Subject: [Leica] Film: "Around Cape Horn"

I saw this movie, "Around Cape Horn", one windy evening on board a small
Lindblad expedition vessel in Alaska. I found it to be of genuine
photographic interest. The narrative is quite entertaining.

At the South Street Seaport in Manhattan is a German four-masted ship,
on which you can
see a film. Sometime early in the last century one of the crew had
recorded some of the
life of the ship. He was up in the rigging with his camera (no
lightweight, either) while
the ship rounded Cape Horn in a gale. You see the bowsprit, fifty feet
off the water,
repeatedly going under. How anyone ever survived those passages is a
miracle to this
city-dweller.
