**Notably, Lord Nelson had also lost his right arm. Aubrey never points this out to Blakeny, instead directing him towards the illustrations of battle strategies. However, Blakeny soon finds an engraving of Lord Nelson and his empty sleeve.

** This continues on when Aubrey immediately calls for Hollom to report to his cabin and gives him a lecture about the importance of disciplining the men. Granted, the lecture is done in a WellDoneSonGuy manner...but it's clear that [[AFatherToHisMen Aubrey]] is trying to help Hollom become a better officer because "you can't be a midshipman forever".

* Aubrey's concern for the heavily wounded middie, Lord Blakeney, who's broken arm must be amputated above the elbow. Jack gives him a book to read about Lord Nelson's military escapades while the lad is held up in his hammock after surgery, and it's quite clear Aubrey sees the same potential for greatness in the little chap as his own hero saw in him.
* An InUniverse example when Jack tells his officers at the Captain's table the second, slightly more serious, anecdote on Lord Nelson.
-->'''Aubrey:''' The second time... The second time he told me a story, about how someone offered him a boat cloak on a cold night. And he said no, he didn't need it. That he was quite warm. His zeal for king and country kept him warm.
-->'''Maturin:''' ''(polite sighing scoff)''
-->'''Aubrey:''' I know it sounds absurd, and were it from another man, you'd cry out: "oh, what pitiful stuff" and dismiss it as mere enthusiasm. But with Nelson... you felt your heart glow.
* Lord Blakeney brings Maturin an unknown species of beetle, knowing he would appreciate some specimen of local fauna as he was very disappointed they couldn't stop at the Galapagos.
* When Nagle refuses to salute and barges past Hollom, he doesn't reckon on being ''immediately'' spotted and called out on his actions by Jack who is quick to jump to the midshipman's defence.

* After Doctor Stephen Maturin has been accidentally shot and is dying, with the only real hope of saving him getting him onto dry land where an operation can be attempted to remove the lead ball. It is reported that the enemy ship has been sighted, and they are catching her, Jack looks out after the ship he has been chasing for most of the film through his telescope, goes into his cabin and sees Stephens abandoned Cello, and finally goes to see Stephen in the sickbay. The scene changes to Stephen waking up being carried on a stretcher having landed on the Galapagos islands. He smiles wanly at Jack through his fever and says: "please tell me this is not on my account." To which Jack replies: "not at all, I just needed to stretch my legs." Just to add to the heartwarmingness, it is set to the soundtrack of Corelli's beautiful "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc2bm4URSso Adagio From Concerto Grosso]]".

* When Aubrey tells Maturin that they'll be staying on land for a week before heading back to England to repair the ''Surprise'', and resuming their pursuit of the enemy ship. This would allow Maturin to pursue nature studies of the island that he had wanted to do before but Aubrey had refused because the mission came first:
-->'''Dr. Maturin:''' Jack, I fear you have burdened me with a debt I can never fully repay.
-->'''Capt. Aubrey:''' Tosh. Name a shrub after me. Something prickly and hard to eradicate.
-->'''Maturin:''' A shrub? Nonsense! I shall name a new species of tortoise after you: Testudo Aubreii!
** Later on, he ''does'' repay him, by abandoning almost all of his specimens and rushing back when he manages to stumble across the Acheron at the other side of the island.
