I’m a model ship builder and always had great interest in early sailing vessels. I find your videos very educational. I watch all your videos and Ohla’s as well. Good luck and keep up the great work.

I am class of ‘79! Gig Em Aggies! Whooooop! 👍🏼

One year already? My, they grow up so quickly. Thank you for a year of knowledge. Hoping to see you this coming weekend!

Hello Dr. Batchvarov, congratulations for one year of the channel for "complete irrelevant information"! 😄As a maritime-fan, shipmodelbuilder and hobby sailor, i like what you and Olha are doing on both of your chanels very much. It is allways interesting and inspiring. So please keep going. Greetings from Germany!

Thank you for making the effort to share! Looking forward to the continuation. I for one would like more archeology content. 🙂

Congratulations and here’s to many more! I do like the archeology. It is the pursuit of accuracy that I appreciate, that and your loaning of your library for review.

congratulation and continue with great information.

Thank you for your unique efforts!

Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary. It is a wonderful channel and love your sense of humor as well.

Favourite channel! Thanks for all you do Sir! Kind regards from Sweden.

All of your "digressions" have given light to many of the arcane things about ships and shipbuilding. I, for one, was a real fan of your Dutch shipyard piece; it helps to see the human element in creating all of these vessels. One or two of your talks have hinted at the rivalry between different nations and navies- some deeper "digressions" on how that has impacted how ships were built and conceived. Until that lecture, I never had thought of "built frame out" and "built bottom up" nor the implications that had on both ship building and ship handling. My late father was a Texas Aggie; he could get a little stuffy when his chosen topic didn't make the table on occasion. Kroum, do what you do; research and tell the histories, give them meaning, show how they effect us still. You've only just begun! Fred PS; Congratulations! Now make it ten K!

Congratulations on the one year anniversary. Keep up the good work.

Warm Greetings Dr. Batchvarov. A huge CONGRATULATIONS to you on the one year anniversary of your channel. I thoroughly enjoy your channel and try to view each episode as soon as I receive a notification. After viewing your videos, I feel like I've learned something new which often inspires me to research further. Here are a few ideas for future videos: 1. The evolution of the design and construction of the Galleon from the 16th century carracks to the more refined galleon which refers to Mathew Baker's drawing of a mackerel superimposed over a drawing of a 17th Century ship. 2. Evolution of the design and construction of the Clipper Ship from the early 19th century packet ships to the more refined designs of the 1860's by builders such as McKay, Webb and Griffiths. 3. How is a maritime archeological⚓ expedition planned from selection or discovery of the site, government permitting to explore the site, actual exploration of the site and recovery of artifacts. I watched a very interesting video the other day about an archeological team exploring a wreck in the black sea lead by archeologist John Adams. There was a very familiar face in that documentary. Please keep up the great work you are doing on this channel. It really helps neophytes such as myself learn and discover more. Greetings from Seattle Washington USA⚓

Due to your actual specialty, we now know how, and why, we will need to modify any kits we have. I have really enjoyed all of your videos since I found your channel. The more you know!

love this channel

👍👍👍👍👍

Congratulations to a very informative channel, I enjoy listening to your insights and knowledge of the various types of ships. I wished that history in school would have been this interesting. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations

Kroum congratulations on your first year. Your input is greatly appreciated. I am specially interested in the history of these ships. I am interested in the archeology of the wrecks. Perhaps at some time in the future you may want to introduce your viewers to the 1677 fleet that invaded and defended Tobago. One of my future projects will be to model one of each countries wrecks. Best to,you both. Kevin

Поздрави за годишнината от Западния Бряг!

When you make reference to the” love of your life “ I expect to hear the name Olha, I know you are referring to your career passion when you say Vasa, but you must admit, it does sound odd when you share your life with such a wonderful, talented , and artistic lady. ( Much younger than Vasa ) Respectfully.
