Naval Apprentices at Sail Drill on Historic Ship 'Constellation' (1900)
Beautiful and in wonderful condition
14 January 2006 - 1 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
A must see for tall ship and early film aficionados, this short film shows naval cadets raising and lowering sales on the USS Constellation. The film is in wonderful condition and is beautiful to watch. The film is not very long at about 2 minutes and is not terribly action packed, but it is a fascinating glimpse of a world gone by, where large sailing ships could often be seen in harbors around the world, and where naval cadets needed to know how to climb rigging and loosen sail. This film and many others like it can be viewed at the Library of Congress' fantastic web site of early motion pictures:
