Be upstanding.

Captain Baines, this board of nautical
assessors has made a decision in your

case.

But before I say what it is, there are
one or two things I have to say myself.

The behaviour of a master mariner who
not only fails to inspect his cargo

sailing, but when warned that it may not
be what is shown on the manifest,

ignores that warning and proceeds to run
a vessel as unseaworthy as the

Peabrock into high seas and dangerous
waters, that man has no right... to be

command with the fate of ship and crew
in his hands.

We are indebted to the forthright
testimony of Captain James O 'Neill in

matter, for had he not spoken so
truthfully, we would not have had a full

account of the last voyage of the
sailing vessel Peebrock.

Now, Captain Baines, Captain O 'Neill
has pleaded, quite rightly, that you

under... from some personal family
problem at this time and only accepted

command of this ship in haste and with
little thought to the consequences.

However, that can act as no excuse.

If this board of assessors felt that you
had been a party to some predetermined

plan to sink the Peabrock with possible
loss of life and limb, then we would

indeed deal with you harshly, sir, but
this board does not regard you as a

clever rogue which to do such a thing
you would have needed to be.

You're a man who came to this position
from a lowly station.

Well, it may be that such promotion is
not a profit to all concerned. I cannot

say anything about that.

All I know is that you behaved in the
most unseemly manner, verging on the

criminal, and that this court has, in my
view, dealt with you very leniently.

Captain William Baines, you will not
sail as master on any British ship

for a period of six calendar months.

And it may be that owners may think
twice of using your services after that.

Sir, I must protest. Is it proper of you
to say that, to warn owners against me?

I think the assessor's decision is hard.
Do you?

Yes, I do, sir.

But I have to abide by that. But I can't
stand idle while you tell owners not to

employ me when my period of six months
is done. Captain Baines, you presume to

instruct me in my duty as chief assessor
in this case?

Well, mister, do you?

I apologize.

What, ma 'am? I said I apologize.

Really, the manners of some people.

You will not sail as master for six
months, sir.

You may, of course, obtain workerships,
mate. The post, I understand, you know

full well.

The findings of this court will be made
known.

The proceedings are at an end.

Mr. Baines, you may step down.

But I... But he said... Do not barf, you
man. It is over.

Come on, have a noggin. I'll warrant you
need it. Aye.

And some work.

Captain O 'Neill, then.

I'll see you in the tavern, eh?

Well, Captain O 'Neden, a satisfactory
verdict.

Well, as I've already said, Sir Walter,
Mr. Baines is a good and steady female.

A good and steady mate, perhaps.

You know, some men are born to command,
others to obey.

It's all a question of birth and family,
sir.

Oh, I've no doubt that you are right,
Sir Walter.

You know, O 'Neden, I was very impressed
by the way you gave your evidence.

And I must say, I've been very impressed
by the way you're talked about in this

port. Thank you very much, sir.

Why should you make inquiries about me?
Because I like to know the caliber of

the man to whom I entrust my son.

Your son? Yes, the lad is set on a
career at sea.

Ah. And I want him apprenticed to you.

You have every merchant master in these
islands to choose from. Yes, and I

choose you.

Well, I'm not one of your fancy
captains, you know, with every

board. I can't but think that you'd do
better to go with a larger company. No,

the lad wants the sea for himself. I do
not want it for him.

I'd rather see him in the Navy office or
some shore establishment. That is the

family tradition.

But, well, I would have seen myself as a
lad.

George, do you think that this one
voyage might knock the idea out of his

eh? Well, let us say it'll be a valuable
experience and might make a man of him.

He's done very well at his school.

Ah. Yes, rugby, yes.

Oh, yes, captain of fives, poetry prize.

Poetry prize, eh? The all -round man,
you know.

Well, I must warn you, sir, that I carry
no passengers.

If your lad comes sailing with me as an
apprentice, my fee'll be 50 guineas. I

shall consider it well spent. When do
you sail?

Monday week, noontide. Ah, for Frisco.

Frisco, eh?

Of course, if you'd like to cancel our
arrangement... No, no, no, not at all,

not at all. My son David shall sail with
you.

