Peter & Wendy (2015, UK)

In the 2015 UK television film Peter & Wendy, the production team used the Shtandart, a modern replica of the 1703 frigate, to portray Captain Hook’s pirate ship. They located the Shtandart docked in Lübeck, Germany, on the Baltic coast, and then transported her to Swanage in Dorset, England, where scenes featuring pirates and the full ship setting were filmed.

The film is a retelling of Peter Pan, written by Adrian Hodges and directed by Diarmuid Lawrence, that mixes Barrie’s fantasy story with a modern-day story about a young girl Lucy who is awaiting heart surgery at Great Ormond Street Hospital. The Shtandart adds authenticity to the seafaring fantasy elements, giving the pirate ship and Hook’s scenes a real presence rather than fully relying on CGI or mockups.
