Sovereignty Of The Sea

@hms-surprise / hms-surprise.tumblr.com

⚓The Surprise, 6th Rate Frigate of 28 guns in the service of His Majesty's Royal Navy. Commanded by the Honorable Lucky Jack Aubrey. French-built with a bluff bow and lovely lines, weatherly, stiff and fast when she is well-handled.
This is an Aubrey/Maturin aesthetic blog (if that isn’t already obvious enough) everything posted is something either Jack Aubrey or Stephen Maturin would post.

I cry over ships and fictional people. I also have an obsession with the Age of Sail and probably have a doppelgänger in some parallel universe that is a naval captain. I write when I’m not reading and read when I’m not writing and that’s about all I’m good at.
