually sail as opposed to motoring around. I'm baffled about the USS Constitution being ranked all the way down at 23, and the omission of the USCGS Eagle -- both of which actually sail occasionally!

[@richardhockey8442]

probably a requirement for seaworthiness and safety that they are fitted with conventional engines. I'm wondering if it's hard to come by people with the experience to sail these nowadays

[@Pasovineyard]

Great video. We should mention that the Picton Castle has completed number 8 circumnavigation.

[@protesialbanese]

Half of those are converted to motorsail, what a pity :(

[@zxsp3ctrom]

If you want to go on the sea you need a engine it s mandatory

[@protesialbanese]

@@zxsp3ctrom i see.

[@Lenzp]

@@zxsp3ctrom no, it's not. See for example the cargo ship "Tres Hombres". Engines are necessary to keep a time schedule. If you book a trip from A to B, you also have to book flights from your home to A and from B back home. You surely don't want to miss your flight due to low winds.

[@theduke493]

You can go on these type of sailing ships for a holiday and you pay but you work to stay on, and no of them are motored,

[@101Osprey101]

Newer built ships are typically required to have at least some kind of emergency engine. Older ships have them installed for the simplest of reasons: it's just smart. Putting an engine in these makes it possible for them to dock without the assistance of tow or tug boats. It makes port and harbor entry possible in places where previously, it required far more effort than could be justified. Finally, having an engine in a storm is probably the biggest help you can have. Imagine how much easier it is to control the ship with an engine, instead of sails, when the wind is blasting 60 MPH, in the wrong direction.

[@flying_squirl8293]

OMG I love you put the Hms Surprise in there Beautiful ship.!!

[@jiveturkey9993]

Can you imagine the man-hours and the cost of making that thing? Seems mind-boggling and almost impossible to me.

[@harmandros]

Plus a forest of trees !!!!

[@dchisholm5021]

Indeed. Even the more common 2-decker 74 gun ships of the line took a whopping 2,800 oak trees to build a single ship. A good 21' of freeboard they rose high off the water too and 180 feet of waterline to a dizzying main masthead height they took enormous skill and practice to sail and fight properly. As my sailor friend noted - those skills have long since been lost.

[@Paul_C]

And yet, they built the the underwater ship first then floated it out to being the next one. Basically it was the first production line set up. At least in the Netherlands not England.
