Oops -- I guess I should have said that the Rose was the closest thing to a *fully operational* 18th century frigate in the world today. The USS Constitution ...
I have been all over and I cannot find the first good picture of the cute-even-though-hes-old Paul McGann as Lt. William Bush. No there are none at the Paul...
Well you could try some of the Yahoo Groups. There are some nice pics in some of the clubs I'm in. I tried to put them here but it doesn't seem to be ...
You could also try <a href=http://www.ely-sian-fields.com target=new>http://www.ely-sian-fields.com</a><br>It doesn't have a lot of pics because it's under...
The movie title is the same as the first of the Patrick O'Brian books, "Master and Commander". <br><br>There is also a POB club on Yahoo with some photos of ...
I am very happy that I found this club and people that want to know more about Wellard,he is my favourite person and I want to more about Terence. <br>I am ...
I just ran across a review of a new biography of Capt. Frederick Marryat: "Captain Marryat (Seaman, Writer and Adventurer)" by Tom Pocock. The review is in the...
>>>a complete set of MM (since 1911) on CD.<br><br>That would be an awesome reference resource. Kind of like the National Geographic CD's. Any idea...
Hello, everyone! I am a new member of this club. I look forward to getting to know everyone, and to discussing Horatio Hornblower in all the mediums he...
I know in the Gruffudd, miniseries we're lead to believe that Horry didn't push the captain down the stairs/hole... but the books aren't that clear... He was...
It's hard to tell -- I think that Forester was careful to keep the question mysterious. However, C. Northcote Parkinson's book "The Life and Times of Horatio ...
I think I read somewhere that the CD will sell for around $100 US. It supposedly will be available within the next few months -- I'll keep the list ...
Personaly I'm hesitant to believe anything someone else wrote about Horry. I mean he's Forester's creation there for only he can decide what he did and didn't...
Maybe yes, maybe no. Parkinson's comment (in a "note by author" after the letter) was:<br><br>"He [HH] was normally a stern critic of his own conduct and ...
I've always thought that Hornblower did push Captain Sawyer and that his motivation was the good of the service. 'Lieutenant Hornblower' was always one of my...

Isn't it sad how a very talented officer sometimes winds up serving under an idiot? Many good men have died because of that. Sometimes, for the good of the...
>he is far too good a man and an officer to do >things like that without feeling anything. <br><br>Quite true -- remember how he agonized about lying to ...
"those incidents only make the Sawyer question more mysterious. If HH was so concerned about these relatively minor infractions, it's hard to imagine him ...
I would like to hear more 'good jobs' for whoever pushed Sawyer. He deserved it. But hey maybe he had alzheimer's or somethin and it wasnt his fault. We was...
The situation that HH faced with Captain Sawyer -- a captain who is behaving irrationally -- is a real-life dilemma at sea. A captain necessarily has very ...
So, where exactly is everybody around here? Nobody has posted since forever ago. Where ya'll at? The "Mr. Wellard" club is going strong on if hes a wimp or ...
I think Wellard was a cutie-patootie and probably could have been somebody. By the way, I'm from the hot, or rainy, or hot when its raining, or freezing cold, ...
As far as Horatio Hornblower goes, my favorite supporting character remains Sir Edward Pellew. Mr. Hornblower owes much of his later success to the lessons he...
Unlike the others, of course, Edward Pellew was an actual historical personage (1757-1833). He really was the Captain of HMS Indefatigable, and won several...
