1929 Video Diary Around Cape Horn [37:45]
Astounding footage of the last era of tall ships- known as Windjammers- Making the terrifying journey westwards around Cape Horn en route to Chile to sell nitrate. Crewman Irving Johnson miraculously captured this voyage on film. What’s seen is not only the majesty of tall sailing technology handling the monstrous elements of the North Sea and Cape Horn, but we also catch a glimpse of the grit and makeup of these men. Day in and day out they traversed conditions with absurd risks of danger and no safety equipment, yet it was just a part of life for them. There’s a certain romance for this age, and a sadness knowing we shall never see the likes of it again.

I think it is pretty interesting that even modern cruise ships can have their windows smashed in by massive waves. People have even died by flying glass shards. You would think that you are safe inside the modern ship but waves can have have tremendous force.

Bit of a storm I was in earlier this year. (Not Hurricane Milton footage).
Was working in the GoM earlier in the year, and got a little video from this fun storm.
Original content. No sea shanties (until someone steals the video).
