    Thanks for posting this picture Jonas. You are right it does seem odd. Standing on Victory's poop deck it does not feel all that high either. Your comment really brings home the difference.

    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.

    Could the different "feel" be the amount of structure around or underneath you? It's sorta like being on the roof of a 3-story building vs. being about 25' up a tree...
