I wonder if it might be fair to say that men such as knox-johnston viewed such an expedition as a 'conquering' of the seas and whereas men such as moitessier viewed it as a uniting or harmonising with the seas.

How is the restoration going forward? I would like to make a contribution if possible

I'd like it if you found more Philip Glassborow productions and put them up, this man is a genius with audio story telling.

What have you contributed to the sport. ???

Pourquoi avoir laisser mourir ce vénérable steamer et en faire un musée et surtout a t'on trouvé de l'argent pour le sauver de cette triste situation ...?

Last of the old school men of the sea. Tough, resourceful, fearless, exceptional.

There is something about sailing out into the deep ocean and the only sounds you hear are the rush of the water as you glide over it and the whisper of the wind in the sails and rigging. You become part of nature. Time stands still and the days and nights come and go and you are enveloped in the power of nature around you. You realise that you are powerless to do anything but absorb it. If you let it, you enter a world where even on the roughest day, you feel somehow safe. I sailed from Sydney to Chile via the southern route and it changed me. With my companion, a friend of 50 years, we rarely needed to speak as our world became the sea and the boat. He used to sit on the deck, leaning with his back against the mast for many hours and he said he was in another existence. That's sailing. One overnight trip on a calm night is all it takes to grab you.

Thank you for this video.

Spent many, many happy nights in the disco 🍻🍻🍻

Well, there are KZbin videos and there are KZbin videos. This one, like it’s subject, is in a class of its own. Thank you! I read “The Lonely Sea and the Sky” many times and letter on Sir Robin’s book and Ellen MacArthur’s. Finally, at 62, I bought a little trailer sailer, got my Day Skipper and eventually sailed solo from Falmouth to the Isles of Scilly. Not round the world, but it was an adventure for me. Thank you Sir Robin! ⛵️🍾❤️ PS. And thank you Neil!

Excellent documentary! Perhaps THE best on Robin Knox-Johnston. Thanks! 🙂

what a shame

Great to see the old MK 11 desk , spent many happy hours driving shows and presenting from them at BBC Radio Newcastle

Your nature drive is the forse for my journey sailing around the world. Thank you so much Sir Knox- Jonston!

Awesome human being!

Wonderfull old steamer, what a shame to let it rott to pieces.....one should fix it up and convert it to a hydrogen steam boiling system (Climate neutral) as they do in Germany with steam locomotives at Meiningen steam train workshop..

Thanks for uploading this video

met my future wife on the boat in 1982 , great days gone

He looks like a friend of mine , another force of nature , kindred spirits . God bless your life , love , honesty and charity is the law , and you passed it.

Always sad to see the end of anything

Man has no fear 👌

Many thanks ! A priceless recording, thankfully, now saved digitally.

Hard as nails. I need to look into this Clipper Challenge, is it still a thing?

Built in Australia

terrific.

That isn’t Titanic’s whistle. I heard the real thing in 1999 when RMS Titanic did a one-time sounding of the recovered whistle in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It was nothing like this. There are videos online from that event for those who are interested. The sound wasn’t exactly like it would have been in 1912, because they used compressed air instead of steam, but it gave a good approximation.

A lot of memories in this. Thanks Neil.

If I'm not mistaken, this man battled lightning, hull breaches, and sharks within a 24 hour period while in the middle of the ocean by himself. The mad lad then decided to go back around the world again. Legend.

I remember travelling on the ship as a small boy, happy memories

Well, I'm really glad I watched this.

That does not sound like the whistle but then again it’s been sitting underwater

Not a word about Slocum. But Johnsons work is worthy enough to stand alone.

Part of the inspiring story of a cool, real man, Robin Knox-Johnston. Thank you BBC and thank you for posting this exceptional programme. You may notice one painting appears in this film more than any other? Robin named the painting "Roaring Forties". To give you an opportunity to share his adventure, to inspire others, fine art prints on canvas are available, for the look and feel of the real thing, co signed by Robin, a numbered edition from my marine web site for a very affordable price. To discover more search my name or try this link > www.frickers.co.uk/art/marine-art/yachts-and-superyachts/robin-knox-johnston-roaring-forties/ <. I drew the concept sketches it will lunching at his invitation, with Robin. He has commissioned paintings by me three times, which I take as a great compliment. Robin has been and remains an inspiration for me and I feel honoured to be able to say, a friend.

The ship is small

what kind of horn starting 0:00 like a carnival fredom or titanic horn.

where is the titanic in this place?

Sounds more like a Horny Whistle

0:00 i think thats the carpathia's whistle

It sounds like a horn...

Fun fact that's not the exact sound of the whistle, because they used air instead of steam
