Around the Horn in 1928

[Bowdrie]

I suppose that this sub-forum is the right place to show what sailors did on a real square-rigged ship.

[El Pinguino]

Small point of order.
At 36:46 he says they have arrived at Talcahuano - which is south of Santiago and was not a nitrate port but was most likely her first port of call to discharge general cargo from Germany.
At around the 33:40 mark you can see the coastline which is a match for Iquique - one of the major nitrate ports.

Pic of a laden 'Flying P' departing Iquique below. This photo hangs on the wall in the Iquique yacht club.

I wonder if this was taken by Irving Johnson when Peking was sailing from the port?
