I found it to be of genuine photographic interest. The narrative is quite entertaining.

Sometime early in the last century one of the crew had recorded some of the life of the ship. He was up in the rigging with his camera (no lightweight, either) while the ship rounded Cape Horn in a gale. You see the bowsprit, fifty feet off the water, repeatedly going under. How anyone ever survived those passages is a miracle to this city-dweller.
