Re: Master and Commander Film

[Hal Mueller <hal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually the film used the old "HMS Rose", but she was extensively 
rerigged/rebuilt.  Two of the riggers from the film sailed with me on 
Europa last year--that was the film/Europa connection.

The underway long shots were all of the Rose replica (now renamed HMS 
Surprise, of course).  But there were also two sets built on moving 
platforms.  According to Paul and Josh, all 3 were very meticulously 
period (e.g. not a shackle to be found!).  They were most enthusiastic 
about the film.  This might be one that I go stand in line for the 
12:01 am Thursday night early show!
