I used to commercial fish on a small level. We could have hired natives from up north, who could clean a whitefish in 20 seconds. I got it down to about a minute a fish, and after dragging nets for 15 hrs we would go clean our own fish. I'd make about 1200$ for a full 24 shift. Then get a week off lol seemed like I was rich when I was 17. I wasn't, and it was fricken brutal, from pulling the nets, loading the fish, and cleaning them, all the while in -20 conditions, stinking and cold. Your hands quit working, you just become a zombie. No regrets lol wouldn't do it now

Fusee chain making was centred around north east Anglia near Kings Lynn. This is because of the quality of the light. You need natural light from a north facing window for horology and the skies around there are usually overcast and have a grey but bright diffuesed light with minimal direct sunlight. There are examples of the types of workshops the chains were made in with their north facing windows and yards.
Fusee watches were made right up to the introduction of the lever escapement in the laterl 19thC. They were still being made in the early 20th C

A guy signs up to be a sailor. After the second in command explains his jobs and the rules the new recruit asks, how does a sailor, you know, get satisfied on a ship?
The 2nd tells him, after your duties you can put, well, your thing in that barrel. Every day except for Thursday.
Why not Thursday? Asks the recruit.
Because thats your day inside the barrel!

I've, for an unknown reason, wanted to be a lighthouse operator since I was a young child. Now middle-aged, my wife has given into this idea and we keep looking for property that has a lighthouse (non-operational. We missed out on one in P. E. I last year and I still regret it.

if you were a land loving Saxon. Just how does this guy suppose the Saxons got to England? They walked? What a twit.
Does he think the tribes of northern Germany and Denmark were so totally different from those guys over there across the Skaggerat?

24: 50 I've worked out our latitude but all that tells me is we're somewhere in the world along this line. Wrong, it means you WERE somewhere in the world along that line when you took the reading half an hour ago, god only knows where you are now.

My 7th great grandfather was a mariner employed by the Honourable East India Company, he died shortly after writing his will in 1757 during the 7 year war. Whereas I feel sick when I cross on the Woolwich ferry.

imagine a boatload of millenials doing these jobs - at least your average Boomer would have a go (when they were kids - not now with 70 year old backs) but kids these days?

Great British heroes like Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Francis Drake? Clearly this wasn't made in the 2020s. I don't think there's a statue left standing of either in England.

some editors know how to destroy a film can hear anything he says when anything is going on in background why have a narrator of a battle scene that you cant understand.

1778 is not 900 years ago, significant time spent maybe not but What was done however is sufficient to shew that not all their boasted navy can protect their own coasts

I think it was wolfs rock, the keeper had to live with his wifes dead body for a month or two.
Tony is doing the best British Mike Rowe I could have imagined.

The music in this documentary is so strange, it's loud, inappropriate and distracting. I had to keep pausing it check if something was playing on another tab.

Boats should not leak like that at all. Have they not put flax in between the planks? And or tar? Even the vikings used tar on their ships to make them waterproof?

Viking doesn't mean sea warrior, it roughly means explorer. People would 'go Viking' wich pretty much meant go exploring. The pillaging part was just cultural.
