Angus McGregor Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Lots of interesting info on the ships and captains Master & Commander was based on, the importance of live oak in ship building, ruses and tricks to evade enemies, and a bit about what shipboard surgery looked like. Low budget production but fairly well done. Can't vouch for the accuracy but they seem to know what they're talking about. See it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Dog. Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 definitely supports some ships being able to shoot faster by having a more experienced crew and have better armor depending on where it was build and what wood.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus McGregor Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 I liked the re-enactors being told that their cannon reload cycle of 4 minutes was "good" and how pleased they looked. And then the advisor told them that gun crews of that time period were expected to fire every 60 seconds. LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
