Notable landmark reached!
Yesterday, the short of our deck cadet: Tom, operating the ship starboard telegraph crossed the 1 Million view barrier!
This is the first time this has happened on our YouTube channel and as you can imagine from the recent and significant surge in traffic to the video over the last couple of months, it’s taken all of us on the ship by surprise.
To everyone who has watched the video, shared it, commented, liked or anything: thank you.
Watching videos like this and having them be pushed by the almighty algorithm is important for us, it ensures we have our voice heard as a non-profit charity working towards maritime preservation and as we continue to preserve the ship now and in the future.
