I was wondering if you could do a video covering the harrying of the north? It’s such an important yet forgotten part of English history, northern England still hasn’t recovered nearly 1000 years later, and it’s a big reason why the north-south divide is even a thing.

I have served in the navy and lived my life on the sea, literally. Personally I have a link to Robert Blake, who is always forgotten about and who Nelson credits his abilities to. I am trying to find the resting place of the first St George (1622) which was where Blake died on in 1657 after smashing the Dutch and Spanish. It was sunk as a hulk off Sheerness in 1699 and planning to cross the world to find it. The RN and RN museums have no knowledge of where it is. Blake was interred in Westminster after a state funeral yet is pretty much forgotten. The memory of General at sea (Admiral) Robert Blake is kept alive by very few. Great telling of Nelson though.

I've always found it odd that with their state of engineering, that they never developed a "manual propeller" for times when there was no wind? Oars worked for Vikings & Romans, etc but these ships were much bigger. I think that they could've developed a manual means of propulsion during those times....would've been a game changer for sure!
@crossman07QB
4 ай бұрын
Some frigates and other smaller ships were equipped with sweeps that would help maneuver and position the ship when there was not enough air, this was not a form of propulsion. Besides actually towing the ship using the ship's rowboats there are no other options available. However, other propulsion methods would not be invented until steam power was harnessed and later the combustion engine was invented.

French designs were more innovative and were often admired and copied by the British , French ships taken as prizes were examined and their lines entered into admiralty records for future reference but the copies were generally adapted to British needs with a heavier build improved stowage for stores and British pumps .
