Nelson's Battles in 3D: The Nile

WTF happened to the British Navy in 2026. It's a shit show.

I have seen the list of Nelsons Battles on this site. I see a suspicious omission. What the heck happened 1797 at the coast of Santa Cruz de Tenerife? You really omit the fight where Nelson lost his arm? Long live General Antonio Gutierrez de Otero !

Gorilla war in British of mother dad

Napolean may have been unbeatable on land.....but Nelson ruled the 7 seas. We are just lucky they were on opposite sides. If they fought together they would of surely ruled the world. More terrible foes i can not think of facing, if i did...they would all be mythical. Sometimes reading their careers...they almost seem so themselves.

european history always amazes me

How can British Ships of The Line be third rate? I believe they rank, 1st Rate.

Back in the day when 23 year olds had grey hair

Culloden was like na we're good.

God what a waste of human life. All of that for what? Your crew gets maimed you lose majority of your sailors. Such a waste.

This was exactly what I needed, thanks!

Was the L'Orient explosion the largest explosion in human history at the time?

Do the battle of Diu

Based colab

Forgive my ignorance, I know next to nothing about these types of battles. But why did the French not raise anchor and decable themselves?

I know they weren't fools, I just don't know enough to understand by myself.

I love sailing ships and battles
This channel is the GOAT

BTW, please can you do a WW2 one?

This shows how well th3 French ships were built as the explosion went up and not totals structure failure

The captain of L'Orient, Casabianca, had his 10 year old son on board with him during the battle. The boy was told to remain on the deck until his father returned. Ungirtunsrely tge Captain was killed ,but his son remained as he had been instructed. When L'Orient rcploded, the boy was killed. Some 20 years later Catgerine Bishop penned a mow famous poem which goes along the lines,"The boy stood on the burning deck". Made famous by a British comedian , Eric Morecambe.

Excellent presentation both visually and in narration.

This video should have been two hours long. I need, dare I say crave, more information!

But why did the French tied heavy ropes between their ships

stupidity to connect every ship before a fight . He tied their legs down before the fight .

The life and battles of Nelson would make insanely amazing movies.

How did these sailships change direction with no wind

love how nelson though he's dead

I’ve recreated this battle in Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail so many times from both sides.

It might be a little late to ask on this video, but where do you guys get your music? Because I'd give anything just to have it on the background while playing war games.

These videos are absolutely INSANE. Top tier quality.

I've been avoiding these due to the inevitably cartoonish AI sailing ships, but these weren't as bad as most. Understanding how some of the rigging works could help make them better. The bottom corners of the lower sails can't be held so widely when the ship is running straight downwind because there is nothing to make them do that. Each lower corner had a "sheet" to haul toward the rail aft & a "tack" to haul toward the rail forward. The combined tension could pull them downward but not outboard, & could only spread them wide when the yards were hauled sharply to one side or the other to sail upwind, tack pulling forward on one side while opposite sheet pulls aft on the other, which they could do but not nearly as sharply as a typical fore-&-aft-rigged sloop. How high a square-rigger can point into the wind (for any given hull design) depends in part on the skill of the helmsman & in part on how hard the Captain is willing to press his yardarms against his stays & backstays. "Been there, done that."

This is unbelievable

Very very sad that they were both in that situation. While I agree that the man should not have shot a woman who was no threat, the wrong person was up there for murder. The police better be continuing the investigation into the people who were behind it.

Currents and winds

This is honestly some of the most thrilling sh**t I’ve ever watched

french disaster could've been avoided if they didn't just sit there and waited the enemy. Instead, could've move up wind and formed diagonal facing one broad side to the enemy fleet.

im here for the Drachinifel

bugger medals i wowuld be back home looking after the women lol .

French army :)) They should never go in to war with a lider that is french born :)))

Spain missed an opportunity to 3rd party cleanup the British after the battle!

hats off to the captain of the Goliath to take that initiative maneuver. Also to Adm Nelson to allow his captains to improvise. This risky move won it for the British

Nelson is a hero of mine. And I’m not even British.
