      yes thats true the real reason that Hay wanted to break away from Moffatt and Marriott was that he feared audiences were growing to love them more.👍

    Lots of fun. By the way, that sextant the good captain is holding at 6:50 is a very rare double frame sextant made in the UK between 1870/1880 and worth a pretty penny today. They were the most expensive sextants of the period.

    For any one interested the opening sequences of the Square Rigger i think are from Capt John Irving's film of the 4 masted barque 'Peking' rounding Cape Horn the 'wrong way' - East to West in truly terrible weather. This film of the Peking is truly amazing, its a miracle that any one on deck survived at all, this film which is only about 20 mins long is a real slice of history and is well worth a look.
    The sailing ship Pekin was originally built for the famous 'Flying P Line' of Hamburg, and was until a few years ago in the South Street Seaport Museum in New York which is where I visited her, she was sold to the Hamburg Port Museum, where she is being completely refitted.
    If you ever have the oportunity to visit her do not miss out.
