Tally Ho meets the HMS Surprise!

A fantastic story and a fantastic movie. What a lovely place to dock. :) I love the music in the ending scene between the doctor and Jack, a song* that breathes adventure, friendship and courage: https://open.spotify.com/track/1mEXZtRMEnjqdPTmZfNzU2?si=HzXsp7znTb2TXT83Dhg9Lg *By Luigi Boccherini

For some bizarre reason the US Coast Guard will not let crew sleep in hammocks-the Endeavour had to get a special dispensation when touring the US. Makes the Rose, now Surprise, not as authentic as she could be. AFAIK the crew sleep in the hold-not as much fun. The original Surprise is mentioned below, I have a book by John Nichol who was her carpenter at the time of the Piggot and Hermione mutiny.
