There is a sister ship to the Royal Clipper that was finished 3 years ago and was just docked due to legal issues of ownership. I believe it will commence sailing this year with a larger crew and passenger capacity Overall length is around 50 feet more than the Royal but the design is identical. I spent 2 weeks on the Royal last year from Venice yo the Riviera and loved it.

Very cool one of the few cruises i would take I've sailed square riggers my whole life at different times but nothing like this

Incredible story!😳

My grand father also served on tall ships before becoming a minister in the church of Scotland ,his first parish as a junior was Leith but he ended up as the Glasgow Fire Brigade Chaplin so was carried to the Necropolis on the back of a Fire enjoin. (Honor guard) I Don't know how many masts he sailed under but it would have been earlier than most of these as he would have started as a child sailor and by 1901 when Queen victoria died he was 31.he had my mum aged 56 I think, and I'm 62

Your comment caused me to reflect that many Germans settled on chile in this period - though mostly way down in the south. Was there a connection between the nitrate clippers and the German diaspora to sudamerica?

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Thank you! It's really incredible to sail on such ships.

They're schweinhunds. 😂

I thought something similar but 'Proysen' might be pronounced 'Preusn'. Maybe 'Proyzen' would be closer.

He also calls the stern the stem.

@@BaronFeydRautha Because that is the stem, that's been damaged.

Thank you!

Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung und Ihr Verständnis

Thank you!

It's not truly exact in Naval Architecture because nobody increases all the dimensions by the same factor. For a displacement boat the most important factor is the length as it's the first limiting element of speed, second it's the width of the hull, third the depth plus the hull lines. If you have enough righting torque the best if you want a good speed is to have a long slim hull with sweet lines (less drag) and you'll need less surface sail by ton to achieve the desired speed, another advantage you get better mean speeds. You add the factors limiting the size of the masts. So the law cube/square does not apply directly. Furthermore, the same law plus the laws of mechanical inertia permits lighter hulls while having a larger volume. After that, the design depends of the speed you need. A tea ship making China or India to England was a racer able of 18 knots like the Cutty Sark. A bulk carrier of guano or any bulk merchandise between Chile and Europe by the Horn did not need so high speed, but had to be seaworthy and "easy" to tune specially sails by a small crew, although these boats often got excellent mean speeds..

I think, they are just in different categories. And full-rigged ship is usually considered square-rigged on all of masts. Just compare the sail area of Preussen of 6,806 m2 to Wyoming's 3,700 m².

As noted in the video, only full rigged square rigged ship.

For cars, a coupe is not a sedan, and neither is a wagon. It’s a uniform naming convention to distinguish, by name, the type of sail layout and rigging of a ship. A sloop, is not a ketch, which is not a yawl. A Brig is not a Barquentine, which is not a Barque, which is not a fully rigged ship, which is not a schooner. Sometimes the number of masts matter i the naming conventions, sometimes not. Welcome to the world of sailing and ships!

@@stogierob What carries the type name has changed over the centuries. USS Constitution is a frigate and so was USS Brumby FF-1044 (my old ship) but they share nothing in common.

@@steven4315 the USS Constitution is a three masted, fully rigged ship. Her warship classification as a frigate meant that she was smaller than a fifth rate ship of the line, but larger than a sloop of war. In decades prior, a frigate would have been called a sixth rate. Frigates of the time were single gundeck ships. The Constitution was one of the largest at 44 24-pound cannon. The smallest frigates could have between 22-26 12-pound cannon. Size and armament had more to do with the military classification of a ship. There were several different sail plans and ship designs that could all be grouped into a military classification. The Constitution and your frigate likely served in similar roles within the fleets of their respective times.

The Nancy was a 5 Mast Schooner, the Video is talking about full-rigged ships. The only 5 mast full rig cargo ship was the Preussen.

Interesting, thanks!

Yes, and this is amazing!

Something like that

And the crew knew each line, in the dark.

I couldn't tackle the number of blocks they purchased.

😀

You are really right 👍

It’s great that the PREUSSEN, which had such a short life, has been re-created.

It's not WTF. It's called LTA nowadays. A line-throwing apparatus (LTA) is a self-contained device that shoots a rocket projectile to a considerable distance while attached to a line. It is mostly used during rescue operations but sometimes on a ship-to-ship transfer where normal methods of contact using heaving lines don't work.

@@uasupply we have a joke in Canada that comes from a TV show called 'Trailer Park Boys.' They say "it's not rocket appliances!" (instead of rocket science)

Oh,ok. I see 😀👍

In this day and age AI would have done it better. I am still human, don't worry, reading a lot of material and using various resources to prepare this video for the sake of preserving maritime history and industry. For the voiceover I am using available resources, simply because my accent you will not understand at all. I make these videos for free, you want to watch them for free, so apologies for any mispronunciations etc.

Please read the description. It is indeed claimed that the Royal Clipper is the largest "true sailing ship" built since Preussen. Her design was based on the Preussen. But the Royal Clipper is a cruise ship and it has an engine. Is there a difference in going to sea under sail only or under sail knowing you have an engine?

@@uasupply "The only five-masted, full-rigged sailing ship ever built" is NOT TRUE, ! Also Your statement, that the Royal Clipper is a cruise ship and has an engine, doesn't change this untrue statement! Sorry, but that a "true" sailing ship should be a ship without engine, is no definition!

With all respect, "a "true" sailing ship should be a ship without engine, is no definition!" Actually it is. The Official COLREGs Rule 3 (General definitions) (c) The term "sailing vessel" means any vessel under sail provided that propelling machinery, if fitted, is not being used. Ok, at least let Preussen be the first, alright?

Quite good, but with a sharp "s" not with a sounding "z"

Thank you! I'll work on it.

The unnatural accents, weird pacing, and bad pronunciation are dead giveaways that whoever did this video was either careless or clueless and relied on bad AI.

Step up.

Ok

What about human garbage? What in your comment refers to sailing ships? What have you done for the maritime industry? You don't even seem to understand what AI is to be able to identify anything. The text and videos are created by experienced sailor who spend time researching and editing the videos. And it doesn't take much human intelligence to realize that a voiceover tool is being used since the author is not a native speaker.

You watched the video didn't you?
