TheSailingChannel.TV is proud
to bring
you "In the Wake of the Zaca," the remarkable
adventures of a
California schooner. This award-winning documentary by
Luther Greene captures a lost age of adventure, romance, and
Hollywood glamour told through the history of a 75 year-old,
118 foot gaff-rigged topsail schooner.
Launched
in San Francisco on the eve of the great depression, Zaca explored stone-age
civilizations in the South Pacific, patrolled the California
coast as an armed ship of war during World War II, and
served as party boat for sailor and swashbuckling actor,
Errol Flynn.
Left
to languish as a striped hulk on a mud flat in the south of France, Zaca
rose like the phoenix to sail again. Sail in her wake and gain a unique
perspective on history and experience adventures most of us can only dream
about.
