As always, I enjoy your art work!

It's been a while since I've seen the 1951 film, so I'm not visualizing the uniform Mr. Bush wears in the film. BTW this, and the lieutenants' uniforms in Mutiny and Retribution are the "undress" uniforms of the time. Dress uniforms were the ones with white lapels, such as Horatio wears in The Wrong War. (Frogs and Lobsters.) Lieutenants' uniforms basically remained unchanged from 1787 (pre Horatio midshipman days) through 1812, when these folks finally got to wear an epaulette. Cut, fit, and accessories (breeches, trousers, waistcoat, etc.) did vary with time.

And I think HH's lapels should have been blue, matching the rest of the uniform. They also missed on the number of buttons. I believe nine was the usual complement.

PS Thanks for the visual reminder

And one more photo, of their undress uniform. These are better than their dress uniform, but the number of buttons... :(

I agree, and of course the epaulette.
