ca.shipwright Posted December 31, 2016 #1 Posted December 31, 2016 I ran across a historical drama on Netflix entitled Admiral. This is about the Dutch in the 17th Century and theire battles with England and France with a mention of Spain. The sailing ships and battle scenes are superb. The movie is subtitled in English as most of the dialogue is in Dutch which was very easy to follow. Of course, the English speak English and the French speak French. Since Netflix has it, it must be several years old. But, I don't recall any mentions here in the US. IMHO well worth a viewing. mtaylor, donfarr, John Allen and 2 others 5 Quote ca.shipwright Michael Zemmel Midlothian.

mtaylor Posted December 31, 2016 #2 Posted December 31, 2016 We've had at least 4 topics on this.... Do a search from the main page using "Ruyter" (without quotes) as the keyword. It's true.. not much if any press in the US on it.

mtaylor Posted December 31, 2016 #4 Posted December 31, 2016 No problem... Here in the States, this is a hidden movie. I was looking for it and there really wasn't much out there. I don't do Netflix, so I'm even more in the dark.

John Allen Posted December 31, 2016 #5 Posted December 31, 2016 I watched a quasi documentary on my Kindle on Amazon Prime re: English and Dutch sea battles (Broadside:Emerging Empires Collide) U.K. Dramatic Production. If memory serves covers middle 1600's to the point where the Dutch ceded New York to the British 2hrs. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote John Allen Current builds HMS Victory-Mamoli On deck USS Tecumseh, CSS Hunley scratch build, Double hull Polynesian canoe (Holakea) scratch build Finished Waka Taua Maori War Canoe, Armed Launch-Panart, Diligence English Revenue Cutter-Marine Model Co.
