@penwielder Exactly!

I'm guessing this is around 1796 or so.

Not to be hugely annoyingly pedantic or anything, but I'm pretty sure that this episode is set when George III was still on the throne. It must be set before 1808 as that was the year that the French invaded Spain and threw the spanish into an alliance with Britain, and the Spanish are Britian's enemies in this episode. George III (as you say, the mad king) reigned until 1811 when his son took over as Regent, although he continued to be king in name until his death in 1820.

I've been studying some of this history and didn't know how the quarter deck was treated. It was for officers only unless someone had to pass through and had permission so it was out of respect that he lets the french captain to stand there while coming along side of the Indy. In Roman times the one who'd captured the head of the other army would have them tied to the back of their chariott to show them off. It wasn't the case here and Horatio is embarassed because of it. My VAST opinion. :)

@IlluminatiOvIndiana Hey Illuminatjion. What was the white band on their sleves for? I noticed that they didn't have them before they declared war on the French but after that, they did. Has that got anything to do with it? Also, when Horatio gave Matthews the promotion of petty officer, was it something he got to keep and be paid more $ for? If you have any sites you like that would tell of the history of these navel times, I'd appreciate you giving them to me. Especially the slang. :)

@tyrannusBE Good point. How can you tell it's a schooner please? It's beautiful. How many men to a crew for one? :) Songs

Does anybody know if there's some kind of documentary on the kinds of ships used in this series? I've never counted them but there seems to be a lot or are they CGI? Like the ones in the Spanish "fleet?" What is this smaller ship called and was it used often? Who ownes them and are they replicas? I'd very much enjoy going on one for a week or so. Being part of the crew. That kind of thing. Not realistic but a good dream! I'll cook! lol Whose with me? Songs
