Oooh they had one, I'm sure.. (a fiddler, that is)

What a fun flick!! I loved it muchly.

Got a giggle when the carpenter's mate kissed the figure head. Couldn't help thinking that the most common wound, battle or no must have been to the head. Bumping into all that huge oak beam stuff below decks.

Film made me wish I was back there then. Sailors in those days must have been either pressed or mad. I can't inmagine anyone of normal constitution WANTING to go to sea.

Yet, what an adventure it must have been for those who did love it, what a time.

I recommend the film. It is far too short.
