When Hornblower, with his men, are locked in the stocks, he urges them to break free by saying "Two, six, heave". This is a British Royal Navy phrase used to coordinate seamen's pulling.
The brown print day dress worn by Julia Sawalha (Maria) is the same costume worn by Cécile Paoli (Lucille) in Sharpe: Sharpe's Waterloo (1997).
The white and blue print gown Julia Sawalha (Maria) wears to church is the same costume worn by a guest at the Easter Ball in Wives and Daughters (1999).
When the men are signing in, it is possible to tell that, according to the log, Styles is 32 years old, has 18 of experience and he's illiterate (he signs using an "X"), while Matthews is 45 with 33 years of experience and can read and write.
In this adaptation of the book, the French major is needed as translator. In both the book and earlier TV series, Hornblower speaks fluent French.
"Lieutenant Bush: [Mr. Bush has noticed that there is no mention of Horatio's smothering the fuse of a cannon ball] Sir, I hope you will not fail to mention the incident. Commander Horatio Hornblower: It has been recorded in the log. Lieutenant Bush: [reading] A five inch shot, fired from shore, landed on deck and failed to explode. Sir, that is not what happened. Commander Horatio Hornblower: Was not a five inch shot fired from shore? Lieutenant Bush: Yes, sir. Commander Horatio Hornblower: Did it not land on deck? Lieutenant Bush: Well, yes sir but... Commander Horatio Hornblower: Did it perhaps explode without my noticing? Lieutenant Bush: No, sir. Commander Horatio Hornblower: Then my report is accurate."
"Commander Horatio Hornblower: [Speaking of the loyalty of Irish sailors to the British Crown] It is better to earn loyalty than to demand it. Admiral Sir Edward Pellew: When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things. Commander Horatio Hornblower: Sir? Admiral Sir Edward Pellew: Hmmm. You know, Hornbloer, it is very hard for a father to see his children grow up. Commander Horatio Hornblower: I'm not sure I understand you, sir. Admiral Sir Edward Pellew: I dare say, you will."
