Thanks for the link. I hadn't thought about the Rose for a long time but I regret that I passed up the opportunity to sail on her. I figured there would always be time.

If there's a sequel, they'll need extras, so pay attention.

When they made the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, they put out an open call to anyone in New Zealand who had a horse and wanted to be in the movie. They outfitted everyone who showed up with the necessary prosthetics, armor, uniforms, equipment.

All is not lost. There is a Swedish ship that sails out of Baltimore and I believe you can crew her sometimes. There is also a replica of Cook's vessel that comes to America sometimes and permits people to crew on her. There are a few other opportunities; google can help.

Now is your chance. Some of the interior scenes shot for the film were taken aboard HMS Surprise now berthed next to the Star of India in San Diego and is open to the public (for a small entrace fee). Both are going to sea on the 11-12Nov and accomodations may be scheduled now to go aboard. Check it out. Of course, the Star of India is reputed to be the oldest active seagoing ship in the US and haunted by ghosts....just in case you were worried about becoming seasick...
