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.

We have a video covering the Harrying of the North on our channel! czcams.com/video/XsKNn-dCKTE/video.html
Long videos is what makes You Tube the best of all platforms. Thank you history hit.
Every history video feels like a window into the past, bringing ancient tales to life
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 grew up in Portsmouth, nothing feels like home quite like HMS Victory
Historical painters were very generous with the headroom on the gundeck. Nobody has to stoop!
Gosh, I have been 12 times a Board HMS Victory . I grow up on Hayling Island. When ever visitors came , they had to see this ship.
To be honest ? I like HMS Warrior most .
Black Pearl better be on here
Love it! Thanks!
Marvellous Post, thank you.
The history of the England, a small island that ruled the seas for hundreds of years. I don't believe any other nation has the history to compete with the English. A remarkable people in my opinion.
more than 3 hours of pure pleasure.
Great series. Really good to see them collated into one like this. Nice one team! 🌟👍
Not to mention Sean Bean going back in time to help out and fight the French on the land!
I love all the artwork 😍
How did you guys get these accurate sources and detail?
I appreaciate that.
I noticed a rifle in the first class cabin on the wall the lower bunk on the Great Britain. Was that a decoration or did the cabins come with a working rifle and, if so, why? Otherwise, love all the vids I've seen so far. Thank you!! Cheers!!
Thank you.
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 .
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!
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.
Why is Turbinia not on that list? The world’s first steam turbine ship, built by George Parson at Wallsend.
Does anyone else feel like they were born in the wrong era.
Only every history nerd in history ever. I bet people in rome back in the day were like: "If only I could have lived back in Alexanders time and conquered the world with him" :D
I often do, I think traveling aboard a big sail ship like these would be interesting. Perhaps terrifying at times but still interesting
I'd rather stay in the comfort of the modern era and not die from scurvy or the other bazillion ways one could die back in those days
its hard to comprend how little life was valued in these wars
The VOC ship Batavia's story needs to be told.
The passengers in steerage, would they be able to fish for their food? Like if a guy brought his pole along would he be allowed to fish or would that be up to the captain?
2:32:35 Not one living person thought that there was even a remote chance of finding new people or a new spice trade in Antarctica.
1:32 The Dutch: Are we a joke to you? 🇳🇱
Who?
The most famous ship in history to me would be USS Yorktown CV-5....😉
Цікаве та пізнавальне відео. Дякую ❤️
Why is there German music in the background?
History hit sends in their tallest man to a ship meant for men a foot shorter than him
The Carpenter on board Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar was William Bunce, he was 6ft 7ins tall.
Yes britain was strong and yet the lost of the dutchies
USS Enterprise?
Why didnt they just take the bed space and make the state room bigger for a bed?
"Aboard the Most Famous Ships in *British* History" would perhaps be a more accurate title.
I'm not sure how the Swedish ship Götheborg fits in to that title.
@KungKarl one ship, with a short segment at the very end is just an outlier.
It's a very misleading title. This is a documentary on mostly on English ships and I bet most folks outside of the UK wouldn't considering most of these "the most famous"
The most famous ship when the British empire was at its peak... The biggest in the world... I think the title is fitting
CZcams titles are to get viewers to watch. If you got a bad titles then the video will not do well.
Where do you cite your source from?
Dan Snow studied history at Oxford and is an excellent presenter. As for sources - that's preposterous, it's a popular history show not an academic paper! Do you really think that any show that's about history should include pages of references?!
@@stumccabe Absolutely, because I have caught Dan Snow posting inaccurate claim of the Opium War on Twitter. I don't very trust him.

@@stumccabe I think even for "popular history" everyone has an obligation to provide their sources.

Cutty Sark became a symbol of British pluckiness after... losing.
God, that's the most British thing ever lmao
After losing what? I don't understand your comment. Cutty Sark was a merchant ship, a tea clipper.
Funny how the most famous ships in History are all british.
well considering that it is one of the oldest seafaring nations in the world it figures.
@@ageingviking5587True!
These videos are made in Britain
USS Constitution or an Iowa class are aguably way more famous then any ships in this video except Victory perhaps ;D
@@hernerweisenberg7052 there are other parts of the world, that don’t care for us ships.
Perle za Slonovaču, zlato i dijamante.
"Went Went"? "We Went", surely.
USS Constitution?
I ja bi znao tako! Opijum za čaj!😂
he said poop. lol
first!
well almost
I still think I will be the first to comment a youtube video at some point in time. And then I will be able to die without regret
Ummm, USS Constitution? Hello?
Kind of a misleading headline.
Should have been named "famous historical ships of the UK and Northern Europe"
While I got 2 hours in, I was pretty tired of waiting to see *anything* else other than UK ships
Indeed. Its like this with all their videos: "most famous something" and its allways british or in britain. The other day I watched "Hadrian's Wall: The Final Frontier Of The Ancient Roman Empire", and its was interesting, but the final frontier in britain? Makes it sound like the mighty roman empire was brought to a halt by scottish people alone xD
Your ignorance is showing.
Koji brodovi transportovaše žive ljude,preko Atlantika?
England history is full of majestic battles, they never talk about their allies.
Allies with Austria/Russia/France. They mis-used all their anemies.
And what a problems they had with the tiny country the Netherlands. 😂😂😂😂
Back down a little bit please.
Total hogwash!
Could you please use English pronunciation? The letter H is pronounced "aitch" and NOT "haitch" tut tut
Aboard the most famous British* ships in history
There, I fixed it for you. USS Constitution is far more famous than all of these ships, maybe aside from HMS Victory. So is USS Arizona.
