Aficionados of the Aubrey/Maturin series will know this scene,representing the start of Lieutenant Jack Aubrey's long run of luck as his brig Sophie sights her very first prize and goes in hot pursuit.
Polacre was applied to a variety of hull types and sizes but meant only that the masts were in one piece - a pole, in fact - rather than made up of several sections as are Sophie's.
