My 2nd great-grandfather was a ship wright in Freeport, Maine in the early 1800's. This video gave me a glimpse of his trade. I really appreciate that!

Imagine your father teaching you something like this from a young age. It’s not just about the skill it’s the bond you build in those moments together. Great video.

Very interesting

17th century shipwrights would have been awed by the tool and techniques employed in creating this replica. Some they would indeed consider magic.

When the world is consumed with current technology such as AI it's reassuring to see crafts men and women construct this beautiful vessel. I was fortunate to see it in Barcelona 2023.

Good.
In a real human environment the real scale of these giant ships is better understood.
Such variety of craftsmanship ! Impressive capability.

These incredibly skilled workers are becoming a dying breed. Fewer and fewer remain. I don’t think today’s world really appreciates the skill and knowledge it takes to build something like this. My guess is 300 years ago these guys were just normal guys trying to feed their families

One of the amazing things here is the mastery of the wood species used. Each wood has its particular feature or materials specification that makes its use in that application required. It's like the ancient version of a materials engineer or scientist; and that nature provided just that type of tree, or plant that was needed. WTF? Blown away. Elm for this, Fir for that, Oak for that etc... Great vid.

THE AMOUNT OF SKILL AND LABOUR OF TODAY IS AMAZING, BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH WORK THIS WAS 300 YEARS AGO!!

@DuaneBettger 2 months ago

These men were great in their era. But imagine what the ancients did with stone we can't replicate today.

@jazminebabes2177 5 months ago

I can imagine how proud the builders must feel seeing this progress.
