I just got it back and watched it with the Valencias as front speakers. The cannon fire was awesome This is the first movie I have seen that closely depicts the life of sailor in those times. They still left out the poor food and some of the less apppealing aspects of it. However for most of them it was a far better life than they faced on land. Now I'll have to check out some more of Patrick O'Brien's books.

I've read all the other authors I can find. Those being C. S. Forster, Dudley Pope and Alexander Kent and the gentleman whose name escapes me who wrote the historical fiction books about naval action during the Crimean War.
