CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Captain Aubrey (Russell Crowe) gives the order and his ship fires on the Acheron, destroying it's mast.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director Peter Weir's first turn behind the camera since 1998's critically acclaimed The Truman Show, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is based on two Napoleonic War-era adventure novels in author Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series, Master and Commander and The Far Side of the World. Russell Crowe stars as Captain Jack Aubrey, a high-seas adventurer who maintains a strong bond with ship-surgeon Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany). After conquering much of Europe already, Napoleon's forces have set their sights on taking Britain, so Aubrey and the crew of his ship, the HMS Surprise, take to the Pacific to intercept any attacking ships from the French fleet. When Aubrey eyes a renegade French super-frigate, the Surprise pursues, leading to an adrenaline-charged chase through the distant reaches of the sea. Edward Woodall, James D'Arcy, and Lee Ingleby also star as members of the Surprise's crew.

@@purplefood1 I meant that, as a Privateer, she was essentially just a legal pirate ship and thus, not up to military standards on things like gunnery, sailing or discipline. A chunk of that crew was probably drunk. Had that ship been actual French Navy, the situation would be a lot grimmer.

[@sailingspark9748]

@@thebighurt2495 what is interesting is how the English and the French actually fought. The English usually aimed to sink their opponent, aiming on the downroll to put as many cannonballs into the lower hull as possible. The French mostly went for the rigging to demast. The exact opposite of what we saw in this battle. If I really wanted a tall ship movie, I would love something based on some of Robert Surcouf's excursions as a Privateer. There is a reason the English feared him.

Not only was it a brilliant scene, but Jack did disguise the HMS Surprise to be a whaling vessel so as the Acheron approached most of men manning the guns where off duty so to speak because they sensed no threat to be prepared given by the French captains orders and this brilliant scene captured that counter attack so well.

[@newjeffersonian6456]

I don't know of any other film that so graphically displays the lethal brutality of naval warfare as it was in the age of wooden hull sailing ships. The limited range and impact of cannon at that time made it crucial to attack at very close quarters to inflict decisive damage and it was sometimes necessary to board an enemy ship to finish the job in hand-to-hand combat. When the mainmast of the Acheron collapsed Captain Aubrey and the men of the HMS Surprise knew the enemy ship was now dead in the water and was theirs for the taking.

[@elmocotton3078]

Fun Fact: English fired broadsides on the down roll and French fired on the up roll . A down roll shot would pierce the hull sinking the ship, while an uproll shot would destroy the rigging, which the French would repair and sail the ship to port where it would be sold and the proceeds divided amongst the crew. The English just wanted to destroy the ship so they would get promoted and get commander cred..

At 1:15, Aubrey calls out "hard a larboard" and himself turns the wheel anti-clockwise. The ship is soon seen to be turning left (to port aka larboard). But in those days, steering commands were given as "tiller commands", so "hard a larboard" should have resulted in the ship turning right/starboard. Do I have this right (correct :-)?
