Its more than just a rock in the sea i mean it is just that you know the most mature is its the everest of say. 50 miles of beach and this captive people sometimes call this cape fear is if theres a lot of history in the mountains that you can see behind me the pacific side strangely. This is a concern tomba in southern denmark. Adventure and expedition leader are good folks is having his historic wooden sailing ship the dock morrow and overhauled and repaired here ahead of his next big voyage folks and his crew are going to sail to antarctica. They journey will take them around the southern tip of south america and the dreaded cape horn. Its a dangerous trip that will place huge demands on the crew. There sealing the joints with tar and pitch to make sure the ship is c. Where the. In the late 1980 s. Folks have the dogma and rebuilt and sailed it through the northwest and northeast passages of the arctic ocean. He steals himself against the cold by bathing in icy water during the winter all spending time in cold storage warehouses. Hes described as exhibitions in numerous books and has been the subject of several documentary films. In 1989 folks became the 1st person to reach the north and south poles on foot in the same year. He made headlines in 1984 by sailing around cape horn in winter in a folding boat now he plans to return. In august 2015 the dogma or incest off on its long journey south. Its 9000 nautical miles from here to cape horn. This journey will be an enormous challenge for the crew the bay of biscay provided the 1st real test of their sailing skills. From there the route leads via the Canary Islands to guinea bissau. Next they turn west and head across the south atlantic. Then down the south american coast past brazil and argentina. Cape horn was discovered for the western world by dutch explorers in 1616. This is the port town of horn in the netherlands the starting point of the sea voyage that would discover cape horn. A faithful replica of a ship from that era is stuck near the harbor museum. Is director of the west Friesian Museum which acquired the ship in 2015. The yacht this type of ship is called a yacht. There are only small ships but they have 3 masts and a lot of sail area so they were all very fast and could maneuver well on all bodies of water including rivers. Speed and maneuverability was a big advantage for explorers. Western ships like these discovered australia japan. And cape horn river. In the 17th century who couldnt process that because of the trade with dutch businesses in east asia and 16 or 2 rival merchants joined forces to create the Dutch East India Company one of the pioneers of international trade. The government granted the company a monopoly on the lucrative dutch spice trade in south and Southeast Asia that in 1615 a competitor appeared on the scene. To be a man called. Organized an expedition. He had been a major shareholder in the Dutch East India Company but was expelled for fraud. After that he made it his business to cause as much trouble for the company as he could. One way to do that was to find a new sea route to asia. Newark to feel a man wanted to get back into the ancient spice trained in space. You. Know he sent his son jacobi and an experienced skipper vellum cornelius shout and to search for what he described as an undiscovered southern continent. Bought off each year but their real mission was to find a new way to sail to asia right. I think usual time you were routed out of. The expedition left course on june 14th 1615. 00 with 2 ships the eintracht and the small horn jack up in there and philip chosen and a crew of more than a c. Began their journey into the unknown. They board from the to advice on board those ships was very hard. A made to lower deck for example was just 1. 3 metres high so the crew was always Walking Around bent over. They had to sleep on the bare floor. Another big problem was food they had to fight malnutrition and scurvy spawning and of course the crew was really nervous welling up because they had no idea where they were headed. For the destination of the expedition was kept secret until the last minute. To work so they were literally sailing right off the map for the guards off. In december 25th teen arvid folks and his crew left. The southernmost city in argentina on the final stage of their journey to cape horn. Their next stop was Porto Williams in chile. The jackal belay who works as a harbor master at Lake Constance has joined them for this part of the trip. Hes traveling around the world by sea and his small ship is docked at Porto Williams hes grateful for the riot in a harsh environment like this everyone helps each other. One last look at. From here its only about 20 nautical miles to Porto Williams the last time before cape horn. All of it folks knows that things are going to get serious soon. This is his office in palm state in the german states because when he planned the cape horn expedition down to the last detail. This is this map is a bit worn we used it on our last expedition to antarctica but it will give you a good overview. Heres the southern tip of south america. And cape horn which is actually located on island yes this is the strait of magellan which Ferdinand Magellan crossed in 1519 about 100 years before the cape was discovered. Its an extremely difficult trip because the concert so strong. And there are 2 narrow passages on top of that is in shout and powerful economic interests band ships from sailing through here. So they look for an alternative and found the cape in the process. Sail through this passage and promptly named it after. He pressed on and discovered cape horn on january 29th 1616. And. In january 1616 lemaire and shows him sailed through the straits of mckellen and continued along the coast. On january 29th they sighted cape horn but didnt realize that it was located on an island they thought it was part of the mainland. They followed the coast north. And then headed west across the pacific. During this part of their journey they discovered several islands not previously known to the west. They reached the island of java which was under the control of the Dutch East India Company. Before you recall all theyve