Irving-Johnson-Around-Cape-Horn-3-15-23

The film, shot in 1929 is silent, but narrated by Captain Irving Johnson in 1980, who was aboard “Peking” during this voyage and took all of the film footage with a camera he had brought with him. He was only 24 at the time. Johnson continued a career as a sailor, and met his wife, Electa “Exy” Johnson while working aboard a schooner bound for France. They married in 1932 and went on to circumnavigate the globe together, teaching young sailors, and writing several books, articles, and producing several films based on their adventures.
