capnwilliam Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Aye, and the wind in me face, and the acrid smell o' black powder. But the blood spurtin' on me was just TOO realistic! Capt.

Cracked Carrie Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Thar be a new book out called " Patrick O'Brians Navy" I've gotten the chance to thumb through it at the local bookstore. To me, it looked great! Now, bear in mind I'm only just learning about all things nautical, and so I dunno if it might be too basic for some. But for me, I've got it on me wish list as well.

Matusalem Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I have seen the HMS Rose, when it was docked in Bridgeport, Ct. a few years ago ,, right on Long I. sland Sound. It was walking distance from where I went to college. The ship, I recall, was quite small but the movie made it appear twice as big as it is in reality. It also does not have the fancy great-cabin with all the windows, which was retro-fitted for the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 That ship is not small. It's docked here in San Diego. I've been on it and while it can't hold a candle to the Star of India docked next door, it's still a large vessel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I remember about the Rose was something onlyslightly larger than the Mayflower in PLymouth Mssachusetts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that the Rose is a three quarter sized replica of the original HMS Rose....I'd still love to take a trip on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Blydes Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Resurrecting a thread after 4 years? That must have taken some searching. I was on the Rose years ago when she was still a training ship and making a stop over in Halifax. It appeared large in the respect of all the space it took... rigging and all. But it was small compared to the Naval vessels around it. Not the bigger distroyers, but the smaller minesweepers. William Blydes I don't get lost, I EXPLORE!

Capt Thighbiter Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Aye, it be in my top 5 movies also. "One must always choose the lesser of two weevils" vile clentch that it be, is my favorite quote, though quotable quotes abound throughout the movie and the books are just chock full of 'em, or blacks the white of me eye!
