Does Drachinifel do good research? Interview

Drachinifel is a history Youtuber specializing in naval history from the sixteenth century Age of Sail to 1950. I’ve been impressed by the integrity of his research, the depth of his analysis, and his ability to narrativize history in a manner which is both appealing and faithful to the historical sources he uses. Does Drachinifel do good research? In my view, yes he does, and this interview confirms it.
