TCM ERRORS...
When shown on TCM Robert Osborne states that footage from this film was grafted on and used in both CAPTAIN BLOOD (1935) and THE SEA HAWK (1940). We have seen all three (3) films and cannot detect any footage from THE SEA HAWK (1924) in either of the sound films. The full scale mock-ups and models are of rather specious design and do not resemble 16th century naval design.
Now there was footage taken from some other film and used in the two (2) sound efforts. That is a real (not reel) ship of the line. What film did it come from? We believe it was from a British effort. They were still in existance in the 1920's, such ships in Royal Navy inventory.
