Louie da fly Posted July 2 #1 Posted July 2 (edited) I have a few reservations about the configuration of the ship as reconstructed - a little too low for its length compared with the (often extremely well-observed) contemprary representations of ships of this period, but that aside, it's a very nice video. Enjoy. Steven PS: A couple of other (fairly minor) criticisms - if they stored the barrels that way without tying them down they'd roll her over in the first bit of bad weather. And the 'pilot boat' that met her at Bristol would have been square-rigged, not lateen. Told you I was picky.

druxey Posted July 2 #3 Posted July 2 I was amused by the sailor climbing by every other invisible ratline. That's picky, Steven! Nicely done, though. mtaylor 1 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