Right, then.

Frisco, eh?

Oh,

yeah, Baines.

I sailed with him once. He's a proper
git. Take me out of a trip he did.

Yeah. I wonder if he got off.

Noggin of rum.

Captain Baines.

Or is it mister?

It is Mr. Bynes, then.

Mr.

Bynes!

That is one of my crew.

Anybody who arms him robs me of second
mate.

Tell me when that's done.

Captain.

Thank you, Banks.

Will you come out smelling the roses? I
come out smelling the manure. Sailors,

look. Did you hear what the commissioner
called me?

Signifies nothing.

Well, he as good as said because I was
lowborn, I wasn't fit to command.

Look, let him have his prejudices. They
don't harm anybody.

They harm me. No.

You harmed yourself when you took on
that voyage.

You've nobody to blame but yourself, you
know me.

Well, you're a Job's comforter, aren't
you?

Well, what are you to do now, eh?

Get drunk.

After that?

I don't know, and that's the God's
truth. I've got a ship aboard as a mate.

the only course open to me.

But I must maintain my sister and her
two children. I'm down to my last

shillings after this delay.

Here, put that in your pocket.

Oh, no, no.

Here, man.

Don't want my first mate, Fuddle
-headed, loading my cargo to go around

horn.

The horn?

Well, you want the jobber, don't you?

Aye. I do that.

Captain.

Frisco and begone.

I beg your pardon?

James is taking the Charlotte Roads
round Cape Horn to San Francisco.

Says on the noontide of Monday.

It's in the list.

How very exciting.

No, it's more than exciting, my love.

The last testing journey left to a
sailor. Then I have no doubt that James

enjoy it.

Sloane is not there to be enjoyed.

There to be conquered.

I'm sure it's nearly as dangerous as
some quarters of Liverpool after dark.

No, it's not just a particularly
dangerous stretch of water, my dear.

It's symbolic.

It represents nature at her most
violent.

Charlotte Rhodes is a small ship to make
such a voyage.

to round the horn in a 150 -tonner.

What a proud boast that would be.

A coarse boast.

Not that of a gentleman, which, of
course, we all know you are.

How did you find out?

What? I presume you're referring to
Carrie Harris.

You dare mention that woman's name in my
house?

You've been dropping hints for days.
Have you no shame?

What's the point of shame?

A low woman in a music hall.

You leave her and you come home to me.

No, madam, I do not come home to you, at
least not very often, as well you know.

Your defeat of yourself astounds me,
sir. I'm glad of it.

Perhaps you'll keep your nose out of my
business.

Your business? Yes.

You wish me to ignore it?

Wise women do.

Terrified women do.

Afraid of losing their homes and being
thrown into the street.

I said nothing of that.

Money is short, you forever tell me, yet
you pay this woman enough.

How do you know?

She told me.

You've been to see her?

You've been in her company? You, in that
place? Yes.

Haven't you?

That was another matter. I think not.

I repeat, you say money is short. I gave
Carrie Harris ten pounds because she

said... Yes?

She insisted she was with child by me.

Lies, of course.

If there was a child, it could be
anybody.

Probably there isn't one at all.

But one goes through the prescribed form
in these matters.

Prescribed form?

Is that what you call it?

I call it something else. I call it lust
and licentiousness, sir.

Those are my words for it.

Then you would do well to watch your
words, Elizabeth.

You're in no position to throw stones at
anyone, least of all me.

Without me, you wouldn't have a home.

No doubt any man would do more for you
and your child than I did.

Oh, it was very noble of you.

And, of course, you had no thought for
your own vanity.

Or what people would have thought had
the truth become known.

The matter is closed.

A husband can open a conversation and
close it as he chooses.

And a wife must comply.

It is not closed.

Albert, I'm thinking of leaving you.

Leaving me?

That's right.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have things
to do.

All right, you lovers. Keep everything
well lashed down.

We're only carrying coat and stuff, so
we need some light cargo for the arm.

We'd like a cork and a bathtub if it
ain't less tight.

Oh, Mr. Curry.

