The Most Historically Accurate Hollywood Films

Realistic 1800s Ships

Before this film, the screen had never seen such accurate colonial costumes or ships in a film before.

The sea captain uniforms are so precise and accurate, you'll feel like you're back in the 1800s while you're watching this film from 2003.
