Sorry for the delay, it has taken me s...Hi Unknown! Sorry for the delay, it has taken me some time to find my books so I can better answer your question. I believe the film is supposed to take place in 1805. According to "The World of Jack Aubrey" by David Miller, "In the 1795 uniform, this [the bicorn hat] had a rear brim higher than that at the front, and was worn "athwartships" (i.e., with the points above the shoulders). Under the 1812 regulations, however, this changed to a hat with equal sized brims, which was worn "fore-and-aft" although admirals in full dress persisted (as was their prerogative) with the older, athwartships fashion well into the 1820s (p. 64)." On the previous page in this book is an illustration of two captains, both wearing the 1795-1812 uniform pattern. The captain in full dress is shown with the hat worn fore-and-aft, while the other captain is in "undress" (i.e. day-to-day uniform) and the hat shown is worn "athwartships."<br /><br />I also found some information about the movie hats in the book, "The Making of Master and Commander The Far Side of the World" by Tom McGregor. On page 83, it is mentioned that Lieutenant Pullings wears his hat "fore-and-aft" while Jack Aubrey wears his "athwartships" in the manner of Lord Nelson. On page 87, there is some hat discussion from the actor who played Mowett - his character was supposed to wear the "fore-and-aft" hat like Pullings, but apparently it caused problems on set - it was big and blocking the view of other actors in the scene. So they put Mowett in a top hat instead.<br /><br />So from what I can gather, it sounds like the decision to have Jack wear his hat "athwartships" was made because it was the "old-fashioned" way of wearing it and because it was the way Jack's hero, Lord Nelson, wore his. Wearing a hat fore-to-aft was a newer fashion, so the younger officers were shown wearing theirs that way. I did not find any information in my books about the design of a hat indicating officer's rank. I believe the epaulettes (the fancy gold shoulder things on their jackets) were one indicator of rank, an were the ribbons on the jacket's cuffs.Cat Carlislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13193769212437249345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14941667.post-38448127882825771322022-09-01T20:06:22.162-07:002022-09-01T20:06:22.162-07:00i am watching the movie right now (once again) i ...i am watching the movie right now (once again) i have never found out the meaning of the various hats. there are so many, like jack's hate that is worn to the side...the other man forgot his name, wears it forward. then the top hats..and whatever...so many more.<br /><br />they must signify rank i would imagine...but what rank goes to which hat.<br /><br />if you can help i would appAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207837380808335413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14941667.post-13286671004720101412021-07-31T22:49:36.317-07:002021-07-31T22:49:36.317-07:00

They weren't super strong though, because there were two layers of fabric between the magnets and the metal washers sewn into the back of the doll. They wouldn't stay in place if the doll was picked up and held by her arms, for example. I think velcro might be a bit more secure if you want to be sure the organs aren't falling out every time the doll is moved.Cat Carlislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13193769212437249345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14941667.post-15522800657023489872020-09-03T15:53:17.165-07:002020-09-03T15:53:17.165-07:00what kind of magnets did you use?
