Except the French crew in Master and Commander had clothes from almost a century before the events in the movie. This was done to denote their "foreignness".

- sillyquiet 6y agoYeah, this is a good point (more like half a century really). I always sort of rationalized in my head because of O'Brians emphasis in the books of sailors' innate conservatism but you are correct. Not to mention there's no way a French crew would be in an American heavy frigate in 1805.
- gerikson 6y agoI'm a huge POB fan but I felt I could overlook a lot of the liberties taken with the movie. At least it got made! And I think the shipboard scenes on the Surprise were really well done.
