... equal parts Victorian chivalry, manifest destiny and nationalist machismo, less swashbuckler than melodrama with plenty of romantic complications.

Parallax View
The plot is pretty creaky stuff, but the incredible high seas footage elevates the picture to an astonishing new level.

Product Description:
This silent film follows the race between two ships and the attempt at proving to an Englishwoman that her fiance is a villainous blackguard. All the action actually takes place on a clipper ship.
Product Description:
The maritime rivalry between the United States and Great Britain in the middle decades of the nineteenth century has been used as the basis for the story, which begins when the youthful Queen Victoria bids God-speed to Lord Huntington, whose clipper is about to sail on her maiden voyage to China. From Boston, The Yankee Clipper also sets sail for Foochow, under command of her owner's son, Hal Winslow (played by a pre-Hopalong Cassidy William Boyd). In the Orient he meets Jocelyn Huntington, unmasks her craven fiancé, falls in love with her, and enters the Yankee Clipper in a race to Boston with the British vessel, the stake being Foochow's tea trade. A silent masterpiece from producer Cecil B. DeMille.
