An examination of some of the key British ships in maritime history. Ships documented include the Golden Hind, Cutty Sark, SS Great Britain, Mary Rose, HMS Victory and HMS Victory.
Interesting and edifying. I have a fairly good knowledge of ships and I still found much of the information new and helpful. Does focus solely on British ships, but this doesn't narrow the selection of ships too much. Decent selection of ships, spread across several periods of maritime history.
On the negative side, I do find Rob Bell's delivery rather over-dramatic and theatrical. Maybe he's just naturally that enthusiastic but it felt a bit superficial to me.
