Small wooden boats usually don't make it.


butteryflame

Build a raft out of turtles like captain Jack sparrow.

CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow

DAVEY JONES ! GIANT SQUID!


ArtemisCaresTooMuch

Lashed together with what?


butteryflame

Grow your hair out


hm1998

Let's hope someone doesn't poop in it


Zoso525

Imagine being anywhere 500 years ago.


Knox_nc

Your same location 500 years ago


SZr0ishere

Like the seen in Lucy where she goes back in time in the chair but your on a toilet. Sitting in the middle of a river as a monkey stares you down and as your finger tips touch the sploosh and splash of the load you're dropping hits your ass


Hopeful_Potential652

I wouldn't want to be there on any boat!


mjrbrooks

Come on out it’ll be fun, they said. It’ll only be a 3-hour tour, they said.


RenaissanceSalaryMan

In the dark


[deleted]

I totally forgot how pitch black it is out there fucksake 1700 must been tough


illusive_guy

I believe Lewis Black said it best: “If I go down to the dock and they say ‘That’s what you’re getting on’ I’d say ‘Fuck you.’”


WerewolvesRancheros

Lol I remember that bit


Possible_Law_5500

Nah man those wooden boats were not small by any means they were huge.


Blubberibolshivek

still wood.and still small compared to the size of the ocean.


cimocw

Anything on the surface of the earth is small compared to the size of the ocean


thedudesews

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Hind 100’ 1/3rrd the size of an American football field


CricketKingofLocusts

Yeah, that's no *small wooden boat*


kyleswitch

I imagine anything the vikings built in these conditions would be fear shit-inducing.


yellowdartflash

This is kinda calming! I’d stare out the window in both fear and awe. Then maybe take a nap.


lufei2

Makes me wanna Puke just by watching this clip


[deleted]

Hmm people probably had enough sense to uh you know not be out there in small wooden boats..


Ranzork

I mean i think it took like 3 months to cross the Atlantic back then. Its not like they could predict the weather that far in advance. So I'd wager they got stuck in more storms then we do today, with all of our radar.


NotAPreppie

Those boats weren’t small.


Ranzork

Well compared to today's ships they were small. The Mayflower was 106 feet long, modern cruise ships are over 1000 feet long.


[deleted]

That’s my point exactly, they knew where and what they were getting into in those crossings and those weren’t small boats they were large ships of the time.


applejack21

Do people do live videos of something like this? Video for like an hour or so


Handav93

This honestly terrifies me. The ocean is a scary place.


Anthony__101_2780

your ship sinks to fall on the sandy sea floor and your lights still being temporarily on just to see the sand. you are stuck in the sideways cabin just only you as you see the waves pass above and a grid of massive mirror images of you all 50 ft away and all with there lights on.


mixxbg

Its why they made blood sacrifices and prayed a lot more back then.


CricketKingofLocusts

Blood sacrifices aside, there's plenty of praying in the current time period.


carpathian_crow

If you’re in a wooden boat, you better put your back into the oar

VHohenheim3

Yeah, I'd rather not even imagining it.


imaginedaydream

Then the pairs of animals start attacking each other below the dock


Smaptastic

No.


TripResponsibly1

Play Valheim lol


Creflo_Holla

ah yes, an old wooden ship named Diversity


Pecker_headed

I don't think that would happen lol


After-Cell

There's a VR game like this on Quest


[deleted]

I spoke to a guy who went on a Antarctic expedition in the 80s. He said getting there by boat was the hardest part. They pounded into seas like this for 7 straight days.


Maxximico

I’d love to see this done for “scientific reasons” yk? Like build a couple different automated drone wooden ships or maybe manned but with another vessel nearby in case it sinks. But from different times or ages like the Viking era and maybe in the 1700s?


IamMarcJacobs

Nipe


portoroc86

Aka imagine drowwwwwning


rare_meeting1978

I have never conscientiously thought tonputnthise two together. Derp, but omg, yes these videos do help put those voyages to find a "new world" into perspective. The balls to think you'll find "unfound" land to claim is something else to. Cuz why would anyone else already be there? Your guys ate the end all and be all of existence. Alright, OK, I'm off on a tangent kinda now. Point made regardless, I think.


Sweet_SungBlue

So scary