Yes, sir.

You been round the arm before, mister?

Oh, yes, sir.

Oh, no, you haven't. You haven't been
round it at all till you've been round

underneath.

I think that you'd rather I not come
down to see you, sale.

Well, I doubt you bid me goodbye with a
smile, that's all.

It's not every day you go round Cape
Horn.

Well, I've been around it before.

Not as captain.

Almost good as most.

Oh, better I'll allow that.

But why go round her east to west the
hard way?

You might go round the Cape of Good Hope
across the Pacific and back round the

Horn like most do.

Because it takes too much time.

Time is money.

Look, the cargo of Silverall and Frisco.

It'll help buy more shares in the
steamship company.

And for that, you go round the horn.

Fog, snow, terrible winds.

James, have you any notion of the fears
I bear when you're away from me?

After that last voyage on the P Block.

Look, now's not the time, eh?

Time?

You've no time for anything but your
profit games, and that's the truth of

It's not just the profits that matter.

It's what I can buy.

That wretched steamship.

You risked body and soul to build an
iron monster that no one but Albert

believes will ever sail.

She'll sail if she's ever built.

And she won't be built unless I find the
money.

Oh, forgive me, James.

Oh, look, Anne, I wish you'd go up on
deck.

But if you're going to stay... I'll stay
and smile.

All those barrels in the borrowed hat.

Morning, Mr. Fraser.

Mr. Baines.

Catching the need in below?

Yes, sir. But we're off at high water.

So I understand.

I have a bag in me carriage. Have it
taken aboard, will you?

There's the good fella.

Hey, you.

Come on, I've got a job for you.

Do I have a cabin?

I'll ask Baines if he'll take the second
mate, sir.

You said nothing of Albert sailing with
you, James. Oh, did I not?

Well, Albert has a fancy to take a trip
around the Horn, so I understand.

What is Elizabeth for?

She knows nothing about it yet.

Oh, how melancholy. James' taste in wine
has not improved. At least what it

gives away has not improved.

Surely there must be something better
than this.

I left a note for her to be delivered at
12 noon, which is, I think, in five

minutes' time.

Ah, Spanish.

Still.

What about your steamship?

I thought the trip would be useful.

Find to build an iron ship to make the
voyage. I must know the conditions.

And what is the real reason?

Well, there comes a time when a man
feels, if you'll pardon the

Corseted by women.

He longs to free his muscles for a month
or two.

All aboard!

All aboard!

Everybody aboard, Mr. Baines.

Everybody except the new apprentice,
Captain. David Teel.

Good voyage, James.

You want?

Take care. I will.

Quickly. Oh, I'm so sorry, ma 'am.
That's all right.

Ah,

thank you, sir.

Who are you?

Teal. Teal?

Yes, indeed. David Teal, the new
apprentice.

The story I made, Coach Horse went lame.

Teal. You any relation to Sir Walter
Teal?

His son.

Is there someone to take my trunk below?

Aye, lad, there is.

You!

Now pick it up and move.

So, they're gone.

He's on board.

I've just got his message.

Well, that's what he wants. Let him go.

Fancy passenger gets the first mate's
cabin, so I get this.

A proper pigsty, isn't it?

Well, put it down, son. That's your bunk
there.

Thank you.

Your first voice, lad?

Yes. You've got some surprises coming
in.

Indeed. Call me sir.

Or mister.

I'm second mate on this ship.

Yes, sir.

You know the mate, do you?

We've just met.

You had a taste of him already, eh?

Well, you'll see a lot of Mr. Baines
before this voyage is over.

What are you doing stoking down here,
Mr. Gordy? Just getting my gear stowed

away, sir.

And I think I'm hardly done by you. I
really do, sir. I mean, this is no place

for a second mate.

You sleep where you're put, mister.

And you.

I beg your pardon? I'm your taskmaster.

Yes, I gathered that.

Sir, to me, it does everything I tell
you at the double. Everything

Yes, sir.

This is a long voyage, Mr. Teal, and I'm
going to teach you to be a sailor, lad.

