GG2421 ” Around the Horn in a Square Rigger ” 1933 Educational Film Documenting the Parma in the Australian Grain Race

“Around The Horn”, “The Parma defeated the nineteen other vessels in the race by from 9 to 63 days”, “After 83 days the Parma anchored in Falmouth, England, setting a record for modern wind jammers and winning the Australian Grain Race” “Eight-one days out we overhaul the Barque Penang, which sailed forty-one days before us.”

“AROUND THE HORN IN A SQUARE RIGGER was filmed by noted sailor, author and photographer Alan Villiers documenting the record-breaking 83-day voyage of the 1902 barque Parma from Australia to England in the 1933 Grain Race. Villiers writes, “We wanted to make a picture that would capture some of the stirring beauty of these ships… some glimmer of understanding of the attraction which they hold over those who sail in them.””
