Welcome to ScaryFangirl.Com, a place for those who are (or would like to be) obsessed with C.S. Forester's nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower.  This site is dedicated to the multiple dimensions of the Hornblower fandom, from the books to the movies, encompassing both the studious and the remarkably silly.  It is my hope that Hornblower junkies the world over will find something here to brighten their day whether their tastes run to the historical or the hysterical.  Enjoy!

• 1/24/09 - The Grand Turk has been dealing with her fair share of misdemeanors lately.  Earlier this month, a homeless man was jailed for attempting to steal fishing rods, beer, and lifejackets off the ship in September of last year and, at the end of December, three men--believed to be drunk--were seen scaling the rigging of the Turk but made off before emergency services could get to the ship.