been at sea for 18 months and had found a new route to asia. But when they reached their destination John Peterson kuhn a Company Official ordered them to hand over the ship. Yes so it was either join the Dutch East India Company or sail back home on the 1st available ship. The company was determined that is that lemaire would not be able to trade on his own so they confiscated his ships and all his papers. And of he proceeded out he was walking over adults court later ruled that the seizures were illegal but continued to ban him from trading in the region. For all of their intellect if you. Remember and chosen never explored the other islands near the cape. And for centuries afterward ships tried their best to stay in open water off the cape. But these areas were still extremely dangerous and many of the ships didnt make this. Is really a house in ships try to sail around the cape particularly during the California Gold rush and 850. 00 s. In california and all sorts of vessels try to get. True so that they could make their way to california and other points further up the west coast of america. Or does it if many of the ships sank and a lot of the crewmembers drowned but you know ships werent very big. They were made of wood and many have probably seen better days. They simply werent equipped to deal with the hazards of a journey like that. As a disease so a lot of ships tried to sail around the cape during the gold rush and many of them sank but we dont know how many because recordkeeping was poor. And then once a humanist took the mickey it will. Pass better records are available from the late 19th and early 20th century busy even some early film footage. Starting in the 860 s. A German Shipping Company owned by the nice family stella had building ships that were financed and steady as. These vessels made their reputation by transporting nitrate from chile to hamburg. In all the companys founder ferdinand lives one said my ships can and should be able to sail quickly that was his top priority. But he also built ships that were designed to withstand even the strongest storms. To go through they probably cut back on things like supplies and amenities for the crew to save money. But those ships were very well built and that was if you like the high point of that chapter of shipping history. Yes. In 1988 allies shipped the pivot made the fastest ever westward trip by a commercial vessel through cape horn 5 days and 14 alice the captain was out of holds. But by contrast in 1905 the german 3 masted ship suzanna session record by taking 99 days to round the cape. For most of that time the area was hit by severe storms with wind speeds of more than 90 kilometers per hour. 30 other ships that was sailing near the cape at the time put into pause 10 vessels either became stranded. A few ships turned around and sailed west towards australia and africa. One of the few early 20th century sailing ships that are still in service is the set up for masjid steel block. It was launched by a German Shipping Company in braman in the 1921 as the mock telling of in its mine. At the end of world war 2 the ship was seized by the british and transferred to the soviet union as reparations. Today the vessel is used to train russian navy cadets many of them find that sailing a ship like this is just as hard today as it was decades ago. Arvid folks visiting one space who went to work on the people in 1989 at the age of 16 he says this is the revolving. Ok. Germanys last surviving cape horn veteran. Arrived involve paraiso chile in september 939 just as world war 2 broke out. The vessel was seized by a british crew and the crew was interned. After the war youre going to continue to work in the shipping industry and in 1953 was promoted to captain. It may sound strange but you learn on the job. And you do the best you can. Takes a while to get used to it. May be rude to. Look at deaths on the set of finding out about that firsthand. One of the more difficult tasks involves climbing up the musts which are nearly 60 meters tall. The crew members wear safety belts. When hundreds. Of nearly 70 years ago that kind of equipment was in short supply. For. All of us were responsible for our own safety. That became 2nd nature which was. Pretty quickly where you could hold on. And you had to hold. But i didnt have a single accident the whole time i worked on ships. And i remember one case in particular where a crew member lost his grip. And fell off the yardarm. 2 of the guys caught him. Notorious for bad weather. But when youre young you dont notice it and you just assume its normal to stand around in water up to your neck. But i did not get their. Hair on the yard its cold and windy. The cadets are working nearly 60 metres about. The deck this is part of a training program. One of the toughest jobs involves gathering the sales no small task in weather like this. Today its even more say you have says its an all inspiring experience to work out that. When i climb up on the masjids really its about being 58 meters high im really afraid and i mean spirit im 2nd time here but im still afraid but its needs. To fray its a good feeling in so. Do you still for sale see isopod ok so i feel my feeling changed since it so i dont walk on the ground. Among firefighters and everyone. And they can bring so i take it full of emotions its cobs nobody projects a long time before we. Need to see its really good really good also i brought off a problem. To do one of my mothers partner sailed around cape horn as a cabin boy when he was 16. When i was a child i love to listen to his stories young when youre kinda going to be in the oval office you dont know the cabin boys at that time were just children but like the rest of the crew they had to work really hard. The lot of the cabin boys was tough. Sometimes during a storm and theyd see a man fall off the rigging because he hadnt secured him self properly. And the crew wore all scams instead of one clothes well is a great material but its not waterproof he says but even with oil scams you were always so. Through plus the weather was cold and the food was terrible men had a kind machine and the ships didnt have engines so they had to rely exclusively