I hope you all had a nice day
:salute:
It's great they have a historical uniform and all, but that's the 1812 model. I would have preferred them using the 1795 model that was used at the Battle of Trafalgar.
I agree Jonas.
I'm sure that they must have some re-enactor they could have called upon to do the correct thing.
Rob.
If they had asked me I'd been there definitely! :happy:
If they had asked you Jonas, I would have been there with you too my boy, and I dare say a goodly number of other British shipmates too.
Rob.

A belated Happy Trafalgar Day to you all.:salute:
(The picture of the postage stamp I am currently using as my avatar shows the 1795 Admiral's uniform.)
Indeed it does. It's a captain's uniform in the picture at the top though.
My avatar shows a bastardisation of my 1795 captains uniform to emulate admiral for a LARP. You can see that on the mariners cuff on the sleeves. I do also have the coat and hat of a rear admiral's undress uniform, though.
The biggest differens between the two avatars beeing that I've outgrown my uniform...
