		POB states that at the time that Surprise is passing the third ship behind it, the position is thus [Chart 5-1, point 3]: "On the port bow a long mile away to the north-east" is Marengo.

		What fooled me was Aubrey's statement that he served on the HMS Surprise as a midshipmen -- an impossibility for the real ship, because it was not captured until after Aubrey had his lieutenant's commission.
		HMS Surprise starts with Jack Aubrey as the "job captain" -- substitute captain -- of the HMS Lively, an actual frigate of the period.
		It was converted to a troopship in spring of 1811, and (during the period in which it was supposedly under Aubrey's command) served at Leith, and during 1812 to 1813 in the Mediterranean, and around the Iberian peninsula.

		The Surprise, a sixth-rate (28-gun) frigate, is where nearly all the action takes place, from musical concerts in the captain's great cabin to grisly battle mayhem on the gun deck.
		So it's no, ah, surprise that the vessel playing Surprise is, in fact, a modern-day replica, the Rose, built in Lunenburg, NS in 1970.
		On the gun deck, the muzzles of 20 of the 28 cannon a sixth-rater like the Surprise or Trincomalee would have carried still jut from their gun ports, surrounded by the tools needed to prime and fire them.
