In a Cloud of Sails

Canada's forgotten Lady of the Sea

Omschrijving

Would you sail the vast Pacific in a three-masted ship built in North Vancouver? This is the true story of Canada's forgotten Lady of the Sea, the Monte Cristo. Young sailors who jumped at the chance in 1970 to sail to Tahiti met Marlon Brando and made ready for Apollo 13's landing. With her name changed to Endeavour II, she greeted the Queen in Australia as the feature ship of the Bicentenary of Capt. Cook's landing at Botany Bay. There were fights among the crew and a mutiny that nearly wreaked her in Brisbane. Then she turned to New Zealand. It did not end well.
