Ghosts of Cape Horn (1980)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Set prior to the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, the 1980 documentary 'Ghosts of Cape Horn' retraces the journey made by sailing ships during the days when it was necessary to travel 18,000 miles around Cape Horn in order to sail from the East Coast to the West Coast of the U.S.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
