I think this movie is one of the better swashbuckler - old sailing ship movies out there.
I have read it is losely based on the life of the great British Admiral Nelson.
The movie takes place during the time period when England, France and Spain were all trying to be the "Masters of the Seas".
It has a great combination of action and a little romance for the women also.
The action scenes are very well done even by todays standards. While maybe not as realistic and bloody as "Master and Commander", it is still a fast paced, entertaining action flick.
I have the VHS also and they did an excellent job transferring the movie to the DVD format.
