    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The ship featured in the film is the Albatross, a brigantine that was later sailed by Dr. Christopher B. Sheldon for his Ocean Academy, a summer program that took on high school-age boys to study preparatory college classes and sail training. The ship sank in a storm in the summer of 1961, drowning Sheldon's wife, the ship's cook and 3 other students. This story was dramatized in Ridley Scott's film White Squall (1996), starring Jeff Bridges.
    • Quotes
      • First Mate Ramsay: Simple men always solve problems with their fists.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits read "Written by Ernest K. Gann," implying it's an original screenplay rather than an adaptation of his own novel.
    • Connections
      Featured in Rock Hudson's Home Movies (1992)
