    Default Amsterdam.

    A bit of video of the Dutch East Indiaman built in 1748.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    How I wish I was a billionaire. I'd hire Amsterdam, Götheborg, Surprise (Rose) and Hermione and make the best movie ever. I wonder if there'd be any chance of getting Constitution into a movie at all.

    Yes. Saw it...

    Does HMS Trincomalee sail? Her and HMS Unicorn if either of them could sail would be welcome in my movie too.

    As far as I know Trinco does not sail anymore, but Neil could probably tell you more about that Jonas.
    This explains why Unicorn does not sail anymore.
