<P> In the summer of 1972, the Rose was hired for the film "The Man Without a Country", a made - for - television production . Norman Rosemont Productions couldn't find the money to take the ship out sailing, so all the filming was shot with sails set, as the ship was securely moored to the pier, next to the causeway to Goat Island . During filming Cliff Robertson had to hide that he had a broken leg at the time . </P> <P> Late in the 1990s, the publisher W.W. Norton & Company rented the Rose in New York for a pier - side party to celebrate the publication of Patrick O'Brian's latest novel . O'Brian himself was present, and he casually mentioned to the Rose's captain Richard Bailey that if the Rose were painted in an 1805 colour scheme she would be a "dead ringer" for the frigate Surprise that appeared in his books . Bailey quickly ordered his crew to get out the paint and make the changes . O'Brian was so impressed that he changed his mind about his prohibition of having any of his books converted into film, and Norton immediately started looking for a Hollywood production company . </P> <P> The ship was sold to the 20th Century Fox film studio in March 2001, and underwent extensive modifications to be used in the making of the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, in which she portrayed the Royal Navy frigate Surprise with a story based on several of the books by Patrick O'Brian . The modifications included a reshaped stern, all deck structures removed, the single ship's wheel replaced by a double wheel, period fighting tops fitted, new sails, and the figurehead replaced . </P> <P> After the film was complete, the ship was leased and then purchased by the Maritime Museum of San Diego which has restored her to sailing condition as of September 2007 . The ship has officially been re-registered as "HMS Surprise" in honor of her role in the film . She sails several times a year, often with the museum's other tall ships, the schooner Californian and the 1863 barque Star of India . In 2010, she portrayed HMS Providence in the Disney adventure film Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides . </P>
