This film is considered lost.
Once thought completely lost, in December 2014 it was made public that some footage (probably 2 reels or more) exist in an Archive in Netherlands.
Despite his antipathy towards public appearances, Lon Chaney, in a surviving letter to his business manager, reported that during production he acted as a celebrity ticket seller for a dance benefiting victims of the Jackson Mine Disaster (aka the Argonaut Mine disaster in Jackson, California, that occurred on August 22, 1922, and killed at least 47 people). Chaney sold tickets for the event but made it clear he would not deliver any speeches.
In a surviving letter to his business manager, Lon Chaney was less than complimentary to some of his co-stars. He called Malcolm McGregor a "dumb-bell" and said that Billie Dove "one of those 'Blah' sort that has all beauty and no brains." He approved of the work in the film being done by Robert McKim and William V. Mong.
Several whaling ships were used in the film, including the "Port Saunders" (65-foot) and a much older vessel called the "Carolyn Frances" (165-foot).
