The World About Us

The Jolly-Rodgered Sea (6x3)

Data di messa in onda: Gen 16, 1972

The World About Us sails 'The Jolly-Rodgered Sea' "Once, through these waters, schooners no larger than ours carried a couple of hundred poor slaves down below in the hold. Today, our rich cargo pays for the privilege of working with us." Val Howells skippers the Yankee Clipper, largest of the Caribbean's remaining staysail schooners, through the volcanic multiracial islands of the Windward chain. She sails now where dug-out canoes go faster than yachts and where the skills which built the wooden navies are practised by their last generation of shipwrights; and, even in the hurricane season, she carries through this lustiest of men's worlds a majority of women passengers.
