How a ship made of oak, rope and canvas became the most complex machine of its age. Wooden Warships is a documentary channel about the engineering of the Age of Sail: frigates, ships of the line, the guns they carried and the men who built and fought them. Each episode takes one vessel or one weapon apart, piece by piece, with cinematic visuals and a narrator who has read the shipwright's manuals. New episode every two weeks.
