British Monarchs don't have genders, they have sexes.

That’s my great great great grandfather 🥹🫡

I was a rum boson back n the late 60's on HMS Condor near Arbroath in Scotland. Tots were served either at lunchtime or at 5pm and much bargaining took place with "sippers' and "sandy bottoms" being traded for favours.

And by tradition, the Royal Marines never stand for the Loyal toast (as they're RN personnel). There's a lot of arguing about it with the other branches but the best argument I've heard is 'The Navy is the senior branch of the forces, so you adapt to us, not the other way around.'

This video was so fun! Thanks for making great stuff Caroline 💕

how is that my niche exactly wtf

girl not me being a gay sailor and coming across this video...

To quote a toast of my late father in law who served in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm in the British Pacific fleet in WW2….. “Here’s to it and to it again, let him who gets to it and doesn’t do it, never gets to it to do it again”

Oh wow, that was very interesting and informative, especially the language part. Thank you and Happy Pride 🎉🏳️‍🌈

OMG this was so cool!! I love all the research that went into it. Thank you!

nowadays the ships are dry

Sandy Bottoms.

Great information, I have got to visit the Providence one day!

Great information! People today could benefit from learning about the great properties of these natural materials.

Is that the boarding axe from Townsends?

Enjoyed the rhymes. Excellent presentation by Quartermaster Kit. Glad he included G. Washington's fishery. The importance of shad to the Army at Valley Forge was new to me.

Great Video! I would expect the rum ration to be watered down into grog but I wonder how John Paul Jones treated the rum ration

Wow I love it. Looks like you guys have a lot of fun out there!

How did you get your period correct horn spoon that amazing teal color? I very surprised that you liked the hardtack best.

this video is so good im obsessed frrr

Price please

I love this song but what is 'Marengo' and why 'fire' him away?

To wives and to sweethearts - may they never meet!

Wow Providence is a beautiful ship, Thanks for explaining. this was the only one i could find about how dry docks worked.😀

In fiction, my favorite captain is Horatio Hornblower. In real life, Dewey, Farragut, Halsey, and Perry would be at the top in no particular order.

My dad had a striking Seth Thomas Ship's Bell clock when I was a kid. I've just always known ship's time.

Well done, Jessie. Pro-tip: remember to look at the camera or audience as often as possible when reading. This will be very difficult at first but quickly gets easier with practice.

Great lecture! The story of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror is always fascinating, and tragic. I can’t imagine slowly dying due to being absolutely trapped in ice, eating lead poisoned canned food, and being forced to make a last ditch attempt to walk through the unforgiving environment 🥶

Beautiful!!

Excellent!

Unreal

Thanks, you just helped me write my paper :)

Love your content, fantastic

Grest video, very informative, new subscriber here, Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪⚓

Clack clack

I'd very much like to hear about the boatswain whistle and commands!

I always wondered what Riker was talking about in that scene from Generations when Mr. Worf got promoted :-) Thank you for the great upload and information! My grandfather, rest his soul, was a retired 30 year navy veteran as a Chief Machinists Mate. I try to pick up a little sailing knowledge in his memory. He had a Captains house built just across from Kings Park, Newport around 1895 and always rang a big brass bell at the back door to call us grand-kids in for lunch, a bell he either stole or was given to him from his last ship, my mom said it was for his retirement. You could hear that thing a mile away. Always made me jump out of my skin if I was hiding in the backyard and wasn't expecting it lol. I wish I could figure out where that bell actually came from. I polished it up from its dismal deep copper color and stored it away for maybe my grand-kids when I have a house and my daughter finds the time and a decent guy.

The story of the Franklin expedition is one of my all time favorites! Highly recommended the TV show “The Terror” for a compelling depiction of it

Excellent.

are you sitting in a sauna?

Amazing

Based on content quality, Providence should have at least 10,000 subscribers by now. Thank you.

Wonderful explanations and demonstration, thank you for sharing! I actually enjoyed standing watch, especially during the day-keen to spot wildlife (and of course keep an eye out for any floating hazards). Would be curious to see how comfortable the hammocks were back then!

Amusing and informative!

A charming and intrepid crew aboard a fine ship! Truly a must-see experience in beautiful Alexandria, thank you all for bringing history to life.

Thank you featuring John Paul "I have not yet begun to fight!" Jones, a truly remarkable maritime figure. If I may, another individual in American Naval History you might find interesting is the unstoppable privateer Thomas Boyle, "The Pride of Baltimore," who released a hilarious proclamation personally declaring war on the United Kingdom after the war of 1812 kicked off.

Excellent topic! Many years ago a mishoon was launched at Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, crafted by members of the Wampanoag Tribe (and after educational demonstrations, brought to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum). Had also seen an exhibit about Wampanoag sailors aboard mid-18th/19th century whaling ships, and how they were regarded as especially skilled seafarers.

...very neglected topic...! ...good to hear something about it...finally...! 👍
