Captain Pellew's Landing Party

The following posts relate to our endeavours to recreate the Royal Navy and Marine Corps as they would have looked under the command of Captain Edward Pellew, of HMS Nymph, when he successfully captured the French frigate Cleopatra off the South Devon coast on June 18, 1793.

SKG3 have been staging living history displays and providing speakers since 1993. We are proud to have been commissioned by many prestigious and influential institutions for the education and entertainment of the public. We can mention BBC documentaries (2), German speaking TV (2), and Channel 4. Research material has been used by Ray Mears Survival series, the respected publishers Dorling Kindersley, and archaeological excavations in the United States. Our living history events have proved popular with English Heritage (7), the National Trust (4), the National Army Museum (5), Powderham Castle (5), Exeter City Council (7), in addition to numerous regional museums and festivals.

HMS Bounty visits Plymouth 2011



SKG3 was commissioned to provide a contingent of Royal Navy and Marines to man HMS Bounty on its visit to Plymouth in May 2011. This was the vessel used in the film 'Mutiny on the Bounty' staring Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard in 1962. In portraying the crew, our uniform clothing was quite perfect for the historical event which occured in 1789.
