Heinrich Hauser
The man
He was invited by the city of Hamburg and the maritime transport company Laeisz. He shot a movie, took photos and published an account, translated into english under the title Fair Wind and Fouls, during these 110 days of voyage. The movie is available in video tape and the book may still be found used (cf. references). Nineteen years later, William Stark boarded for the last passage of the Cape Horn. Twenty-eight years later, Hilary Tunstall-Behrens will also write his account of his voyage to Rio. |
