Horatio Hornblower: The Duel (Pt. 1)

In 1793, as England prepares for war with France, young Horatio Hornblower reports for duty aboard the battleship Justinian. His welcome to the Kings Navy is harsh, however, as the sadistic midshipman Simpson takes an instant dislike to the young sailor.

Transferred to the Indefatigable when war erupts, Hornblower proves his mettle in combat and catches the eye of the captain. But his career is threatened when they come upon the flaming wreckage of the Justinian and Simpson is among the survivors. On a vital mission, Simpsons treachery nearly costs Hornblower his life, and a final showdown is inevitable.

Starring Ioan Gruffud as Hornblower. Based on the novels by C.S. Forester. All rights reserved to A&E--I own nothing.

(I will upload this in segments over the next few days--until then please bear with my slow loading. :) )

I didn't know that hornblower was posted on youtube, I just got the movies from the library. Great series, thanks for posting, and you guys should check ou the sharpe series.

[Bramblefox]

I saw the Sharpe series just a few months ago! I don't own it, unfortunately (had to borrow it) but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks for this. This was the one show all my family enjoyed. Bad news that A&E quit the series to make reality garbage like Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Hopefully, one day IG will reappear as Captain Hornblower

@DarthLegoMaster2011 Its similar to Hornblower, except instead of the navy during the Napoleonic Wars, its set in the Army.

@DarthLegoMaster2011: I thought he said vittles, which is a British English word for food provisions.

[riggerrogger101]

British Royal Navy was the best of the best back then :P

How in the heck does one get the name of "Hornblower"? Horatio sounds relatively normal but Hornblower?