By the end of it, you'll be able to hold
up your head in the port of Liverpool

or be a disgrace to your family.

They're on the fort watch with me, four
hours on, four hours off, unless you

hear all hands on deck, and that means
you at any time, understand?

Yes, sir. What's the matter?

Nothing, sir. Then on your feet, lad.
Well, he ain't got his sea legs yet,

I said on your feet.

Now go on, smarten yourself up. Present
yourself in the captain's cabin in ten

minutes. He wants to talk to you.

And make sure you're seaman -like.

Yes, sir.

Wow.

That's a poor face of you, isn't he?

You sure you've never seen him before?

No.

Oh.

Hey, here.

Bit of a swell, eh?

You all right?

Yes, thank you.

Come in.

Your apprentice, sir, Mr. Teal.

Ah.

Ah. Yes.

Mr. Teal.

Yes, um... Go to bunk, lad.

Yes, sir.

Captain to the captain.

Yes, Captain.

You says aye -aye when at sea land?

Aye -aye, Captain.

Well, now, we all start off as
apprentices.

Mr. Teal seems hard school at the time,
but never did any of us any harm, eh,

Mr. Bings?

No, Captain.

You wanted the life, your father tells
me.

Aye -aye, Captain. Are you feeling ill
or something?

I'm told it will pass. Right, right,
right.

Now, then, um...

Well, just listen to Mr. Baines and obey
him.

Mr. Baines will teach you how to lay
down a course, use of the sextant. I

the theory of that, sir. You do, do you?

Well, you'll find a bit more practice
than theory on this trip, lad.

Right. Well,

just listen to Mr. Baines, obey him in
all things, and that's all, lad.

Aye, aye, Captain.

When you're quite ready, lad.

Those gloves, better put them in your
pockets. You won't be needing them this

voyage.

No, sir.

A list of duties of a seaman apart from
what the captain told you. Now, are you

listening?

Right. There's tying, greasing, oiling,
vanishing, and painting.

Watching them steering, reefing,
furling, and bracing.

There's making and setting sail. There's
pulling along.

And then there's climbing.

And you climb.

Of course I can climb.

Right, let's see it.

Right, let go of the topsoil!

A lot quicker than that, lad.

A lot quicker.

Gloves.

Curry, take young man's idol. I want him
chained.

You heard. I want to make a semen of
him, and you're going to help me.

I'm not such a fool as to think this
Carrie Harris is the only one.

She's the one I found out about, that's
all.

Did you tell Albert you were considering
leaving him? Yes, and that's why he's

gone on this voyage.

He's giving me a taste of life without
him in the hope that I'll reconsider.

He's so conceited, that man.

Well, he's wrong.

I'll not be there waiting for him when
he returns, the chastened wife, anxious

to make amends.

Are you well?

Well? Of course I'm well.

There's no possibility that you might...
A child?

Not if I can help it.

You so easily reject what some of us
pray for, Elizabeth.

If you leave Albert, you lose house,
home, everything.

What am I to do, then? Keep silent in
this Carrie Harris affair? Pretend I

nothing? Let him go on seeing the woman?

Well, Albert's gone on this voyage
hoping that you'll learn to accept the

situation. It's easy for you to speak,
Anne.

James never looks at other women.

Before he sailed, I reproved him for
thinking of nothing but his profits.

It has its advantages, I suppose.

Oh, take him, lad.

Mr. Corey?

Come on, Mr. Teal.

You young gentlemen, say this when it
comes to seeing your glove.

Splendid weather.

Get rougher before we're through.

Jane. Mm -hmm? The new apprentice, Teal.

He's been having an unnecessarily bad
time, hasn't he?

That's an apprentice's lot.

Yes, he's a dog's body to the officers
and a little snot nose to the crew.

We've all gone through it. It's no
different for Teal. Is it not?

Drink, eh?

Oh, uh... I'll break a lifelong habit
and choose rum.

Not a cellar of you yet, eh?

I think Baines has been too hard on the
lad.

You do, do you?

Yes, I do.

I know it's none of my business. No,
it's not.

But it is your business. You should stop
it.