on winds power. It took a special kind of captain to sail vessels like those. They managed to sail the ships around the cape with speed and precision up faster than a steam occurred in fact. I know. There was a lot of Competition Among the various ships and it was a remarkable achievement for the captains and their crews to do what they did. Much after all i said. After the panama canal was built the research around the cape became much less important. Basque acorn is still a major destination in Many International sailing rick as says it was him and has traveled around the cape 3 times. By storm when were sailing around the world we focus on speed and performance not romantic things like the legend of cape horn towards him but it does have a certain attraction. And in Competitive Racing theres a definite spirit of adventure of using every time you go to sea its a leap into the unknown. You never know whats going to happen and you cant rely on Weather Forecast so you have to deal with the forces of nature as they cant apologize. And that. It can get really wild because of it all the weather can change suddenly you can see the air masses in contrast in the air temperature are stronger down there than anywhere else. Into felix the rise of the. Earth in the middle of a storm the wind speed is 45. 00 knots were using just the small sails. Were close to cape horn the highlights of this race. Will pass quite soon welcome to the Antarctic Ocean weve got a cold front behind us and the seas are rough. Below deck the crew are mostly protected from the elements and can enjoy a few conveniences nothing that serious of course but the food is better than it was on the 19th century ships theres no time for cooking so they just pull hot water on these ready to eat meals. The coastal area around cape horn office no protection the ships have to cope with stormy seas on their own and if something goes wrong help is a long way off. Im street firms now giuliana on an reacts when were saving from australia to cape horn for our fear is always a factor and we know that eventually were going to have to turn south and head for the cape i do we have to deal with the weather no matter what we just hope that a c. Will have mercy on us and they will sail through the rocks dignitas and announce you know new things and foreigners. Oh. Here we are at cape horn. The sun just coming up. And you can see the outline of the rocks. They seem strange and mysterious. This may be the most remote place in the world. With good writers and this is a magical moment. And look theres an albatross out there. About what was. When the ship has passed the cape its traditional for the crew to pour a little rum into the sea and onto the deck and to take a shot themselves. Even though boris is an experienced sailor this is a very special moment for him. Just as dollars have been is crossing cape horn arvid folks and his ship the dogma and sail into Porto Williams the 2 men take a completely different approach to sailing. As. The boat that boris is using is like a formula one racer. But we use a traditional ship one that was built in 1931 fighter couldnt and when we couldnt be more different when it comes to sailing and the way we approach it. Still i think that what boris does is incredibly exciting i have a lot of respect for what hes done and i wish him and his crew all the best. 200 meters away from the dock with a dogma or in this tied up a chilean navy just getting ready to set off ok. Chile has a naval station there and the crew will inspect and resupply it. They time their departure so that theyll arrive at dawn when the weather is supposed to be good. The route leads south from presho williams then through the Beagle Channel. And finally across nestle bay towards cape horn. The boat arrives at its destination precisely at 7 in the morning. To make resupply trips like this every 3 months or so from here theyll use inflatable boats to get to the station if the weather holds up. If it doesnt the crew wont risk. The crew unload supplies of food and Construction Materials if the weather is bad for extended periods the naval station will be supplied by air. These are prefabricated buildings theres not enough time between storms to put up proper structures. The naval station and lighthouse are built on a peach bed thats 30 meters deep when the wind is really high you can actually see the buildings sway kid by steel cables so that they dont plow away. Arvid folks took this picture when he 1st visited there in the winter of 1984. Folks and a friend paddled to the cape enfolding all the way from. The boats are made of wood and fabric. They look like they wouldnt stand a chance in the treacherous seas around cape horn. On the day that the 2 adventurous finally reached the cape the waves were up to full fees high it was a roller coaster ride. Then they went ashore where they were welcomed by chilean military personnel who were stationed there. At the chapel mostly of driftwood the chaplain blessed folks and his friend perhaps he thought it was necessary. Cape horn is famous for its weather extremes including ferocious winds. The naval station commander is on an inspection top right now preparations are underway for a celebration to mark the anniversary of the capes discovery. These wooden walkways are designed to keep people from trampling on the fragile vegetation. This monument on his sailors have drowned at cape horn. It was built to withstand winds of 200 kilometers per hour. But it was damaged in a recent storm and then repaired. An estimated 10000 people have died trying to sail around the cape and 800 ships have been lost. In. The a glial family moved to the naval station just 2 weeks ago theyll be stationed here for a year but theyre used to extreme weather. And you. Know what have you been there in there in a while in which you. Dont see the factor house access name but not the wind weve gotten used to that it doesnt bother us. Normal. So there are a lot of us simply like you again my family and i are here because were serving our country. All the ships and boats that sail to or from antarctica from the pacific or the atlantic all of them pass through here. Sort of the name of were here to