Very apt. With the new film coming out this year. I've read a fair bit on the whalers they were the only people to travel at those speeds on the planet.

ta Dave so glad that you like it,


the film is a new take on the old,as being what is meant to be the story its all based on.

Nice to see your model again Monica - It's a little cracker.


Like Dave. I did a bit of reading on whalers when I did my whaler dio. on here recently. They were a tough bunch, often sailing away from New Bedford for 2/3 years at a time, even going to the Arctic.


I have no idea there was a new film about to be released. That should be a cracker.

so nice to have you drop back in Ron.


It should be a good film,maybe worth a watch,


a chap showed me a book on whaling from the UK,and it was very


interesting as well,they were so mean ports ,that housed the whaling ships,

From what I've seen of the film it's not true to the real story but yes it was the inspiration to Moby dick it is a gruesome story though and more so being true.

ta Dave,I think most things do get a little bent out of shape at times,and they


need to keep things interesting so they mess with the story line a bit,


and add in more action than there was,lol,
