Taking the history of Royal Navy breeches into account, I've done a recalculation for the

HISTORICAL TIMEFRAME OF POTCand so the movie takes now place in April 1745. I have reached a new level of geekdom ( Read more... )

A lot of wonderful things to squee at ! :)

1776 for the blue to white change for the naval breeches's colour ? Oh, that's absolutely wonderful
Just yesterday I was wondering whether 1780 was a bit too late for setting my new fic and now I've additional support. :)

BTW, may I ask where you found the info ?

I found the information on the website of the National Maritime Museum. There's also a wonderful picture of original breeches. :) Lots of buttons, my, my, my...

"(...) In 1774 the uniform regulations were changed and blue breeches that were stipulated in the 1748 regulations were replaced with white breeches. (...)

They have some pictures of uniforms online which I often use for reference. Very helpful!

Thank you ! (and apologies for being so late at answering. RL was heavy and nasty these last days...)

No problems at all! I don't expect people to run to the PC every five minutes. :D

Looks like life is difficult for many people at the moment. I hope things will look better for your soon. Take good care of you. :)

The first card reminds me of what Nelson said about his arm being amputated; he stated that the worst thing for him about having his arm cut off was not the pain, but that the sword they used for the operation was so bloody cold.

I think he was just showing off when he said that. Men.

Heh! Maybe he just didn't want to upset poor Emma. Or he was already working on immortality. I wish there was a thing like time-travel; there's a guy I'd loved to interview!

Just wanted to add that I can't stop looking at your Cutler gallery. He's flirty even in stills!

He's currently pestering me to write Beckett/Gillette. Mr. Gillette would pack his sea chest and leave if I should do it, so please don't encourage him! :)

I love your Cutler Beckett. I just wanted you to know that.

Thank you! More George to come very soon. :)
