Default Roger Long - Titanic's Final Moments

For a live, up close and personal visit to a ship that was in more than one
movie ......... visit Boothbay Harbor.

The ship used in filming Pirates of the Caribbean is there. She is being
rebuilt, refitted. She was in some other movies as well.

Somewhat interesting................ the planks are big and thick.

Also, Carousel Marina in Boothbay Harbor .. it is where much of the filming
of the movie "Carousel" was filmed, on location.

==========

That's a take !!

"White Squall" if you can find it. Not a great movie but a true story
that I was closely involved with finding out the truth about. (Titanic
wasn't my first forensic endeavor. The truth is out there but you won't
find it in this movie.)

The old B&W "Captains Courageous" with Spencer Tracy (try you library) has
incredible real footage of large fishing schooners being sailed harder
than you can believe. One even was dismasted and the story re-written
around it.

Another even better show with more of the story coming up next April.



Thank you for the heads up.....

We'll be watching for it.



Sidebar question: Are there any movies that have a heavy sailing
element to them that anyone could recommend that a newbie to sailing
would find interesting? Or how about history channel documentaries on
sailing?

Thanks
