The Tragic Story Of The Victorian RMS Tayleur | How The Victorians Built Britain | Absolute History

The Victorians built the most technologically advanced ships in the world, helping to dominate the high seas in peace, war, leisure and trade. They even created the first submarine.

Britannia Rules The Waves is another fantastic documentary from Absolute History. Thank you for inspiring me to watch and learn.

Absolutely fascinating! And an incredible story of how the ordinary people--especially British women, contributed to the construction of that cutting-edge warship

watched the whole thing really enjoyed it

37:10 "A design for a boat that could travel underwater was first floated..." I see what you did there

[baileybrunson]

I can't help but notice the similarities (approximate size and shape, duel propulsion, collapsible funnel, probably the retractable screw too for cleaning up the hull to sail faster) between HMS Warrior and the CSS Alabama which was also British built (in Birkenhead, England I think). I wish Alabama was here to enjoy as well.

Is it just me or does Turbinia's bow wave at 35:10 look like it's been painted onto the photograph?
And the Holland Sub's pitted surface makes me curious about how she passed the time between decommission and restoration.
The Great Britain has been through some less that glorious times and I find it astonishing
what an effort has been made to rebuild her insides. I hope to see her for real some day.

The Titanic sank after Queen Victoria's reign and actually after Edward VII's reign. The Titanic sank in George V's reign.

I would love to go on a ship ride with Jock Willis.
Maybe even be able to wear that fancy hat.

So when are we going to cover the Lexington/Concord thing?

[paulazemeckis]

Great documentary. I thought the Hunley was the first sub back in America's civil war?

Who chose the title for this video? It's misleading

[jamesbugbee]

Could have taken a side trip to see what is in effect a William White pre-dreadnought, IJN Mikasa, sole representative of 40+ battleships which were the true representatives of British naval supremacy, in the end-Victorian & Edwardian era.

[Meine.Postma]

What I want to know is how long the "Warrior" was the biggest battle ship.

[ronalddevine]

How did all of this, especially Warrior, impact the U.S. Navy?
I'm sure it had major implications.

[SyntaxError]

I wish I pronounced anything as delightfully as he pronounces "experiment".

[hrvojebartulovic]

Being a non English speaker, the thing that blows my mind is how all English speakers whenever talking about the sea say "the
And yet they call the French "the frogs"!
Rulers of the water 🤕

[thecreepynightshiftguy]

Horribly titled video. Yeah, they cover the RMS Tayleur... just about 19 minutes into the video! Don't blink though, they finish up with the Tayleur about 6 minutes later. 86% of the runtime has nothing to do with the Tayleur. This is pure clickbait. I'm glad I used an ad-blocker.

[thekingdomofnarwhals]

I'm sorry but HOW DID NO ONE NOTICE THESE ISSUES BEFORE THEY LEFT. I understand not knowing about the rudder BUT HOW DO YOU MISS 2 MISSING ENGINES???

[me-nah]

You forgot slavery, class warfare, child labour, colonial subjugation.
