Wow, what a great find. I really hope they get the money they need to investigate it. And the hints of a pyratical cause to the ship's sinking just make it better.

Here's one online: http://www.sola-scriptura.ca/~hogarth/pira...ps_articles.htm

I liked seeing the scar scene, it shows what Jack's survived. But I can understand why they cut it out, seeing them is a bit jarring at that point in the movie. I haven't made my way through all the extra features yet, but I was impressed that they had historical commentary by David Cordingly.

A Sea of Words is the vocabulary book I was talking about. It's worth getting, I think, the explanations are great.

I hope they keep in as much of the terminology as possible, it sounds more authentic that way. And I agree that it will be easier to understand in a movie, because you can compare what's said to what's going on. I think this was the only series that I've had to buy a vocabulary book for, though.

I would also appreciate seeing pictures, whenever you could get them up.

I missed the ring question. But there were a few others I just guessed on, and was lucky enough to get right.

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking. -- John Masefield, Sea Fever
