I thought this might get lost in the video thread.

I watched this short movie at the Warrnambool Maritime Museum in '95 during a trip along the shipwreck coast of Victoria and been looking for it on and off since.

Really worth watching, especially if you think you had a bad day.

"Capt. Irving Johnson's valiant voyage around cape horn. Simple in production but brilliant in content, this is our best-selling video to date. Captain Irving Johnson sailed aboard the bark "Peking" in 1929, as the sun set on the day of commercial sail. During his voyage on the big German windjammer, Johnson compiled unequaled footage of the crew's daily activities, and spectacular images of a wild storm as the ship made the dangerous passage around. Johnson's narration of the trip is a delight"




@Bermy I think he would have liked it.
