It's 50 years, this year, since we've had a film which depicts the Battle of Trafalgar. It's over a century since we've had a film that isn't based largely on Nelson's love life. With the 220th anniversary approaching it's time we had a true Trafalgar film.

in 1973, the BBC TV series WARSHIP premiered. Produced with the full cooperation of the Royal Navy, the drama depicted life on board the fictitious frigate HMS Hero. The show was shot primarily on HMS Phoebe and integrated actors with the actual ship's company.

Despite the annoying use of Lootenant (Lieutenant), this is an interesting listen. theguardian.com/news/audio/202โ€ฆ

1850 @royalnavy approved a contract for a new black cap for its sailors, this would be the first version to normally display the ship's name by way of a cap tally. The shape is the basis of todays version however it has been a white cap since the 1950's
