Odol Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) That is the Lynx next to the Surprise. The Lynx in games hull sits too low in the water, and it is also about 20% too small. Length- 97ft (total Length) HMS Surprise(Unite) - 129ft. The Rose, pictured above (replica of the Surprise)- 179ft (Total Length) Edited June 18, 2017 by Odol 1

It was HMS Bounty I Now that.. but as you may have seen the ship in my and in Odols picture both have an american flag. Therefore it's the same ship.. I'd say it's a replic, though but certainly not a british ship in this case. Nevertheless the real bounty of course was a british ship.
maturin Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Neither Rose, Lynx nor Bounty are/were of similar size to their historical counterparts. 2

The Rose, was also called the Bounty and used as a replica of that ship and later used in the filming of "Master and Commander: Far side of the World" as the HMS Surprise. Either way, the ship sits to close to the water in game in battle vs real life. Edited June 18, 2017 by Odol

As far as I am aware, Surprise in the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World was the replica Rose, built in 1970 and now named Surprise, and is shown in some other photographs in this thread. Lynx is also a replica, built in 2001.

Lynx is also a replica, built in 2001. Lynx is built true to form. I dont even think it has a engine in it and is completely sail powered.

Your picture still shows the Rebuild HMS Bounty maybe The Rose´s name was once Bounty but its not the ship on your picture. I think they only tried with the outside of the Replica Lynx to let it look historical i dont think its inside like that ... i mean there are savety things that are nessesary today on ships per regulation.
