  It is truly mind boggling how such a quality production hasn&apos;t yet been cemented as the standard for making historical documentaries. Epic History TV leads the way!

  I cannot tell you how many years I’ve wanted a series on YouTube exactly like this, absolutely amazing job!

  This channel is truly a gold standard in historical documentary. I adore HMS Victory and the Napoleonic Wars, and nowhere else do I get the sense that my intense passion is so equally shared than I do here. Even though I knew much about HMS Victory owing to reading on the subject, this miniseries was a profound joy to watch, interesting and awe-inspiring all-through. Your series on Napoleon&apos;s Marshals introduced me to a series of inspirational and deeply interesting characters, many of whom I&apos;ve come to admire profoundly since learning of. <br><br>Romanticising the Napoleonic Wars is something I may be very guilty of, but I am filled with emotion at the exploration of these times and the people that forged them. Such pride, inspiration, courage and glory the world so seldom seems to see these days, and yet this era has it in abundance.<br><br>I do so adore these videos and hope they may long continue. Thank you to all involved. Your work is so deeply appreciated. :)

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrC3yMMDsc8&amp;t=291">4:51</a> It&apos;s great that we know the names of all of Victory&apos;s crew. None of them have been forgotten.

  This and the previous episode was absolutely phenomenal. This is the best series I have ever seen on such sailing warships of the Napoleonic period, by far. It is so so good to have video that is not only thoroughly researched, but also uses both numbers, examples, and illustrations to showcases the ship and life aboard it. Absolutely outstanding work with this one!

  If you ever visit the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth and are lucky, you might get to see the Fore topsail that Victory was using during the Battle of Trafalgar, &nbsp;all the holes, and rips you can see are the result of battle damage. It is very rarely on display these days, only for a few days at a time, and on special occasions.

  It would be cool to see a series detailing napoleonic regiments or units, similar to the Napoleons marshals series. Good content otherwise! 👌

  Portuguese gun crews of the 15th-16th centuries invented cannon shot skipping as a way to maximize the use of the Caravel as a highly maneuverable sniping platform.

  A french tourist on a visit to HMS Victory asked the guide if the canonballs on the ship were the original ones from the Battle fo Trafalger, to which the guide replied &quot;no sir, your navy still has those&quot;
