Hey Joe, it's titled "Around Cape Horn" not "Around the Horn".

Idiot!

Whoo whee! Four bucks cheaper than Joes' link!

Cheers

Is that the same Peking as the tall ship at the South Street Seaport?

Yes

Joe

Hmm. I wonder if South Street Seaport shows a copy of the movie. Anyone
know?

I doubt it, seems Irving was a big fan of the Mystic Seaport Museam,
they own the rights. And they make it quite clear it's not to be shown
in group setting,

Umm... not exactly, Joe. Almost all video tapes sold or rented to individuals
are not licensed to be shown for anything other than private viewing. That does
not mean the video is not available with different rights. I can buy a James
Bond movie on DVD, or rent it from Blockbuster, but it does not have a license
for me to show it, for example, on the TV in a public bar, even if I don't
charge admission.

Thanks for clearing that up Charlie...Buy it, and show it to your
sailing friends.
It's worth the money. IMO the film is a national treasure.

But it would be showing the film in a commercial venue,
which is not all that different from charging admission (as
I understand the laws). You could show it at a sailing club
get-together, right?

It's pretty interesting. And it gives the best impression of
ocean sailing that I've seen captured on film. The Captain
prying away at the lashed-down anchor, insisting that it be
re-lashed so that there isn't the tinyest bit of movement;
the time Johnson almost washes overboard with his camera;
the scenes from aloft... now that I think about it, I agree
it's a must-see for sailors.

Doug, I've noted before that you need to stick to what you know something

And you've also noted how quick I am (IYHO) to make
off-topic ad-hominem attacks.

There's enough irony in your posts today to build Joe a new
boat.

I've only seen clips of it. Amazing stuff.



It's a short film 37min. And is narrated by Irving. Its something to
see guys 170ft above the ship going hand over hand down the forward jib
stay, no safety gear at all. Hand over hand only "using your boots for
one trip down would wear them thru, or letting your oilskins drag would
ruin them." Top that off with the fact Irving carries a big camera
aloft to film it all. One shot shows Irving sewing a sail, his arms put
your Govanators muscles to
shame.



I understand that the photographer had himself lashed to one of the
masts to keep from being washed overboard. It's an amazing film.

Been out sailing lately Jim?
You going to anchor out for the fireworks?

One of the best shots in Around the Horn is when Irving's aloft
looking at the stern wake. Looks like a 4 screw aircraft carriers wake
steaming at full throttle. Doing 16kts. And the Peking is a big heavy
Steel Hull. If Cabin boy Rob viewed it in his home theater he would
faint.
