Călătoria curajoasă a căpitanului Irving Johnson în jurul Capului Horn. Simplu ca producție, dar genial în conținut, acesta este cel mai bine vândut videoclip al nostru până în prezent. Căpitanul Irving Johnson a navigat la bordul scoarței „Peking” în 1929, când soarele apunea în ziua navigației comerciale. În timpul călătoriei sale pe marele windjammer german, Johnson a compilat imagini inegalabile ale activităților zilnice ale echipajului și imagini spectaculoase ale unei furtuni sălbatice în timp ce nava a făcut trecerea periculoasă. Narațiunea călătoriei lui Johnson este o încântare deținută de portul maritim mistic

În jurul Capului Horn (1929)
This ship was for a long time a museums ship in Loower Mahattan. NY. It is now back in its old homeport Hamburg as museums ship.
What would it take to colorize this film? Capt Johnson mentions that it's difficult to see just how massive the ocean is in black and white – made me think there must be a way to color it
There are sailors and there are are real sailors. Times have changed.
Incredibly he lived here in Hadley Mass, and today I just met his good friends who live on the river. Talk about coincidence.
So this video is even more interesting to me. I'm from the city called Hoorn. Cape Horn is named after my city, decided by 2 Dutch Captains. In a video that itself is 100 years old, commented by an American.
This is why I love history.
Yesterday we were on the Peking and had a guided tour. The guide recommended this very impressive video. Now there are handrails and even an elevator for handicapped. Back then they just had "Take care!" as only safety measure…
Fantastic, thank you
It seems silly but i would eat my own foot to round the horn on Peking to feel her going 16 knots
Ps i had the …pleasure? Of meeting Irving Johnson at 65 he could do a full extension with his body on a straight pole…he could literally pound a nail with his hands…really straight edge though, rum? Heavens no, he wouldn't have a cup of tea…might be something to all that. Incredible nonetheless as a Johnny come lately to square riggers and filmI have the utmost respect for him.
Him down the edge of the sails
Wow the Irving would have made a great carnival barker or one of those salesmen who used to do slice-o-matic pitches on Saturdays in the department stores.
Back when men were men
I can’t stop watching this video, and now others like it. What a time, what a job, what a life.
Absolutely fascinating story, I am really happy to have stumbled upon it. Many thanks to the uploader!
These Guys are my Heros!!!!
What an extraordinary document of a particular place and time. Thank you
I grew up a few miles from Mystic Seaport, we used to go to it every few years. Wonderful place
I'm exhausted just having watched these guys work.
Thanks, subby.
I've always been fascinated by early sailors taking on the winter sea around cape horn.
Totally awesome video 🎉
Impressive – an anthropological study too – – – what the sailors are able and willing todo "for the ship"…
absolutely amazing, 12:51 that was a solid young man and so ahead of his time to have been training wrestling and jiu-jitsu. blessed to have come across this. that dog lol "safety what's that? take care of yourself in every case and you'll be alright" That's going on the wall!
Thank you from Moscow.
God bless you.
