For a live, up close and personal visit to a ship that was in more than one
movie ......... visit Boothbay Harbor.

The ship used in filming Pirates of the Caribbean is there. She is being
rebuilt, refitted. She was in some other movies as well.

Somewhat interesting................ the planks are big and thick.

Also, Carousel Marina in Boothbay Harbor .. it is where much of the filming
of the movie "Carousel" was filmed, on location.

==========

That's a take !!

"White Squall" if you can find it. Not a great movie but a true story
that I was closely involved with finding out the truth about. (Titanic
wasn't my first forensic endeavor. The truth is out there but you won't
find it in this movie.)

The old B&W "Captains Courageous" with Spencer Tracy (try you library) has
incredible real footage of large fishing schooners being sailed harder
than you can believe. One even was dismasted and the story re-written
around it.

Another even better show with more of the story coming up next April.



Thank you for the heads up.....

We'll be watching for it.


Sidebar question: Are there any movies that have a heavy sailing
element to them that anyone could recommend that a newbie to sailing
would find interesting? Or how about history channel documentaries on
sailing?

Thanks

Portuguese. And yes, they pull a rich boy out of the drink. He'd fallen
off daddy's yacht. Excellent footage of real fishing schooners.

Tracy did not like his performance, but I think it is fine.

You know what, I think I saw that one. Was he an older spanish speaker
sailor - he was looking after a young kid who was aboard and there was
an accident at the end? And he always had something -like a razor or a
pen knife or something - or he played an instrument - can't quite
remember. Is that the movie?

and both versions of Mutiny on the
Bounty.

All three?

I like #'s 2 & 3. (ie Brando & Gibson)

Oh look. He's changed his name again.

Any offers on that Alberg 32, Tom? I hope the problem with the
transom lettering isn't scaring off buyers.

Did anyone ever see the movie "The Buccaneer" about a pirate named Jean
Lifite who helped Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812? There was the 1938
version and a remake in 1958 with Yul Brenner - I don't like the
remake. The 1st one was directed by Cecil B Demille - it's excellent!

Why are you changing your name again Tom Tom? Kind of childish don't
you think, especially for one requesting so much free advice here.
