Old Ironsides offers self guided tours ... with one sailor providing tutorials below deck.
This active duty sailor, in period costume, was very animated in sharing his knowledge of this historic ship.
He suggested MASTER AND COMMANDER as an authentic movie of the high seas ...
... rather than PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN.
I thought he would make the perfect cover model for a historical romance!
Do you have a favorite seafaring movie? My favorite is BATTLESHIP (link). Comments are open through Saturday, September 27, 10 pm in Baltimore. I'll post the winner on Sunday, September 28.

Aloha Spirit in Charm City
From my Hanscom Days, we invited the
USS Constitution's First Lieutenant to our Dining Out (left).
I served as his escort (second left).
I liked the first Pirates of the Caribbean
ReplyDeleteSo did I! It was charming. I did not care for the sequels, even though No. 4 was filmed in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteVERY Cool, Kim!!! Love the sailor in period costume (what GREAT DUTY) and the Hanscomb dining out is awesome!!!
ReplyDeletedon't have a fav
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the Horatio Hornblower TV movies.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that he would make a wonderful cover model. ;)
ReplyDeleteI loved Battleship also. One of my favorites, though it is sort of a sad movie, is White Squall.
Hi Kim! My favorite is The Sand Pebbles which released in 1966, the year I graduated form High School!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it was a lot of fun :) Even though it started out a bit cheesy, I do love Battleship. Once Taylor's character got his act together it was awesome! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics,
