Fascinatingly informative and helpful to ship modelers, who often have problems locating trustworthy information.

maybe a video, about the history of the carrack how did we get from a cog to big gun ships, and what is the archeology we have compaired to the paintings and drawings that survive.

It is early , yet my Sunday for the most part is now complete, listening to your talks set the stage for what you sign off with, a wonderful day that started with your video. Thank you!!

Thankyou again.

oh that was a nice one again😁 many years ago I had a yew longbow with about 100lbp drawwaight. but I sold it cos I was not able to use it. What is faszinating to me is the vast collection of dayly use items found on the mary rose.... One of the famous lanterns, the one with the domed top, I tryed to make a reconstruction..... even thou that I used a motorized wood laith and not a spring pole laith it was a joy to se the result. The hard part was the oiled rawhide for the glasses. There was only the oak frame left of the original... so thanks again for your nice contend 😁

You have provided an excellent respite from eggs and bunnies. Thanks and now it is time for some port and a cigar , so Happy Easter!

Dr. Batchvarov, Thank you for another fine and informative video lecture. Until a viewed your lectures on the Vasa and Mary Rose, I was not very interested in ships of the 15th or 16th centuries. Your video lectures have rekindled my interest in dusting off a partly completed model of the Golden Hinde and finish it. I will probably interpret this model as the Pelican. Several weeks ago I saw a documentary on the Mary Rose done by the BBC I believe. The crux of this documentary involved an analysis of the skeletal remains and documenting where each of them was found on the ship. As I recall, DNA analysis indicated that much of the crew were from foreign countries such as Sweden, Norway and other seafaring countries. Although this documentary is far from a scholarly work, does it at least keep the door open to the possibility that a major cause of the sinking of the Mary Rose was due, at least in part, to the crew not understanding the orders of the captain? I presume the captain's orders would have been in English. I would be interested in your thoughts.

As I said in 'Chat', thank you Doctor. You made my Easter Sunday with that. I'd love to discuss Henry's navy with you over a Coffee. I'd bore you with my questions. I do have the Caldercraft kit in my stash of 'things to do'.

Thank you very much for this interesting video. I wonder what can already be said about the remains of the forecastle. Early reconstructions and some kits had it cut down, resembling the bow of early galleons. But in the past years people tend to think of it more as depictured in the Anthony roll so maybe the dispute (if there ever was one) can now be settled?

As with most research done on ships of this time frame, the only thing keeping us from further knowledge is time and money! An interesting episode!!

Thanks for returning back to the main road of your channel! I would like to get your opinion on the sizes of the fore and stern castles. McElvogue has argued in his AotS that one should take the Anthony Roll depiction as a blueprint, but at the same time admitted that the archeological evidence is not sufficient. What is the current state of research?

The ship's name, or names, is a fitting topic for Easter Sunday and Biblical references. You mentioned the boarding netting as a possible cause for the death of many sailors. Was this because they got tangled in the netting and drowned?

Very interesting!!! thank you so much Kroum Batchvarov 💙💛✌️

👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the new video, Dr. B. I’m assuming your comments on Henry’s “marriage management “ were meant as sarcastic humor, as your dry wit often allows. Or should Olha be nervous…? ;-)

😂 If only you had left out marriage management. 😮
