Duh, I meant to say Music Shake. I guess I was thinking of having one.

@Lnrewa49 Music Malt Shake sounds better

I've never seen this ship with royals out, was that a new addition?

[TallSky]

@Omega52 They've had them,... this was recorded on a day with very light winds, making it possible to deploy the royals.

@equinoxx48 This is HMS Surprise, originally launched from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia as Rose, a replica vessel of HMS Rose. She was sold for the production of Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, and was then given to the maritime museum in San Diego. In honour of her role in the film they registered her as HMS Surprise, however she is not officially entitled to the prefix HMS since she was not commissioned by the Royal Navy.

no royals, main (or course), topsail, topgallant. fore and aft sails are staysails. In the front of every Patrick O'brian novel is a diagram. Royal yards are not rigged,.

Would have loved to see royals and studdingsails set. (studding sails set at the ends of the yards. what ship is this? Did they build this for the movie or is it from Pirates of the carribean

There's something so incredibly inspiring and beautiful about sailing ships.

[SailorChick01]

lol, the depth markings. and the little sailboat passing :P feeling kinda sorry. St. Lawrence II wasn't a commercial vessel, so we don't have the markings that ruin a tall ship's appearence

A wonderful ship. I worked on her when she was the HMS Rose out of Newport RI, a long time ago.

@Shaysailor Thanks for answering that question. I meant to answer it myself awhile back, but got sidetracked. You answered it better anyway. I probably met you that day on the water - just don't quiz me on all the people I met that day for the first time! It was a lot of fun, but I wish I had owned a high quality cam back then, as the one I now own is. Maybe some day I will have a chance to film you guys again - I would really enjoy it.

Thanks

@MrGoldsable You're a jerk.

@MsAlexkey Since I happened by, I will answer for Tallsky. The royals are the smallest squaresails, the highest on the mast. If you look at footage beginning 0:33, you can see the royals are set on the foremast and mainmast. If you look again at 1:15, you'll see they have been doused (taken down). Forever grateful to Tallsky for all the footage of these sails, I was on the crew that day and these are priceless to me.