stand guard over the cape. Going to allow its a very dangerous place particularly with the high winds. The we fear the so its our duty to protect people and to serve our fatherland. In and i want to interview you i said by the. Now the navy boat on its way back to port said williams the weather is unusually good right now on. The benches outfitted with a satellite Navigation System but the crew still use traditional equipment to get their bearings. But no. Captain jaime hill has been stationed at Porto Williams for 5 years and he has experienced all kinds of weather. The moment. Its really nice today. Compared to the last few days. The conditions including heavy swells and high winds were very dangerous for carrying out operations. All in just a few weeks ago we went out on emergency call. It was one of 2 crew members had disappeared from a fishing boat. But as. You know more than ever the wind speed at the time was 85 knots. Or about 150 kilometers per hour. And the way they were about 2 to 3 meters high. Or that all of that made our work very difficult. But today the crews lucky and the weather was quite pleasant. Would have been a p. C. By the community in this region one of the navys most Important Missions is to defend our national sovereignty. And were right on the border with argentina. Thank god there have been no disputes between the 2 countries in the last 4 decades. Mary responsibility is to keep the peace and show the flag here some personnel might not enjoy being assigned to this area but for us as a naval combat unit its perfect. Pusha williams is the last pull its people kate. The crew are now stocking up on fuel for the ships engine and he says. The tanks hold 4500 leases a field. Its summer here right now so the marina is full and the dogma owen has to drop in the. Steam ship that used to travel up and down the rhine river has been converted into a jet ski. As part of the dogma or unscrew. The whole lot of people come down here to sail around cape horn. Most of them are from europe its a difficult trip. To the cape theres about 1000 article miles of unprotected coastline the conditions can be really rough you have to earn the right to sail around cape horn. Other visitors are happy to spend a few weeks here on vacation and travel around the cape uncharted yachts for many its a dream come true. The demo and is now tied up at the jetty right next to a family of sailors from britain. Think angela she knows have been travelling around the world on the yacht the money for nearly 3. 00 decades daughter roxanne 18 and son cesar 24. 00 named after a hurricane were born during these trips. Jill met her future husband when the 2 of them were hired to transfer a yacht from europe to the caribbean nick planned to buy is own boat and travel the world. He said would you like to come with me and ill take you to the straits and again and so i said yeah great and its taken us 27 years to get down here so its kind of been like a loadstone for us so its pretty good to actually finally just last week achieved our objective of actually seeing cape horn and going around cape horn. Its more than just a rock in the sea. Its what it represents really. But i dont i mean it represents the fact that i mean in the past it was the only way around from. The atlantic to the pacific and to australia and so forth and to from one side of america to the other. But i dont think we would have come here specifically for that i mean it is that you know the most notorious its the ever rest of sailing. Then people on the ground well trips of her day off in this direction and not been seen again of couldnt struggle a lot of people get into trouble so there are stories of people good it is a boat here that was dismissed it just sounds like a home and was towed in here to to do repairs which still going on the moment. So that does happen and that means motive because. After several days the weather improves. Its time for the dogma owen to head out to cape horn. And albatross circles about shit. Thats said to be a good omen many say this believe that the souls of their dead come rains live on in these banks. Theres a stranded freighter at this end of the Beagle Channel another reminder of the dangers of rounding k. Corner. But the sea is a relatively calm today the crew of the dogma and full of the sails and get to work. They can hardly believe their luck. And little h. S. Some dolphins arrive to accompany the ship as a sail stream nests all day. The crew takes a few minutes to enjoy the sight. Finally the dogma on sails past cape home on. How they fell behind but i dont think any other case has captured the imagination of sailors like this one does you feel so many ships have sunk here and so many men have died and into good but the weather is good today just better here obviously thats not always the case but for the love and because of the bad weather people sometimes call this cape fear is you know get out here. Theres a lot of history in the mountains that you can see behind me yeah yeah i mean i dont want to stay in one sense its just a cape like any other but its the history of this place that sets it apart. And. Its on the whole been tied up as its all its a special moment for us its so i dont know how to describe it. But its a great achievement to actually make it past the cape. But no i dont think you dont forget we sailed more than 9000 miles to get here from hamburg the big sister. We did it in a small wooden ship thats before its just an 18 meters long shot of my meter and now weve done it did it feel like a bit of the brightest of its an important occasion there will be other expeditions of course but were going to remember this one out of a Good Business decision but dont know what to say im overcome with emotion right now if you can name im just thoughtful i know theres a lot of make up and nothing fico most. Of the time you know you think about the history of this place and everything thats happened here over the years. And just to hear that he is an Awesome Company if. I have it folks and his crew achieve their goal for 100 years have to the cake was discovered it and became part of the legend of cape horn. Movie. Going by a sausage and a low veggie.