You think so, do you? Yes, I do.

Baines is only doing his duty.

Our lives could depend on that lad, as
on any man in the crew.

He's got to learn that the three's our
taskmaster.

You've got to learn?

No better than to tell a captain how to
run a ship.

No, don't be so tough, dear man.

I'll tell you something for your own
good. I'll tell you something for yours.

You'd do better to show your wife some
sympathy, not members of my crew.

I've never known you show such concern
for your sister before.

Whatever Elizabeth has done, she
deserves better than the treatment that

offer her by ruining her way.

Baines is riding you hard, matey, real
hard.

Yeah.

No spiritless lickers allowed aboard.

Yeah, that's precious, that is.

Best Jamaican.

I wish I was dead. No such luck, old
mate.

Is that all you've had to eat since
you've come on board? That and the grub

brought with you?

Maybe I'm going to do something about
you.

Just let me be.

Now, you listen to me, lad.

I've seen young fellas in your place
before. Just give up.

With Kate Warren coming up, you won't
live round it.

Perhaps that would be the best solution.

You haven't had your full four hours
sleep any once.

It's what happens to any apprentice.

Oh, no, it ain't. Not what you're
getting.

You're a speckle.

Oh, look, please, it'll be all right.
Don't bother.

Be back in a minute.

It's a deal.

You were sloppy on that rigging, mister.

I'm sorry, sir.

Look at this place.

Untidy quarters mean untidy works like a
pigsty in here. Now clean it up.

Aye, sir.

What's this?

My father.

We've met.

This your mother?

Aye, sir.

Well, maybe you shouldn't have left her,
boy.

Because I don't think you'll ever make a
sailor.

But it won't be for the want of me
trying.

Now, clean this mess up in here.

Oh, I beg your pardon, Mr. Baines.

Left -bound guest.

Here, leave that. He won't be back for a
bit.

He wants his own grub.

You have mine. I don't want it.

You still want to die, do you?

Of course you will if you don't eat.

You'll get weak and you'll get swept
overboard.

I will live.

Now, look, lad.

You've got nothing in your stomach,
nothing at all.

Now, there's a plate of salt beef and
sea bread.

You eat that every scrap.

It'll put a lining on your gut.

I'd never keep it down.

Of course you would.

That's the best cure for the vomit.

Is it?

Force it.

No, I couldn't. Get it down, you.

Come this time tomorrow, you'll laugh in
his face.

Whose? My Bane's, of course.

Hold your nose.

You're coming in for it, sir. All right,
Mr. Banks.

All hands on deck.

Short and sail.

Aye, sir.

All hands on deck.

Take it, sir.

Please remain.

You too, lad.

Mr. Baines, I don't want to lose my new
apprentice on the first voyage out.

No, sir.

Oh, don't want him up a lot in this
weather.

It's all training, sir. We may come to
rely on him.

Just the same, Mr. Baines.

Aye, sir.

Been on that wheel too long, Mr. Baines.

I'm all right.

Mr. Teal, come and take over.

Aye, sir.

Go on, get some rest, man.

Aye, aye.

One thing to remember at the horn.

Take your arms.

Aye, sir.

What, sir?

Never look behind you.

Never!

Why is that, sir?

There's no way, sir.

Charles is the master.

All you see is a wall of green water and
then the sky.

If you was a poor sailor, lad, you'd go
to the side with Bright.

He's an officer.

Don't smile, lad. I've seen it happen.

Aye. Here it comes.

Hold it steady.

Aye, sir.

Oh, God.

I'm all right, yeah.

I've got tooth.

Cold already.

No, not now, lad.

You eat.

I haven't been driving in ten days.

You should eat something.

No, just sleep.

That's all I want.

Just sleep.

This, Albert, is where every captain
trusts to his eyes.

Or his look.

Are those the islands?

Or is it the mainland?

Good God, don't you know?

In this weather, no.

I can't again.

That's the mainland.

Rips into our pork, sir.

It goes between them and the land.

Our heads are locked far as they.

You remember what Mr. Bates told you?

What can

we

do? At least we can bring the lad down.

