Interesting video "How an 18th Century Sailing Battleship Works"

Maybe this is worth a look:

Definitely worth a look if you want a full, but easy to understand, guide to the insides of the sort of ship you've been sailing in these games.

Yeah, I loved looking that video. My father was a sailor, and he also did build a few small yachts and models of a lot of historical sailing ships. Maybe that is, why I like that too.

And today I found this documentation. Sadly it´s a warships again, while I would love to see more docus about the more common ships of that time, like merchant ships for example. But maybe the Victory is such a useful object for a film, as she still exists. But my heart falls for cutter, schooners, barks, brigs, and such.
