This evocative tribute tells the story of the famous iron-hulled sailing ship, the Star of India. Once a workhorse of global trade, the ship was rescued from decline and given new life in San Diego through a remarkable restoration. Through images and stirring accounts, the 1977 documentary brings to life both the challenges and triumphs of this extraordinary rebirth.
