Blackbeard-The Mini series

[cs]

Rented that this weekend and I have to say it was pretty decent. Noticted a few discrepncies, but nothing to outstanding. I wonder how long it takes to get from New Providance to Gardner's Island? In the movie this was about 2 days.

Also does anyone know what the Queen Anne's Revenge was? In the movie she was a brig. They did appear to have Manyard's ship right as a sloop.

CS, It's thought that the Queen Anne's Revenge was a ship not a brig.
You can find out more about her an the NC Maritime Museum (Beaufort) at:

The museum has some of the artifacts recovered from the ship and they do a good job with the display too. If you ever get the chance, stop by there... It's a nice place and as boaty as you can get.

I wasn't sure, in the movie it was a brig with a state room that would have fit better on a 74 gun ship.

We saw it a couple of weeks ago. liked it except much of the first part was soooo dark you couldn't really tell what was going on.
