Port Stanley the Globe pub, the peat fire at the end of the room, I had spent a few hours in that Bar, back in the 70s. Ships still go round Cape Horn and even into Drakes Passage and still get into trouble
One of the best documentaries I've seen in recent times. The soundtrack, Jason Robards' narration is impeccable. Thanks for uploading this video. Cheers!
This doco shows footage and a pic of two captain's of other boats! The pic of the dodgey captain who Shanghai'd crew is actually a pic of Joshua Slocombe! Who first sailed single handed around the world!!
How do you think our highways tunnels and bridge's get built and who is building the Great ships of today? Clearly it is YOU who has not done an honest day's work
SInce the day, most wrecks around the SOuthern Ocean are rare.....If you know where you are and you aren;t at risk form your position. you WILL survive even under bare poles. I made it in a 1983 Hunter, a marina Queen 31
the Joseph Conrad is a SHIP, not a BARQUE. AND there are plenty of expert seafaring nations, also i the days of sail, long before immigration to the Americas. In case You did't know.
In basic for merchant marines in 1980 h a d a lifeboat instructor Mr. Moore. He said when I went to sea the ships were wood and the men were iron now the ships are iron and the men are pussys
But a ship lives for long past its initial cost. Id argue a wooden ship if done substantially is much better than steel or fiberglass whos manufacture leads to much more environmental impact. No we cant but modern ships this way but if you harvest trees correctly you can build wooden ships from the same forest for hundreds of years if stewerd correctly

Great archive footage...That dark Sea and white foam has always stirred a sense of awe and dread...hypnotic and unforgiving
What a fantastic documentary you’ve done of this fantastic era.
My favorite doc no doubt!
Thank You!
The energy, the sky and the sea with valiant sailors continually in danger and vigilant is captured so well.Thanks for this
This is a very potent documentary. Ya know, if you’re into this kinda thing.
Very interesting documentary. It’s humbling to see what these sailors and captains endured.
Fabulous film. An era gone. Thanks.
Thank you for posting this marvelous documentary.

Superb documentary, thanks so much for uploading.
a very enjoyable but oft sad video. many thanks for producing and posting it.
Cape Horn looks fine on a nice day, but such a hell when the winds blow or the ship fails. Makes me grateful for my cozy home.

Excellent documentary.
Jerry Ross, Marci Cumins and Lee Ditchter the sound people deserve 3 cheers for an excellent job.
Thank you.
A very well done video, definitely one of the best, but very sad to see so many beautiful ships wrecked
If they were not wrecked then they were never remembered.
Learned many new things.

Great Documentary, many Thanks.
Those dudes building the ships look like the toughest men iv seen nothing but. Back breaking work you cant find men to work that hard this day in age.
How do you think our highways tunnels and bridge's get built and who is building the Great ships of today?
Clearly it is YOU who has not done an honest day's work
Mesmerizing
Well written

These were marvelous ships manned by men, no matter the age, and an Almighty GOD.
Fantastic
Hence the name "knots"..for the knots n the lne that measure the speed
My top video
From the sea she came. And to the sea she shall return.
Nearly any sailing vessel can survive the Cape. WHat they cannot survive is piss poor navigstion and arrogant captains.
the Joseph Conrad is a SHIP, not a BARQUE. AND there are plenty of expert seafaring nations, also i the days of sail, long before immigration to the Americas. In case You did't know.

HAck when making a living had nothing to do with politics
:D
Living trees of the forest transformed into a living thing of the sea? Wrong...a dead thing of the sea...Fell a living tree and it dies...
