Steamship Anne Onedin

Do start now, Bill! I've been going at it since last December, and I'm only now getting into Series 7. (Life gets in the way and definitely slows things down.) And yes; at some point I'll be starting from the beginning again. I just have no idea how long it will take me to get through the rest of Series 7 and 8. (I just finished Ep 2 of Series 7, and – Wow! What an ending to that one!)

Must admit it has been a while since I watched the series, I don't actually
remember what happened about this.

It seems to take a few months or so for me to go through the whole series so
maybe it is time to start again!

Thanks! Maybe one of us will catch that little something that was missed the first (few?) times around!

As for the Anne Onedin, the reason she has sails is because – thanks to some cosmetics (false funnel, deckhouse aft, and wheelhouse amidships) and a change of name boards – the Charlotte Rhodes doubled as the Anne Onedin. With other cosmetic changes she also portrayed other Onedin ships: Caledonia, Oberon, and Cardiff (and of course without any cosmetics, the Scotch Lass).

I saw this thread question from you and was watching closely as I started again with Series 3, I'm almost up to Series 5. I think you're right, we don't know what happened.

That was in S4N2 "A Cold Wind Blowing". She's part of the plot in S4N3 "Not Wanted on Voyage" but in S4N5 "Quarantine" James makes a contract requiring 3 steamers and Elizabeth says he has none, and there is no mention that the Anne Onedin is busy doing other trade.

I'll keep watching & update if I see more references.

Also the Anne Onedin has sails, but the Golden Nugget was designed by Albert NOT to carry sail, the two masts just for hoisting cargo S2N?. The model he showed in series 2 also shows up on the table at the launching ceremony of the Anne Onedin in S3N1 but we only see the hull of the actual ship during the launching so it isn't obvious until later episodes that the actual ship is different from Albert's design and the model.
