Golden Compass

Fantasy films have always been fun for all ages and it seems the Golden Compass may be yet another winner -- at least from the looks of the preview. Have you seen the Golden Compass? A story of good versus evil, The golden compass is what everyone will be searching for in this story, but in this story the compass is used by those who seek truth rather than true North. In the story it is known as the alethiometer - a gadget used to gain insight.


You may be wondering why I'm sharing the Golden Compass story on Tall Sails Adventure. The reason is simply because a portion of the movie takes place on a clipper ship so I thought it may be of interest to you. I have not seen the movie so I don't know how much of it takes place on board the clipper ship. If you have seen it, perhaps you could let us know by commenting.
