We have a clear winner from our latest poll - HMS Victory! 

I'll be working with Simon from HistoryRebuilt.com to create a unique guide to the famous British warship. It will be an interesting challenge, and a great opportunity to talk about the naval dimension of the Napoleonic Wars. I've also just finished the audiobook version of Patrick O'Bryan's Post Captain, so I'm already in a nautical frame of mind..

There will be a few technical challenges to get to grips with for this video - a lot of rigging, a lot of water! - so I won't guess at a release date yet, but there'll be regular Patreon updates as the project progresses. 

Thank you all for being involved, and thank you for your support!

Would love to hear a bit about the logistics and work that went into building ships-of-the-line, especially as many were built in a pre-industrial age!
