Hunt for a book called "The Set of the Sails" by Alan Villiers and when you get it, never let it out of your grasp.

That first video is pure gold and hardcore..
"Those two men in the middle were later washed overboard, two empty bunks and nothing more was said of it"

Thanks for those Cisco, will be down your way soon and must catch up.

The cameraman performed an incredible feat when you take into consideration early cinematography equipment. A wonder he and his camera didn't end up in Davy Jone's locker!

You have snipped a bargain. Once you have read the book you will realize what a bargain it is and what an unsung Australian hero and legend Alan Villiers was.

Turn the imageineering video on and enjoy the recording.
