A sea captain in the seventeenth century prepares to set out on a dangerous journey. He is going to attempt
to sail around South America’s Cape Horn for the first time. With an inexperienced crew and a small ship, he
has plenty of reasons to fear the voyage.

One night, the captain encounters a deadly storm that threatens to destroy the ship. Rather than abandon
ship, he decides to face the storm, even though he risks being ripped apart with the ship.

The brutal winds, unpredictable currents, and 50-foot waves make the long journey to the Cape challenging,
and the worst is yet to come.

When the captain sails into the harbor, he is cheered by the crew, who raise him up on their shoulders and
carry him off the ship.

The captain manages to keep his ship and crew safe. As the storm begins to die down, Cape Horn comes
into view. The captain slowly steers the ship toward the safety of land.
