A schooner that was once commanded by the fictious Lt Horatio Hornblower RN in 'Hornblower' (series III) as HMS Retribution, as well as in the 'Moby Dick' inspired epic 'Heart of the Sea' was this sailing brig 'Phoenix.' Possibly returning to her home at Charlestown in Cornwall, she was formerly a Danish Evangelical Missionary Schooner that was built in 1929 and was later converted as a two masted Brig and is seen heads out to sea at Devils Point. This ship has been used in such period films as 'Hornblower' and 'In the Heart of the Sea' and 'Voyage of the Dawn Treader.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeiAEgCYE98
