This is a film I know well, we used to play it at the Maritime Museum of British Columbia, where I worked.  

Around Cape Horn doesn’t look like much at first, no flash, but it’s all substance I guarantee you.  Listen as Captain Irving Johnson takes you by the hand and shows you everything you’re seeing the way he remembers it, when he took this footage in 1929.  Beyond the age of sail, but thankfully for us, into the moving picture age.

You can purchase the video, of course.  It was made by the capable people at Mystic Seaport, this is their store.  Mystic Seaport is the largest maritime museum in North America, and I got to visit it last year.  Delightful!
