Nice video, Rob!
Nice video, Rob!
Cheers Sven. I will have a look for any more when I get a moment.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Very impressive Jonas.
This adds not only a whole new view of the fire power, but for me takes us back to when we watched the raising of the Mary Rose, and its subsequent renovation over the last 30 years.
So impressed that I watched the rest of the videos in Swedish. Fancy doing me a translation? just joking, but many thanks for finding this for us. Got to be Rep worthy.

Here's one to train your Swedish... some good extra footage.
Scientists at the Vasa museum made the replica from an original.
Enthusiasts were present at the firing. (The guy in uniform is almost 100 years too late.)
350 m/s muzzle velocity.
Slow motion filmed in 4000 pictures a second.
Some of the cannonballs hit some furs 500 meters behind the target.
The purpose was primarily shrapnel (or splinters).
Yes! Another good find Jonas. A far larger example of what we found when we fired a musket ball at an old oak desk lid, and decided that gun fights from behind card tables or horse troughs unless they were filled to the brim, was asking for trouble.

This one is really just a bit of fun.

Any save place on a sailing ship.
I can understand that the British trained their crews like hell to deal out more broadsides...
They keep telling me that the Orlop deck is the safest place to be,
