70% of the world's surface is covered with water. For some, the sea proved an impregnable wall. You can't walk on water, nor swim very far. If you lived on an island, you were stuck. Going out in a small boat could have you destroyed by a storm, or starved to death in the middle of nowhere. But for those able to harness the dangers of the ocean, it meant total freedom.

I wrote this script during summer and didn't write down the sources I used, so I don't remember all of them. But it's mostly based on Jan Glete's books:

Ah yes. The prequel to Gold and Gunpowder
even tho the low countries (Netherlands, Belgium, luxembourg) weren't independent yet, they too had a standing navy in the 1400's and 1500's established by Jean sans peur, the Burgundian duke. known as the bande d'admiralité, it required all 3 of the 17 provinces that had a coastline to provide a certain amount of ships, depending on their size, that were always available and equipped for war. Brabant while landlocked also had to comply to a limited extend, as Antwerp was the largest sea port of all at that time making it four admiralities in total. the engravings by the Bruges artist Willem Van der Cluyse (W.A.) give a good idea of Flemish ships in the mid 15th century, his depiction of a carrack shows a large threemasted ship, equipped with cannons already.
Pett Dynasty was a family of shipwrights who prospered in England between the 15th and 17th centuries. It was once said of the family that they were "so knit together that the Devil himself could not discover them".[1] This saying refers to the era during which Samuel Pepys was much involved in getting royal aid for Ann Pett, widow of Christopher Pett. The Petts Wood district of south-east London is named for the family.[2]
It's a very interesting period of how the sailing ship evolved from it's humble beginnings.
Most Kino intro you've ever done, by the way
I love how late medieval age ships look like floating castles
The Dutch were ahead of the curve with fast efficient ships. Plus they made sure their sailors could SWIM. An ancestor was a leader of the Sea Beggars- Willem II Van der Mark........ history is fun!
Awesome well made videos as per usual
Very nice video again. Quite a broad topic but good overview. It was informative. Cheers!
Very nice! An important challenge for the development of Dutch naval power was access to high quality ore for the production of cannons. Sweden was, and is, a prime source. An enterprising Dutchman, called Louis de Geer I think, managed to get control of the Swedish mines as well as smelting and cannon fabrication. De Geer actually exported these cannons to Amsterdam and the Swedes had to go to Amsterdam to buy cannons made from Swedish steel. De Geer made out like a bandit. I can only conclude that the Swedes in the seventeenth century must have been very trusting people.
but what about galleys?
another great video, cheers bud.
what about them indeed
@@balticempire7244 something ...probably. ; )
Awesome use of historic art really adds to the stories
Best history narrator ever!
I was wondering how sailing changed from the medieval. Very interesting and entertaining. Beautiful artwork.
Always love your videos on both channels! Another amazing video!
Very good video. Interesting information. Thanks
You have a very good way to put your voice and to narrate. 👍🏻 very olasing to hear. And interesting with that !
great channel keep them coming, well done
best channel fR!
8:30 BIG MISTAKE. The first nations to use guns on sailing ships were the venetians on their galleys and the portuguese on their caravels in the 1460s
galleys are not ships
4:34 You have foreseen this!
still a big lie. The ship he talked about was a carrack. That type of ship Wass developed by the portuguese so it is impossible that the french were the first to use heavy cannons on ships if the portuguese, the spanish and the venetians were using them years before Marie la Cordelière had been built. Moreover the author states it was the largest ship to use heavy cannons wich is another lie, there were ships like the São João Batista who carried 300 guns, thats way more guns than the Cordeliere had.
So in other words, the only one that's trying to be a smartass is the author, because he is skiping important information and is excusing himself on that by pointing the finger to other people that may know more than him.
@@balticempire7244no they're ice creams
You should do a collaboration with Drachinifel...
Seriously good stuff

"Spain was wanted full autistic control over their colonies"
No truer description can be said about this time period 😆
I was five videos in before I realized it was the Gold and gun powder guy lol
eu4 trade good icons in the intro caught me off guard lmao
Super
nice
Hmmm... You had the wrong "peppers" showing in Asia. The "peppers" you showed came from the Americas.
unfortunate
@@balticempire7244 I'm probably the only pedant here :P But I often wonder what they used in Asia to spice things up before the capsicum family were introduced. Butter chicken without tomatoes? Not to mention Italian cooking :P
Is there somewhere a reliable source about evolution of ships and ship types by name and how those types/names changed and evolved through times? Thanks for any help. 😊
my compliments to your dutch tongue!
Speaking out the VOC in full isnt the easiest.
only took 10 attempts
YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
17:02 Spanish Armada in 1688? Mate you're 100 years off, it was 1588. Hope that was just a slip of the tongue, your videos normally seem very well researched. Thanks for the content.
👍👍👍
Remember the whales 😎
Lol, how did you find this "VOC mentaliteit" quote from former Dutch prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende? 😋
Did you say, "Spain wanted full autistic control"?
Making a video about european sailing and barely talking about Portugal is mad
