The animated film shows a simplified, fictionalised, story, concentrating upon the central characters. The true history is, however, just as interesting, and thoroughly epic in nature.
In 1899 a sailing ship, the Forrest Hall, was in danger off the northern coast of Exmoor, England. It had left Bristol on the 12th of January on a journey to Liverpool where it was to be refitted.
There was only a skeleton crew including apprentices on board. A tug boat, the Jane Joliffe, was towing the ship as the worst storm of the year was beginning to batter the coast. The line from the tug snapped, causing the two vessels to collide.

This project is about Writing press releases and editorial. to help you to get some information for your school or university project.
This was a university project that I did with my friend, and I hop you fond it useful
A few years ago, while working at an ad agency in Toronto, after telling a co-worker about my interest in history, and specfically "the mysteries of history", he challenged me to write a movie about one story in particular: the fact that Columbus did not simply decide to sail across the ocean blue to see what was on the other side of the world, but he had a map - one he had obtained from a sea captain. We now know Vikings had explored North America's eastern shores, and it is likely the Chinese had likewise explored the West Coast, long before 1492. I thought, based on what I had read, that the story of Columbus and his various voyages would make a great movie.