And...

I am determined upon leaving him, and I
mean what I say. You still care for

Albert, you know.

You pretend you don't, but you couldn't
add your relief when I told you that

Charlotte Rose had arrived safely in San
Francisco.

You are wrong.

After the way he behaved, I haven't one
jot of affection left for the man.

The news is that she'd be leaving San
Francisco on the 17th.

The 17th.

So the Charlotte Road should be home
within a week or so.

Now say you're not affected.

I am not affected.

I am not.

I am not affected.

I gave you a painting job to do, young
tea.

I'd not forgotten, sir.

But I thought that overhauling the
bantlins was more important.

Oh.

Well, there's one thing I want to say to
you.

Sir?

If you have the meetings with the
sailor.

Mind you, I only said the meetings.

Yes. Don't you expect Elizabeth to be
waiting at the quayside?

Good dutiful wife.

Whatever you think, James.

It may surprise you to know that I care
for Elizabeth.

A great deal.

Quick, Rachel, that'll be the master.

Don't keep him waiting. Oh, no, ma 'am.

Come on Rachel!

Thank you, Rachel.

Your brother James' ship is in, and your
husband will be home at any time.

So I'll come straight to the point.

And so you presume to advise me? If you
leave your husband, it'll be my doing.

Your doing?

I told you I'd seen your husband in
Foxy's music rooms and you went to the

and spoke to Carrie Harris. Yes, and if
it weren't for you, I'd never have

known. I'm truly obliged to you, Daniel.
It was purely a chance remark on my

part. I knew nothing about your
husband's affair with her.

Oh, I believe you, Daniel.

You're thinking of me.

And of Albert.

Of our happiness.

But of course...

If I were to leave Albert, you would
feel yourself responsible for our child,

wouldn't you?

Take me to Kirby Road, will you?

Mr. Baines!

Oh, it's you, sir.

Mr. Baines, I've just spoken with my
son.

He told me how you saved his life.

It was more like giving him a hand, sir.

He says you're the finest sailor who's
ever sailed.

Well, you know what young lads are.

Their age, their minds are fanciful.

It seems I misjudged you.

I am truly sorry.

You'll pardon me, sir?

I've told you before, that was not my
reasoning coming here.

If I were to leave, Albert, it would put
you in rather an embarrassing position,

wouldn't it?

I gave up all responsibility to the
child when you married Albert.

Then why are you here?

To preserve your good name with your
lady employer?

Please leave Miss Emma Cullen's name out
of this discussion.

But you are engaged, or are you not?

Are you frightened she'll throw you over
if the truth be known about your son?

You rate me low, madam. Indeed I do.

I rate all men low.

Rachel.

You'd better go.

I'll not leave by the back door.

You come here with your good intentions
and you only make matters worse.

Daniel, please, go. Listen to me, I'm
not going to... Oh.

Rachel, put me things upstairs.

We have a visitor, I think.

Daniel only just arrived.

Of course.

And to see me, I take it. Well, I had
called to discuss business matters, yes.

It must have been urgent that you
couldn't wait for me to get my foot

door. Could it not have waited until
tomorrow?

My apologies.

I will leave.

My dear fellow, no need.

It just occurred to me.

Our meeting at Foxy's Music Room.

Tell me, do you know a singer there?

Carrie Harris?

I have seen her?

Spoken to her?

No. But spoken to me wife of her, maybe.

I did not call here to be cross
-questioned. I know damn well why you

And I've no doubt it's not the first
time since I've been away.

Daniel!

Did you dally with the fellow in me
absence?

No, sir.

Daniel is not like you.

He loves you.

That's plain enough.

But he'll marry Emma Cullen simply for
her money.

You're jealous of him?

I am jealous of your feelings for him.

I don't feel anything for him.

You must excuse me.

No. Albert! Albert, let me go! Let me...
Go!

No,

Albert. Don't you dare.

Albert, let me go, please. You're
behaving like a caught seaman. Home from

long voyage to his wife. Please let me
go. You're hurting me. He's a seaman,

you don't despise him.

How dare you put me down?

What is this?
