I missed this story when it happened (in 2023) so I’m glad to learn about it now!

That’s Monty Python movie-esque stuff though!

“[We] did not expect to see a merchant ship from the East India Company of the 18th-century. This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it?”

There's a story about one of the (modern) Kalmar Nyckel's first voyages, she apparently was one of the only other ships around to respond to a marine fire. The crew directed the fire hoses at the vessel but I believe it ended up sinking anyway.

This was right in the harbor though, not out in the English Channel
